BUDGET ALERT: KDF Elite Starter Pack for Under $5 (Limited Time)

Good evening, and welcome to Joe and STO!

While I write up on the Tier 5 Reputation Buyout coming this week, I wanted to point you to something I found on Reddit.

The Federation has gotten more than its fair share of Starter Pack giveaways, and while this isn’t a giveaway, it’s also the cheapest you’ll probably ever find a Tier 6 ship on the Klingon side.

Humble Bundle is doing a Better Futures Bundle to help, “conservation, environmental, and humanities centered causes.” Added today (or at least, brought to players’ attention today) is a Klingon Elite Starter Pack in the 2nd tier of donations, currently valued at $4.11 USD.

…for all Klingons on your account, and the first character to claim it gets extra bank & inventory slots and some gear to help in the early missions.

The Kor has Withering Barrage, an ability extender for Cannon: Rapid Fire and a staple for Cannon builds. Well worth under $5.

In a way, if you have the Legendary T'liss, you don't need this. It unlocks Withering Barrage at Tier 5 Starship Mastery, has the Romulan Enhanced Battle Cloak, and a Plasma version of the Warhead Module.

Still, it's Humble Bundle and the price of an old T1 ship.

And thanks to @stofsk , I see I put the wrong name of the ability the Kor's trait extends.

It extends Cannon: SCATTER VOLLEY (the AoE version), not Rapid Fire (the single-target version).

I was thinking "AoE version" when I typed it, but I got the name wrong.

For perspective, Tier 1 ships used to be in the C-Store at 500 Zen. Shuttles are still available at 500 Zen each. Remember that 100 Zen = $1 USD (not counting Zen Charge Bonus days).

This Bundle sale ends on September 29th at around 2PM Eastern. So what are you waiting for? Go get you a Kor Bird of Prey for your Klingon characters and give to good causes!

NOTE: Be sure at the bottom to move sliders around to determine how much the charities get. If you’re only spending about $5, you may want to make sure as much as possible goes to the charities instead of publishers and perhaps Humble itself.
