I'll start with the LTS. I have bought it in November, when it was on sale. Actually a series of events led to me buying the LTS.
1. My local P&W department gave me a refund worth 300 EUR.
2. LTS went on sale for 199 USD.
3. LTS was upgraded to instantly include ALL Veteran Rewards
So I decided, it is worth it. After all it pays off after little over a year AND I get cool stuff (e.g. Android BOFF, free VA Ship Token, 1000 Day Veteran Ship, etc.). Btw, the Bonuses on XP allowed me to get my Romulan pretty fast to Level 50. ;)

Now for the Legacy / Starter Pack. Honestly, the Legacy Pack was a bit unbalanced in my opinion. It contained way too much Ships, that one would only use for level 10 levels. The 30 Lock Box Keys did little to balanced that out. Later on we learned about the Consoles and their Set Bonuses, but still I thought it was overpriced. Then there is the Starter Pack. I bought that one, because it was more attractive to me. It is decently priced, contained two Ships (T'Varo / T'Varo Retrofit)and a nice Liberated Reman Borg BOFF.
Buying this Starter Pack was a sweet deal to me. I was thinking about getting the T'Varo Retrofit anyway and now I have the full Set Bonus on it. In addition, I could save my VA Ship Token for another Romulan T5 Ship.

I pick up the legacy pack from steam as it was on sale at £80 here in the uk

Plus i wanted keys asap

I like your YouTube channel

I bought the Legacy Pack and, so far, I am enjoying it very much. Normally, I resist buying C-Store ships, but I knew that sooner or later I'd buy one or two of the tier five ships, so I figured I might as well buy them before the price went up. I also liked the 30 Master Keys, which I promptly sold for a ton of EC. I like the consoles that come with the Legacy Pack better than the ones that came with the Odyssey Pack ships. I thought the prices were a little steep, but I had some spare money in the bank and I doubt if the Legacy Pack will go on sale any time soon, if ever, now that the introductory sale is over.

I checked out CoreScoop this morning and I liked it very much. The "Iron Sky" movie review brought back memories of reading Heinlein's "Rocket Ship Galileo" when I was a kid. Same basic plot device, just set several decades earlier. The segments on private space missions to the Moon and Mars also brought back memories of Fifties science stories where the characters sit around talking about how space travel is "too big" for governments to be able to finance and that only "Private Enterprise" can raise the kind of capital needed to go into space. At the time I thought it was pretty it now seems like the SF writers may have been right.

My only gripe with CoreScoop is that in order to leave a comment it seems that you have to create a YouTube Channel in order to access the comment section.

By the by, to answer your question on CoreScoop about why go to Mars instead of the Moon, the big advantages Mars has are an atmosphere and a large and varied stock of usable resources that could be used to support a colony. The Moon makes a better launch pad for deep space missions, but nobody in their right mind would want to live there.
