I'm planning on the Disco Inferno bundle myself. Fortunately, the flight deck carriers count as just one unlock so you can get both of them, the Ba'ul ship (because you're right, that Sentry Mode console, my Jellyfish needs it) and the Jovian all at once as your three choices. Honestly, I barely consider the consumable options as worthwhile, especially when compared to a ship unlocked for your whole account. You never know when you might feel the urge to do a theme build or if an older console/trait suddenly becomes more relevant due to a change in mechanics.

I’d considered getting all the ships, but the Walker really feels redundant at the moment since I’ve got the Legendary version. I thought about getting the tech upgrades instead, since I’ve got some weapon sets that I could use them on.

You know, I focused so hard on the Disco Inferno part of your question, the Cruiserweight Bundle didn't even register. :D

Yeah, looking at the two, there's not even really any sort of dramatic difference between the Walker and the Legendary Walker, even the seating is pretty similar and out of the two, I'd take the Legendary for more isomags, leaving the standard version, you're absolutely right, pretty pointless. You've found a flaw in my "all ships" logic.

At least with the Jem'Hadar Light Battlecruiser you'd get a console for all ships (made sure it wasn't restricted to Jem'Hadar ships only or anything silly) and a trait that might be amusing for a theme build on a Jem'Hadar character, though the BOff layout is... interesting. Two commander level slots but one's a universal and no ensign? I'd be curious to poke at it personally but the Commander Engineering seat and having the Intel on the only tactical seat just seems... unhelpful.

There are always 13 ability slots distributed among the seats.
