It's not even pay to win. If it I might even pay its pay to attend an event and get stuff free, it is a very odd decision I struggle to believe the development costs are recouped via this method, people go to those events because they want to and can do so and would go anyway.
I never get these one of free ships they hardly get used and are never balanced being either rubbish (because free) or overpowered because really rare, surely much better to attract new subs by introducing new balanced ships and mechanics/in game events to obtain them especially given the time taken to make new models and set about balancing them.
You have a set of good pirate faction ships (sisters of eve) which were really well implemented. In many ways there are too many options here to really balance these, would have been better to have some lore behind minmatar republic obtaining decommissioned vessels backed by caldari finances and basing the ships on two factions.

They can be simulated on the test server now.
Hard to judge as there are so many options but I would be leaning towards a dual rep blaster fit, bit like dual rep incursus only with full tackle, very vulnerable to being kited though.
Tanks seem strong but the DPS and speed make these seem a little bit of a nothing in general. Not sure if they are quite at pirate faction level but am unsure at what level they are being pitched at.
Think I would not be flying these given the expected price point. |

You need to look at the language that is being used. It states promotions which almost which implies plex sales or subscription offers.
I don't actually have a problem with this, CCP often gives away skins and such like during promotions or offers.
However the issue I have is the impact on the ships being introduced. Instead of a useful balanced addition to the game we get a novelty ship.
They are good for ratting for sec status, quite tanky but with quite significant vulnerabilities in speed, low DPS and a cruiser and battleship without any drones is probably asking for trouble. If you are a pirate you don't even get the tankyness ( I find the sec status bonus quite interesting however so would not suggest removing it)
As it stand they do not seem overpowered and so are balanced, there main use will be as a novelty ship item that is worth a large ISK value due to rarity.
