Original STO beta tester.
Yeah I really like the "in every box" thing. It's an adorable bit of flavor which is appreciate in the nth iteration of a content pack.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
Captain Killy Bridge Officer please!
Also WOOT! Terran uniforms! Need.
And new flavors of Linked weapons eh? Sounds interesting. I foresee the tactical ones being rather popular.

I never knew of this Fortune Cookie Tribble, but it looks so amazingly accurate to its name lol I wonder what it does? The other stuff offered I deem like participation trophies. It's the way Cryptic can state, "see no gambling here they got something."
Nice assortment of Captain Traits offered all with positives & negatives.
All 3 Kit Modules sound excellent & fun.
The weapon pack sounds like another good follow-up to the expanding more specialized weaponry.
That Agony console, imo, is hit or miss depending upon how much impact it actually does. It reads as "cool" but it depends upon what it actually does in-game whether or not it is just a novelty.
I'm really surprised this Emperor's Lock Box only offers the possibility of 1 ship. Don't all the other, if not most, of the Lock Boxes offer 2 ship possibilities? I mean the cool uniforms & the sword weapon isn't a chance to win since it is purchased with the expensive character bound Lobi so overall this seems to offer less significant items to win besides the fluff items that mean you really lost & thanks for playing, but what it is offering does seem good quality items & nice assortment too.
Excellent ship it seems & nice variety of other items, but nothing I want to risk gambling for since I lose anyways.
What does this mean??? "Each box also contains a Terran Fortune Cookie, with a similarly assorted fortune."
Is it a Tribble we can place in devices or a "cookie" to "crack open for a fortune" of a temporary buff?????
And have to get another one over and over???
Or are there multiple "Fortunes" and we can have a multitude of Cookie Tribbles of different flavors??????
OK...I may be slightly over analyzing this...it is only a Tribble.
Don't leave room in your writing for me to start dreaming up things, goshdingit.

We eat the Tribble Fortube Cookie and excrete the goodies later. We have become the Cannibal Tribble.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
(Would that also apply to, say, Voth consoles if/when they get a T6 variant?)
Based on what they've said on Livestreams, it's the new standard going forward for all ships. The last few C-Store ships (Narendra, Vor'ral, Europa) came with consoles that can be used on any ship.
On the Voth consoles, it is pretty likely if/when they get uplifted to T6. The Wells class variants and Temporal Destroyer had their consoles become equip-able on any ship, and that extended to the T5 variant consoles. Due note, however, that the consoles in that weren't in the uplift, like the Paradox's console, didn't have their equip limits changed, so if the Bastion and Palisade end up T6 uplifted, their consoles will become truly universal, but the Bulwark's might not.

Now that that's made clear... on to the next issue: when are playable Voth coming, and where's are my T7 Vesta and C-store purchasable real life shuttle?
I'm not that interested in the gold plating on those uniforms, but I might get them. I like the black armour look and the extra weapon visuals and such.

You eat the Fortune Cookie Tribble and later excrete out the rewards. We are now all Cannibal Tribbles.

It would depend on stats...and how it fits into your build.
And if it is worth give up something else in order to slot new traits.
Both in ground and space: HOW SLOW are they talking about??? What is brief duration???
Anyhoo...look before you buy.
I wonder if we could get clarification... on this part though: Player getting a "Critical" ON the Target slows the Player down???

However - I'd rather buy the ship through Zen (real money) in one time, rather than having to open up a lockbox lottery.
Let's be honest here, this is possibly what's keeping players away from the game, after a while of playing, in general..
I believe it means whenever you take a crit from an enemy attack.
Doubt it. However you can just buy it off another player off the Exchange. When the supply gets a bit more steady it will probably be around 400 mil ECs.
You also have to consider what's going to be a more reliable source of income for Cryptic. A one time per account purcase, or a steady stream from lockbox keys?
Also note... you don't need to actually USE said keys. You can sell them to other people for generally around 4 mil each.

It's because the silhouette of the sword is nearly identical to the Power Sword.

I have to test them with my Gorn player character (I've been using the special ones for him, but if I recall 'screechy' ones squealed with the Gorn BOffs of my other KDF characters too.
