however. it is pretty calculable, from how much zen we can get 800-900 lobi. so let's say 25k. zen for a second lobi ship could be made an option.

this would increase the ec. exc. prices. for those ships.
lobi would worth more in ec.
and could be a dil. sink

Simply thought it'd be a nice feature beforethe lootbox hammmer refocuses on STO and other PWE games. ^^

The lockbox hammer is not going to refocus on STO. I understood the furor over the lockboxes for the Battlefront game and EA and all but not this. I do not want to see lockboxes banned instead individual responsibility to reign as well as parental responsibility and not more legislation. Also, I am not for this because lockboxes, along with other things in the game, make them money. Why do all of your characters on your account need to have that ship anyway? Finally, I disagree that the lockboxes in this game have predatory mechanics. I like it how it currently is. Thanks.

Doesn't really apply to me as the only lock box ships I own were purchased for 3-5m EC each from the exchange. And the only Lobi ship I ever bought was sold on the exchange for a decent amount of EC...back before I found lobi items I decided I really wanted, now I'm wishing I had all that lobi back...sigh.

I think Baddmoon did say something a while back that making lockbox/lobi ships account reclaims has been discussed and at least the result was not a resounding "never gonna happen". Maybe if we keep asking, it might one day happen.

As far as lockboxes themselves go, I definitely think they should award a LOT more Lobi, other than that, they keep this game running. I do my part, I occassionally buy a key ring bundle, use 1/2 of those keys to open boxes, sell the other 1/2 on the exchange so others that don't have any Zen can open boxes if they wish. I always get something from each box, the small amount of lobi that I am after, and on average, enough other stuff that I can sell and get at least as much EC as I would have gotten from selling the keys instead.

If lockbox and lobi ships were to go to account reclaims, I myself would likely buy even more keys, I can always use more lobi anyway and the chance of getting a good, account wide ship would make it worth spending just little more than usual.

while act reclaim on lock box ship will never happen it would be nice if they gave some option like when you open a lockbox ship you claim that ship on another charcter for 400k dill or something or claim 1500 lobi my biggest problem is getting a ship then not being able to decide who to put it on or opening it and going i wish i had this ship on my other character
