So who here has a Galor Class? I'm wondering how many boxes it would take in average?

I could allow myself $50 invest into these keys but if I don't get one for $50 I will be ****ed. :(

    Then don't. You will have a bigger chance to get the ship if you buy keys and sell them high on the exchange. Especially if you don't want/need the other stuff. With the money you should be able to buy a Galor on the exchange as soon as someone wants to sell it. Which might take a while.

    The odds of getting the ship are pathetically low. There's already a forum thread about people who have been named as ship winners but really didn't. These are cash grabs with a very low percentage of getting the ship, it's just unfortunate how many people are willing to spend hundreds for the "chance" at getting a ship when you can buy an actual tier 5 +1 ship in the c-store for $25.00.

    My advice would be be to avoind these keys altogether and send Cryptic a message but it'll be like ****ing into the ocean. So if you really want one, buy keys on the cstore, sell them on the exchange for about 1.5mil EC and get enough to buy the Galor off the exchange. At least this way you're guaranteed getting the ship.

    They are 350 million EC on the exchange (and will likely drop a bit further i think) so there's always that for the people who are filthy rich and wish to make sure. They're supposed to be very rare so be careful what you decide to "invest" because the odds of getting precisely a Galor are minuscule.

    Nope it's a box like the oddessey, though I know the oddessey is bound. It is going for 400mil+ at the moment.

    None of the "Special Requisiton" boxes are. Once you open the box it will be, but the boxes tell you what's inside, just like the one you got from the 2 year event.

    Then I'd still sell the keys at 1.5 mil each, but wait for the ship to come down in price, it's not worth $334 in keys.

    I have a other Question.

    Are there only "Cardassian Lock Boxes" with Green Quality or are there Boxes with Blue or Purple Quality possible?
    And if yes: Is the Galor only in one of Purple Boxes?

    PS: Sorry for my bad english, am German ^^

    There are purple quality ones, they're called Gold Boxes. Unlike the green quality ones they are bound to the character that finds them and they must open it so they're not going to be on the exchange.
    The Galor can be in any of the boxes but supposedly much more likely in the gold (purple quality ones). So patient people who only open gold boxes might get the Galor at a reasonable price, but that's not going to happen in the first day.

    I opened a gold box and while i didn't get a Galor i got an opposite faction console so i was happy with what i got. I wouldn't "farm" the regular boxes, that's for the fools but if i get a gold one i'll try my luck.

    As far as i remember the box was actually called "Cardassian Locked Box - Gold" and was marked "Very Rare". I'm not talking about the "Special Requisition" boxes you find inside or about the "Mystery package" but about the Gold variant of the locked boxes.

    Maybe I crapped out, but I won my Galor on my second key. Funny part is, I was trying for the Crossfire Tribble.

    Its a lottery. For the americans here, you pay taxes, does that mean your state gives you free lottery tickets to win a jackpot? So why should Cryptic/PWE give you free keys for a box just because you subscribe?

    You play the lottery for fun, not to win. Winning is a bonus. Dont like it, Dont play. Dont spoil it for us.

    You are correct, now I remember, they say, mistery box...

    so you are telling me this mistery boxes will drop another box, that may be very rare or not?

    Nice, now i feel very scammed...

    The tests they did on the Jem Hadar ship concluded that you would exepect to open 250 boxes and even there is no guarantee.

    They should stop trying to get money from their players and instead provide a stable server... :mad:

    One of our guys got it, took him 300ish boxes. So that drop rate is probably around the same .5%.

    sooo, you pick up the box (gold purple one) from a Daily mission. It is in your inventory but how do you open it to see whats inside? Move to to your Charactor slot or ship?
    Ok, figured it out, got a tribble

    Heh. What's funny is that my state has an 'Education Lottery', which always makes me snicker because it points up the fact that if you have an education then you would *avoid* the lottery since it's very much a losing game, easily discovered with basic math. The only people who really win are the ones collecting the money.
