Have you seen the larger Breen cap ship ? Makes the Chel Gret look like a destroyer, and the console on the QWW cruiser award says it'll only work on Breen ships.

promo runs to the 27th dec. i would expect a new lock box perhaps the following week or two after that. (cant imagine they will release one on the 27th when most of the devs are on holiday), so early jan seems likely to me.

I know a lot of people don't like lock-boxes but I am excited.
Jan is usually a dull month - but it could be a great month for ship collectors if Cryptic gets this right
Andorian C-store
Breen Free ship
and a New lock-box ship!!
Could be a real draw to get people back in after the holidays
I'm pretty sure they said they were releasing a lock box in late Jan to early February. And I'd bet on it being a Breen carrier with a lobi fighter (and maybe a lobi frigate). Probably something along the lines of a tactical carrier, like the Kar'fi.

Given the schedule last time they ran this promo, this is very likely correct.
I still think the Hirogen would be a good and plot-relevant choice - given their involvement with the Romulans.
They have interesting ground and space tech that I could see populating a lockbox and add some new flavor to both. Personal Cloaking, Containment Fields, perhaps some advanced Tetryon weapon(s) - granted, that damage type is a bit saturated at the moment(I would probably quite enjoy disruptor-tetryon on my torp boat though..).
Holy cow do I get whipped - and abused for bring up a new lock-box - evil me:P
Your mustache twirling days are over wrongdoer! :P
In all seriousness, I do not like to fight Romulan ships. I do not want to fight against, or alongside player-controlled Romulan ships. I do not want to fight against, or alongside Lock-Box quality (I.E. Never kill anything, and never die) player ships. :P
I know they are running some old ones - but the Time-ship box is so "yesterday"
Aren't they just. Seems like we've had the Temporal Lock Box for Years. They've got to have been with us for longer than any other. It sure feels like it.
As per the content of a new Lock Box. The logical choice of thought would be Romulan or Breen, yet, they've stated there are no plans to put a Romulan ship into a Lock Box, and they've already given us a Breen ship. I feel a second Breen release would become somewhat redundant compared. Why are people going to pay all that money for a lock box that provides a T5 Breen ship when they can get one for free via the Christmas event?
Could be Reman (though that kind of goes with the Romulan idea).
Could be Hirogen (though I honestly don't see that many people being bothered with them).
Could be another Jem Hadar / Dominion ship? We've got the Destroyer (without Bridge). A 2nd vessel from the Gamma Quadrant seems likely, especially if we follow the rule of how the Destroyers were acquired.
Otherwise, I'm thinking something else that could be used by both FED and KDF players. All I've got is Son'a.
One set of items that's guaranteed are Terran Escorts for the Federation players among us. As for what else, the traditional lobi collection of course. Short of that? It's anyone's guess.
Come on Brandon or Mr Stahl - drop us a hint - like the last one you said we would know in "time" - with some emphasis on time in your voice and drawing the word out.

Give the guys a chance. The rerun only just started today. :P
No Hirogen, either; they're great C-Store fodder for a Rommie faction ala the KDF allied races, no use squandering it.
Breen would be fine. Perhaps a dual-faction setup ala Wells/Korath with an Andorian ship (not the Escort) and a Gorn ship? You could theoretically do that for each member race of both factions for a pretty substantial amount of lockbox material.
Think about it. A Tellarite/Nasuicaan lockbox. A Vulcan/Orion lockbox. That's three lockboxes right there with the one above, enough to last almost a year without having to expend the shallow pool of remaining faction-neutral ships or directly violating their no-faction-specific-ships rule.
A ship that had a decent buff when using plasma sets might be a nice change then it would let people use romulan weapons again. So maybe a ship that uses plasma weapons in the show might be nice.
Btw about the romulan ships idea. I wonder if cryptic can get the tos romulan bop as a box ship, its old, its cool, the ferengi probably could get their hands on some and i doubt the romulan race would care as they are so old.
Personally id be after a escort of some kind.
Actually the pirate ship picard was on when he was undercover would be a great box ship i think. Would be a good escort, have stealth ability due to having good stealth in the episode, fires pretty mean cannons and u saw the bridge so cryptic could replicate it probably from the episode. The tng episode Gambit the ships from.

Only drawback is the inevitable fan-rage at their favorite race's ship being in a lockbox. But honestly, it may be the only way it'll be financially feasible for them to handle it. The KDF racial ships didn't do so hot in general, and I kinda doubt people are gonna go as bonkers over a Tellarite ship as they will an Andorian one.
To them I say, save your EC now, because this may be your only hope. And I am legitimately sorry it'll probably have to be this way.
as far as i know, the Breen ship is a stripped version, without even a bridge, without any console.. etc..
and the possibility to get it ends soon in January.
I am sure as hell we'll see an "enhanced" version of this ship (with bridge, some console, set in the LOBI store) released SOON, IN A LOCKBOX.
Next, the birthday is coming, and i think we'll get some free ships - same as last year here too. With upcoming bundle in the Zen store.
What would that be? Possibilities:
1 - faction ship
FED - no clue
KDF - a Gorn ship, I hope not another cruiser..
2 - if they totally abandoned Romulan Faction, they will introduce playable Romulans within existing factions, with a cross-faction Romulan Bundle.
With this, we can expect more Romulan ships hopefully in the Zen store in 2013.
I'll be VERY dissapointed. Still hoping they will be clever and do the 3rd faction thing, as FAR MORE PROFITS are hidden in a faction, than in a bundle and some ships..

Dont know where you read that but they are just "rerun" old boxes from the past:
http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=787141
No Jems on this one so the Jems will still continue to dominate the exchange market
Hmmmm....
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
I know they are running some old ones - but the Time-ship box is so "yesterday":eek:
True - could we get a Breen Battleship??

I like lockboxes too. I dont want one every month but 4 different ones a year is fine.
Besides, I can't buy master keys with EC right now; I need that for reputation TRIBBLE.
they're the older ones
cardassian -> Ferengi -> tholian -> temporal -> ?
and the odd occasion where they run a limited time -any of the previous-
Given the schedule last time they ran this promo, this is very likely correct.

No. This is a bad idea and you should feel bad.
