Andorian Escort

Please make it a lockbox ship, I want it to constantly be a top rank ship and not slowly drift to the back of the class.

It's still a canon ship, I just hate the thought of it quickly getting passed by when other ships are released. An Andorian ship, an escort especially, should always be king of the hill. And while I generally do not care for lockbox ships, if this would be the only way to make sure it is always competitive, I am ok with it. Because I am already willing to spend a foolish amount on this ship anyway.
An Andorian ship is ideal for Andorians
and perhaps a later update or fleet version could be even better
But I would be kicked out of our "gang" for STFs if I turned up in a lock box ship of any kind
(we have infact recently lost a guy who went Renegade and started using a temporal vessel)
A fleet version would be acceptable, as long as they make sure the fleet ones stay on par with lockbox ships as well.
On average? I would say it's close. Sure their are some rough ones in lockboxes, but take a look at some of the KDF fleet stuff, it's pretty bad too. I guess if they make the Andorian ship a C-Store, we can just immediatly star petetioning for a fleet version
so unless you want to see Klingons in an Andorian ship
Good point, but they could always do a split box like with the Wells Class, and give the KDF a Leathan one.
And who cares about that? It's your problem that your fleet/team/whatever have such rules.
im only one man making one vote
Sounds like your in the wrong fleet. No one should be able to dictate what ships another person can/cannot bring with them in group.
Why?
I don't recall the Andorians being the Vorlons of Star Trek..
Why not? If the fleet has a theme it is actually a good thing to restrict certains ships.
If you don't like it or find them silly like me just join another fleet.
I'm hoping for a new C-store escort. Or a agile cruiser which could mount DHC's :-) It would be perfect for my Andorian Tac captain :-)

Its one thing to restrict yourself, but others shouldn't restrict you. The OP (sollvax) made it sound like they were the restricting influence, not you. If you agree to restrict yourself, why complain about how a ship that you will be restricting yourself from anyways will be distributed?
Thats like complaining that gloves come in pairs after you had voluntarily cut off your own left hand.
Ummm first thing wrong with this is you kicked a guy for using a ship. Whoever did this is most likely the next Hitler. Next you say fleet ships are better then lock box ships why dose it matter. All ships are cannon except the kling lockbox temp ship and the m?bius. I don't remember a recluse but I might be wrong but by that half the C store ships can't be used. I hope it is a lockbox ship just so 50000 people won't be running around in them
But to use that fleets prerogative as reasoning to not make the ship a lock-box item? Come on now! I have to call the Whaaaaaaambulance on situations like that!
I'd rather see it as a lock box simply because I don't want to see a million of them. As it is, ESD space is already plum-full of non-Starfleet ships..
Seeing Federation member ships was really, really rare. Seeing Federation crew on an enemy ship was even more rare. Whenever you dealt with the Federation, you were more then likely going to be dealing with a Starfleet ship.
Not anymore.
On a side note I dont think any of the lockbox ships have a Fleet version, nore probably ever will, and having it in the Cstore makes it accessible to everyone (Or anyone wanting to spend money).
Most people who want ships in a lockbox want it just so they can buy it off the exchange for EC, while nothing wrong with that kinda makes putting it in the lockbox in the first place moot.
Edit: also Cstore ships are useable by all your alts (faction wise anyway). thats more worth my money than a random chance at one of my characters getting it.
Wanting to purposefully restrict a new ship is selfish and elitist.
As for wanting to limit the amount of none-fed ships flown by feds, it's far too late for that.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
I must have missed all the hype. Nothing near what the Vesta had going.
The argument of being able to buy them on the exchange is equally void and elitist, since people ask insane and ridiculous amounts of EC for such ships, which most people can't afford. I for one, have to scrape things together just to even see 1 mil EC.
PW and Cryptic are companies that think in terms of profit. They will decide on the option that makes most money for them.
For the glory of Tempus!
I am the hands of Shar!
Flames of Kossuth, protect me!
Oghma, grant me knowledge!
Lolth commands, and I obey!
I'd absolutely agree with this. I'm prepared to buy something from the C-store but I am not prepared to gamble away $100's just for the chance of getting it. Quite frankly it's bad enough nearly all ships go in to the C-store without them all being lockbox drops too. That's why it was nice to get the Ambassador as a reward rather than buying it.
i would think temporal ships are canon. i mean, i can understand showing up in a d'kora or a galor would be frowned upon, but a temporal ship? there was one in...voyager? iirc? if there's been one that came back, no doubt there were more. and were captured/gutted/refitted with 24th/25th century gear, and reissued.
what about mirror universe ships? those are canon and lockboxed.
not criticizing, just confused and looking for clarity
