    As I'm sure it's not PWE's intention for players to be put in a situation where we can't fully enjoy the content you create for us

    No, it isn't.

    But they also want you to buy their stuff. So if you want to build a carrier pilot with a Dominion carrier... buy a JHAS for that character.

    We will now know for sure every person will have equal equipment in pvp.

    Why would you want to be equal? The whole idea is to gain an overwhelming advantage and utterly crush your opponent. If your opponent bests you in combat, develop strategy and tactics to overcome.

    I've tried to PVP again recently, I gained the upper hand quickly over an opponent thanks to a combination of consoles and good flying, only to get a face full of profanity, threats to report for hacking and general 5 year old behavior.

    It's these sorts of people that cry NERF EVERYTHING, simply because they don't want to grind to unlock or too "good" to pay into the system.


    I for one look forward very much to the new lockboxes, and can't wait to get my hand on some OP Dominion Tech.

    Passing on this box, nothing in it that I really want. Pre-season 7 I would have gladly taken the Federation Bio-Neural Warhead, but the Romulan and Borg torps rendered that moot in my mind. And I don't feel like grinding out 150 lobi to get a single upgrade of the Jemhadar ground set.

    As for restricting the JAS Hangar Pet to characters that have a bugship already, that's a baaaad move. Because seriously, who specs for a Bugship AND a carrier at the same time?

    Personally i'll most likely pick it up from the exchange (providing the price is right) simply because, although i have both Omega and Romulan torpedoes, i like a little variation in the sets i carry on my ships.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    ...will allow this ship to launch a wing of Jem?Hadar Attack Ships... only if you have obtained the Jem?Hadar Attack Ship through a prior promotional event.

    In the article I noticed this line. Does that mean that only people who received this ship by chance rather through the exchange can receive the hanger pet if they wanted it?

    yeah i just saw that a moment ago :( im kinda dissapointed

    Same, although its probably a good thing for me. I only have 300 lobi, and I need the MK XII set, though I really want that fighter.

    I think it just means you need to have the Bug ship...

    I would agree but unfortunately wording is always an issue.

    Much the same as last year's lockbox, post-wise :D

    Those who want it for various reasons, those who won't for other reasons, those are claiming PvP is dead before stats have been said... the usual. Surprising lack of 'Another lockbox' posts though :P

    Stuff looks good, seriously. Not entirely my thing, but looks good :) My two cents, for what it's worth

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    It looks like you guys spent a lot of time over this new lock box.

    It all sounds very good.

    by "equal" I meant easy obtainable in game by every player.It doesnt matter if me or you can get the paid stuffs if my opponent doesnt have them and has no way to get them other than spedding money or grinding 300000 years for ec to get keys. Thats why most f2p game sell costumes and things that dont affect game ,but then again pvp is dead so no reason to beat a dead horse.

    The only way you can buy them is to buy them off the exchange. PWE makes no money through exchange sales.

    Nice lock box contents!

    Things I am looking forward to are ...
    - New material for my Jem?Hadar Attack Ship! Hooray!
    - Jem?Hadar Equipment Upgrade Pack for my Space Set :D
    - Lobi store trinkets

    Very keen to see whether this will upgrade my gear on par with my Fleet Tac Escort.

    Uuugh, I was excited for a Dominion lockbox, but...

    Come ON! Enough with the damn carriers and carrier escorts! There are other ship types, you know!

    Yes they do, buy a master key and sell it on the exchange for 1.5 mil. Cryptic just made $1.25.

    If there are any persons willing to trade their Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier (when they get it) for 1x Galor, 10 million ec, 10x KDF Cannon Doffs (worth 16 - 20 mil each on exchange) and more!

    Please remember me and pm. I've been waiting for this day, and will sell the kitchen sink if I must! I am a Ketracell fiend!

    My question: will you guys add the new Dominion ships to the enemy mobs and the Foundry?

    One thing I noticed that I kinda don't like.
    Where's the kar'tarkin, guys?
    Plus, yay, full sets of phased polaron weapons and stuff.

    Details about the new Dominion Lock Box are revealed in entry #30 of the Season 7 News Dev Blog series.


    Link to the blog.

    i hate you. seriously.

    yeah dont kill the messenger and all that bs but i hate you.

    Dominion LockBox? Nope, this is a PvP LockBox.

    More useless junk, the cross-faction console is junk, mirror voquv will probably be useless, and everyonewith either a sugar mommy or daddy will have Mk XII Jem Space sets.

    GG Crypric, you just killed your attempts to revive PvP.

    crazy thing is, nothing here is what pvp'rs have aaked for. its actually the complete opposite of what the pvp community has been asking for.

    what the hell crypitc? you tell us pvp is important, is considered, is beign worked on. yet you release this kind of TRIBBLE?

    i swear...

    I was planning on getting the Odyssey Pack, guess I'll have to get some keys too while at it and maybe get lucky. :)

    Only thing I'm probally not going to like is the amount of grinding required to get as many of these I will want to have. Other than that its a great lockbox just the lockbox system does not cater to those who have a lot of characters.

    Meh, just another nail in the coffin surrounding the Lobi store. It is indeed the "new" cstore, no wonder nothing much of value gets put in the old correct cstore these days.

    I guess you guys at Cryptic just don't want either my money or the many thousands of zen I have doing nothing....

    Alien ships and ships from future timelines don't go in the C store how are players not getting that by now.

    The stats are not even out and people are already complaining about it being OP and it's going to kill an already unsupported PVP.

    If you're a horrible player no lockbox ship or anything is going to make you good.:D

    Yes. If you currently own (whether you got it from the exchange, winter package, a DOFF pack promotion, etc.) the attack ship and the dreadnought, you can obtain attack ship hangar pets.

    Although, yeah technically you are correct :P

    One can hope, but the Foundry Dominion ships don't even include the Dominion Battlecruiser. :(


    This is probably just an oversight, and adding the updated models might spur some movement on this. It's possible that the new Dreadnought has too much detail for an NPC enemy, but I hope not, as it looks pretty awesome. :)
    Take a look at my Foundry missions!
