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.

Interesting choice of words there Brandon.
Does this mean we should expect a change in the future?
Dominion Polaron is Phased polaron the only thing that changed was the text.
"In honor of the Dominion?s favored use of Phased-Polaron weaponry, a new Hybrid Weapon Pack containing this unique energy type will be available in the Dominion Lock Box. These weapons contain the special effects of both Phasers and Polarons, "
sounds like whats in the lock box and is pol/phas is going to be called Phased-Polaron. twhat we get from the featured episodes is now called dominion polaron and is pol/tet.

thus my headache
That makes no sense, I thought the cannons/ beam array from the 2800 mission series were phased polarons? Have they changed them in that series just so they could sell the phased versions in the Lobi store?
You know what? The bioneural sucks hard, plain and simple. Even compared to a regular plasma HY torp. It's between the HY2 and HY3 torp, but with a 1' CD and no regular trop in between. I'm waiting for Fed complaints about that weapon they thought it gave KDFs an edge over them. If only i could get a refund on that TRIBBLE...

No. It's meant as if you owned it at one time and discharged it (not sure why anyone would :eek:), you no longer "currently" own it -- this was to clarify any questions like, "What if I owned it in the past and discharged it?".

It's going to be awesome!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting to get new weapons for my toons - I think I will go for all phased polaron - 2 great procs in one weapon
Mk12 purples phased polaron accx3 - YES! BOOM BOOM as everything you have for defense and shields and engines etc etc etc goes bye bye - throw in some SNB - happy times for my sci toon finally!
But yo Klinks, I heard you want my HEC? Well, you got one.
Meanwhile, I dread facing a 5 attack bug team all loaded with these consoles. :eek:
But let's say I have 100M, which ship should I buy off the EC? I already have a HEC so I won't benefit as much from the JHE... But damn do I want that console.
"Last Engage! Magical Girl Origami-san" is in print! Now with three times more rainbows.
it is actually a armour look and since the KDF do not have the armour skins they really can't benefit from the cosmetic look
Would Jack Emmert and Dan Stahlinator care to remind us why KDF doesn't deserve to have armor skins?
Jack Emmert: "Starfleet and Klingon. ... So two factions, full PvE content." Al Rivera hates Klingons Star Trek Online: Agents of Jack Emmert All cloaks should be canon.
Trouble with Gorn chests, Nausicaan armor, Klingon shoulderpads and Orion bolts and loincloths clipping through.
Nevermind Fed kits will doubtlessly do that too. And it remains to be seen what the overlap will do to a toon in full mk XII MACO or Omega Force costume.
I read the article, and saw several mentions of the Attack Ship, is that also goign to be a prize in this box? Or is it just that stuff will work on the bug ship as well as the new stuff?
Also, could we get a bulleted list of whats in this box as well? Maybe appended to the end of the article?
Dominion Polaron is Phased polaron the only thing that changed was the text.
Not really...the old Phased Polaron which is now Dominion Polaron has the Polaron and Tetryon procs...the new upcoming Phased Polaron has Phaser and Polaron procs.
Can't have a honest conversation because of a white knight with power
Actually, Feds have had the Atrox(Go Kilrathi... err.. I mean Caitians...) for a while now.... Heh... actually feds still don't have a free carrier. KDF can get a Vo'Quv carrier simply by buying it at a shipyard. you can even use your Brigadier General ship token to get one.
Feds have had free dedicated science vessels for a while now. Klingons still don't have a free science vessel (BoPs do not count as they do not have the hull nor the shield bonus innate to science vessels). YOu can even use your Brigadier General ship token to get one. So you see, for everything you think you have been doing without for the past three years, the other side has done without more.
Jack Emmert: "Starfleet and Klingon. ... So two factions, full PvE content." Al Rivera hates Klingons Star Trek Online: Agents of Jack Emmert All cloaks should be canon.
KDF have HG and Omega set armor visuals, they dont have the plastic pajamas or kit visuals (even if Joined Trill apparently have then), if this is set same as STF gear visuals it will work on both factions.
Unless you are telling me with a strait face KDF lacks armor visuals on the Omega ground set.
The following excerpt is a direct quote from the blog post:
As an added cosmetic bonus, the upgraded version of the Jem?Hadar Personal Armor will now also come with a different default costume overlay that will more closely resemble the garb worn by Jem?Hadar soldiers. While not a true costume option, Federation players can display this cosmetic option simply by choosing the ?Show Visuals? option on their personal armor, with the item equipped. Most Federation Bridge Officers will also be able to display this unique armor overlay.
Do you see Klingon, KDF, or both factions in general mentioned in the previous paragraph?

- i see the Jem'Hadar Bug Ship NPC version still has not been updated to the Player Ship visuals since last year. could you please get that done, the low res NPC ship is really nothing fancy to look at, and if i have them as option for the fighter bay, they better look their best!

I agree... seems like PWE doesn't understand a lot of us have more than 1 character. Unless they change it to something like you are suggesting I'm pretty much going to do as I do in most cases is just discard the boxes(LTS players should have a function... auto discard of lockbox feature).
You mean the same console that can only be used on the Defiant-R and Galaxy-X?
Are you telling me with a strait face the bio-warhead is restricted to just one KDF ship?
You know what? if you people did not just exaggerate and lied all the time perhaps the "fed carebears" you oh so hate might actually agree with the fact the KDF have problems but its not you people event want that, you just want to be invincible in PvP and steamroll the "feds".
So logically you progressed from cloak to invincible in PVP? Perhaps you just don't know how to deal with one.

It's a shame they didn't add the JHAS to the list of possible ships from this box, it would have been fitting.
Adding it would also have helped bring down its price on the exchange. Since its initial retirement it has consistently remained the most expensive ship on the exchange, its 200,000,000+ EC price making it unobtainable for most, and infeasible for many.
The items being introduced into the game with this lock box will likely make it even more powerful (especially for those min-maxed for it) and its price will rise again, possibly hitting the exchange ceiling.
Also, could we get a bulleted list of whats in this box as well? Maybe appended to the end of the article?
If Cryptic follows previous form, we will get the complete listing of items in the coming days, they usually spread the information release out across several days; the announce, the grand prize info, the complete listing and FAQ. Borticus has already posted a list of the Dominion Duty Officers though.
Giving away what is essentially one of THE best torpedo weapons to the federation in return for nadeon detonator which is LITERALLY the most WORTHLESS console in the game?
Nadeon detonator triggers cooldown on other boff torpedo abilities... it doesnt do ANY bonus damage to ships. All it does is knockback which is utterly pointless to do if you could've instead fired a torp high yield or spread instead.
Very bad idea. Either buff the nadeon detonator or give the KDF something else.
TORPEDO POINT DEFENSE SYSTEM for example. One effective torpedo WEAPON for another.

Hi Brandon.
Am I correct in assuming that you have to have the Jem'Hadar attack ship and the new carrier on the same toon? I'm really hoping that's not the case.

A knockback you can train a BOFF for which has a shorter cooldown and doesn't trigger a CD for all skills.

Thanks.
That is the case.
As another added bonus for owners of a Jem?Hadar Attack Ship, there will now be a Hangar item available for use exclusively for the Jem?Hadar Dreadnought Carrier that will allow this ship to launch a wing of Jem?Hadar Attack Ships. Scaling quality levels of these items will be available for purchase from the Shipyard Store, Dilithium Store, or Fleet Store only if you have obtained the Jem?Hadar Attack Ship through a prior promotional event.
Am I correct in assuming that you have to have the Jem'Hadar attack ship and the new carrier on the same toon? I'm really hoping that's not the case.
Thanks.
Of curse that's what they mean! Everything is bound tot he toon you crack it on so you will need to have both on the same toon.
I am glad to see some more carriers and finally some MU escorts. How much DL will the special Attack Ship hangar cost in DL? I am going to assume it's going to be some sort of ridiculous price in comparison to any other carrier pets. Will we ever get cross-faction boxes that have carrier pets in them from the other side? Siphons for the Fed's and well... the Klingons get the shaft on that. :P
TORPEDO POINT DEFENSE SYSTEM for example. One effective torpedo WEAPON for another.
I highly doubt you will ever see the Torpedo Point Defence console in a lock box, same goes for all the other consoles that come on Tier 5 ships.
Most, if not all of these consoles are only usable on their respective Tier 5 ships, let alone cross-faction. When cryptic removed the Tier 1-4 universal console limitations, it was made clear then that special consoles that come on Tier 5 would remain exclusive to their ships, and due to the abilities/powers they grant its quite understandable.

the only thing i say looks out of place in these new lock boxes is the anteater , it just does not look very trek to me and looks like it should be in an ep of scooby do . so when are these going live again ?
