Traits in lock boxes that is all the proof you need they are getting more greedy. Traits should not be in lock boxes.
I understand wanting to make money but they crossed the line for being reasonable thanks to adding traits to lock boxes. What other unreasonable things will be added to lock boxes in the future?
Helmsman is the only really useful trait from the lock boxes. OP ships have been lockbox exclusive for a while. Jem'Hadar ship (special Christmas lockbox that you could buy from C-Store) was the ONLY ship with 5 Tac consoles before fleet ships. If that isn't unreasonable I don't know what is.
IMO an ALTERNATIVE to the D'D should be offered in the form of a Romulan Science Vessel. Slightly less powerful than an escort bu still has a pretty decent turn rate. Throw in a Z-Store +1 version with a console + a T5 retrofit with another console for a 2-set bonus (and make it available for vet tokens) and you kill 2 birds with 1 stone. The people who don't like the D'D get a more maneuverable ship and RRF gets a proper science vessels with +1 consoles (Ha'Nom is annoying).
The big D sucks for DPS / movement but it tanks like a rhino if properly configured. Play to its strength and maybe add an RCS console. The other options are either 1) grid dilithium for allied ship or 2) part with some cash. Seems fair to me.
Personally, I like flying the big D because it is so iconic ... especially for a TNG / DS9 fan. I liked flying the Galaxy also even though it sucked even more. It is also only 10 levels. Hang in there, the level 40 ships are awesome ... at least on paper.
The free T5 Ha'apax is basically a T5 D'D. Ha'nom and Ha'feh are faster and more maneuverable, but... wow... commander and LtC Engs.... this says one thing to me.... Tank like there's no tomorrow! Which Ha'apax does quite well.
You didn't properly read/understand my post. Yes there is the Ha'Nom at 40, what there isn't is a VA Z-Store science vessel. What I suggested was throwing in a level 30 and 50 science vessel with Z-Store consoles that give a bonus. Also getting a level 50 Z-Stor version gives you a fleet module discount off a fleet version
