when you open 75 to 80 lock boxes and get nothing of value then come talk to me. worth $75 to $80 and get nothing of value for that its borderline robbery. i dont care about the random chance factor when almost everyone i talk to who won the ship got it by opening less than 40 boxes. some one got the ship almost every minute when i played today. i should get some compensation.
Do you also think everyone who doesn't win the Powerball jackpot should "get some compensation"?
check out the your mail from time to time you get a message from some people that are selling EC, they are also selling that ship for 30 dollard if i remember, yea i took a look at it if you can trust them go get it:)
Seeing the spam of everyone elses name is not. I wish I could turn that damn messages off, but I digress. To the Op, stop gambling, you'll be better off for it.
If I remember correctly, you turn them off by turning off system fly-in messages.
i really dont understand the people who just don't by the ship from the exchange.
With a key worth 1.5mill ec, 60-70 keys worth of ec and the ship is yours. Then we can end these sob stories and actually talk about the ships performance...
Dead right, buy keys, sell on exchange, buy ships, easy,
I feel for you in your plight of getting a specific ship from a box. I have opened about 500-600 boxes or so, most paid for with cash and not EC and have gotten very little reward. I have gotten 1 ship and used the lobi to buy 3 others. My roommate has opened probably close to triple what I have and he has gotten I believe 4 ships out of it and has bought several lobi ship and currently has a supply nearly enough lobi to buy two more ships. It's an insane money pit any way you look at it.
It would be nice to have a system set in place that would still be random but each time you opened an box your chances of getting the best item from that box become one better. This way you would only have to open 250 boxes at the 1:250 ratio that has been set. This way you are going to get everything that box has to offer IF you purchase that many keys in order to open that many boxes.
This would still be the money pit that Cryptic likes and it would give the players a "better chance" at getting what they want. It would also keep people from getting the best item several times in a row which I have seen far too many times for my taste. It would be a more fair across the board to everyone.
I have seen so many of these posts evertime there is a new lockbox. And people always tell them the same thing. If you want a lockbox ship. Buy it. The amount of Zen you spent on key you could have just purchased the ship off of the exchange. BTW I have both the Tal Shiar ships are pretty lame compaired to a Scimitar or any of the fleet Warbirds.
Open boxes only for lobi. If you get something good, consider it a bonus. I buy 10 keys and open 10 boxes when each new box comes out. That's it. To open hundreds of boxes looking for that one ship is a suckers game. Sell the keys on the exchange, and buy the ship. Unless you are extremely lucky, that's the more efficient way to get a ship.
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

sorry but i have the tal shiar adapted cruiser and for me it's just an awesome ship,
the way a ship work for you is first how you spec your caracter, good spec that work for a specific ship wont be as good for a nother.
