    That's an opinion. The Grand Prize ships aren't as great, the Mirror ships are re-runs, the weapons aren't spectacular, and the DOff assignments aren't as great as the timey-wimey ones. The only really good things are a couple of the Traits and the Feds getting the Plasmonic Leech.

    Personally, I think the Temporal Lock Box was the best.

    Best selling perhaps. Only a portion of the content is desirable in my opinion.

    The leech, helmsman, and the command codes.

    Tal Shiar lock box is going away soon. You heard it here first.

    Next lock box is Pakled, Tacofangs said so...
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Awesome!!!

    Sure these rewards won't get nerfed in the next couple of weeks?

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Whatever the next lockbox is, I hope it contains more traits, possibly a fed/kdf equivalent to the valdore magic console, and more doff related content.

    I can only hope that they decide to add the ship Tacofangs was talking about. I would buy it even if it costs 2000 lobi.

    Adapted borg ships, bio-neural warheads , thalaron pulses, theta radiations , plasmonic leech
    Starfleet now looks like a company of mass murderers.
    Damn cryptic , that you can not create any new console what is more ST world?

    Swimsuits - banned
    Weapons of mass destruction and biological weapons- allowed

    Still i can not wear bortasqu uniform on my kdf romulan , but i can kill all enemy crew in seconds with my fed.

    Not banned, planned for next year. Near-humans (Humans, Vulcans, Romulans, Orions) already have most of the work done, but there were a few species (Stahl didn't say, but most likely Caitians and Ferasans, and possibly Trill and their spots) that have some kinks they didn't have worked out yet.

    I hope so. I mean, I like the Romulan content, however, I was hoping this was a post announcing the end date of tal-Shiar lock boxes...not a simple reminder of the same product. Dido to the comment about hoping more traits are available in new lock boxes to come down the road. Would also be nice to allow for an additional trait slot.

    Can you say MASTER KEY SALE PLEASE!!

    and new lock box - a absolute MUST - is to bring back the Purple doff rewards packs - the command codes are just lame.

    I just hope the next couple of lockboxes cycle some of the old special weapon types through again. Polarized Disruptors FTW.

    wait...isn't this the same box we already had?

    I swear I already got all these items from the current box which I thought where the Tal shiar boxes.....

    I am confused.....^_^;;

    Power without Perception is Spiritually useless and therefore of no true value.

    No blog is better than a rehashed blog IMO

    The rehashed ones always contain something along these replies

    "We've seen this before, give us something new"
    "This box* is rubbish, [Insert Name] box* was better"

    *replace box with ship if the rehashed blog is about a "featured" ship

    So now you buy additional traits via lock boxes

    three words: pay to win

    Can you buy the traits on the exchange?
    Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

    I hope STO get's better ...

    the command codes are just lame.

    The command codes were the best part of the box imho...enough Romulan marks to reach halfway through T4 before even hitting level 50? yes, please.

    Yes, but Helmsman is quite expensive.

    The only trait worth it is Helmsman

    +10% Turnrate
    -10 seconds off Evasive CD

    the rest are worthless IMO

    It's also under 16mil on the exchange, hardly pay to win.

    The rest are not worthless, they come with a Trait Respec! You'd normally have to fork out 20k dil to get that (or more in Zen for the bundle), this way you can get 3 free retraits for a few hundred thousand EC.

    Quite right, something I overlooked

    I should check to see how much those are going for :)

    I was down to my last million, so I bought a key thinking eh, could be worse. Then I opened it and got the helmsman trait, sold it and now it's funding my fleet d'deridex :)

    Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.
