Might actually go for this box ship. What do you guys think of the 2 ships?

    Prefer the Cardassian and Ferengi lockbox ships. There was absolutely no reason for me to go after them. Ever since the Tholian ships, they have constantly made me feel guilty every time I took out my credit card. The Elachi is another one that I won't prefer because it is another temptation that I could do without.

    I don't know there are no stats, but people will call them OP anyway.

    Don't care much for the ships (not that we have stats anyways, last I looked). Interested in the uni console and the disruptors though.

    it looks like a alright ship to me, but stats of course are not listed yet, but so far the ships like alright.

    Yeah, those disrupter weps look cool too, hope i get some.

    I plan to spend maybe 20.00 trying to get this ship. If fleet modules go back up to 7,500,000 Ec, I could buy 4 fleet modules, sell them at that price, and get around 22-24 keys off exhange im guessing. I know in the box world thats not a lot, but i did get the assim des. first box so...

    My guess is the ships will have Singularity drives and singularity powers, Tovan mentions the Elachi "singularity signature" in the Khitomer mission.

    I like the looks of the Elachi ships, personally. I really like that we're getting crescent wave disruptors as more than just a console ability. Overall I really like a lot of the stuff I'm seeing.

    First, three words: I knew it.

    Second, I have to admit, I've been wanting to get my hands on those crescent weapons since I first saw the Elachi using them. Looking forward to not only being able to, but being able to without needing to acquire any of the lockbox/lobi store ships. Very curious about the ships themselves too, though.

    Same as all the box ships for me. Way too expensive for what you get. Even less if you look at what the Elachi are.
    The only thing that looks a bit interesting are the crescent weapons. But I'm a bit unsure about how they will look when fired. They would be kind of cool with a broad emitter, but firing those crescents from a tiny dot seems a bit strange.

    I haven't spent a penny on gamble-box ships and im not going to start now. Id far rather buy an actual ship from the Z-store.

    I'm sorry, but am i the only one disappointed in this box? I think after we just got nanite disruptors we would get something else. ya the proc with the cresent weapons sounds nice, but i don't want it in disruptor tech. As far as the ships go they seem ok. I won't go for them because they seem useless to me but i understand why others might want them. over all the only things that i like from this are the new universal console and possibly this subspace torp.

    The crescent disrupter looks like a pvp toy. They sometimes get through shields so you'll probably need to bring their shield down anyway....ya I'm on the fence from a PvE stand point

    And the stats...i needs them

    The 2p consoles look just sad...more light show then boom

    The 3p may be a required set for any disruptor ship. At least 2 of the 3

    They went out of their way to avoid giving the Tal SHiar ships a singularity core...I doubt these will have them.

    I know others aren't exactly excited for them but I kinda like them...might be the first time I farm some boxes since the Tholian one.

    I''m going to start off this post with saying that I only play the PvE content in this game outside of an occasional Kerrat match (which I'm more focused on the Borg than the KDF).

    Since ship stats weren't listed I will withhold judgment on them.

    The console that comes with the first ship isn't appealing to me as a PvE player.
    The second console doesn't appeal to me either since I don't fly carriers.

    AFAIK the mirror universe ships that are included in this box aren't anything new.

    As far as their brand new console goes, I'd rather have the aceton assimilator. This new one doesn't appeal to me at all. If the gate is shooting at me, I can just move out of range.

    Neither of the ground traits sound good to me. Neither does the wing commander, again since I don't fly carriers. Inspirational leader might be good. I'll wait for others to test it out first then see if it is worth replacing what I already have.

    The doffs sound promising if they actually have useful active duty traits. I'll see if they're any good before picking a few up. Their passive active ability sounds useless since outside of Romulan episode missions you don't really fight them.

    Crescent weaponry sounds meh for PvE content as well. Sounds like it won't be as good as Elite Disruptor, Romulan Plasma, or Antiproton.

    The bonus pools are all recycled. The dilithium claims are recycled as well. Unfortunate to see that the dilithium claims are linked in with bonus pools. Also unfortunate to see that dilithium claims are still CBOP (character bound on pickup).

    The minipack cadres are recycled as well.

    Same amount of lobi as any other box.

    I'll withhold judgment on the new lobi set, however the only thing that jumps out at me is the bioneural infusion circuits console.

    The turrets and such sound like they will be one time usage things, so unless they are really good, likely won't be worth it.

    Pets: oh yeah, more pets that WE DON'T HAVE ANY STORAGE FOR.

    Isn't the battleship console essentially the same as the pirate call device?
    I used that one agaibst Elachi battleships and the Support ships behaved remarkably similar, wxcept the pirates have an escort in the mix, too.

    Shame that the escort is not a carrier, would love to have some of those shuttles. It makes sense that it should be an escort carrier, in the enterprise episode it launched shuttles out of that big hanger on the front. Also since the Elachi have such advanced subspace technology, their quantum slipstream drive, which travels through subspace should be decently better than the normal one.

    Elachi ships have been in the foundry list of playable ships for some time now.

    Doesn't seem that any of my weapons are gonna be replaced.
