Thinking about returning

easytiger79

Hi,

So I left shortly before Romulans expansion. One thing that really put me off was the lockboxes and the fact that great ships & items weren't available because I can't pay hundreds/thousands of dollars. Can anyone describe if this is still the case?

Has the game improved much?

It has improved in many ways.
Ignore the Lockboxes. You don't need them, you won't win and you will waste your money, and if you do it will break your immersion anyways.

Lockboxes are a personal choice, pay to open then, or ignore them. STO has changed BIG time, we now have a new Rep system, new foe - The Voth (Distant Origins - Voyager), new combat zone (The Dyson Sphere), new ships. At the end of this month is the release of Season 8.5, The Klingon War episodes for FEDS have all be totally remastered, the episode War is good for business is however being removed. We have the 4 anniversary coming up with anniversary ships, and the expansion of the Dyson Sphere story arc with a yet to be announced VO from Voyager. Michael Dorn now voices Worf.

I know I have still missed out loads, but there is a whole lot of new stuff I think you will enjoy.

You're better off selling the keys you would have used to open the boxes to save for a ship really. Has the game improved, yes I'd say so, but it depends on the person of course. Log in, try the new content and see how you feel I guess.

It never hurts to revisit, I say play a little and decided for yourself if you want to return more or not. Lockboxes are still in game yes, but they are irrelevant.
