Had a galor on the 4th or so box I ever opened. Nothing since.
Technically you also got the orb weaver too. Or did I open it? Either way, the key was off your klingon.
For the record, I was lucky enough to get the hirogen heavy hunter on the 11th box (I usually open 20 of the 'new' boxes for fun). Did get a voth bastion over the christmas period too.

I've had several lucky boxes, I find that opening them when a box or pack is popular increases your chances of a good drop since if its group luck (which im almost sure it is) you have to wait till people are opening boxes like the first few days and you will get something good. I got the new hirogen ship without even realizing it.
Like others have said Lockboxes are good for lobi if you want a ship sell keys and save up at least then your guaranteed.

No Drama, No Fuss, Just good old fashioned pew pew!
Seriously I opened over 50 of them, got a metric f**k ton of Doffs but no Ships!
What should I do? Open 50 more and than have enough lobi crystals to finaly buy that Tal Shiar ship?
Ok, sorry everyone just needed ti get that out of my system. :P
I am sure you have heard it but one way to define insanity is to keep doing the same thing expecting different results. Oh, you might get lucky, but if the chance to win is 1% .... then *every time* you open one, you have a 99% chance to not get a ship.
So, yes, my take on boxes is to open them for lobi, and anything else you get is a bonus. Expect anything else, you will be disappointed.
I get pretty lucky from time to time. My lifetime total drops from lockboxes (I estimate I've spent under a hundred on keys, mostly its converting dil when there's a key sale)

It is never worth it to open boxes with the goal of getting the ships. If you're bored and could use some lobi and other goodies that commonly drop from boxes, then sure. Getting a ship is a nice, but very rare bonus.

I'll just rephrase this a little differently, Does anyone actually win the state lottery by buying a ticket? Or do they finally just save up all that money and realize they have it in their bank now? It's called gambling. Yes you can win the ship and people do, but your chances of actually doing so are not that high...

I have opened them from time to time, probably somewhere in the 100s, never got a ship. I don't bother with lockboxes or buying keys anymore. Last time I opened 50 and the consolation prizes were all junk too, I hardly got any mining claims and most were the junk claims. I have a JHAS, every fleet ship I want, a Korath bought from the exchange, and all the other special event ships so I am not going to gamble or stress over lock box ships anymore.
Only ever got two lockbox ships ever, after opening dozens and dozens.
Never actually wanted either of the ships I got, but was delighted with them either way.
Still haven't got the one lockbox ship I actually have wanted this whole time.
Enh.

Your time.
Your money.
If you choose to gamble, this is what may happen
> you don't win the grand prize in the end.
Surprise over.
