It is going to be interesting on what the Next new LB will be, this thread is just the start of theories. I'm going out on a limb here and say that ether Dyson and Iconian Lock box will be next or after the next ones.
Ummm... We already know that it's the REDACTED Lockbox.

The Doffing UI ain't even ready for player testing, that's how bad a shape it's in.
Once more, you're rushing something to release way to soon...
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
That [redacted] ships are very very nice. Moreover, it would have been nice for at least one episode with [redacted], i liked ENT tv show much more than VOY and whole delta quadrant with dinos and tripods , it would certainly enhance marketability of lock -box , but probably I'd wanted too much.
It's...like Wal-Mart and Falcon each and every time...
Btw. off topic, i'm glad you keep the same signature (for now) as I can't keep tack with all your new avatars. You change yours like twice a day recenty, no?

Can't find one that I'm happy with...meh. This is the emblem for my fleet.
Maybe there will be a nifty avatar in the new lockbox.
I'll be interested to see what the new carrier and its not-so-little friends are like, but I am definitely going to hunt down one of the new Mirror [REDACTED] Light Warbirds for the skin. I know I am not the only one wanting to give that ship the MU stealth treatment.

Pitty it's not the REDACTED Warbird Battle Cruiser... I so want that black hull material on my Fleet variant... Guess I'll have to wait for EX2 for that.

I strongly suspect that there will be larger ship skins aplenty coming around mid-October.
Personally I was hoping that they wouldn't be releasing an expansion smack dab in the middle of the busiest shopping season of the year (and the month that every AAA title is shipping), but what's done is done. The May/June release of the last expansion was great because there was so much expendable income that time of year. October/November, I bet they don't sell as many big packs this time around.
I speak for quite a few people when I say that the lockboxes are not worth the storage space they occupy. Out of the last 50 or more lockboxes, I have only gotten 2 ships. The rest were doffs or junk I ended up selling for EC.
When running these last chances, give the ships a higher drop rate for the price of the keys.
What needs to drop - and with some regularity - are KEYS.
People should be able to yank that one-armed-bandit if they want, but for the rest of us keys should be available as random drops (and with a frequency slightly more often than 'rare').

Never gonna happen key sales seem to be the major source of income for the game as sales are constant much more than ships for example.
Just convert some of your dilith to zen and buy a key or use energy credits, someone will be happen to sell to you and if it means the game gets new shinies and content to play with I'm a happy camper.
On another note is the ability to buy lockboxes and the special dilith romulan weapons removed forever or is that a wip? screen is from today.

You seem unfamiliar with how this game keeps the lights on, friend. Lockbox key sales are almost certainly the main reason we get to keep playing.

Lockboxes have been unavailable for quite a while, at least 6 months. You have to move them over from holo like the CStore stuff.
As for the Romulan weapons, since the new rep system went in, when you transfer a new toon over your character's rep features get stripped. You can keep the abilities and gear you have, but you have to re-grind through the tree to get the unlocks to get more. You can zip through the process via the rep packs on Drozana at least.

You got two ship from 50 boxes, and are COMPLAINING?

Dude , wake up. That is a lot of luck, you complain because of that??. You only needed 50 lockboxes? lol, i NEVER got a lobi ship in my life (just mirrors) and i opened maybe 300 lockboxes by now, probably more. And well, i dont complain.. because at least i never paid for a master key. But Yup, you are really unlucky... :P, maybe a ship every 4 or 5 lockboxes will be better (sarcasm).
If I see one more lockbox been dropped as loot, I'll report PWE/Cryptic to the European Commission for offering means of gambling towards minors.
Sounds like you need to move to another game, friend. Pretty much every F2P game has the equivalent of lockboxes now, so the pickings will be slim. I don't think WoW has them (yet) so you can always go there.

Romulan special dilith store only weapons actually these are what I was referring to as the only way at present to get a rare or very rare version is through the Dilithium store which has been removed from the tribble build, you can buy Mk IX common versions at New Romulus Command but these only come from the store and are different that Romulan-plasma from reputation.
So are they being added to crafting, made into random mission loot drops or are they just removed?
Because so far they just seem to be removed from what I've seen on tribble.

Oh, that! Yes, those are gone forever as of S9.5 - the dilith store will from here forward only contain unlock items like the andorian phasers and spiral wave disruptors. This is to make room for a market for those items in the crafting system.

Wow. Just...wow.
Ships have a 0.5% chance (or 1 in 200 basically) chance of dropping. And you got TWO ships out of 50? You have insane luck, my friend. Insane.
Lockboxes are designed to get the gullible to open a ton of them for a lot of real money because Cryptic knows they make a lot of money off of them. And they do. In all three of their games. Because again, gullible.
And if they had a higher drop chance at their 'end', nobody would be opening them EXCEPT AT the end of their 'availability'. Duh.
for the vets thats been here since STO started all vets over 1000 day should get ther lock boxes open with a special in game key for a limited time since we will not be given a life time membership even though we paid for it,BEING MONTHLY MEMBER FOR MORE THAN 3YRS:cool:
You make uniform unification to make STO more organization and Star Trek feel but yet you give us another 3rd faction lockbox ship which have nothing common with FED, KDF or ROM. Why those lockboxes must be 3rd faction? Why can't you make for example Vulcan/Nousican Lockbox? Lockbox rewards (ships) proper for specific faction, as it was with Temporal Lockbox. Or at least instead of another 'alien' ship (Xindi this time) make ships similar to Dyson Science Destroyers, proper faction design with 'alien' technology.
Okay, let me see if I get this right. They mention this is a free to play game, but they're offering up drops that can only be opened when you buy keys for zen, which you can get in exchange for real money or a hell of a lot of Dilithium (current 151:1, or 18875 dlilthium for just ONE key)
I guess I don't mind paying in a FREE game to open the newer boxes, but shouldnt we be able to open the older ones without keys by now? Or at least at a reduced price? If nothing else, introduce Legacy Keys at half price.

That does seem a bit high - more than 2 days of dill. For me, I know I could spend $500 or $1000 opening boxes and would get nothing. So I buy what I want on the exchange. Buy the discounted 10 pack and sell for like 27 million.

On the 17th I would guess, when the Summer Event is finally turned off.

I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
