It can indeed be changed (I asked the same question). According to Borty upthread, it also unlocks the Reptilian uniform for the player and their boffs, or you just stuff Commander Lizardbreath in a shiny new Oddy uniform.
Awesome! Thanks.
I just claimed him and put him in an Oddy uniform!
I'm currently looking into a discrepancy between Firefox and other browsers such as Chrome.
I have that issue but only on chrome. Everything loads normally on FF. In order to get anything on the arc site to load properly in chrome I have to pre-load it into firefox so it'll let my chrome browser interact with the site.
Loving the new Phased Biomatter weapons. Blue phasers with an AOE damage proc, nice!
"I'm not big on telepaths myself. I'm not big on guns either. But if everyone else has them, I want to make sure I can get my hands on the biggest one I can."
The Xindi lock box has some nice stuff in it, and the Federation/Klingons/Romulans using Xindi ships at least make more sense than using Undine ships.
I hated the Undine lock box since the idea of the Federation replacing living components of a ship by computer parts (ie assimilate the ship) seemed ridiculous, but I might actually open a few Xindi ones and try to get the carrier . Already got one of the Science kit modules, makes a nice addition to my Caitian Medic.
Also, I hope to see Xindi playable species eventually
I've got to say, most of this stuff provides access to a bunch of cool new toys, but...
•Federation players can choose: ◦Aceton Assimilator – OR – Sabotage Probe
•Klingon players can choose: ◦Enhanced Plasma Manifold – OR – Sabotage Probe
•Romulan players can choose: ◦Aceton Assimilator – OR – Enhanced Plasma Manifold
...are you even trying to sell that box to KDF players? I mean since you finally fixed the Enhanced Induction Coils...
Enhanced Induction Coils:
•No longer shares a cooldown with Batteries.
•Now effects Auxiliary subsystems in the same manner as existing Weapons/Engines bonuses.
•Now grants Immunity to Weapons, Engines and Aux offline for full duration.
•Now grants +10 Maximum Weapon, Engines and Aux power for full duration.
•Increased base power bonus from 33 to 50, and gains additional benefit from the Starship Batteries skill.
•Base duration reduced from 20 seconds to 15 seconds, but now gains more benefit from Starship Batteries skill.
Enhanced Induction Coils AND Enhanced Plasma Manifold:
•Boosts to max power do not stack with the passive bonuses supplied by Warp Cores.
...to be on par with the Enhanced Plasma Manifold (a good thing, since they are equivalents), we either have the Enhanced Induction Coil already or can pick it up for our entire account for 500 Zen. You'd have done far better including the Wide-Angle Quantum Torpedo like you did the Bio-neural Warhead a few boxes back...
The selection is: 1) sought-after console from a 1500 Zen ship, 2) middling console from a 2000 Zen ship, or 3) unneeded console from a 500 Zen ship. You can kind of tell which is worth using the box for, right?
[EDIT] Also, why are folks talking about the Valdore console in this box? It's the Dhael's console according to the Dev Blog...
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
Does the Ki'tang get 'Flanking' or 'Improved flanking'? I thought the latter was reserved for the reen Plesh Brek. Also it states in the blog as improved and +25%. Improved is +33% though. I guess the Ki'tang gets the regular flanking which is +25% damage, though.
Does the Mirror T'Varo keep the Enhanced Battle cloak, or just a battle cloak?
Reposting my previous questions, as the blog is still not clear (on the first one, at least).
See the whole quoted post for my opinion on the Xindi ships, short version: clearly OP.
I'll update the other one with more peektures shortly!
Thanks, now I'm waiting for the other blog to get pics.

I found a discrepancy in that FAQ. The cross-faction console information is not entirely accurate. Or the blog post is wrong.

Strange about the lockbox-lobi box setup, normally the DPS ship is the lockbox and the large ship (i.e., carrier) is the lobi ship. We'll see which one is most sought after.

After the leaks all the hype was around the carrier. My guess they swaped them.
I was super hyped today to get home and drop 800 lobi on my new carrier... It being in the box is a total buzz kill. Hopefully I'll be able to sell one of those silly escorts and get one.
Loving the new Lock Box, and the Bio Phasers have quickly become my second fave next to the Photonic Polarons. The one thing I have a gripe about the only thing. No new dual Pistols. I think i am in a minority on this weapon. But I love them. And right now the best i can use are the photonics. Please cryptic new dual ground weapons. A dual beam pistols could become pretty fun.
Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.
I personally smell a second Xindi lockbox here... With the only the Aquatics and Reptilians represented not the Arboreals, Insectoids, and Primates. So, maybe there will be a second lockbox with them all
"I am a travelor of both time and space to be where I have been"
The Carrier is going to be a torment for those that hate Carrier Spam. Picture it 4 Elite Xindi Frigates, using dispseral pattern alpha to drop dozens of Quantum mines, plus potentially the Xindi Weapons platform, and if one chooses to do so, getting the Sabotage Probes console.

Let's hope so, it does seem weird that they've only released Aquatic and Reptilian Doffs as well.

The Xindi Carrier, seems too awfully too overpowered. A Carrier, an Escort, two fighters........not sure what you guys were thinking.
The Mirror Saber, looks like buying the new Patrol Escort and Fleet Sabre was a mistake. This will be a good escort tanker for cheap. :rolleyes:
The BOFF looks really good.
Traits and kits are interesting, but they appear to be very similar to already existing traits.....
Agreed.
I would pay...2500 ZEN to unlock Xindi characters. At LEAST.
According to the Xindi delegate at the end of "Surface Tension", the Xindi are already members of the Federation. At least, in STO.
So long as it included the Insectoids! Damnit, some of us like our bugs. :mad:
Thank you.

I have been a developer since 1998. Will never happen. Just when you think they have a standard, someone fraks it up.

Whoops! >.>
Sabotage Probe Launcher is the correct console that is in the box. Any references to the other console are erroneous.
