    Drugs. Just kidding no the next lockbox will probably be vaadwaur and they dont seem to keen on the whole science aspect.

    Figure it will be the Vaadwaur Frigate (kind of like what happened with the S'golth coming in the second box after LoR) and Kazon Carrier (though, lol, that will probably be like the Raider and just a "Mirror"quivalent ship). I'm still confused by the inclusion of the Elachi pets on Geko's list. The Breen pets kind of make sense with regard to the upcoming Winter Event. Then again, we're likely also to see a new Promo DOFF pack with some Intel DOFFs and perhaps a ship in there, eh?

    Have to keep in mind that the next box isn't due until January. So yeah, we'll have the Winter Event - a Promo DOFF pack - the box - then the Anniversary and the follow-up Zen variants...as well as whatever Zen boats are dropped out along the way as well.

    edit: And hrmmm, just as an aside - when are they going to do the Fleet Guramba, Fleet Marauder, and Fleet D'Kyr - the only three T5 Zen boats without a Fleet-level variant.

    my guess is the vadwaur box will be 4th or 5th after DR, there's still a lot of delta allied and neutral ships to release in boxes. the hazari and benthan also have battleship class npc ships they could even release, cryptic has years of lock box content they could draw from. the Turei wont see their ship in a box, its just a modified voth designs, and they would never share anyway.

    my guess for the next box is a hierarchy sci ship and sci cruiser, sorta like the voth box but tier 6, and the kazon carrier

    for box 3, an Octanti ship, and the Kobali had a ship design too. the junker will be that kazon cruiser. sorta iffy on whether we will ever get these playable, if any don't get released, it will probably be these 2.

    Malon ships have potential cryptic could easily waste, if the right amount of effort is put into them, they could feature something similar to singularity powers, based on the theta radiation their core gives off. but they will probably in their fluff description say how they were retrofired with clean alpha quadrant cores. my guess for box 4. there's also the crazy APU that were featured in a single patrol mission, maybe their buckets will take over for kazon tier 5 junk once they run out of kazon ships.

    after all that, then the vuadwuar, in probably super op ships. that is, unless cryptic feels the pain of driving away players, and goes vuadwuar next, because their ships are the coolest in the delta quadrant.

    My predictions:

    Winter event - Sarr Theln Carrier
    What's Left Behind epilogue - Sheshar Dreadnought
    Vaadwaur Lockbox - Vaadwaur Assault Vessel
    Lobi store - Vaadwaur Artillery Vessel

    mission coming today, seems to concern elachi, sheshar dreadnought carrier as mission reward, better one as lobi purchase, ala obelisk carrier...i'm calling it right now

    EDIT: whoops, someone already beat me to it...oh well, i'm still calling it
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Yeah, that would kind of make sense in an odd why are there Elachi in my Vaadwaur/Kobali story...heh, that it would be akin to what was done with the Obelisk and Advanced Obelisk.

    Who knows, why would anyone buy keys anymore when right after you get a new lockbox or lobi ship they will release a new tier of ships that use boff abilities you can't use on your ship that costs 4 times the price or more.

    This is such a ripoff that old lockbox/lobi ships and JHAS and bulwark aren't automatically upgraded to t6 considering how much more expensive they are. If they aren't upgraded soon or intel abiltites nerfed I am going to go post on every site discussing MMO that we were scammed and robbed of our money. Its not a fcking joke these are $100 ships, $300 for the bug and these douchebag devs decide they aren't top tier end game ships now, this is complete bs.

    The devs never made a promise that your $300 toy would shine forever, muffin.

    of course they didn't, but that doesn't mean they should go ahead and make a $300 ship obsolete if they want to sell more or don't want people complaining of being scammed on other websites and telling people in their other games with lockboxes about this, which I am close to doing.

    It costs more then LTS, it is not unreasonable to expect it to be a lifetime top tier ship. This is just bad business

    Would take 32-38 days of farming Dil with 11 toons to buy a JHAS these days...less considering it wouldn't be the only source of revenue. Of course, somebody would have had to play the gambling game to have gotten it in the first place...and well, it's not like many haven't felt it's been outclassed for some time now anyway. Fleet Aquarius. :P

    Hows that Iphone 1 working for you.

    How about that 20 GB hard drive Ipod.

    Your windows 95 laptop ?

    Don't tell me all your 100s of DVDs didn't upgrade to Blu Rays... that's it bang your fists and never buy another movie again.

    In any MMO rule number 1... nothing you BUY is real. its all make belief pixels. They will let you keep those pixels till they close the server down. Still in order to make $ they need to keep selling you pixels... just like apple needs you to keep buying new TRIBBLE, and MS can't just tweak the OS they sold 2 years ago.

    Expecting them to keep upgrading lockbox ships till the end of the game simply because you spent money on them last year is crazy. (or lets be honest you earned fake currency in game and traded that to someone that spent $)

    MMOs evolve and they will always sell something better... cause the idea of you playing there game from now till the end of the server for free isn't really a great plan to present to their shareholders.
    Don't feel to bad you could be one of the clowns planning to play SC that has spent 1000s of dollars buying "life time" insured ships. If that game ever happens (which we all know I doubt) a year or so in those ships will be replaced cause new ships will be +++. Cause a MMO that lets you make a one time purchase is a lie. I always chuckle when lifetime sub people talk as if Cryptic owes them something... Sorry guys don't buy lifetime nothing or spend $ thinking things will last forever. No company ever ever ever remembers what you spent more then one quarter in the past. IN ANYTHING in life. Not just video games. I have seen companies TRIBBLE over other companies that have long histories together. What have you done for me lately. That is all that matters. If you spent 500 dollars last year on a life time and a ton of boxes or packs or something to score a ship or two.. don't matter its irrelevant. Cryptic has sales targets to hit.

    /end of wall sorry. :)
