    I know right!? They're so damn pretty!!!

    I'm calling it now!

    Raider as grand prize and Quas cruiser in the Lobi Store. It'll be the first time we get a Raider from a lockbox and I'm ready! (I mean a real raider not that Kazon POS)

    Blue Antiproton, so pretty I want a full set!

    Ships come equipped with wide-angle Antiproton torpedo... In blue!

    Starship traits have something to do with gateways and ramming people.

    Quas flight deck cruiser with a hanger of Iconian Viral Probes, science oriented cruiser.

    Never ever. It would be like shooting oneself in the leg. All those talks about unstoppable power of the Iconians, millions of year old, with technology beyond our comprehension. And then giving as a lockbox of their ships. What is next, a Herald bridge officer.

    Do not do it Cryptic, simply don't...

    It's going to happen, and you know it...

    The Heralds are NOT the Iconians so your argument pretty much doesn't work, the Heralds are another Servitor race of the Iconians like the Elachi they are the personal servants of the Iconians.

    And to be honest I find that the power of the Iconians to be somewhat exaggerated, if they were so powerful their Empire wouldn't have been destroyed by Orbital bombardment in the first place.

    A herald Lockbox is inevitable, and when it is out no doubt people will cry DOOOM.

    I don't care about the ships but the weapons they use are beautiful and the sound effects are nice too.

    Heralds are not the Iconians (or they are sub-species of Iconians) but they are undoubtedly ancient and powerful. So this would be good point to draw the line, and not make Herald and Iconian lockbox. The empire was indeed a powerful one, but if I understood correctly, their power and behavior to other (for them) sub-races, was a reason why ultimately an Alliance was built that destroyed the Iconian empire. So it sounds quite a logical way of events.

    They are undoubtedly the same cannon fodder as every other enemy in the game.

    And the Iconians would be too, if they dared appear outside cutscenes.

    But they still aren't the Iconians, from a Tactical perspective considering we can match their vessels in fire-power it proves that they aren't as powerful as the Iconians are perceived to be,
    I feel that the "Mystrery" of the Iconians made them seem more powerful then they actually are or else this war would have been over in the first 5 minutes.

    We already know how this is going to work:

    "Player: Don't do the thing!
    Geko: I'm going to do the thing (and the players will love it)!
    PvE Player: Why the hell did you do the thing?
    Tester Player: I thought we told you not to do the thing!
    PWE: We volunteer to help do the thing!
    Chekov: The thing was inwented in Russia!"

    Herald Lockbox is coming when the war ends post Season 10. They'll claim it as spoils of war the Lobi Crystal Consortium picked up. The Batim Raider (pilot) and Quas Cruiser (intel) will be up for grabs, as well as the blue AP weapons. The staves the Herald's use will be in the Lobi store (with new animations!), as well as a variant of their outfits. New kit modules based on abilities the Herald's use on the ground.

    Just the typical stuff you'd expect from a lockbox. It's definitely coming. It's already in demand. It's even being worked on as we speak. :P

    As much as I'd like it, that would be like having a Voth Citadel class or B'Ger size ship impossible for some maps even to handle. :P

    Indeed. Do you know how stupid it would be if they had Undine Bioships in a lockbox?

    "Hey, why is your ship in drydock?"

    "It caught a Riselian Flu. Damn thing is being fed 2,000 gallons of chicken soup."

    I would go for ground weapons. Only thing I usually buy from the lockboxes.
