I just wanted to say about the Year Of Hell Lockbox...

...I adore the sound of it! Years ago, I banged on about bringing the Krenim into the gave (maybe the DEV's owe me a little thanks ;-)) and this is the first thing in a long time that has made me excited about the game again. It sounds like great fun and I know that we're getting suckered into three new ships, but they do sound so much more exciting.

Oh, but for "Insane Janeway" to appear out of a parallel timeline though...

    Year of Hell.

    Edit: Interesting, it seems we can use hell again.

    Also, I'd rather have got the Mawasi ship than the Zahl, it looks reasonably Klingon. ​​

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Are you kidding me!?! KDF and Rom's are getting access to Reciprocity for peanuts compared to what I paid! This is the whole reason they're doing it because KDF players bitched about not having it! You guys are unbelievable...

    Agreed. Reciprosity is one of the more desirable Fed ship traits right now. And now the KDF is going to have access to it.

    Rep is good ill admit but its not as good as overwhelming force. As most kdf ships dont have as high def as a lot fed ships so rep isnt as effective. Also could you link posts where kdf complained about not getting it? As i read the kdf posts all the time and never saw even 1.

  • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 59,174 Community Moderator
    Um... considering the uproar over the number of ship traits Feds have over KDF from the start of Delta Rising... trust me... there was KDF rage.

    KDF players got a GOOD reason to TRIBBLE you know. Newest ship... T6 Excelsior ANOTHER FED ship! Make a comparison to what the KDF has vs the Fed goodies and you'll see we've got a good right to TRIBBLE!

    Lol, if i dont see the time ship as a playable ship (was hoping to give one of my kdfs finally a decent science ship), i dont care at all about the krenim lockbox.. nothing different from the other dozens of lockboxes. That ship was the only thing i was hoping for lol. Who care about more traits (i really dont have space to put more anyways) or more special doffs or watever at this point.. lol.

    I said it a few times, they should remove the kdf and rommies and keep only starfleet. We are reaching a point it doesnt matter anymore if you fly a klingon or rommie. Just pick starfleet and you have everything the kdf and rommies have. I dont think we are too far from that. If cryptic keeps only starfleet, they can use more time to release even more things..

    Actually no. They literally can't remove KDF because it would require basically rebuilding the game from the ground up, and divert resources for EVERYTHING for who knows how long to do it. Short version, why keep this game going at all if you want a brand new Fed only game?

    While it is true the Federation gets more attention, that is due to the fact that Star Trek is itself Fed Centric. There is no Klingon or Romulan centric series. It was all done from the POV of the Federation. While there were instances where we saw the cultures of other worlds and governments, it was still primarily a Fed centric series. Naturally there would be a lot more material to work with.

    And if you haven't noticed, they have been releasing more Klingon and Romulan ships lately.

    I agree with you. When they ditched the old exec producer they started giving the other factions some love which was quite nice. But anyways I don't play Fed simply because this game doesnt really portray feds like we all came to know in the series'. Feds in this game shoot first and ask questions later. The whole bit behind all and I do mean all the series was exploration, diplomacy, and only shooting when they had NO other option.

    I know lol, i know that will never happen. It was just an hipotetic case.

    Yes, star trek is fed centry, but star trek will be nothing without klingons and romulans. And starfleet will be no starfleet without klingons and romulans in their story. So, the only thing im asking is to keep every faction unique, with their cons and pros, but that feeling is disappearing month after month.

    this pretty much sums up why the game gets the fed loving

    I'd rather see a temporal box return with T6 ships...not very enticing this time around. Looks as it was rushed. Its missing ground weapons as well as R&D school DOFFs. However, not as bad as the other ones I guess.​​

  • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 59,174 Community Moderator
    I think they chose not to put in ground weapons this time around. Being able to pick cannon or beam based is a nice touch though. Probably should wait for the more detailed DevBlog before calling a lockbox rushed. This was just the brief overview of what we can expect.

    Wait for it, I bet they make it the doff pack prize so we have to put down 200mil EC for it.

    Overwhelming force is worthless... There are a dozen other traits I'd rather use. Reciprocity is the best trait in the game along with AHOD.

    P.S. KDF and Romulan ships almost always have more speed and defense then their Fed counterparts. You are either illiterate or really stupid.

    Usually when someone resorts to that type of stuff they usually have no clue what they are talking about.

    Isegn try owf with the Torpedo Barrage(Sheshar) trait and Superweapon Ingenuity(Ateleth) trait with max part gens. Then you will realize how you have no clue how powerfull owf is.

    I think the name of this lock box is perfectly selected nearly one year after the release of Delta Rising.

    Glad the remaining peeps at Cryptic and PvE haven’t lost their sense of humour.

    Mine is running out a bit.

    And FEDs got Plasmonic leech years ago. Where is the problem? Feds (as much as I like to play UFP) seriously have an entitlement problem. But then again, so have the 17%-population group named KDF.
    It was bound to happen that traits would be cross-faction.

    If it costs $100 worth of junk to make it work then it isn't worth it. Reciprocity is still better so stop your moaning, it doesn't bother me and I play mostly FED. Faction uniqueness is good so long as it doesn't involve incredibly overpowered items. Plasmonic Leech and Reciprocity fall under that category and therefore it's a good thing they are now cross faction.

    I don't have a problem, he was bitching and moaning about Fed's getting access to a KDF trait and I was pointing the irony since they are getting access to Reciprocity for free. Which they've been asking for months.
