Just wanted to put this out there -- if you are interested in getting these Traits directly from a Lockbox for a KDF / Kromulan toon , you MUST open those lockboxes with a KDF / Kromulan toon .
Opening these lockboxes with a Fed / Fromulan toon will not allow you to receive Reciprocity for KDF / Kromulan toons .
Yes , I know it's dumb .
Proof :

I want to clarify the cross-faction starship trait part if we could:
Does the person opening the lockbox itself set the faction of who can open the pack?
Or is there a box granted like 'starship cross-faction traits', and opening that box is when it picks the faction that it's going to grant traits for?

The Choice Pack given is determined by the faction of the character opening the Lock Box. If a FED opens the Lock Box, they will never have a chance of receiving the ROM or KDF choice boxes.

That would be extremely awesome.
I'm gonna be greedy and say not just for the recent box traits but generally all ship traits.
My Qib would really love the Reciprocity & Battle Ready combo.

It would also be honest and upfront. They don't have to pretend things are for one faction only when making it available via lockboxes. And then they could just be fair and offer traits in the store for 500 zen a piece. I know they don't want to do that because it's better having people buy tons of keys and gamble. But it would be the classy way.

Removing STOs biggest cash grab? Haven't you paid attention in what direction this game is beeing developed since Season 9.5???
The only thing that's going to happen is this: They reduce more and more content in their updates while heavily increasing the cash grabs and p2w until they will finally pull the plug in a couple of months.
A couple of months? Not surprising coming from someone with a sig like yours (Not to mention so old just about everyone has gotten over that lame joke)
More Lockboxes/P2W stuff AND more content updates.
I don't remember a time where Cryptic released new missions so continously. It seems to me there business model is working. ONe might find lockboxes unethical and money-grubbing and what not - but it's also leading to content releases.
When that changes like you describe, I'd see that as a sign that their money-making scheme is failing and the lockboxes and C-Store ships don't make them enough money anymore to keep making content.
im lmao

Or ... the OP (me) spots something that works differently than the previous Lockbox items (consoles) and tries to warn his fellow players before they make a mistake .
But I'm guessing that train of thought escaped your little self serving mind .
Heh , there's one post like this in every thread ... .
The outer lockbox knows if you're K or F, the inner reward box [sh|c]ould as well.
hes right though. this isnt the first reward pack like this. you probably never noticed before cos there was nothing worth opening kdf-side.
as much as it pains you, youre going to have to roll a kdf toon to open your boxes.

Oh come on! The Ionized Gas Sensor was well worth us giving up the Plasmonic Leech for it!

It was an AWESOME trade!
