As much as I lament the proliferation of lock boxes, this one looks very interesting! I'm thankful that Cryptic at least decided to make a T6 science ship available in the Lobi store, as my luck to date has been a bit disappointing in the lock box ship department...

We also have the tholian crystal sword for that, and the nanopulse weapons.

I'm definitely looking forward to popping 10 or 20 of these boxes open...

T6 Science vessel with Battle Cloak, you say? Very interesting, indeed.

captaind3

That Battlecruiser is dead sexy.

Once again a stellar outfit from the design team, straight into the G.D. Lobistore. Well thanks for making it mix and match with the others outfits at least.

Hmm. A Battle Cloak capable science vessel is pretty novel. Okay, the Romulan Ha'nom and the Dyson Destroyer can do this, too. But this will give a Tier 6 option to all factions - albeit a very costly one.

I'd prefer there being some regular C-Store faction ships, honestly.

The ships are goofy looking, there are 20 better lock box ships out there already. Another Science vessel?? I will stick with my Annorax. More plasma space weapons that apply DOT and a slow? That's original. I am sure a few people may like this stuff, but for me? No thanks.

Or you could just save EC's and buy what you want from the exchange. There will be plenty of people willing to give their money away while opening the gamble boxes.

Na'Khul. It's almost like not cool!
So this is 14th?

Another lock box to skip for me I miss the doffs that add to or change powers. Don't see anything useful in this box for my play styles.

the raider



looks suspiciously like that vasari show piece titan from soase rebellion.



kinda wondering if it was pure coincidence.

The tractor beam is interesting, but not worth using really. The lockbox in general is meh.

alcyoneserene

Battlecloaking science ship, raider, and ultra rare battlecruiser?

Now it feels like all existing ships won't have a chance against this. It's not only something specific to KDF and especially Rom factions, and C-store ships in general, but it's taking things 3 steps higher to what's been available before, and setting a new standard that practically walks all over the 'old'.

I think a wide wing-like shape is not that uncommon as starship visual. I think the general design inspiration are Manta Rays.

Warhammer 40K has something like that, too.


Manta Ray


Or the good old Starcraft 1 Guardian.



It's a cool shape.

All the ships look awesome, i'm especially grateful for another T6 crossfaction science vessel that's relatively affordable. Also looking forward to having doff packs again.

Not really interested in the ships, but that uniform looks cool!

Is it an account unlock or are they still per character and not worth the cost?

ltminns

Account unlock, hah hah, no. Single character only.

risian4

That uniform, does it come with those special masks? Cause I would definitely get that uniform just for the mask

Looks like a good lockbox overall. Not that interested in the ships, but that's because I already have way too many, the ships themselves look pretty awesome, just don't have any characters to use them on anymore.
The ground traits may be interesting for my tactical characters and the biotoxin module may be a nice addition for my melee Sci Caitian

And perhaps I'll get the warfare specialists, depending on their exact stats. The sword doesn't look that great to me.

Most of these things will be useful additions to my current characters.

Lot of very nimble ships in the future, it seems.

imperatorpaveli

lots of nimble ships with low hull, I'll personally keep to my Sarr Theln.

rattler2

Bout time we got a T6 Sci ship too.

Gonna have to make room in my bank for some new ground weapons.

A cloaking sci ship, time to slap some Romulan team colors on it.

Well, I am interested in getting the new Na'kuhl doffs.

After learning about the diabolical warfare being waged by their future descendants, some daring Na’kuhl from the 2410 timeline have decided to resist these efforts and enlist with the forces defending the galaxy and the Temporal Accords. These Na’kuhl Warfare Specialist Duty Officers possess unique Active Roster Abilities that will all occasionally restore your health (or hull) during combat. Each Warfare Specialist will grant this bonus from one of the following types of ability activation:
•Tactical Bridge Officer Abilities
•Engineering Bridge Officer Abilities
•Science Bridge Officer Abilities
•Kit Module Abilities
•Captain Abilities

Another box? Please FIX the numerous bugs in the game instead of filling in your pockets. PvE queus, PVP, adventure zones and Defera need of a revamp. Or make these boxes account wide for once.​​

Stuff that go in the boxes like the ships aren't designed by all the devs. Stuff that you mentioned like the Adventure zone (which Defera fits into by the way) would be something that the content designers work on.

Besides, they're not going to stop doing the boxes. PWE requires all their games come out with something to keep funds coming in for the game and Lock Boxes are one major way that we get access to alien ships (the others being the 3 events a year that we get a ship from or giveaways like the Groupees event).

I'm not really interested in having my Fed. Captains flying weird looking alien ships.
Thanks for the effort though.
This lockbox is one I'll definitely pass on.
(actually, the last few LB's didn't really have anything I wanted)

If They ever do a TOS themed one, I'd buy those.

questerius

Despite some interesting tricks and features the ships simply do not tickle my fancy.

The doffs could be interesting, but it is the modules which sound the most interesting for some variety on my science characters.

lordsteve1

Those ships look quite nice but what is with those horrible glowing white blobs where the engine exhausts are? They look like xmas decorations stuck to the end of the nacelles.
