Cardassian fans rejoice!

Even though I was also hoping for a cardassian set now that there are two ships, at least we got the big brother :) Now you have a proper STF Cardassian make-up. 1 Keldon and 4 Galor, or 2 Keldon and 3 Galor.

Jem'Hadar ships... standard flair. Don't get me wrong they are great. But I expected them to continue the trend so was not really surprised, lol. Theme-wise you have an awesome array to make up a 20 man STF: Dominion (minus cardassian vessels) vs KDF or the Crystalline Entity. Now that would be great to see. Someone should make a youtube ;)

While Mirror fans continue to wait for new T5 variants: *cough*Defiant-class*cough* and Intrepid-class. As well as one T6 variant: Odyssey-class. Basically the reskinned/re-bridged Odyssey Star Cruiser, the one that CAN'T equip the Odyssey set items. Which is kinda odd to me... why not allow it?

The first Belfast was commanded by Captain Ve'Kal Shon until its destruction in 2409. A new ship was commissioned bearing the same name and registry as special dispensation to then newly promoted Captain Edward XIII for his pivotal role during the renewed Dominion War.

    I'm not sure Cardassian fans will rejoice, it's one more ship they put into a lockbox and no playable faction in sight. :p

    100% guaranteed to come to PC at some point. Seems to be a fair bit of interest and desire on these forums and Reddit to have them for PC so Cr$ptic have opportunity to make money on both platforms

    Ah... true, lol. Personally I would have preferred a neutral faction that way it doesn't end up like the RRF where you have to choose. The Ferengi Alliance would have done nicely :)

    Its for console not PC.

    And where does it say that the Cardassian/Dominion Lockbox is only for consoles? The whole dev blog reads like it is the introductory dev blog on lockboxes for consoles and someone forgot to put up the PC version. The entire Cardassian/Dominion Lockbox dev blogs is messed up. Looking at the Xbox One and Playstation 4 web pages doesn't even show this dev blog and you have to look for it through the STO launcher or use google. The only piece of information that is available is the Ship Stats for the Xbox One page. So either someone was a bit too hasty in releasing the dev blogs for the Xbox One page and screwed up in linking the dev blog to the news page or someone forgot to add the dev blog to the Playstation 4 and PC news pages.

    You mean this section right here?
    The Cardassian-Dominion Lock Box will be available immediately upon the release of Star Trek Online on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Secure your chance at these rare prizes by purchasing a Master Key from the C-Store for 125 Zen, or a 10-pack for 1125 Zen - a 10% discount!

    Sorry, but that doesn't prove it is for consoles only. It only proves that it will be released when STO hits Xbox One and Playstation 4 not that it is only for the consoles. Unless Cryptic or PWE specifically states that this lockbox will not be available for PC users which seems like one of the stupidest business moves ever, then there is no proof one way or the other if PC users will get the lockbox.

    Of course it would be labelled as the console lock box if they are releasing it when consoles are launched. Devs have to be cryptic about certain things they say to make sure they don't get in trouble with Marketing. A console lock box won't get them in trouble with babbling about the lockbox while Cardassian/Dominion Lockbox will if Marketing is not ready for its release. It is extremely likely that the dev blog was accidentally released since it doesn't exist on the Xbox One or Playstation 4 news page and only available on the STO client.

    The only news available about the new lockbox is the Xbox One news page having a dev blog about the ship stats. There is no dev blog announcing the new lockbox on any of the news pages. There is only two ways to access the dev blog about the new lockbox, through the STO client that is only available to PC users and Google. Which gives credence to the theory that it wasn't ready to be released. If it was just for console users, then both dev blogs would be on the news page for Xbox One and Playstation 4 not having the second dev blog only being available for the Xbox One.

    They're really trying to get me to buy a PS4 and start a second account there -- the Andorian light escort for free, console exclusive (for now) Cardassian and Jem'Hadar ships. What next, Shatner voice acting only on consoles!?

    The Keldons stats look pretty sweet and so do the T6 Heavy Escort Carrier.

    The Keldon's stats are identical to the T5U Galor. Same for the Dominion ships.

    that box is for consoles only Im sure... however I think its safe to guess what will be added to the next infinity box besides the KT ships

    The Kelvin Box stuff should be 2 Infinity Boxes from now. The rest of the Na'kuhl stuff should be added though. I would also like to see the next Infinity Box replace the current Galor and Jem'Hadar Escort plus replace the JH Dread in the Lobi Store with T6 versions. We'll see what happens though.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Except that the Keldon has Lt/LTC Intel Seating and the Heavy Escort has Pilot seating attached to it.

    Dominion Coordination (Starship Trait)

    While this trait is slotted, activating Beam: Overload, Surgical Strikes and Cannon: Rapid Fire will provide an increase in damage to all nearby hangar pets. This buff does not stack.

    This would go great with my Flight Deck Raptor's Trait, cannon rapid fire would active both traits, increasing the buff they recieve.

    This.

    This lockbox pretty much means no Cardassian faction ever. Good I didn't wait for it, and already created my pseudo-Cardie.​​

    It sounds like it could be a console exclusive ships for now at least. Clearly a lot of people want these ships. This would entice people to move over to the console to get the ship if they really want to fly them. Doubt they'll bring it over anytime soon or at all.

    They're straight reskins of the T5U ones. I'm thinking if they did release them on PC a lot of people would complain that they're "forcing people to buy the same ship again" or something.

    It was confirmed in an interview with Borticus that these ships WILL be coming to pc also. considering how many people have waited for t6 versions of certain ships, do you really think they would purposefully slap all those people in the face. The box itself may be console only, however the ship will be coming.

    Even if these are for consoles as of now. I dont think they will be stupid to leave them there for long.

    As of now in consoles they have most of the usual PC T5 ships as T6 as incentive packs already. Sooner rather than later they will move the T6 cardis/Jem to PC if they want "money" from their larger audience. Another ploy to get players there...and what NOT free? Not sure who thought about this plan....​​
