Enterprise style release. We could see Phase pistols and shuttle pods. But most of the ships themselves have come out now haven't they?
There's the enterprise era intrepid, as well as the Franklin potentially (I have my own theory that could make the Franklin JJ-verse only that I won't get into here, I've gone over it elsewhere on the forums in the past).
As a huge fan of enterprise, I would be far more disappointed if it was a box or promo ship than I was with the Connie, and at the same time I have a hard time believing it would be released that way instead of C-Store. Prior to the Temporal Connie, prime timeline faction specific ships were exclusive to the C-store (I'm excluding the future ships cause they are ... well ... from the future, so it made sense).
The Temporal Connie likely was a promo ship only because of its immense popularity and the incredible hype that has surrounded the prospect of such a ship since launch. The NX-01 has none of that. From what I can tell, it is one of the least popular "hero" ships, and the show itself was so unpopular that it was the first to be canceled since TOS. So, imho, I don't see why they would put it in a box or the lobi store rather than the C-Store, unless they are planning to move away from new C-Store releases altogether.
As for what I think the new lockbox could be, is it possible we could get a Lukari box to go with the anniversary ship? With its own 3 piece set (anniversary, lockbox, and lobi ship consoles)?

That may very well be what happens, we could get a basic version of the Lukari ship for the anniversary much like the Odyssey Star Cruiser, then later on a 3 pc set shows up in the cstore or a box.
i no longer think any good T^s will be put in the c-store , the best ships will be placed in lock boxes or R&D packs, money grabbing is the name of cryptics game now.
Yes, because things like the Paladin, Scimitar, and Eternal are absolutely unusable under any circumstance. If you try going into a PVE with a c-store/fleet ship, you will be utterly outclassed by everyone who ponied up for a lock box or promo ship regardless of whether or not they have built their ship well. Cryptic is so mean and cruel that never again can we expect to play the game if we don't shovel large heaps of money their way.
Oh, wait I had the tinfoil hat on. Here's to another year with minimal investment, no active lock box/promo ships, and plenty of first place finishes.
i dont care what box it is but it better have t6 tal shiar ships in it
I would guess those will be handled like previous T5 lock box revamps (first seen on the consoles, then handed over to the PC.) IE. infinity box updates.

The NX Refit could be a lockbox ship come to think of it... it could possobly fit as a crossfaction Mirror Universe vessel....
Hey, could give KDF a high tier K'tanco, that era's Klingon ship, I would personally love that. Romulans, oh wait already a T6 T'Varo... Give the Romulans a D7 with a Singularity Core and Romulan Battle Cloak.
Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

Maybe the nx refit will be the next utterly random "loyalty" reward. 50 people get them for who the hell knows why. Wouldn't that be just thrilling?
I've got to agree, NX refit is too much of an oddball ship to predict the delivery method with absolute certainly, but I doubt it's going to be C-Store. It's seems too niche to me to be an R&D promo, so I'm guessing lockbox or lobe store because they won't want it to be common.
"I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am."
If we're going by existing sales models, the NX-refit would be a Federation-only Lobi store ship like the Vengeance. At which point the rest of the box contents could be almost anything.
Perversely, part of me is actually pleased that we didn't get 22C weapons in this box, as it means I'll just transplant over my upgraded-to-Epic Withering Disruptor arsenal from my existing Alita kitbash (IMO, the Terran Taskforce weapons are the closest visual match to phase cannons and photonic torpedoes).
The irony is now that I'll spend more on the MACO uniform I promised myself if they ever did the NX refit, than I actually will on the NX itself....

nice screenshot ;-D

Let's just hope they throw in a mirror skin for the hell of it.

And this is a ship I'd love to see in the c-store...

I've got enough ec saved up to get at least one if it goes lockbox/lobi, but I'd still be really disappointed cause I'd like it to be account wide
