Faction EV Suits in Undiscovered Lockbox?

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Although the blog announcing the Undiscovered Lockbox shows a photo and description of Experimental Environmental Suit (c. 2293) here -
https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10361233-the-undiscovered-lockbox

The actual Wiki page does not list them among the things in the box. that is here -
http://sto.gamepedia.com/Undiscovered_Lock_Box

And they are not shown anywhere on the Enviornmental Suit page here -
http://sto.gamepedia.com/Environmental_Suit

There is also no mention of the new Federation Lobi suit on the main EV Suit page. And apparently no Romulan or KDF versions of that super suit.

So -
Do the new lockbox suits exist?
What are the Stats?

If it is just a costume, well I still can't find them, and the announcement blog specified a new special ability ability.

If the new suits are not in the box, why is there NO mention of the reason for their delay / exclusion anywhere that an hour plus of searching can find?

If they are in the box, are they character bound on acquire? I certainly could not find them on the exchange anywhere either.

I realize that EV Suits are a Who Cares item for most everyone, but I wanted something different for a couple of specific alts.

If this has been asked and answered before, well Part of that hour plus of searching for info included searching this forum with many different key words.

    Did you look in the Lobi store?

    As I mentioned there is one new 200 Lobi super suit. It is labeled specifically as a Starfleet suit. If it is useable by other Factions that is not noted. If it is the item in the blog for the Lockbox, it would have been helpful if the blog had stated that it was a LOBI Item not in the lockbox, and usable by all Factions, not just Starfleet as the name suggests.

    It displays as Romulan Experimental Environmental Suit (c 2293) on my kdfrom. So it only displays the EV suit your faction can use (Which makes sense, what point is there in displaying the suit if you can't use it?).

    The blog says, "Captains looking for a new Environmental Suit may make use of their faction’s Experimental Environmental Suit (c. 2293)." THEIR. That's pretty straight forward indicative, not to mention the different suits in the picture, that the EV suit is Faction specific. A FED character won't see the KDF or ROM EV suits in the Lobi Store, because they're Faction exclusive. Just like a FED can't see the Korath uniform, but rather the Wells uniform in the Lobi Store. I'll grant you that the blog didn't specify that the EV suit is available in the Lobi Store, but typically all Lock Box related costumes and armors are acquired there. You seem to be new here, so we won't hold it against you for not knowing.

    Thanks all!

    If I had been on any other non-Fed alt in the last few days would have seen that.

    Sloppy blogs the norm in this game. Should have realized.

    Got one for 2nd main and will get the other for main tomorrow.

    I love it. Made the Federation one I have Epic XIV. Good stats for an Environmental Suit and very effective in Combat.

    The Environment protection part only (as in the Underground Caves on New Romulus). Otherwise all the stats apply like any other Combat Armor under all circumstances.

    It's a single suit in the box. There is only one design (Fed) but the other factions get palette-swapped versions.
