I haven't played this game for years and when will be the next Phoenix lockbox?

I haven't played this game STO for years due to lack of content, and more emphasis on lockbox. Since I have been missing a lot on events, I heard Phoenix lockbox will have an opportunity people like me to obtain past events prizes like ships and stuff. May I know when will the next Phoenix event take place? Thank you!

    I assume you mean the phoenix prize pack:
    http://sto.gamepedia.com/Phoenix_Prize_Pack

    The event has only been here twice, but there was 3 months between the events so the best guess at this time is the first week of June 2017.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Yes, Phoenix prize pack. Okay, thank you for the info.

    yeah, I agree, late May early June is likely. Risa is now first week of June, so probably around then. I hope that they can add some new items then.

    We should have an infinity lockbox first right?

    You just missed Phoenix boxes too. If this season follows suit with every other season.. we will have infinity boxes beginning this week going through till the 25th when the new box drops with the season.

    Infinty box should be within the the next week i'd guess. New lockbox is normally added with new seasons and the infinty box precedes that by a week or so. New season is on the 25th April.

    What are the odds that the T6 Connie from the R&D pack will be there?

    Basically zero odds. That's for both Phoenix pack and Infinity box. As a current-tier promo pack ship, the T6 Constitution will probably only appear in an Infinity Promo pack deal in the future.

    Summer event probably

    I'd bet around first week of June. That's about when we'll hit 40 days after the new season, and those who are diligent will be reaping the dilithium rewards from completing the new reputation.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    This Thursday for new Infinity Lockbox most probably. No idea when the Infinity R&D Promotion. The last one already included the T6 TOS Constitution.

    You will never get it available in the Phoenix Prize Pack. The only possibility of that would be if they introduced T7 Ships and T6 became 'obsolete'. At that point it would probably be lights out for many anyway.

    I've also been away many yrs. but the lock-box's are just a money grab. I don't see point if gotta buy the key's to unlock them hence money grab. I should say have to pay real money to get zen to buy key's.

    Then don't buy keys. Players are not required to open lock boxes. While Cryptic may dangle lock boxes and other things from the C-Store in front of your face, you are not obligated to purchase them.

    I have a secondary STO account that is free to play only. No real money spent. The only things purchased from the C-Store are the EC Cap Remover and 300 Doff slots (100 slots for each of my 3 captains). They were purchased with Zen I got through the Dil Exchange so no real money spent. While my max level captains have all of the free T6 event ships since the 2016 Anniversary Event, they all still fly the free T5 ship selected at level 40.

    It is funny OP, the phoenix box is the reason I am in Vacation from STO. Glad it brought you back.

    Phoenix is a great way to lower the dil prices on the dil/zen exchange. so next time it gets 'too high' it'd probably come back. ;)
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
