WTF is the point of the top lock box in the set having the 2 most useless ships in the game as the only options, with the lower t6 ship box has all the best ships?
While i admit that the herald ship is not my cup of tea, the Archeros is pretty decent especially when playing federation and there are very few (battle)cloaking battlecruisers.
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.
The Herald Dread is where the cool Peak Efficiency trait comes from. I became to respect it quite a lot on my sci toons. If it stays at 90mil I check it out for my engineers as well.
Thanks all for opening those boxes and please keep up the supply for the exchange.

For a brief period, the idea of a lockbox grand-grand-prize was explored. These ships come from that tier of rarity. Usefulness of items has very little to do with rarity in this game, best not to try to equate them.
The Acheros is a prety decent ship for any player i'd say. It's a fast (the fastest cruiser?) moving BC with a built-in battlecloak and access to intel powers plus a good range of sci/eng/tac seating too. Only thing that maybe lets it down a tiny bit is the limit of 3 tac consoles which tends to put people off a tactical ship, but it's still quite capable.
And some people whine about the noise its engine makes but tbh once you are fighting you'll not notice that, and a lot of other engines and visual parts (Breen, Assimilated console etc) make just as much noise anyway.
For the 80-90M you pay for the ship its a pretty good amount of bang for your buck.
The only reason those ships are so cheap is because of the infinty box, they were some of the most valuable coveted ships in the game during their original heyday.
The more you know!
Absolutely!
I remember the Vonph being for the billionaires only when first dropped, now they are ten a penny.
The current low price is based on the low number of options available in that particular tier of choice box, combined with infinity's much higher average value of non-grand-grand-prize items when compared to the original lock boxes. If either of these two things were to change, a change in the market price would would be unavoidable.
They're cheap because they both have their hefty disadvantages.
Acheros isn't the prettiest ship and has only 3 tac consoles and a mid-low tac option where the Intel powers are also thrown in, which makes it a bit underpar. Trait-wise isn't stelar.
The herald ship turns very slow and requires some really skilled boff slotting to make you pull some results out of it. Trait-wise isn't stelar either.

The point is they are lockbox ships from earlier lockbox events.

Don't like it? Then quit. No one is going to miss you.
Why are you telling someone to quit the game while they only not like just one minor thing about?
Maybe they'll just put the R&D promo ships in the Epic Prize pack. Would be nice and make the word Epic actually mean something. Lol
Considering the phoenix UR box has old T5 event and promo ships, it'd be plausible for the next tier up to contain the old T6 event and promo ships after T7 rolls out. This is pretty far off-topic though, should probably make a different thread if you want to talk about phoenix stuff, this thread is about the limited options in the infinity UR ship choice boxes.

Sorry I think you missed the R&D promo part of my post. Not the Phoenix box ships,but the ships that are available in the T6 R&D promotion pack. Like the Annorax,Sheshar, and others...

Lockboxes have no "epic" prize packs, that's a phoenix thing. Seeing as all of the retired T5 promo ships wound up in the phoenix UR prize section, it seemed reasonable to assume you were talking about the T6 promo ships showing up in the phoenix epic prize section after T7 ships roll out and the T6 promo ships are retired. You can understand my misunderstanding, seeing as there are no other "epic" prize packs and what you're talking about is exactly what the phoenix epic tier seems to be destined to handle.

They have infinty promo packs for those already.
I was thinking he meant those at first, but "Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Box" doesn't exactly "make the word Epic actually mean something", nor does infinity's "Ultra Rare T6 Ship".
Lockboxes have no "epic" prize packs, that's a phoenix thing.
Except the Epic prize pack from the Infinity box, which is what the topic is all about. They drop less often than UR prizes, but the OP is complaining (and I tend to agree) that they're actually less desirable than them.
It's like having a race where the prize money for first place is less than it is for placing second.

Infinity contains only "Secondary Ship", "T5 Ship", "T6 Ship" and "Ultra Rare T6 Ship". It has no "Epic Ship" box.
The yellow box is called "Ultra Rare T6 Ship". Can't exactly "make the word Epic actually mean something" when it literally only says "Ultra Rare T6 Ship"
