    I have to test them with my Gorn player character (I've been using the special ones for him, but if I recall 'screechy' ones squealed with the Gorn BOffs of my other KDF characters too.

    Gorn attract the epohhs on New Romulus. Maybe all little creatures like Gorn.

    I have not seen the "hair flower"??
    The Empress has a nice costume. I like her top the best. I would like to see a better picture of the boots.

    Over all, I like the style...ornate details and decorations used in the costumes in Discovery. I would not mind picking up a few pieces to mix and match.

    Never mind, I found a better picture on the thread about the sword, though I still can't see her boots. But they are platforms....platform shoes for the Klingons!!! ;-)

    She's got a gold flower blossom in her hair, on the right part.
    As for her boots, I can't be sure, but I think she had black platform heels with gold trim.

    Very difficult to find the picture of the hair accessory. Though there are several still shots where one can make out that there is one in her hair. It is either the wrong angle or not well lit.

    But one from a Mirror Universe costume display show those to be black thigh high, platform boots. Come on Guys......shoes!!! Take a picture of the shoes!!!! No one took pictures of her accessories!!!!! Except the weapons, of course.

    If it's the Emperor's box, there is a missed opportunity of ground trait: "As long as you stoically stay immobile in an open area and are attacking, all enemy shots aimed at you will miss"

    That'd be OP, I agree, but that's the power of Emperor Georgiou for you.

    Sounds like you want to turn the enemies into Stormtroopers as they are the only one who could really miss when so close

    I would really like it if there were a way to take something like the sword and use it int he trophy area of the ship. That thing would look awesome in the Readyroom.

    I wonder how they are keeping that in her hair...because I have straight Asian hair and everything slips out of it.

    i'm not Asian, but I got black straight hair, (folks asking if I got some asian in me o.o ), and stuff slips off mine as well. @_@
    So I'm curious as well. Maybe it's some fancy clip or something?

    I'm not disputing the subjectively decent/good/great quality of items in this lock box but overall it seems this is offering less than all/most others since it is missing a T6 lobi ship which is a guarantee versus the gambling ship. The Styx's frigate could've made a good T6 lobi ship or a T5 2ndary win ship I bet.

    I looked up spirit gum...as mentioned by crypticarmsman.... It is a glue used for costumes and wigs and such...theatrical use.

    Now they aren't even making an effort to put a Ship into the Lobi Store. Didn't with the last extra special super duper Infinity Lockbox either. And no additional T5 to T6 conversions of older Lobi or Lockbox Ships either.

    One trick I've seen is wrapping the hair around the clip before clamping it.

    To be fair, there aren't exacly a lot of Disco era ships to convert to a gaming ship. I mean, they already have five T6 Disco ships (Walker, Crossfield, Sarcophagus, Europa, and the upcoming T'Pau scout ship), two T6 scaling ships (Engle and the upcoming Styx), a scaling T5ish ship (Walker prototype), and a T1 ship (Malachowski).

    If you want to complain, complain about the dearth of KDF ships, as the Sarcophagus is the only playable Disco KDF ship out so far, despite the existence of the Disco BoP, the Sech, the Qugh (aka the Lukara, a seriously cool looking ship), and the Cleave.

    On the topic of the T5 to T6 conversions, I think it's a bad idea from a logistical standpoint. You have to have ships that are less powerful than the big guns. Not every ship should be able to overwhelm everything in its path. That's the reason for the Tiered system for ships.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    Are Terran emotes already in game, the Salute or the bow?


    No, I doubt we will get the I.S.S. prefix either (because they rather keep the cash gamble box flowing with mirror ships instead)....

    Utterly devastated that these uniforms are bloody lobi.... some anniversary this is turning out to be. Oh well :/

    We all know that Discovery Bird-of-Prey is incoming & it will be SO sought after. I hope it is given decent stats. If you think the KDF should get sympathy about lack of ships, what about those poor Romulans lol. Cryptic might as well make all Romulan faction hair colors red by default & give them exclusive in-game title of "step-child".

    I think you misunderstood me. They have been replacing T5 Lobi and Older Lockbox Ships with T6 equivalents. There are a few of each outstanding.

    Voth Palisade and Bastion, Tholian Recluse and Orb Weaver, Ferengi Marauder (there is a T6 but it was not made generally availible) and if you want to go into Promotion Ships, Voth Bulwark.

    So quite a few more than I could remember. Thank goodness I'm not a ship collector then. I have a Nicor & even though it is T5 & free U for it it still kicks butt nicely & it has a nice price lol. I wonder if Cryptic has abandoned upgrading all those to T6 like they did some or are still planning to eventually. Probably some sort of Retro lock box gambling event lol.
