Are we only getting 1 new lock box ship?

So is it only the Synth Destroyer? Or are there other ships as well?

    Just it as far as we know, or at least I've not heard of anything else.

    Well, since we're not technically even supposed to know about the Synth Pilot Destroyer yet, its very hard to tell!

    The Synth what now?? ;)

    I think Cryptic is waiting for some more material to work with to get a new lockbox out. Until then it sounds like they're going to take a few things here and there and add them to the Infinity Box.

    Right now I think they don't have enough to work with to have a lockbox tied to a show right now, and they really don't have anything currently active in the game to justify a full lockbox.

    Can't they make up stuff on their own? They do not necessarily have to follow a certain rule here no?

    There usually is only one ship in a Lockbox. What may be confusing you is they used to release a ship into the Lobi Store simultaneously. That hasn't occurred in over two years. All we get in the Lobi Store is T6 Upgrades of Lobi Store T5 Ships (only 2 left) and special Weekend Sales of a Promotion Ship for 940 Lobi.

    I wonder what the 2021 Anniversary ship is going to be?

    They could do another Delta box/lobi set with the Hierarchy and Octanti ships they already built:

    Personally, I still really want the Devore Warship from VOY:

    As for weapons and stuff; use it as an excuse to add more Tetryon weapons to the game. As for kits and consoles.. Devore were telepath hunters; Hierarchy had some pretty advanced electronic-warfare and stealth tech. (The Hierachy frigate could probably be implemented as a new raider/scout with EBC)

    That ship looks so good!

    Those three ships do look nice, especially the Devore one.

    I wish they would make more coleopteric warp ships though, like the Octanti ones, but especially ones where the ring can rotate down into the silhouette of the ship when not in use like some of the Vulcan ones did in ENT. Those engines are supposed to be slightly faster and more efficient than the equivalent nacelle based ones but not as maneuverable at warp, but that would not factor in much with STO unless they did it for sector space, which is mostly irrelevant, so it is more a space Barbie and RP thing.
