Or can we postpone selecting the prize (Lobi, T6 tokens or Premium Box) indefinitely? pig-39.gif Any ideas?​​

    What you claim is a choice box, that can be opened later for the choice between ship, t6 tokens, lobi. So claim it now, decide which one you want later on.

    If you're paranoid you'll want to grab that box on the faction you intend to use it on (Fed, Rom, KDF) but when I did it on PC last night the ship choice box let my KDF captain choose between a Connie and D7. At least on PC it seems OK to claim it on any captain.

    If you have the selection box in your inventory, i'm pretty sure can be keeped that way indefinitely... as any selection item. I you havent claim it yet from the event tab, you may have trouble later..

    I waited close to a year with the first campaign prize token without any problems since the ship I wanted to get with it was in the "new" tab for quite a while. I think the prize box is like any other prize box and it should stay good indefinitely, but that is just a guess.

    I didn't know that the campaign reward is a choice box that contains all three options. In that case I'm going to claim that and wait pig-1.gif​​

    I recently just earned my Premium choice box a few days ago so I've got deliberation leading to a decide too. I'm first leaning towards the premium ship & there's so many to choose from, the 2 free T6 ship coupons I'm doubtful & the 1500 lobi I like the amount but I've never had a liking of the lobi restrictiveness. I'm going to spend a few days going over the premium ship list & try to narrow it down. *I forgot to add, thanks to Cryptic, this was a long grind, but now that I earned the option I'm thankful.*

    That is why I usually don't go for character unlocks at all. You invest a lot of time and effort and suddenly the flavor item gets nerfed. However I do think I'll take Lobi for costumes, so I can do themed characters if I feel like it.

    I do want to make a Kelvin character and this box is the only chance I get on a Kelvin type ship. However I also wait for this character to be a DSC style Tellarite. The devs said the visuals for those should be added after the anniverssary event. The last one, that is. So I don't know if that ever happens...

    Yes, it's indefinite, but the choice of Premium ships won't change. That's limited to what was available up to December last year.

    I'm not sure if it's appropriate to this particular thread or not, but the Event III ship choice pack... Does that unlock the chosen ship to be claimed on all characters for the entire account, or just one character?

    Just one character.

    See, Cryptic really didn't communicate this well. People are still insecure about account vs character bound premium ships.

    As protoneus said, the premium ship choice is a regular lockbox/promo choice box, only for one character and not reclaimable.

    Note that it works like an infinity lockbox or promo choice box (a single character unlock) but the list of ship choices is fixed forever. It never updates with new choices. The ships you can choose from are ones released before 2021, and ships from 2021-2022 will never be added.
