edit- after taking a closer look, something else appears off..
Tholian Widow Fighter
The Tholian Widow Fighter is available for purchase for Lobi at the Lobi vendor.
The Tholian Widow is small, nimble fighter. It comes with a Tetryon Beam Array and a Thermionic Torpedo Launcher. Thermionic Torpedoes are capable of draining the target's Weapon and Engine Subsystems with each hit, reducing its damage output and speed temporarily.
All equipment that comes with the Tholian Widow Fighter can only be used on other small craft.

Nice ships, looking forward to these new lockboxes.
edit: I checked tribble, and the current prices are 300 for the fighter and 800 for the cruiser. I really hope it stays this way as 800 is expensive but attainable, and I'm really interested in this carrier.
Needs to be investigated!
Oops, looks like they did skip a number, didn't they? :P

The Mirror Assault Cruiser configuration includes the mirror version of the Avenger class.
shouldn't these be switched??
What about reading first the news: DEV Blog #13 - Tholian Lock Box
Nope, Dev Blog 13 was yesterday detailing what was IN the Tholian Lock Box
edit: Ninja
It just looks like the Mirror Star Cruiser and Assault Cruiser are just visual swaps, so the Star Cruiser fights like the Assault Cruiser and vice versa.
The Vor'cha though definitly has a typo, otherwise it gets +15 to weapons and engines and +5 to shields and aux.

Except it isn't labeled as Dev Blog #13. It just says "Tholian Lock Box".

Brandon ... You guys posted the exact same information for the mirror ships as the regular versions which I'm guessing is a mistake.
Also ... can you customize these ships with the other cruiser parts (including the Imperial if you've unlocked it)?
Look at the bridge officer layout.
OR ... is the mirror assault cruiser actually the sci cruiser and the star cruiser mirror the tactical? .... am so confused.

Good catch. This was fixed elsewhere but still managed to slip into the Blog.
The true weapons arrangement is 2 Fore, 0 Aft.

Bad titling is all.

Borticus ... What about the mirror assault and star cruisers .... are they wrong in the blog post or just switched in mirror form with assault mirror the same as the standard FED star cruiser and vice-versa ?
UPDATE ... OK ... I get it ... they ARE reversed which is cool as I've always loved the Star Cruiser look but hated her boff layout.
Question ... can you use the unlocked C-store skin on her?

Also, could we get to know the Lobi price of both the fighter and the carrier please?
Edit:
Also for the Carrier: Isn't this a bit too little? Only +10 total bonus power, while most other ships get at least 15.
I see. In that case they should go back and fix it. Looking at the news archive page, it goes from Season 6: Dev Blog #12 to Season 6: Dev Blog #14. Seems a bit sloppy to be honest.

What about the Bridge Officer slots of the Terran Ships?
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
Dev Blog #13 was called "Tholian Lock Box" so that it would show up in the launcher with that title
Cheers,

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat no Imperial Skin? I know it's ugly, but it seems like it would come from the Mirror Universe.
Brandon / Devs .... Will the three mirror universe ships be able to use the costume parts for the regular verse ship bodies if the player has unlocked those ship costume styles already?
(Example would be the Imperial costume and what the heck is the name of the star cruiser skin? )
Me going after these ships is pending this answer.

Yes ... We want our c-store skins to be usable on these ships.

Mirror ships have a similar name to their prime universe counterpart. That is, an Assault Cruiser is and Assault cruiser ? They are tactical-ish. However, they have the opposite costume. So?
Mirror Assault Cruiser:
Mirror Star Cruiser:
Note, these ships are equivalent in power to in-game rear-admiral Dilithium ships. They effectively give Federation players 3 new costume options (and one texture option) for those ships. Klingons get a whole new ?Star Cruiser-like? configuration in their Mirror Vorcha, but it is still equivalent to a Dilithium ship. As such, they have a better chance to drop than high-end Lock Box ships, like the Tholian Orb Weaver.
Mirror ships are confusing. There are a few errors on the Blog we are straightening out now. Sorry for the confusion.
