What the heck is in this boxes that they are so valued on the exchange? They go for 200,000 EC + each and given how easily the can be obtained I really wonder why people fancy them so much?!

Or is there something I'm missing?

    They are only easy to get hold of if you get groups for the Nakture missions. However they do have a chance to contain a set I believe that will give bonuses. Saying that the items of that will apparently be getting removed from the boxes once the Tholian rep system makes it live.

    Yes, this is mostly correct.

    However, not only is this set getting removed from the boxes in the future, that set you will be able to turn in once (per character) and get up to 150 Nukara marks to help 'jump start' your Nukara rep.

    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    I got the set for three characters. It seems to take around 20-40 boxes before you get all three items.

    kk thx. Suspected as much........

    Gotta say they're a nice option for grinding EC :p

    Does anyone have a clue what "future" means? 21st/LoR already?

    When LOR hits on the 21st, the boxes will still drop, but they won't have a chance at the EV suit set, that is going into the new nukara rep. The will contain blue items though, I think. So high end vendor trash, probably.

    so I just did a run on Nukara, had 2 elite boxes and 2 advanced boxes, so I open all for and this is what I received.

    Advanced 1 - Uncommon/Green EVA Suit
    Advanced 2 - Uncommon/Green EVA Suit

    Elite 1 - Uncommon/Green EVA Suit and Rare/Blue EVA suit
    Elite 2 - Uncommon/Green EVA Suit and Rare Blue EVA suit

    The advanced boxes I can kinda understand, but the elite boxes, gimme a friggin break, what a joke Nukara is, the rep is not even worth this TRIBBLE.

    If you're doing the grind for the boxes, you're doing it wrong. As mentioned, the best stuff is gone from the boxes. Instead, you unlock them through Nukara rep & buy them through the rep store.
