Future Lockboxes.

With the sneak peak post, I cannot say whether or not the Voth will be on the table, but i suggest keeping it on as an option. In discussion on ESD, we decided that a borg lock box would be possible, but we cant start having cubes out there. it was also suggested Octahedrons or spheres, but those also seem questionable. Then it was mentioned that what if it was an assimilated version of a ship. We would have to be careful with something like that. would it make grinding for borg gear obselete? what would separate it from a ship with borg gear. I was thinking of several possibilities such as special consoles that could come with it, but then you have to ask which ship?. a cruiser? a science vessle? an escort? what would be the lobi store equivalent?. We also just had a lockbox with technically assimilated ships. any other ideas? a different species lockbox?

    I think that an Elachi Lockbox would be a good idea. All their ships are amazing, and going the Lobi store salvage idea it works out. After the battle of New Romulus where the Elachi fleet was smashed. Tons of salvage sitting on the Romulan's door step for all intent and purpose

    The lotto box is the one thing I wish would go the way of the Dodo, in relation to this game.


    But since the keys are money makers, and lobi is a "currency" in-game, it will never happen.


    I suspect the next gamble box will be something unexpected.

    I would say the voth, but as of now it is till in early early speculation. the elachi would be a good idea, espically since they are already known throughout the game

    Don't forget the S'golth flown during Devil's Choice...so yeah, that plus this plus that plus this...course, I thought the Elachi box was going to come before the Tal Shiar box and was wrong about that...

    I bet there'll be a Voth lockbox after the Elachi.

    i still think we will see a delta quadrant box soon. main prize being the Daedalus class ship. then again it could be the free ship they hinted at a few weeks ago. i personally wound go for a Borg lock box but an Elachi would be nice.

    A Borg lock box with an assimilated Voyager or Liberated Borg unlock would be great. I've made this suggestion many times but there's always been so much angst. What would be best would be a First Officer Lock Box where you can promote your 1st officer to captain. That way people could play many species that they can't otherwise right now.

    Called it!

    Wouldn't be surprised if an Oschu Attack Shuttle will be in the lobi store too. Along with purchaseable Crescent Disruptors from the D-Store.

    Would love to see some Crescent Disruptors but the stats on the console seem like junk 7 seconds no moving for a chance to disable 1 subsystem and then you lose your fore shields for 8 seconds so unless the damage scales real good that will be interesting to see what happens.

    Hopefully, if it's anything like the NPC version, it will outright ignore a good chunk of your target's shields and do direct hull damage. That's what I remember it doing anyways.

    Would certainly be a good trade-off for the charge time and shield loss

    This may be a weird idea. But an Elachi bridge officer. Say a Romulan that had been converted in body but not in mind. Some special Elachi gear that only works for that bridge officer, like the Skittering Saboteurs.

    A bridge officer would be nice, but a playable species would be better.

    I know it's unlikely (though the "subverted in body, not in mind" thing would work as an explanation), but it'd be nice to get another non-humanoid species to play as.

    If not, a bridge officer works; just means we can convert him into a playable character when the First Officer functionality rolls around.
