    Interesting, so no canon lockbox ships?

    I mean, as long as we are piloting crazy, non-Federation/KDF ships, we might as well get something that actually appeared in the show, like a Fesarius vessel or a Talarian warship

    What is the weapons arrangement on the Battleship? Also, just give it a hangerbay...consumables are a waste of time.

    From what i read just now: yes.

    Edit: Ninja'd
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    The Wing Commander trait seems like a must have for everyone that focuses on Carrier ships. The Elachi weapons look sweet.

    Why do the lockboxes have to have cool items in them? I preferred the Cardassian and Ferengi lockboxes since they was no need to get all the cool stuff in them.

    Stats will be posted in tomorrow's Dev Blog. The consumables that neoakiraii was referring to are ground devices, not space.

    This salvaged Elachi technology is infused with subspace energy frequencies. Launching a probe charged with this energy will cause a localized fusion between subspace and normal space, disrupting the operation of any enemy starships caught within the rupture by limiting their perception and flight speed while simultaneously disabling their weapons and bridge officer abilities. The subspace rupture will collapse after several seconds causing damage to any ships that remain within the disrupted region of space.

    Why dont you guys just close the PVP in this game?
    Has any on this company even care about having a good game? Is all about profit with out any type of measure?

    Regenerative Tissue ? Ground Trait
    Your soft tissue heals at an extremely fast rate, allowing for superficial wounds to close quickly. This translates to increased natural regeneration, improved effectiveness of heals, and a resistance to damage-over-time effects.

    LOL... Can I get admantium claws with that? (I'm kidding, guys...)

    That said, looks to be some cool stuff. Not too many downsides to opening one of these.

    I'm not big on lockbox purchases, but the escort looks pretty cool and the Crescent Wave Cannon console sounds pretty powerful.

    Wing Commander (not worried much about trademarks, eh?) and Inspirational Leader sound like great new traits.

    Elachi Survivor Purple DOFF's, cool...

    Crescent weapon packs, that bypass shields and a portion of damage resistance, very nice... got to wonder about balance, though, and doesn't sound too good for shield tanking. I'm curious what the tradeoffs are. (There are tradeoffs, right?)

    As for the new Lobi items, Elachi Subspace Torpedo - Strong Want. Sounds like something I might want to add to my Orion captain's bag of dirty tricks.

    Umm... yeah. You didn't read the memo when STO was bought by PWE? It became a money-grab game.

    You really should read the memos... I put them on your fridge...

    Ok I like the weapons idea
    Now how about a Mirror ship skin and name in the lobi store so we can make all of our ships mirror skin if we want

    As interesting as the drones are I can't see people paying lobi for a consumable object...

    how many different types of crescent weapons are there? just cannons i suspect? maybe just DHCs?

    and are you guys crazy with that PER SHOT chance for a shot to COMPLETELY bypass shields AND bypass some resistance? guess no devs are left that remember why AP weapons got changed. considering how well i can deal damage through shields as it is, these weapons will be an i win button. the valdor console is a per shot procing weapons, and it goes off every 0 to 7 seconds, i do not trust this to be any different.

    these weapons and that aoe projected subnuke/ams/stun console look vindictively pvp ruining :mad:

    Even the worst Asian money-grab games at least try not to destroy a hole portion of the game in every single move they made just to gain some more $$ today. But in cryptic they not even try to hide the fact that they dont even care.

    They broke Foundry.. they dont care.
    They destroy PVP, they not even try to hide it.
    They destroy costumes, and they not even lie to us and tell us that they are going to be fixed.

    Why the rehash of MU ships? We have yet to see a MU Galaxy, MU Defiant, and so many others.

    well at least theyre not even pretending to care about pvp balance.

    Frankly, I think the only sound advice that one can give new players at this time is to stay away from PVP in STO.

    Is not longer JUST about balance, because we all are going to get those consoles. Is about not playing something that is completely broken! Imagine a 5 vs 5 where all have this overpower and annoying console!

    This goes beyond balance.. the JemHadar discussion is about balance.. this is about the been able to even play.

    I doubt they are going to give out C store ships as a rare drop in a lockbox.

    They couldn't even be in a lockbox if they're not canon.

    Nice ships. I think I will give them to my Romulan character. I am not a fan of all those bird look alike ships (yes I know thats why they are called Warbirds), and three of them look like flying d...s.
