Not going to vote. It wouldn't be fair, since I'm not likely to spend that much Lobi on it and in the case of some of the ships I don't possess the corresponding lockbox ship that would allow me to get the extra benefit.
IF I were going to vote though, it would probably be for the Temporal Destroyer. Not because I think the console is all that useful or because I like the looks of them, but because I'm in the camp that doesn't want to fly around in a Tal-Shiar, Dominion, or Tholian ship.
2nd choice would be the Adapted Battlecruiser. But I'm not spending my Lobi on it anyway, so the point is moot.
Real good deal for those who do already possess the proper lockbox ship and don't already have the corresponding ship from the Lobi store.
Still hoarding my Lobi toward the day when I get one of the lockbox ships I want and need to complete a set that goes with it. Preferably a D'Kora for my Ferengi.

Due to the way this poll is trending, I chose to use my Temporal Science crate that I got from opening a Temporal lock box few days ago for my alt Sci toon, instead of putting it on the exchange. The reason being with Temporal Destroyer getting a 40% discount, it will have a spillover effect on the prices of Temporal science, aka. crash.
Well even though it looks like the JHDC isn't going to win, something good came out of it for me. For a while there, the JHDC was in the lead so prices on the exchange dropped almost 10m since I suspect that people were dumping their stock before the flood hit. I swiped one off the exchange last night before the prices went back up to normal due to the destroyer taking the lead. Going to spend today outfitting and playing around with my new carrier. Thanks Cryptic! :P
The temporal destroyer is a terrible ship, and people voting for it are terrible players. Both carriers are head and shoulders better than the destroyer.
I have the Jem'Hadar carrier and it's not better then the Temporal ships but equally bad. The only ships I haven't played are the Tholian and Tal Shiar ones. But sadly people think they rock. They will most likely be let down.
The Temporal Destroyer is a ship that's just as Romulan as the Tal Shiar Adapted ships.
True, but read my above comment. I have played the temporal ships, thay aren't that good.
And before anyone says that I've got no clue. I have 9 lvl 50 toons 3 FED, 3KDF and 3 ROM. 1 Sci, 1 Tac and 1 Eng of each. I love the Atrox and the Kar'fi carriers, not the Marauder and not the Jem'Hadar one. The Jem'Hadar bug ship is good though. The Mobious is not that good. The best ship so far that I've played is the D'Kora. It' atomizes those other ships. The Romulan ships come close second.
Thus the best ship in my opinion is Tal Shiar Adapted Battle Cruiser. Plus it looks bad a$s.
I am wondering if Cryptic are planning to remove one ship from the Lobi Store and replace it with a new one and even also remove some things.
To replace it with Voth things and a new ship maybe a Voth battleship, Escort or carrier.
There are plans to release a Voth carrier that you will get it as an reward from a mission.
There must be a reason for this voting and discounted things with 15 %.
Originally the entire contents of the Lobi store changed with every new lockbox and the old stuff was no longer available.
Cryptic changed that and now they just add new stuff to the store without really taking anything out. Not that they won't discontinue items, but current policy seems to be "More Is Better".
The reason for that is because most people hoard Lobi until they see something they really want and won't use it on anything else. It takes time to save up a few hundred Lobi, unless you've got a ton of money and/or Dil-bought Zen to throw at it. By keeping things in the store longer, they're encouraging people to keep buying lockbox keys over the long-haul to get what they want.
They just added the Elachi lockbox and Lobi items, so they're not going to add Voth items or anything else until this promotion is done.
The discount does a couple of things, off the top of my head.
#1 - Encourages people to spend any Lobi they're hoarding so that they'll buy more master keys later.
#2 - Encourages people to buy more master keys or DOFF packs so they can get more Lobi right now to get the discounted items.

This seems very logical to me. I can honestly say it got me to spend a few million EC on keys to get lobi on characters who only had the 20-ish from featured events so they could get the bind-on-pickup items I had wanted for them (one energy whip, a sword, etc).
My main key opener is still slowly hoarding lobi because, well, those keys and lobi went to someone else haha, so I'm only at 300-ish on him. Would take a steep discount before I can buy a ship, but that's something possible with the right discount.

Thank you, Cryptic, for doing all these great sales and giveaways!
This. What a shame.
Well this is after all
