Devs: Still Looking to Give Us a Cardassian Faction? Look Here

Okay, I know you guys regret giving us a Galor-class so soon. But I have a solution to it that you guys may like. It does involve tweaking the existing Galor-class, but nothing to take away from it.
First, a simple rename of it. Call it "True-Way Galor". Maybe even slap an exclusive optional skin on it. That way you guys can make the faction-exclusive Galor-class and still let those who obtained the lockbox Galor have something exclusive. You can even put a 'weaker' version for a tier IV ship in the Cardassian faction, or perhaps give it different abilities so the lockbox Galor functions differently to the faction-exclusive somewhat like the mirror ships do for the existing factions.
Just some quick ideas to throw at you. They're yours if you wanna use 'em, Cryptic.

I like cats :cool:.
UGC Campaign: The Coldblooded Scrolls
Stashed away by Damar during the last days of the Dominion War to be used by the Alpha Quadrant alliance or something like that?
So, just make updated versions of it for a Cardassian faction, which I agree must be the next faction, if there is to be one.
And if you want to take lockbox Galors out of crossfaction hands, you can always do some sort of buyback scheme where every player who turns in the lockbox Galor gets a special Cardassian faction token for a special exclusive ship of some sort.
You wouldn't get every single one, but a good portion of the playerbase.
Reputation system.
I always thought maybe they would make a Reputation like with what they have with Romulans and Romulan Plasma.
Leave the Disruptors that came on the Galor alone...they would be better than the rep ones because they would have four stat mods as opposed to two from the rep.
I doubt there even needs to be a 'buyback' feature if Cryptic takes my advice.
The Cardassians would use Phasers, of course. The Spiral Waves would still be exclusive to the lockbox ship. Unless of course they hand other factions 'unique' weapons.

I agree with you.
They could just phase out the Cardassian lockbox, as there isn't really anything unique about it, except for the Galor. Let everyone who has it keep it and fly it, just don't hand out any more of them. There aren't that many around anyways, at least not when you compare it to other lockbox ships or Lobi ships.
The NPC have D'deridexs
The Players Have D'deridexs
The only thing that seperates them is something you can obtain through the romulan rep
So there are galors out there you can always say they were outdated models that were stowed away BY damar then later the ferengi found them and boxed them.
All the while a new version of the galor is commisioned maybe not as great as the lock box version but a different variation for a faction ship.
and if you wanted a galor like the lock box then you can get the pieces via a cardassian rep system.
Leave the lock box galors ingame create a new galor variation for faction ( this way both cryptic gets keys sold and players get cardassians )
A bit before LoR came out, DStahl made a comment in one of his TTS channel appearances that sounded (at the time at least) like he was going back on earlier comments that the Galor was a mistake and that Romulan ships wouldn't be in lockboxes because it was the most likely third faction. Specifically he said the new faction didn't necessarily mean that there'd never be a Romulan ship in a lockbox, only that the lockbox version would be different than the free and C-store versions exclusive to the Romulan faction.
At the time it sounded like they saw the money a Romulan lockbox could make and a way to keep the same ship readily available for its appropriate faction and minimizing how much each version would step on the other's toes. In retrospect, I still think that's the intent, but it could have been a veiled reference to the partially Borgified D'derix that actually ended up in the first lockbox of the expansion.
