    The city ship just looks like a missive space gun to me....

    Very nice, but I'd place a bet the top right picture will be the lock box prize.
    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    Wow, I really like how these turned out.

    Although...maybe I'm just being too picky, but this ship here looks way too similar to a JHDC to me. I'm not sure, it's just the way that the front comes down and the placement of the side nacelle/gun things. Widen it up a little bit and stick 2 more nacelles on it and you have a reskinned JHDC. Maybe I just need to see the bottom of the ship, but that was the first thought that came to mind when I saw it.

    Top picture, right-hand ship... looks kind of like a more rounded version of Darth Maul's 'Sith Infiltrator' from "Star Wars"...

    And I don't know about anyone else, but I look at that City-ship concept and I'm seeing the head of a Xenomorph from "Alien"...

    The prize is a space dinosaur egg you can get out of the lockbox that you can put in an incubator(sold in c-store) to grow your random dinosaur ship.

    Quite a lot of Concept Art, but I am curious. How many Voth ships are there actually going to be?

    Top ship on the left looks like a vibrator :D

    The one on the right like a streamlined Jem' ship

    And the bottom one like a huge gun.

    Very cool! Would be interested in knowing if the city ship will be available in a lockbox. So city ship maybe might launch out whole starships as hangar pets? That would be cool

    Wow those are some awesome ship designs. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us.

    I found it interesting how people thinks some of these ships resemble other ships from other games/shows. I think its related how much they liked those games/shows. To me the top right one seems indeed like something from Star Wars, but lets face it, there arent many ways to create a behemoth of a ship. And the last one to me looks like a drop ship from Independence Day. But I think they are all original and great looking, and to know how they were created its a bonus :)

    I am not sure tho they will be in a lockbox at S8 launch, since we didnt get right away the elachi ships aswell. My bet is that first there will be a diferent lockbox, maybe a Breen one since i saw a wide angle transphasic torp carried by some voth ships wich couldve been just a placeholder, then the voth lockbox. But who knows...

    Maybe it's a Targetmaster partner for when the Delta Sphere transforms into a giant robot? :D

    I'm pretty tired of new ships and new consoles. What we want is GOOD content and a Balance to the PVP system. We are all Tired of Grinding reputations and gear. We want a game where you log in go have some fun with your friends, spend some cash and enjoy.

    Not a game where you log in grind for hours, experience no variation on the old boring missions, then jump into a PVP queue only to get miss matched on Gear, level, and broken mechanics, that's even if the the Queue engages after 25 minutes of waiting. I really Hope Cryptic look @ these comments.

    I love Star Trek and that is the reason why i play STO, but with more and more Awesome games out there, the grind of a new season and the lack of balance and creativity are forcing me off STO. Please Devs Don't let STO Die.

    Thanks and best regards,
