This would not make lockbox ships an account wide unlock. Still only 1 ship per account. But you can move it around if desired.
Example + steps to swap:
1) You put your Voth Palisade Science Vessel on your Science Captain (go figure right?)
2) Oh look a new Voth ship, now I could better use all 3 Voth consoles on my Engineer Captain instead.
3) I now remove all but the original items from the Voth Palisade and switch my Science Captain to a different ship, effectively putting the Palisade into 'unused' status.
4) Some mechanism for any of my other captains to now take the unused Voth ship and use it as their own.
Still only 1 lockbox ship per box, but now I'm way more likely to try and obtain lockbox ships knowing that I can move it to another captain if I decide in the future it would be better off there. Case in point: the new 3 Piece Voth set is introduced after I've already opened 2 Voth ships on my Science captain.
Please Cryptic. Lock box ships, and now duty officer pack ships, are expensive enough. Give us a little flexibility here like you did with Lobi (and thank you for that!) and I for one would try to obtain more of them. I have certainly bought more keys now that I don't have to AGONIZE over which character needs the Lobi most at any given moment.
Thanks in advance for listening.
Yes completely agree,and i also think everything should be account wide,and that bound to character should be scrapped altogether.
to the Dev make a 25$ repackage token to be able to send it to any toon on say account if you want to then again pack it up and send it to another toon another 25$ its a win win cryptic still makes money off old lockbox ships and so on

Hahahaha. Sir, I think you understand Cryptic. Speak to them in Money. That language is the best language for getting things to happen. 2500 zen token? A little steep. 1000 zen (10$) should be less painful to players. Nice idea by the way.
The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.
But really why should they? It will certainly lead to lower sales and the fees generated will be small. How many people even have them to begin with? I don't think demand for lock boxes will increase dramatically ... since they are quite expensive (in terms of dollars or time).
This....
The issue with the reboxing idea is that it has the potential to lose them money. I know many players who go about reopening lockboxes (past) on new toons trying to get the ship. It also would hurt re-release ships (JHAS) sales in packs/lockboxes.
Perhaps if the price were high enough (TBH, I'm thinking the $25-$50 is right about correct), then there is a chance they would do it. A slim chance...
Add me to the list of people who would love to be able to shove a ship back in its reward pack, even if on an account-bound basis- I'd do it to my Tuffli, which deserves a better home than its current owner.
I would love them to add this, but i doubt they will as it would only cost them money. the only way i can see them wanting to do this is to open up a c-store option once you have the ship on one character that lets you buy it on another character. I think a lot of people would go for that and would offset the sales lost from the few who try to get multiple ships per account.

PWE/Cryptic, would gladly pay 5000 zen to open up account wide unlocks, or transfer lockbox ship to another alt.
I may even have to suck it up and buy a second temporal warfare set for her as well...
