Any chance for Mirror Galaxy Dread?

Since we know it exists as the final boss in Mirror Incursion, can we expect this as a ship reward for future lockboxes? This would be an easy way to introduce the ship with the altered BOFF seating the players have been asking for - and honestly I would love to have a Dread with the Terran paint job.
The Terran ships seem to favor engineer-heavy layouts, but since the Dread is already engineer heavy I would like to see them switch around the lt tac seat with the ltcom eng seat - this IMO would solve the one remaining gripe the playerbase has with this ship: the lack of that ltcom tac.
Thoughts?

Regardless, a Terran paint job for it would be amazing. I'd drop Zen for the ability to put the Mirror skin on ships that don't have a Mirror counterpart.
Though I'd guess it'd come in a "Mirror Universe Lockbox" and be a super-rare, unlike normal MU ships.

I'd love the own the Mirror Variant of the Galaxy X but I doubt very much we'd ever see it has a lockbox ship due to the fact that all lockbox main prize ships are open faction and the X would need to be fed only.
The same problem would come up if it were a Lobi ship has well.
The only way that I can think of that would make it possible to get the Mirror X has a possible prize out of a Lockbox would be if the box itself contained 3 different ships that could be earned depending on the faction of the Character that unpacked the ship.
Example:
Klingon Character unpacks the ship and gets a mirror KDF ship variant
Romulan Character unpacks the ship and gets a mirror Romulan Ship variant
Federation Character unpacks the Ship and gets the Mirror Galaxy X
Unless cryptic is willing to start selling faction locked ships via the Lobi store a Mirror version of the Galaxy X will be hard to come by.
I have to admit that I'd love to hear what the backstory for the Mirror X would be
I see at most a standard Galaxy Class Mirror Varient with Mirror skin compatible with all other varients.
Heh Galaxy X free in a lock box... more chance to eat a lump of moon rock with gravy.
So you'd end up with something like a:
Mirror Support Dreadnought
EXACT SAME BO LOADOUT (as it is currently "balanced" between Tac and Sci), the Ens Universal becomes Ens Sci
2 Tac Console, 4 Eng, 3 Sci
MU cruisers do not gain or lose engineering stations. They swap sci and tac stations and tac and sci consoles.
Your best bet for a more aggressive Dreadnought would probably be a new variant that is a (normal universe) Dreadnought Battle Cruiser Retrofit, nor a Mirror ship which would become more science oriented by definition of how MU ships work in STO.
Free? Last I checked opening a lockbox required keys that, regardless of whether it's purchased from a credit card or energy credits, aren't cheap. The ship would only be a freebie if someone gifted you one - something I doubt would happen if this ship ever became a reality.
Enjoy your moon rock.
Might I suggest Mirror Scimitar for Romulans and Mirror Bortas/Bortasqu' for KDF?
