As much as I like ENT and having more stuff from that ST show in the game, going back to cross-faction console exchanges just makes this lockbox pure TRIBBLE, Cryptic.
I seriously thought you learned your lesson and evolved a brain in there somewhere when you started making new unique consoles for the lockboxes. Aparently I was wrong to even give you that small benefit of the doubt. It's pretty obvious that you're suffering from a severe lack of creativity in your team, perhaps it's time to hire someone that has ideas? Ideas, Cryptic, remember those?
I'm not even going to go into all the OP BS here, it's pointless. The sad thing is that instead of a fun experience, STO is growing more dull and tedious by the day.
P.S. Congrats Romulans, seems that the green consoles are next in line for the gambleboxes and not exclusive anymore! Oh the joy!
(In case anyone got lost in it, pun intended, that last paragraph was sarcasm)
hm... works for me. anyway, i'll copy/paste the trait snippet:
Species: Xindi-Reptilian
Gender: Male
Profession: Tactical Officer
Traits:
Ground: Vicious (Damage and Crit Severity Buff, increases over Combat Time)
Ground: Superior Peak Health (Increased Hitpoints, Toxic Resistance)
Ground: Superior Resiliency (Physical and Energy Resistance) Space: Impatient (Reduced Cooldowns on Tactical Bridge Officer Abilities)
Ground Abilities:
Battle Strategies I
Suppressing Fire I
Fire on My Mark I
Stun Grenade I
Space Abilities:
Tactical Team I
Torpedo Spread II
Beam: Fire at Will III
Attack Pattern: Omega III
Since Xindi are part of the Federation, does this put another nail in the coffin of that 'no faction ships in lockboxes' policy? If so I wonder why we got handed the Xindi first instead of something like the Bajorans or Vulcans....
It is always a real pleasure to see how people like to pay for power.
Im not paying for power.....im paying for the incredibly cool weapon and ship skins they came out with. I wouldn't give 2 ****s what the carrier's stats were, it looks REALLY cool

That's my stance on it. I don't give a rat's behind about optimum layouts or superior DPS or that one faction's imaginary numbers aren't bigger than the other's anymore or that one doesn't have the other's iWin button. I want to fly around in a cool spaceship.
I may even make whoosh noises. And go "Pew pew." at things.
Can the Xindi-Reptilian Tactical BOFF's uniform be changed? Say, to an Oddy uniform.
It can indeed be changed (I asked the same question). According to Borty upthread, it also unlocks the Reptilian uniform for the player and their boffs, or you just stuff Commander Lizardbreath in a shiny new Oddy uniform.
I'm Disappointed (there's a shocker nobody expected, huh?)
I'll start with the Ships; we can't fly a T5 Miranda, nor can we fly a T5 Constitution, nor can we fly a T5 Oberth, yet we can fly 22nd Century Xindi Ships (in addition to 22nd Century KDF & Republic Ships); this disappointment apparently isn't specific to the Xindi. I'm curious though as to why every species except those within the Federation are capable or utilizing old designs with newer tech.
The Aquatic vessel (as seen in ENT) was a behemoth of a ship; if the Xindi of the 2410 are using the same design, then it's been reduced to a rather small vessel. These ships would have came across better if they were large, and had the message of "we're huge, don't TRIBBLE with us" with them.
Secondly (and still with the ships here) but they're both TAC orientated? I can understand (and accept) the Reptilian Ship, but I was hoping the Aquatic Ship would have an ENG or SCI focus.
Thirdly, the Xindi Bridge Officer. Only Reptilian? Whilst I can understand the lack of Aquatic (and maybe Insectoid) why the lack of Primate and Arboreal? Couldn't we have had one per career? Reptilian for TAC, Primate for ENG and Arboreal for SCI? I had my sights set on purchasing a Primate; I've no interest in a Reptilian.
And whilst I can't say for sure, each themed lock box varies, so it's not looking too likely that we'll see anything else Xindi with the next Lock Box release.
I feel as though you (Cryptic) have missed an opportunity here. It's great that we've got the Xindi, but you seem to have done the bare minimum where they're concerned.

Ummm .... where are you getting that from ?
It's not in the Lockbox blog you're replying to ... .
wrong link, homie. Xindi Lockbox Overview

Great, but the link is still dead.

It's really odd, some of my pals in game are saying it's up and others are like me, saying it's down. anyway, ty.
EDIT
the "down for everyone or is it just me?" tool says arc site is down.

EDIT: the Cross Console box set up is atrocious. there should be one box and each faction gets their choice.
In the Xindi lockbox overview one, not the ship one, people are saying there are space weapons, but I can't see them.
Also I have a big picture of Xindi doffs, 4 of them, but nothing around them saying yes you can get xindi doffs. Are there Xindi doffs?
I've running firefox in case it makes a difference.

Okay thanks, but am I seeing things, is my browser seeing things, or are they missing from the blog?
EDIT:
Oh yeah, forgot, can we get bigger pictures of the ships please? The carrier in particular looks lovely and if there is a wallpaper I'd love it.

Couldn't agree more! Love the insectoids and their ships, too! (and their language)

This.
That carrier looks gorgeous.

I'm currently looking into a discrepancy between Firefox and other browsers such as Chrome.

A detailed post should be up later today in the Duty Officer subforum.

Yeah, some info on what we'll actually get 99% of the time would be useful.
