i got 10 master keys but i am hesitant to open boxes, should i wait until the update and will they add new stuff to lockboxes when delta rising comes out?
also separate question: upon reaching level 40 you receive a t4 ship, but not when you reach level 50 because it is up to you to spend money on endgame content or decide to stop playing, that's all good but when the tier 6 ships come out will they allow each player a t5 ship aswell for free upon reaching vice admiral?

They just don't want to announce it as it might hurt the DA Pack sales.
Why do you think they haven't mentioned the prices of T6 ships or the T5-U upgrade items?

No. You already get a Tier 5 ship, actually.
Level 1-9: Tier 1
Level 10-19: Tier 2
Level 20-29: Tier 3
Level 30-39: Tier 4
Level 40-49: Tier 5
Level 50-60: Tier 6 (C-store only, be they pre-DR or post-DR)
The Vice Admiral C-store stuff technically should be Tier 6, since it's something you can't get until level 50 (note the progression above) but it's been "endgame" for so long that it's never really been called anything but Tier-5 or Vice Admiral. They're still at least one console better (and sometimes better boff stations) than the Tier-5 ships you get at level 40, and then there's the Fleet ships, and now we have Tier-5 Upgrade, and it's just turned into a giant mess at level 50.
At this point I'd just call them by rank - Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Captain, Rear Admiral, and Vice Admiral ships.
No, you don't know this for sure...
It's possible that the new Lock Box & Lobi ships will be T5U to avoid exactly what you're suggesting...
The reason they have not announced the T5U upgrade cost, is the same as why they have not announced T6 costs - it will all be put on the CStore come launch, until then Cryptic will not announce prices just as they did not with LoR until it launched...
Everything is some big conspiracy to some people...
Lol so true xD
Ten console, extra boff seat, no fleet equivilant.
And I see no issue with that at all.
Unless it is really smexy.
T6 will eventually come to lockboxes/lobi store (it's ridiculous to think they won't) and even if you don't win the ship from a box, just keep opening when you can afford to and eventually you'll have enough lobi to buy a decent T6 ship outright. In the process, you'll get some nice goodies you can either fit onto your ship or sell for good EC in the exchange which can be converted into more keys (lather, rinse and repeat).

Oh, it'd have its unique console.
And ship mastery, probably a fifth trait too.
It would be T6, like the Guardian is T6.
So, a previous lock box gave a T5, with the free option to T5U.
The new lockbox T6 would be comparable to the old lock box T5 upgraded.
T6 has ten consoles to the T5u's eleven, but gains a boff seat and a fifth trait.
0% is the chance
ofc it will be t6 lockbox
The first "free" Tier 6 ship will be the Winter Event's grind ship. Whether that comes with an Intel Hybrid Bridge Officer seat is something only the devs know as well since they have said that not all Tier 6 ships will get the Intel Hybrid Bridge Officer seat.
