    Yep I hear you plus you know I would love if one day they would make my account account wide. So that when I want to switch characters I don't have to press anything it will just read my mind and instantly change characters.

    41 seconds for me... what to do to pass the time. Okay 15 seconds these seconds take too long and minutes are too long too minutes should only be half a minute at all.

    Yeah...no

    They make WAY too much money of the gambling for them to do that...and I'm okay with that. The game has to get funded somehow and I'd rather they get it from some of the fringe ships that people may want instead of having zen store ships go up in price to 1000s of dollars to cover the loss of account wide lock box ships.

    How many people don't try their luck precisely because they are not account bound? For all we, and Cryptic, know they could be making more if the ships were account wide. However I do think it is too late form them to do this, unless they tried it as an experiment with a future lock box.

    That's already been answered, it is too complicated for them to do. I can't remember the thread, but I am sure someone can link it.

    what do you mean with acountwide unlock ? you buy them in boxes so you can tranfer them to any char yu want to fly them. They are not limited to char which unlocked them form box.

    The lock box ships are unlocked in the box state. I have lots of them in the box state in my private fleet banks. If you are asking to have the ship, once opened from the box, to be account bound instead of character bound, then that is something different. IMHO I don't think they would ever do that because they do make tons of real money on these. But I would like them to be account bound also.

    From the way I read it, he wants the ship to be account bound, like a Zen ship.

    ie... If I win a JHAS on character 1, I can claim it on characters 1, 2 and 3. All of my characters would be able to fly it.

    I would happily use 1000 Zen to re-box and move a Lockbox/Lobi ship to another char on my account.

    That is the only possible way it might happen..

    I could almost support that just to be able to move a bug between characters. if i want to fly the Jem carrier, but I'd go broke fast at 1000 zen a pop

    I think if teyx wanted them to be like c-store ships they will but them to c-store, not to lock boxes.

    Allowing a player to transfer lockbox ships removes a (perceived) need/incentive to open more lock boxes (and a chance for more ships obtained by lock boxes/keys, or obtaining more Lobi via lock boxes/keys to purchase via Lobi Store). That is a profit-loss for Cryptic/PWE.

    Meaning: I don't see Cryptic/PWE allowing re-boxing of ships for account-wide transfer any time soon.

    Even if it is a good idea.

    But I'll cast my vote for such a new function/feature to be added to the game. Maybe for Lifetime subscribers (LTS)? ;)

    reclaim-function on a toon once unlocked a ship (fleet-, lockbox and lobi ones) would be start imo... even more after they locked out any t5-version for further progression :mad:

    I don't think Cryptic will go for the whole account wide unlock of lock box vessels, it will work against their favor.

    let me put it another way
    if I had my lockboxships on multiple toons Id spend resources to EQ and outfit them
    = more profit and playtime

    Unfortunately Cryptic's methods are about making Ferengi look like non profit people with all their schemes for cash grabbing. This would take them in the opposite direction by doing something that would benefit the player instead of themselves. Can't have that.

    i also agree that a re-box function for zen would be good to have

    I like this idea. It's a good balance.

    No way they'll ever make it that when you win a lockbox ship, it's an instant account-wide unlock. I can see, and am ok with, their business model of making money off the lockbox lottery.

    But having an option where I can pay some ZEN to re-box the ship would be great. I'd actually love to see that, when I've won or bought the ship on one character, there's a C-Store option to buy the ship as account-wide. Still a good way to monetize it.

    Thats harsh.
    I dont see his question as whinning. It's a request.
    (Maybe not the wisest of requests, but I see no whinning here..)

    On the other hand, I see your response as whinny and disgruntled.
    You must be a very angry and sad person, to blow up like that, at another player's simple request.

    Overreact much ?

    I would not mind seeing it happen, but it won't, so why bother going on about it?
    The new paradigm at STO is
    1) make t6 ships to sell
    2) put the wrong trait on them so players will want 2-3 t6 ships just for the trait

    and box ships are going to play into that. Wait for it... there will be another t6 ship box soon... and it will have a must-have trait to "encourage" people to buy it. The trait will not be well suited for the ship it comes on. You can almost guarantee that.
