Herald Lockbox

in Galactic News Network [PC]
While the Iconian War is now over, its impact can still be felt across the galaxy. Throughout the course of the conflict, Federation, Klingon, and Romulan researchers worked tirelessly to study and reverse-engineer captured Herald technology. Together, their scientists have managed to make significant breakthroughs in gateway mechanics.

We're proud to present the new Herald Lock Box!

    I would have expected something MU themed, but this is even more sensible. I hope there will be Terran bells & whistles in the future, though. B)

    Time travel and glass-cannon ships hurt my head and is NOT what Trek is about. Trek is exploration, becoming better as a species, and gaining scientific knowledge while holding on to the traditions that got us where were are.

    THREE ships with this lock box ?! Wow! That's new! The more to tempt us I guess. Wonder if the odds have improved any too. :*

    What? No mirror universe ships with this one? It would have tied in nice with the new mirror universe story line with Mirror Universe Leeta me thinks.

    I THINK, you may have got it wrong, It starts with season 11, on the 27th, if I'm correct.

    Like others, I still find the new arrangement of ships in this lockbox interesting, the appearant removal of the 'consolation' ship and the addition of a ship whose reward method and chances seems to be fairly similar to the R&D and Duty Officer Pack 'Bonus' ships...

    ^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...

    To some extent but yes same, on those at least if we didn't get the ship we got lobi instead this one is either and or so I hope the odds are good.

    :whistles: I think I may have had a butterfly affect on that one. Who knows....

    The Herald look somehow seems like it will fit with my Reman, where it will not with any of my other toons. My EC is going to be standing by for that Thrall outfit when it hits the Exchange (and climbs down from its initial astronomical high)...

    I so want a Triconipus... Just a question of which character.

    Oh well yet more ships that will be on the exchange for insanely jacked up prices... How nice that you are doing this Cryptic. You should have made them Zen Ships. Not going to play your game with lockboxes anymore I spent way to much cash on keys and got one Ship out of it and that was my first week playing a couple of years ago. Yes I bought a couple from the exchange for WAY more then they are worth to be blunt. Not going to get burned again with this lockbox wallet roulette.

    Finally, the ultimate lockbox I've been waiting for, there is NOTHING in this lockbox I don't want (Well, not sure about a floating jelly fish chasing me everywhere, but still)! Thanks Cryptic!
  • lingeringsoul888lingeringsoul888 Member Posts: 509 Arc User
    So do we have a specific description on the Herald AP beams? The vague description of "increasing damage over time" certainly doesn't mean much" How much percentage chance of doing what amount of damage over how long a period of time would help.
  • johnnymo1johnnymo1 Member Posts: 697 Arc User
    The solar gate space set will be awesome, but the ground solar gate could be insane on an engineer on the ground....going to have to buy some keys!
  • xablisxablis Member Posts: 236 Arc User
    So a Herald "raider" for everyone before we've seen a T6 BOP (after a year now). So guess that might happen in maybe 6 months or so like the raider mechanic originally released with the Plesh Brek and eventually given to BOPs not long before T6 rolled around, just in time to be made obsolete by T7 ships this time next year?
  • szimszim Member Posts: 2,503 Arc User
    Finally another raider, hopefully with flanking bonus. And the Baltim is getting a pilot AND an intel universal seat. This lockbox really sounds interesting. 3 different T6 ships - though one is described as being "incredibly rare" (so the winning chance is even lower than 0,05%).

    Not a huge fan of salvaged technology being part of the prize table. They are cheap on the exchange as it is (~300'000 EC). Giving them away as lockbox rewards will make them practically worthless.

    yay still no science ship >_>

    We need a Pet Inventory tab or some kind of Pet "Dry Dock" for all these non-combat pets that we collect in-game and via the Lobi store.

    Recovered from the field of battle, this lock box contains the Polymorphic Probe Array universal console. Usable on any ship, the console deploys three Polymorphic Viral Probes. Once active, the probes infect enemy ships with an enhanced version of Viral Matrix, which disables subsystems and deals damage.
    That the console launches 3 probes that deliver improved Viral Matrixes should remind of how useless the reguler Lt.Cmdr or Commander level Science ability is. Wouldn't it be nice if they found something to buff regular VMs so that they actually compete with, say, Gravity Well?

    The ultimate technology of doom that is Iconian ships and weapons, conviently avalaible for everyone - nothing in this game can, from a story point of view, ever be a threat to the factions we play from this point forward. Well done pig-35.gif​​

    The kit modules will see some use here, but I'm not thrilled to see all that iconian stuff in space.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Those Triconipus pets give me the jibblies. Nope, nope, nope. D=

    I'll probably pick up some of the kit modules off the exchange. Nothing else really interests me.
