Why cant we reclaim items from lobi store? The ships cost more that a cstore ship and the universal consoles arent cheap either, as lobi is account bound so should be the items purchased on the lobi store i now for a new TOS char i will be making have to purchase those consoles and ships if i want them especially the traits on them, we should be able to reclaim them like the cstore on other characters

In the nearby trait unlocks thread I suggested that once you have a ship trait, your other captains could individually unlock it for 250,000 dilithium
I'd gladly pay zen to make lockbox ships account unlocks, I might even pay to be able to re-box a ship into an account-bound box to open with another character. I don't expect either to happen
I guess it depends on perspective - I've always seen Lobi as a "bonus"/insurance item.... like, you've opened a bunch of boxes without getting one of the "cool" random items, but hey! You've also been building up these nice bonus crystals, that you can use to buy a guaranteed thing! Excellent! (As opposed to other games' random boxes, that just give you TRIBBLE when you don't hit the big win).
But then, I've never opened boxes specifically for the crystals. /shrug I'd think that someone trying to buy a particular Lobi item out of the blue, would just save up EC and get it off the auction or from hiring someone with Lobi to get it for them.

if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

But lobi is account bound, and ships and costumes are only character bound once you open their box. I bought a Paradox off the exchange for EC.
SWTOR is character bind on equip or unbox, though for many items you can pay extra "zen" (cartel coins) to change that to an account-wide unlock. Not all items though -- the new weapon visual effects are single-character, and armor coloring (dyes) are single-character, single-use consumables.
Huh. Ok, guess I've never really paid attention to those things. I've pretty much only bought ships & costumes.

That arguement was made and made sense in a time when there were only very few non-faction ships. Nowadays, with all those account-wide unlocked event ships, like the Breen, Risian, Ferengi ones or dirt-cheap consolation prize lockbox ships from all those Delta quadrant species, it has become rather moot.
It can be surprising what ends up being really important to some manager in a marketing or IP department.
At the time when this was stated (Pre-LoR), CBS was "on record" as being against a situation where someone would pull into ESD and see anything but space littered with "predominantly" faction oriented ships (Read: Fed designs because the only ships allowed in Earth Orbit were the occasional Lockbox bird and KDFs with T3+ Marauding (and their invites).
Then the first winter event was held, and 25 days later the skies around ESD looked like the Second Breen Invasion.
And as more lockbox ships are released, it's harder and harder to find the skies over ESD or Q'onos filled with even 1/2 "faction specific" ships, but at the same time except for Scimitar(d)s, the only time the skies are dominated by "one type" of ship is right after a ship-giver event...

And? That has nothing to do with the current state of the lobi store. Right now if you want to buy a ground weapon it is character bind on pickup but the lobi you use to buy it is account-bound. So move the lobi to the character that you want to give the ground weapon to. Problem solved.
And you seem to insist on making random off-topic swipes at Cryptic/PWE. What does lobi being character bound years ago have to do with the game as it is now, or could be in the future? Answer: nothing at all.
