    There is a very strong chance the next lock box will be a "Temporal Box II" of sorts however no speculation, rumors, or confirmation have surfaced as to what exactly will be in the box

    I'm guessing the next lockbox will have some ships we've seen before in "times past!" ... it's the 50th anniversary and we're gonna party and have fun and celebrate Trek so I bet it's something big and fun and cool.

    The new Matroyshka Lockbox will contain another lockbox within it, requiring another key to unlock - with a 10% chance it's another Matroyshka Lockbox!

    I read it on the internet just now, as I typed it, so it must be true!​​

    Would be nice if the next lockbox had TOS themed stuff like good ToS Phaser weapons and ships. I know a T6 TOS era ship is thematically silly, but we already have Vaadwaur and Herald ships...
    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    I got my Windows in 1995. They still work better than the vista view my neighbor got years later.

    I think it'd be cool if they did like a smattering of eras in the next lockbox. Like something from TOS, something from TNG/DS9 and something from the Alternate timeline Movie Universe. I know there's a massive thread about the Vengeance. But I myself would love the Kelvin. For TOS I know exactly what I would love but I can't mention it. From TNG/DS9, there's always the New Orleans.

    Oh go ahead, mention it...

    Its probability of happening has multiplied by a factor of 1000 since Mr. Gecko's comments in the Priority One podcast.

    Formerly, its probability of happening was 0.

    1000 x 0 = ?

    The next lockbox's theme will be:

    Tears. Salty, salty tears.

    I've heard ... -rumors- ... of a JJ Trek lockbox ... which saddens me as I'd much rather see certain rumored ships in the c-store

    I wouldnt mind a Federation Class skin for the Gal-X/Yamato class. Crytpic could really be mean and make it a whole new ship with an intel commander/ engineer slot.

    Of course, theres always a T6 TOS Oberth to be made :)

    Lucky you. I've got nothing but a view of a big sign that says "M.E." out of my windows. Oh, and they let a hellish draft in, not to mention the fact that I can never get them to close properly first time. I'm actually rather jealous of a neighbour who also got his in the year 2000, but somehow his worked fine from day 1. The lucky b**tard.
    I need a beer.

    Not so sure about those rumors being tied to a lockbox. Lockboxes have 2, sometimes 3 ships, which doesn't line up with the rumor. They'd be smarter to use the logic currently used to pick between the two bug/shessar variants and put them in a bonus box. I'd rather not see a million of those ships flying around like you get from a lockbox anyway.

    The Federation-class is out, sadly - at least for the foreseeable future. CBS specifically said no to the Franz Joseph ships. No Federation, no Saladin, no Ptolemy. :(

    @jonsills well when you think about it logically 1000 X 0 = 1000

    Because you have 1000 of something g and are multiplying it by nothing so you still have the original 1000!

    Was that New Math? Cuz it didn't make any sense. I'd ask my daughter, but she appears to only be able to do her math while in class, and immediately forgets it when she comes home to do homework.

    The next Lockbox ship won't be a ship. The prize will be our very own Deep Space Ninety-nine ("That's not a hampster wheel, it's a space station...") and the alternate prize (foregoing lobi crystals) will a Bug-ship sized V'GER (we shall call it "Mini-V")

    And those will be the prizes of the final Matroyshka Lockbox. The way the Matroyshka Lockbox works is that you have a 10% chance of opening the next Matroyshka Lockbox with a 10% change of opening the Matroyshka Lockbox within that. Each Matroyshka Lockbox has its own set of rewards with the best rewards being inside the final Matroyshka Lockbox. So the chances of getting the best prize of the Matroyshka Lockbox is 0.00001%. After all, Matroyshka Dolls is the proper term for Nested Dolls or those Russian wooden dolls that have a doll within a doll within a doll within a doll within a doll within a doll.....
