Can my Fed character--like the Klingon and Romulan players--also buy just the Kelvin Dreadnought Package (console/trait) without having to buy the ship?
Ah, the salty tears of a Fed unable to get something Klingon. How I have missed these.
personally i hate the new jj universe, but i really want a lockbox ship with federation design so im cool with the new sparkly box.
the only problem i have is that those are freaking old technologies from kirk's time... how the hack is this edge technology when is 200ish years old?
this the best exemple of potato logic
The thing I was just thinking about that bothers me is that in order for my federation characters to get the trait and console from the Intel dreadnaught I have to spend the larger amount amount of lobi and also master the ship up. For my Klingons I just have to spend the lower amount of lobi and have them instantly. The trait and console pack should be available for everyone.
Man, just about everyone is going ballistic over the Abrams-Verse Constitution-class. Guys, I think you all need to consider how close Cryptic is going to the *official* movie scale of this ship. Because, if they're sticking close, then this ship will be more like a Galaxy-class in size than the Connie we know and love. Also, it's classified as a Heavy Command Cruiser. I don't know about you, but that sounds much bigger than the in-game Constitution-class' Cruiser.

Here, look, we give you a new ship! It looks exactly like the one you already had, but a bit blown up in size.
The K'Vort is best forgotten about. Kinda like the uglier Fed kitbashes that we avoided getting so far, too.
[/unpopular opinion]
That is why I call my BOP the K'Vort. So it won't be forgotten. It wouldn't have to look like the small one. They could make some changes. As for the other ships. The New Orleans is one of my favorites. That is one good looking ship!

I could fill a whole website with my hatred for the Abramsverse AND another one with the audacity to give us that fake-TRIBBLE giant abomination instead of the real Constitution. But I will just breathe deeply, hope for a decent-looking disruptor compression pistol and wonder whatever gave you the idea to make a set out of consoles from three different factions that then BOOST F****** PHASERS AND PHOTON TORPEDOES???? No, breathe deeply. I'm not even interested in any of those ships. But the design decision is just sooo dumb. For Gre'thor's sake let it boost Phasers + Disruptors and Photon + Plasma Torpedoes.

ok don't know if this has been asked but will we be able to buy the JJ Verse Fed Bridges as i dont wanna be flying around in one of the Kelvin Timeline ships and be stuck using the Prime Timeline Bridges

The KT-ships will come with faction-appropriate bridges i.e. the KTstution will get the bridge seen in the movies, the Vengeance will get the Vengeance bridge. The D-4x and T'Laru will both come with Abramsverse-inspired bridges for the appropriate faction.
This lockbox is the single greatest thing to happen to STO. The nerd rage is just oh so satisfying.
It's a thing of beauty. A rare glimpse into darkest part of the mind's eye. This lockbox represents the pinnacle of Star Trek. When the rage of the STO forums crashed upon the unrelenting rocks of diversity, and impotently receded back into the oceans of madness and intolerance.
This is Roddenberry's Star Trek. This is his future. When venomous rhetoric spewed from the lips of the zealots in the name of peace and harmony, to writhe and shudder in pain and horror as the fruits of the labors of JJ Abrams and Bad Robot Productions walked through the gates of Star Trek Online, welcomed with open arms by their cousins from the Prime Universe, embraced, smiled and said, "Welcome home, we've been waiting for you for almost five years."
This is Norman Rockwell's "The problem we all live with" for us. This is our desegregation of the two realities that diverged in 2009. We look upon the crowd of people who only pay lip service to terms like "tolerance" and "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations", and see them for the small minds they are.
We look upon them not with rage or anger. We look upon them with pity, and we smile while walking hand-in-hand with the Kelvin Timeline and wave at them, because even though we do not understand their intolerance, we understand that they too are our neighbors. They are Star Trek fans just like the rest of us.
We welcome them to our ready room table as we begin the hard work ahead to mend the rift between us.
KT Constitution a rare gamble/lock box "reward", it never ceases to amaze me how much Cryptic can turn me off from wanting to play Star Trek Online.
Welcome to Greed Trek Online 2016.
I loved the game far better when Atari was in charge of it ...
You mean when the budget for the game was basically peanuts and the game went into life support mode with no new content for a year. Yeah, those were good times.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!
very disapointed i would have bought that kelvin enterprise in the c store if it was 50 bucks ive been waiting for that ship for a very long time. I guess ill have to wait for my kelvin on the gtn when its not 200 million = (
why not make alternative version models to sell in the store at least? this is just stupid

Oh you're right, milking real world money out of players for sought after ships is currently acceptable these days ... my bad ...

While I might have technical issues with some of the JJverse Trek, it was always still Star Trek to me, no different than the Mirror Universe was Trek. I think everything, from Enterprise to Beyond is part of the Trek universe and should be part of STO.
The only thing I find bad about this lockbox is how much truer to the actual ship model the Kelvin Constitution is when compared to the Enterprise/Constitution II class model in game compared to it's own on-screen model. If only the model of that ship in STO was as true and detailed (and, of course, had a T6 version) as the JJ version is. I think that above all others is what will drive people to strive to get the new Kelvin Connie.
Say what you will, but the Kelvin universe had some great costumes and ship models, and I'm glad they are finally a part of where Star Trek lives for us all.

Vastly preferable to a dead game, I think. Of course it would be even preferable if everything was free, cancer was cured, and we all lived in harmony. But we have to face the reality of this world sometime, and I prefer a working business model for a Star Trek Online game then a defunct game.
Sure, you can dream up that there must be a better way, but until you make your own game and prove it, it's just fiction. Kinda like Star Trek.

While we may disagree on our favoured aesthetics, we agree that this particular set bonus is unwise; although I will add that a Plasma energy weapon bonus should be present for Romulans, and that KT Klingon space weapons, as well as KT Romulan space weapons, and ground weapons, should have been included in the Lockbox. Hopefully this parity will be corrected, and the expecting (but missing) weapons will be included in a future Lockbox (Beyond, anyone?).

There is one out there already, well close to it. The K'Vort. However they refuse to bring it to the game.
