would be nice if you could get this ship either by ZEN or dilithium rather than spending $100's of dollars on master keys to open the Kelvin Timeline lockbox only to get the same thing over and over again. I've spent about $200 to buy zen just to get master keys to open the lockboxes for the kelvin timeline and haven't received anything new or the Kelvin Timeline Heavy Command Cruiser [T6] – Constitution Class and ive seen it be given out like its a piece of candy almost every 10mins. would you please make this available in either the C-Store as a pack like you do with the TOS Bundle? even if you make it so its 3,000 zen, 1,000 lobi or even have it at say 30,000 dilithium to purchase would be awesome. if you put it in the C-store to buy at 3,000 zen you still make money and possibly more than you would if you have to keep purchasing keys. Does anyone agree with me on this?

Right now, as of this post, the connie is 270 mil on the exchange.
Right now, as of this post, master keys are 5.6 mil.
270 / 5.6 = 48.
That means for $48, you can buy 48 keys, sell then on the exchange, and have enough EC to buy the connie outright.
No gambling.
Aside from that... the Kelvin-timeline-ships are not part of the actual Prime-universe-factions in STO.
Any non-STO-faction-ships come in lockboxes, lobi-store, or promotions/events. It's always been like that.
No. I don't agree.
buy it off the exchange if you don't want to gamble.
they are making WAAAAAY more money by putting it into a lockbox.
C-Store = 1 time purchase..unlock for all characters on account
Lockbox = buy keys at $1 a pop, but only a chance to get prize AND people will keep trying..unlock for 1 character on account only
good for them..not so good for us
but it keeps the lights on at Cryptic and keeps PWE happy
Maybe they will do a Kelvin bundle using the ships from Beyond (yes, I know crashdragon is vomiting now)
It's not going to happen. Open boxes or buy it off the exchange, those are your options.
If all you want is the ship and consider anything else a loss, then your best bet is selling keys and buying from the exchange. There will always be people that open boxes in order to sell items, there will always be ships available. The cost will vary greatly depending on the ship, but if the Kelvin Connie is what you want, that can be had fairly cheap.
This process won't change as long as they can monetize high-demand items.
Lockbox is better money than C store.
