Cardassian-Dominion Lock Box

baddmoonrizin · September 2016

I'm hoping this isn't exclusive to XBox and PS4.

Holy...Man I hope it's for pc as well. I've wanted a T6 Galor forever

"A selection of two different Cross-Faction Console packages are up for acquisition, granting players access to special ship consoles that would otherwise be inaccessible to their faction. The first of these will contain either a Bio-Neural Warhead Torpedo Launcher for Federation players,"
But the Bio-Neural Warhead isn't inaccessible to feds its been accessible for ages. Had one on my fed account for years.

When i first started playing STO my end game ship i wanted was a JH dreadnought carrier now with this i may have to give up my tarantula for the T6 one of the dread since i love carriers and the Jem'hadar is one of the best races in star trek.
So i really hope that this is also for PC they will be shooting themselves in the foot to not do so because of how cool these ships are.

There is a bunch of stuff in that box already in game, hence is why its for consoles.

There is only like 2 or 3 ships that are completely new. Which i hope also come out to PC.

R.I.P. to any possibility of a Cardassian faction.

It will probably comes in the infinity lockbox or the lockbox rerun... but it will come..

And then there were those who said nothing good could come from the console release.
Finally doing away with a cardassian faction would be a godsend from my perspective.

They are getting the console caught up to the PC. Since they are separate gaming systems and we won't be all together. So they are rerunning all the old stuff. Now those players can get a chance for the stuff. Thus making them more $ as the console players will want it for their characters.

You can count the Dominion in that obituary.

Its very likely these ships will come to PC in a different variation of the console lockbox as its £££ for Cryptic to make selling the Keldon and Tier 6 Dominion Dreadnought Carrier

"Universal Prototype Tech Upgrades may also be won from this Lock Box. Each of these Upgrade Techs can be applied to any item capable of being upgraded, and grants +12,800 Technology Points and 2x Quality Improvement Chance, while not requiring any Dilithium to be applied. Multiple of these items will be given out each time this prize is won, allowing players the opportunity to upgrade their Space and Ground equipment to new performance heights!"

From the Console Differences Blog
"We’ll be releasing more exciting gameplay and content in future updates, including:
[...]
Crafting, through the Research and Development System."

So, the only way you're going to have full Mk XIV gear is grab the stuff from the lockbox on consoles. Impressive bit of Pay 2 Win there.

Kinda nice alternative to standard Superior Upgrades if it comes to PC, though not entirely ground-breaking as you can still buy Omega components.

I love the possibility of both of those. I hope the Boff Layout is good. I do hope it comes to PC some way.

That'd be some fine trolling:
"Want a T6 Galor? Lockbox AND console-exclusive!"

No Dominion Battleship? Don't care.

You don't know that. Just because this is happening for the console release doesn't mean that the Cardassian faction is now off-the-table in terms of it not happening. There is still more than enough chance that a faction for the Cardassians is in the works... despite some saying that it's not going to happen.

Two threads on this topic. ^^ As I posted on the other thread, this could be a precursor to expanding content into the Gamma Quadrant itself, with a new map and possible Fleet Holding next "season"... (one can only hope).

Those skins are sexy! I want them. Oh and a Dominion revamp would be nice they need it!

TBH that T6 JH Dread looks pretty meh. Looks like N64 graphics.

sanokskyrat · September 2016

So is it PC or Console which one?

trennan · September 2016

I think I still have some of the old cardie lock boxes on my storage toon.

This is a little lame if I'm honest. We get the Keldon, and that's great, but surely Cryptic can get creative and design some new Cardassian ships? They've managed to do just fine designing Dominion ones. And where (and when) exactly can we expect to fly in the Dominion Battlecruiser?
