Suggestion for next lock box

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
We now have consoles available through lock boxes that boost antiproton, tetryon and plasma damage. Could we get one that boosts disruptors in one of the next lock boxes?

    It would be nice if they included consoles that boosted the other damage types I agree.

    Unfortunately, based on... certain sources regarding the next box, if universal console there is, it'll most likely be antiproton again. Maybe the second next one will have more luck.

    I suspect tetryon for the one after.

    There is already a tetryon 25% dmg universal console. I think it also gives 8% crtD. Comes with the Vorgon escort I believe. The only damage type that does not yet have one is disruptor. AP has at least two - the probe and the crystalline console.

    'm just sick of anti-proton......they (cryptic) seem to think its the greatest fecal matter since sliced bread.
    i dont use them, i used to have them on almost all my ships but i decided i hated not only the sound but they just didn't feel trek so ive ditched them on most of my ships, only one still has them and not for much longer.

    i think if people just stopped using them they would stop making more and more of them.

    Personally, I would like to see a new damage type come out. Something along the lines of Particle-based weapons. For all you SFB fans out there, remember the Seltorians?

    Or... revisit Protonic or Radiation.

    Protonic damage certainly deserves some more attention. There is a new console from the cross faction Kelvin ship set that gives a boost to it.

    But the negligence towards this weapon type means that it will require more than just one console to make it interesting (again. I must admit it was fun to toy with when it was just released).

    Let's be clear here, and I welcome a Dev or who ever the game mod is to check on my account, but within TWO days I spent $160.00 worth of keys to get that Romulan carrier. The first day was $100.00 in keys, then the day after $60.00
    And received NOTHING, no ships not even a bad ship or costumes...only worthless matts and stuff that I can't use on my character...
    This was about two-three weeks ago but I haven't played since out of anger, was thinking of erasing this game....But I thought I let you know about how I feel on your lock Box system :#

    Apparently you love it, because you gave them 160 reasons to keep doing things that way.

    Seriously: what goes through people's heads when they gamble strictly for the jackpot, and oh-so-predictably LOSE?

    I had to think of the Commander Keen dopefish. *swim sim swim hungry* "win win win grand prize"?

    But it can only be used on the Vorgon ship.

    Sounds like a cool idea.

    Hey, I'm upset but I still would play this game after I've cooled down...But you should understand the reason of my anger.
    I think it's fair to say that the % rate to get the ships is set way to HIGH, even for $100.00, I'm not playing to win mind you even if I had gotten the ship, it would most likely be pretty weak and I would need to grind HARD to get the weapons to catch up to my fleet, I think personally they should putt the ship in the Lobi shop or at least in the Fleet store. I understand they need money to keep the game going, but I'm just talking about fairness in the % Rate and how it should be fixed.
    And who would want to grind years to get one of those ships off the Auction House, the prices are in the BILLIONS?? :(

    $160 would have given you at least 140 keys. 140 x 5.4 million ec per key = about 1 billion ec. Enough to buy any ship in the lotto system.

    I would love to see a mop-up lockbox that adds afew ships for faction/enemies that we might not get another lockbox soon. Like the Vaadwaur (they still have the Assault Cruiser, and the Vaadwaur Juggernaut which both have unique looks), the Undine (they have the Vila-class Heavy Bioship, the Dahut-class Frigate, and even the Tethys-class Bio-Dreadnought that have unique looks.), also it would be nice to see them make a Ferasan version of the Atrox, or a Fersan ship that has parts usable on the atrox (and parts styled to give a atrox style to their ship), it is weird that only the Caitian got a race-specific ship out of the two that cannt even be used by a Ferasan. If they did this as a filler type lockbox having maybe one of each ship as a minor to grand prize set up, along with doffs an even boffs you can get too.

    Also I would love to see more omni-directional beams done up, maybe with a way of getting ones that use the mod of some of the reps even.

    Yeah, gambler's remorse. Gotta love it.

    Buying and using keys to unlock boxes gives you the opportunity to win a grand prize ship. Each opportunity to win is roughly a 0.5% (or 0.005 or 1/200) chance based on empirical testing done in the Tribble Server. Yeah, so you "lost" $160, but regardless if you return to playing STO or not, hopefully you learned a valuable lesson.

    Either don't gamble online or know when to quit; either the game or gambling whichever you prefer.

    I think we came up with the perfect concept in another thread - Schroedinger's Lockbox. There's a 50% chance it'll give you a new T6 Caitian ship when opened...​​
