There is a blog up about the ship stats for the first CONSOLE Lockbox.
If I were a pessimistic sort I would say that the Consoles are their new 'Undiscovered Country'. Can we expect that Consoles are the new Federation and the PC version the KDF and Romulans?
Nah.

Not possible, since they have to run separate instances for each console. Their pops, even combined, will probably never equal PC. Not to mention there will have to be a certain degree of duplicate effort for everything they roll out to all the platforms, so it's pretty certain that the established population is going to be favored, if anything.

Ahh, you mean the console version is supposed to be the long awaited exploration?
September 6th in the US, September 7th in Europe. I find it very strange, from a marketing perspective, that they wouldn't officially announce STO's release date until the day it actually releases. I doubt this is the best strategy to gain media attention.

Besides the Consoles are going to end up behind the PC version. They even said this.
Like I said in a thread, after the Great Connie Caper, not really expecting anything wild.
Most likely just a Tribble.
Admiralty "Cards" are the new Tribbles, they take a lot less effort.
Beta, LTA, CE, Multiple preorder Versions, all Addon Packs except AoY, nearly all KDF/Rom and ~50% of all Fedships, over 25 LockboxShips, Endurer of Atari's "Year of Hell", but...
We are unwanted stepchildren. To be sent off to boarding school and forgotten. Daddy has a NEW family now.

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
I would like to get the TOS bridge crew used for the convention reward for the 50th since most players cant make to a specific location in the world to get it.

How's that work btw? I made it out to the Cherry Hill convention. And have a few cool photos from my time there (one with Bill Shatner even). How do I let Trendy know so I can obtain this reward? I sent a message via the forums (with the photo attached) but am not sure the forums are the best way to get in touch.
Anyone else do this? Am I doing it wrong? There's a lot of motivation for me to get those BOFFs on my AoY character. It'd be kind of perfect.

I am honestly shocked and kinda upset that we are not going to get anything for tomorrow's 50th, yeah ok it may still happen but hello where is the blog to get people excited.
I feel let down in a way tbh, it seems like everything has been console this console that. .

Of course! We can't expect anything less than a few hours of maintenance on the 50th anniversary!

Or just re-release the IDIC Tribble to coincide with the console launch, like they did with the launch in the EU years ago.
KDF: 2 tacs, 2 engs, 3 scis
KDF Roms: 3 tacs, 1 eng, 1 scis
FED: 2 tacs, 1 eng, 2 scis
TOS: 1 tac
all on T5 rep (up to temporal)
all have mastered Intel tree (and some more specs Points)
highest DPS: 60.982
~looks for something heavy to throw~
You mean like the Shatner/Reeves-Stevenseseses books, where Spock visits his grave on Veridian III and the Borg beam his corpse away?

Looks like people were right not to get their hopes up for this once only opportunity!

Yep! Welcome to Perfect World, where disappointment and lock boxes set the depressive tone. :P
And they wonder why we are such Ebenezer Scrooges...
