I'm guessing a Enterprise themed lockbox is next

jim625 · January 2017

Since the last two lockbox's we had where Kelvin Timeline along with sphere builder's and so I'm really hoping it's gonna be Enterprise lockbox next. Although it could be the Tzenkethi lockbox since season 12 is gonna be mostly about them.

risian4 · January 2017

Actually, we already had Enterprise lockboxes: two even, the Xindi ones.

And most of the other stuff is already in the C-store. If we're going to see something Enterprise-related, I hope it will be a Founders of the Federation box but I doubt we'll see that in the next season.

I think it'll be the Tzenkethi or maybe the Vorgons?

oh yeah forgot about the xindi lockbox ^^;

Idk if the next will be tzenkethi idk exactly what were getting box wise but it usually goes we get the new bad guy then the box , we havent gotten tzenkethi yet so it may be another temporal themed box, then after the tzenkethi are released then we get a tzenkethi box.

Think how the herald box was released first we got the iconians and once alot of people sarted wanting the iconian ships we got the box, i expect the same pattern to continue 1st we get the new big bads people start wanting their ships then we get the tzenkethi box.

It won't be the Tzenkethi lockbox. Back when the Nakuhl were introduced as the new bad guys we did not get playable Nakuhl ships at the same time. We got the Kelvin lockbox. The next lockbox is almost certainly gonna be an Enterprise themed lockbox and the one after that the Tzenkethi lockbox.

This 100% ^^^

So people are basing this on the NX refit needing a way to be sold to the players?

It's been months since the episode launched and I still have trouble seeing that 'r'.

nickcastleton · January 2017

TBH i think a t6 enterprise would most likely be shoved in a R&D box like the t6 connie

nikeix · January 2017

If we're going by existing sales models, the NX-refit would be a Federation-only Lobi store ship like the Vengeance. At which point the rest of the box contents could be almost anything.

Unless I'm totally overlooking the Romulan and KDF counterparts it would need to be grouped with to be used in a three-way grand prize pack like the KT T6s.

Enterprise style release. We could see Phase pistols and shuttle pods. But most of the ships themselves have come out now haven't they?

I think so, yes. And there isn't much tech that could be turned into kit abilities or training manuals either. Doffs are almost entirely out of the question of course.

Basically the only things that appeared in Enterprise that aren't either Starfleet or Xindi-related, are either long dead or hardly relevant anymore. Or they're already in the game.

That's why I would prefer a Founders of the Federation box. That way we could for example get T6 Vulcan and Andorian ships, maybe even a T6 NX-01 for those who are interested. And it would be an opportunity to give the Tellarites, that other founder species, some attention. Without limiting the contents of the box to the Enterprise era, which doesn't have much interesting stuff remaining.

It's not much different, but the focus would be on more than just 'Enterprise era'.

risian4 · January 2017

Hm I immediately realised I have to somewhat correct my previous statement... Denobulans. Those could be added as doffs to a lock box. And we would have an awesome training manual for Boffs: Doctor Phlox' scary-face ability

And besides Tellarites, they could also focus on Rigellians.

While all romulan ships of that era are already out (drone and t6 tovaro) there is one klingon ship missing from STO the D4

The tiny BoP the Augments stole, the 22nd century BoP? The D5 Battlecruiser?

psycoticvulcan · January 2017

I really hope they don't stick the NX-class in a lockbox.

I've wanted one since I started playing STO but there's no way I'll throw away that kind of money for a single-character unlock.

The drone isn't flyable, though. Just a hangar pet. They could still add a flyable drone ship.

Still, I'm not looking forward to more faction-restricted lockboxes.

To inject a note of caution: Cryptic has also swung wildly to left field when it comes to lock boxes. See. Hirogen and Xindi. A revamped NX may be part of an ENT era lock box, OR it could be the next promo ship (with the next lock box being something completely unexpected) or indeed something else entirely that we don't know about.

I wouldn't start setting expectations quite yet, also on the subject of KDF/ROM vessels to pair with the NX. The Klingon D9 and Romulan Thrai warbird could still use a delivery method. Even though they aren't ENT era, Cryptic could simply go with a "temporal throwback" lock box/pomo and include a mix of ENT and TOS content (to finish off whatever they weren't able to ship with Agents of Yesterday and the K-13 holding.)

Basically, this is a time to be careful when considering what's coming up next. Details are scarce and it's not clear exactly where Cryptic is going with Reckoning (besides Tzenkethi blasting).

nikeix · January 2017

Maybe the nx refit will be the next utterly random "loyalty" reward. 50 people get them for who the hell knows why. Wouldn't that be just thrilling?

jorantomalak · January 2017

i no longer think any good T^s will be put in the c-store , the best ships will be placed in lock boxes or R&D packs, money grabbing is the name of cryptics game now.

You never know!

timbo2008 · January 2017

i dont care what box it is but it better have t6 tal shiar ships in it

rattler2 · January 2017

They could bring in the Ent era BoP and create an original design for the Romulans, like they did with the Kelvin box.

The Koro't'inga is only based on the ENT Battlecruiser. It's not the same ship. It's much flatter with an ovaloid 'head' and inwards angled nacelles.
