    Hmmm... I wonder if the Admiralty stats change between the T5 and T6 S'golths...
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    I'm guessing it's the same ships and stats as found in the Kelvin Timeline Lockbox.

    Most of the article is about the elachi ship updates. As for the kelvin ones, they're 1:1 from the kelvin lock box:

    I find this to be lazy and a bit insulting to be honest.I own the T5 versions of these which I payed for one way or another already.Now you come out with a T6 kitbashed version with beefed up stats that you want ppl to through their money at..pff wouldn't waste my time or money on your VLT boxes.Just wait till next year and they'll have a T7 version of all your T6 ships.lol

    Is Improved Crescent Wave Cannon a 2-piece or 3-piece set? It says 2-piece but lists 3 pieces and shows a 3-piece bonus.

    What I'm curious about is:

    What is the correct trait for the Ornash Battlecruiser?

    The blog says:
    Subspace Reinforcements (Starship Trait)

    While this trait is slotted, activating Boarding Party or any Command Ability will cause your starship to summon an Elachi Support Craft to aid you in battle for 30 seconds. You may have up to 3 Support Craft supporting you at a time.

    However, that is NOT what the in-game version says:
    Subspace Reinforcements (Starship Trait)

    Creates a level 60 Elachi Support Craft for 30 seconds after taking a large amount of damage.
    (You may have up to 2 Elachi Support Craft active at a time)
    This one, I'm more likely to believe, is the true one since it's in-game and the reward pack even details the proper requirements: More than 15% HP lost in 3 seconds.

    Could a dev clarify which is the correct requirement and edit the incorrect one?

    I like the current one. Who actually ever uses Boarding Party or Command skills? Keep it how it is and avoid making it a totally dead on arrival trait.
    Is Improved Crescent Wave Cannon a 2-piece or 3-piece set? It says 2-piece but lists 3 pieces and shows a 3-piece bonus.

    It's a 3 piece. If you equip 2 it won't take your shield offline and if you equip 3 then when you use the Sheshar console the summoned pet will get a CWC attack.

    As has been suggested elsewhere, a another form of upgrade token applicable to the T5(U) versions players already have would be a perfectly reasonable addition to the game.

    You must be new to STO. There WON'T be a new tier of ships dude. The T5 has been here from day one and T6 has been here for just under two years. They are updating the ships to compete with the Z-market. And that is because no one is buying the keys needed to unlock them like they used to. If there is a Z ship that does what you want great it is an account unlock. But a Box ship is one of a kind and if you want it for all of your toons you need to spend money. You know the stuff that the devs need to keep this game running?

    What happened to the usual master key sale accompaning the infinity lockbox? Sad. :'(

    So the consoles and pc version have the same ships but with different stats and traits? Xbox ornash consoles 3 tac 4 engi 4 sci! PC or ornash has 4 tac 5 engi 2 sci????? Also the traits are called the same but according to description are working highly differently?

    It seems to be a mistake in the console description. The PC version is the correct one according to the wiki and what I have on the test server, for both the trait and the consoles.

    Anybody know if the new Elachi ships unlock a new hull material? Thinking about getting them to upgrade consoles for my Sheshar...if there's also a hull material unlock, that would add some appeal.

    The Sheshar does not, as of when I checked a bit ago, get an unlock from the new tints. I'd expect them to add it later on and it was just missed because all the Temporal lockbox/lobi ships can all share hull patterns so the Elachi ones should as well.
