    So - not sure why the blog posting talks so much about the TMP-era stuff when its only the ground items from there that are in the box! The rest is just a mish-mosh of random **** from all over the place. It's like they looked at their current existing in-game assets and said "what can we monetize and throw in there?" The "Undiscovered Lockbox" is a misnomer. It should be called "Random Star Trek Stuff" lockbox.

    I think that makes Undiscovered a good name, as in previously unknown instead of referencing Undiscovered Country. Also, they look to be including the ship mounted phasers from TWOK, they just didn't screen shot it.

    Those Assault Phasers... they sound like they may have visual similar to the WoK movie...

    *continues to dream*

    The Assault Phasers are from The Undiscovered Country, the black ones in the picture. The grey one at the top is from WoK.



    The assault phasers made their debut in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

    The pulse phasers made their debut (but were never fired in the final cut) in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. They were the direct successors to the Original Series-era Phaser I and Phaser II.


    The compression phaser, I suspect, will turn out to be the phasers seen in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.

    Here's to hoping the lobi NX will stick around for a while. And, let my EC farming begin!!

    Lobi ships never go away.

    That makes me think it's possible you might be able to use the regular NX skin if you own that ship at least.

    The non-refit NX model is updated, it has been on the test server since December, and Thomas confirmed it on Twitter today.

    Maybe.. the Fed Dread can use the Excelsior Skin; the KDF Dread the K't'inga Skin and the Lobi NX the Miranda Skin? :p

    Don't worry, the CBGC©® (Comic Book Guy Consortium) will make it their mission to ensure that the T6 NX will be above 450 million EC at it cheapest. They've done a pretty good job of keeping the KT Heavy Command Crusier at and above the 430s.

    They take their solemn duties very, very seriously. ;)

    The KT HCC is 350+, not 430+.

    Actually I think, based on the pic of the ground weapons we got, that the Compression Phaser is actually the WoK model.

    Then it reduced about 80 million from late yesterday.

    Lobi stuff has been known to go away for about a week or so recently when Cryptic added new items to the Lobi Store. After adding items from Infinity, the next Lockbox/Lobi release has caused that Infinity addition to dissappear until Cryptic fixed it. It is like they are adding the new stuff to the -1 version of the Lobi Store and releasing that.

    Happened with the T6 Jem'hadar Heavy Escort Carrier. That mistake had the exploiters jack up prices into the 700s for that week.

    I imagine that post will be updated soon to include imagery for the Zambean outfit. Also, yet another example of a spacesuit that needs its own tailor options (yes, they'd have to 'live' in their own category like the TFO battledress).

    I will say it's really too bad you guys couldn't work a deal with the Franz Joseph Estate and get the rights to use his design (from the Star Trek Technical Manual (circa. 1975)) for the original 3 nacelle TOS era Dreadnaught design.

    there's another ship I would have paid to own in game.

    That is disappointing. To me, THIS will always be the Classic Series version of a Federation Dreadnaught starship. How does his estate own the rights to a Star Trek ship? Especially, since it's based off of a design by Matt Jeffries who designed that while working under contract for Gene Roddenberry and Desilu. That's kind of odd.

    I guess the question of the day is whether the Lobi NX Escort Refit can use the classic NX hull?

    @ambassadorkael#6946 , any comments on this?

    Dammit. :( I was really hoping the new NX was gonna be a C-store ship.

    There's no way I'm spending that kind of money on a single-character unlock.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Will these ships have unique interiors, especially the NX-class Refit ship, to have either the NX-01 Enterprise interior or the NX-02 Columbia interior? That would help push me toward getting it.

    Also, are there any plans on getting the interiors from The Motion Picture, Wrath of Khan, and like Undiscovered Country anytime in the near future? Asking as I'm a very big fan of the Wrath of Khan USS Enterprise interior.

    Basically I'm right there with you on this one.....however between putting it in the R&D promotion packs which I feared and this, I must say this came as a relief. At least it has a fixed price, even though it is steep - I know how much it will cost me to obtain one rather than playing the lockbox lottery or exchange dabo (buying it from the Ferengi on the exchange).

    I only need to know it it's able to use the standard NX hull, cause that ship I love - this one....ugh... :s

    That is what I was hoping for when I read dread as well. I would have been interested in it if it was the 3 nacelle TOS dread.

    Who needs OLD stuff and where is the BORG box?

    Actually TNG IS the old stuff now.

    All those TNG ships have been superceded by new Cryptic ships like the Odysseys.

    Now you all know what the TOS fans had to deal with.

    Lockbox and lobi ships pretty much always have a bridge though, so we should get at least that for the NX

    Can we use the environmental suite as a uniform too plz? It's basically used like a uniform in II without the helmet.

    Edit: nm, found it, way to half-as$ things guys ... it's also ridiculous that I have to do a Google search to find some random post on reddit instead of getting the information from the official forums ...

    That devalues the ship then. I sure hope they don't expect 800 Lobi for it if it doesn't come with a unique bridge.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,569 Arc User
    That's 900 Lobi (it is T6).

    Considering the 23rd Cen. Dreadnaughts I was really hoping that Cryptic would've made Klingon and Romulan versions of Agents of Yesterday.

    With the focus of the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire in those days (with their own T1-T5 ships with 26th Cen. versions of those ships) these two sided (at one point or another) with the vengeful Envoy and later would switch sides and become Temporal Agents as they get involved in events in the Temporal Cold War.

    It would have had the Iconian War as part of it's story line, such as how the Iconians came to know of Romulans.
    And we could have found out about how there was a connection between Daniels and the Envoy.

    Oh well.

    I literally want everything except the costumes in this box. I'll be handing over a weeks pay or so. I can't wait to see in game footage of the pulse phasers. Will there be a chance to skin the NX refit as the original NX ship?
  • thetaninethetanine Member Posts: 1,367 Arc User
    Who the hell is the director of marketing at Cryptic? Better yet, get this person to a drug rehab ASAP. Who in their right mind would buy any of this TRIBBLE?

    A flower pot on my head. Nope.
    A bullseye on my chest. Nope.
    A D-9? Ktinga, Ktinga, Ktinga. Nope.
    A Romulan impulse ship made to look like a D'deridex? NOPE!

    I bet you guys voted for Donald Trump too, didn't you?

    updated how?? I'm assuming you're talking about the NX-01, -02, near identical models...

    I believe he means new higher poly model for STO
