I was wondering if it was possible to STO to make it where maybe you can earn key fragments to earn keys. For example maybe to make one key you would have to earn like 10 key fragments and it takes maybe 5 days to earn 10 key fragments (2 per 20 hours). I don't feel this will take away from people buying lockbox keys. This does however adds more playing value and rewards players for playing. idk just an idea or suggestion. Maybe the devs will actually look into this. thanks guys.

But there are already 2 existing ways to earn key fragments:
- Earn dil. Refine the dil. Got to the Dil Exchange and trade it for Zen. Buy keys from the C-Store.
- Earn Energy Credits. Go to the Exchange. Buy keys for EC.
As much as I would love another means of getting keys besides spenind 5 mil on the Exchange or buying with zen... I don't see it happening.
If they add something like this, it would likely be per account like you suggest. They could add a low % chance for a key from the endeavor system since it's account wide. No account can earn more than 3 reward packs a week so with that limitation in place they could make maybe a 1 in 500 chance at a key per reward. 3 boxes per week with 5 rewards per box would be a 3% chance at a key per week. If they want to be extra safe about it, they could make these keys bound to account. Giving away an average of 1.5 keys per year to players isn't out of the realm of possibility.
SWOTOR, just sells a plethora of different 'Lockboxes'. No keys necessary.

Avoid converting Dil to Zen during ship sales and key sales.
I know, previous poster already said this. But it bears repeating. Lock box (or rather, the keys to open them) is a big chunk of income for them.
Remember Klingon Ice Fishing during the Winter Event? There you could earn Collectable Fragments, you get enough you go to the Holiday Vendor and turn them in for a Holiday Ornament.
Good job at making a new poster feel right at home on these Forums.

Last Summer we had a lack-luster Featured Episode Rerun Event - no Lobi drop at all. They said that the guy that did the Lobi drop mechanism to begin with (once per Account per day when you played one of the Featured Episodes) was no longer with Cryptic and they didn't know how to implement it without him.

K, thx. Too bad, though: even 60 Lobi is almost 1/3rd piece of Lobi equipment.
