Phoenix lock box to drop recruit rewards ?

I missed out on the temporal agent recruit event last year that unlocks the superior versions of some of the traits. Any chance of shoving them as a prize unlock in the phoenix box ? or a re-run ?

    Probably not.

    I'm sure they can find a way to monetize it

    No and no.

    I'd absolutely love if it happened, but....it almost certainly won't.

    I would like it better if they offered a Delta or Temporal transponder in the Phonics Box Store. It just needs the same restrictions the originals needed:

    1. Anyone but a TOS character can get a Delta.
    2. TOS characters only can get a Temporal.

    This is not a game-breaker, as gear rewards stop at Mk X, marks fall like candy, Dil falls like candy anyway with Admiralty, etc. And those that want the rewards can EARN them, just like when Delta/Temporal was more or less current.

    I actually love this idea. I rolled characters for both recruitment events so far, and probably will in the future, despite probably having too many as it is. But I'd love the chance to get some of my older characters the recruitment rewards without having to roll another toon.

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    If they do this, then it will be an Epic reward.

    I could live with that as well. It would still infuse the winning character with a TON of dilithium in a reasonably short amount of time. I know there's not a shot in hades of it happening, but I can dream...

    Maybe ultra-rare. Either way, I know my bad luck would never get them, and I'm strangely OK with that.

    You can't get a Recruit just by giving a regular character the rewards trinket. It must have been created with the Recruit data.

    That might not be true. With the Delta Recruitment event, we had to talk to a certain character in the tutorial. The Temporal Agent Recruitment event required us to reach the 25th Century and talk to a certain contact on ESD. So if a person created a TOS Starfleet character during the event, but didn't get to ESD until after the event, then they missed out. It might be as simple as changing a variable on the character's data to become a Delta or Temporal Recruit. There is also the possibility that Delta and Temporal Recruits require two variables of the character is created during the event and the contact is authorized to give the Tesseract Communications Receiver or Temporal Transponder instead of just one variable of the contact is authorized to give the Tesseract Communications Receiver or Temporal Transponder.

    Another issue is how it would work. To do it properly, it has to be a new character to get the contact in the tutorial. So that would require the reward to be an account token that we can use in the character creation screen. It doesn't matter for TOS Captains since it can be mailed to them while they are in the 23rd Century assuming there is a mailbox in the 23rd Century.

    I have to admit the ones from Miracle Worker and Command are nice too have the Superior versions.

    I'd just never found much use for Pedal to the Metal as I don't fly many Pilot ship's perhaps except for my Romulan's.

    I never did understand the purpose behind the trait used for Temporal - like when does anybody want to be flying in reverse at really slow speed - you'd take far more damage being so easy to hit than anything you negated from the trait?

    Same make them UR or Epic and I would happily burn my dil np xD. Superior pedal gives an extra 10% cat 2, that's 33% more then improved, but as others have mentioned the others are pretty decent too

    Yes very good remark. Also add the Delta recruit consoles in it. Many new customers did not have the oppurtuntity to get those.

    The phoenix box was introduced to make things available for people who missed out on events etc. So would be in line to put those items in as rare, ultra rare or epic.

    And it would make Cryptic extra money.
