    GREAT NEWS!!!
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    So...what does that mean for owners of the Wells and Moebius T-5U starships? I'm thinking the fair thing to do is give us free upgrades to those ships we busted out asses to get.

    This console mod can be equipped on any starship. Only one of these consoles may be equipped on a ship at a time. This cannot be true . some kind of mistype right backstep on any ship? correct this

    Same thing as previous T5->T6 box/lobi ship updates, our consoles get better (passive buff and can be used across any ship.)

    I will never be a fan of the Gamble Boxes. I prefer systems where I know what I'm paying for.

    It means "Welcome to obsolescence" and "buy more keys to gamble for a slim chance at the newer shinier better version of what you had!"

    Pretty awesome, right?

    I agree. An occasional updating of the Infinity-everything offerings is great & these newest inclusions: Temporal Science Vessels & Destroyers are all spiffy.

    Picking 1 of each per faction I like the designs/looks of the: Verne more than the Klein, Chargh’poH more than the Qul’poH, & Sui'Mor more than the Tal’aura.

    My favorite is that Chargh'poH, imo, it just looks wicked for the design & color scheme.

    Well done on all 6 ships! Well done on the Infinity additions too. Now only if you would increase the odds of winning or better yet publish the gambling percentages.

    As of the release of this updated to the Infinity Lock Box, the special Consoles associated with these starships are no longer ship-restricted, but may instead be used on any starship you own. This includes both the newly “Enhanced” versions of these consoles obtained from the new T6 ships, as well as existing versions obtained from the T5 versions of these ships.
    Oh boy...
    Temporal shenanigans for everyone and their past and future selves! My Valkis will appreciate getting more temporal goodness, thanks.

    And the T6 versions are beauties.
    Though, which "Klein" does the T6 Mobius refer to? I hope it's Étienne and not the WW2 war criminal Fritz (though since it's a Mirror ship, that wouldn't surprise me).

    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"

    The new Fed Temporal ships look awesome - my only wish, and I know that's all it will ever be, would be to be able to use the Wells or Verne skins on the Mobius or Klein (or vice versa) if both of the applicable ships are owned - for example, I love the stats of my Mobius but I think the Wells (which I also own) is better looking, so my perfect scenario here would be to be able to get the Klein and slap the Wells skin on it.

    I just melted!!!, I need a lot of lobi!!!!... i'm so happy!!!, and I have all the T5-U versions and I'm not complaining!! :wink:

    Does this mean that there'll be a change in the Admiralty system, when it comes to rarity? Considering the shift in rarity of ships/availability?

    Oh, you mean the woman who later became Praetor after Shinzon died?

    Someone has probably bought all the Vonphs now to re-sell them at higher prices.

    Anyway, this is fantastic news even though I no longer have an Acheros or Vonph.

    Combining the blue packs with old T5 ships is also nice - the Palisade for example is weirdly expensive right now and that will probably change after this update.

    I'm also very happy to see the N'Kaam being brought to the new pack. I've been sitting on a couple of the blue boxes for a long time now because most ships weren't that interesting to me - except for some Admiralty cards for my Romulan but otherwise saving them until the Lukari ship would be added :)

    Wait-Has this always been the case for the T5->T6 updates? If so I'll be tweaking some builds...

    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.

    Excellent skin designs for the Fed and Rom variants!

    Prefixes included is definitely nice, though hoping the 'None' option is also available.

    Sad they haven't added singularity core for the warbirds and cloaks of any kind on the non-feds.

    Also only LtC Temporal on hero temporal ships is sad.

    A lot of great news here, and I love the ship traits and the references they contain. Brilliant.

    I'll tend to agree this is a missed opportunity to make these full Temporal ships with the mechanic...but still the stats are nice.

    Hi, Kael, Borticus --

    Why, oh WHY, on a specifically Temporal Science Ship, would you NOT have a Commander Temporal station?

    Indeed, on the paradigmatic Temporal Ship - the one that started it all?

    Now is the right time to exercise the "NOTE: The above stats for all ships are subject to change" clause you always include in your ship descriptions. Please fix this!

    Thank you!

    I like the Infinity Lock Box changes, and the T6 Temporal ships. It is only too bad they don't have access to Commander Temporal Spec BOff seat. Still, major props for the Back to the Future love in reference to the Starship traits.

    You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.

    That's not fairness you're clamoring for that's entitlement you're seeking. It hasn't been done for any other T5 ships that had a T6 version released neither.
