    The names for the Fed versions are nice: another famous 19th century SF author, and the 3D equivalent of the Mobius strip.

    And great Scott those trait names.

    If I'm reading this right, if I open a box and get a ship on a fed toon, I can send it over to a Rom or KDF toon and they will get a ship of their faction. If that is right, that is fantastic.

    I'm ambivalent about the consoles being usable on other ships, but this is great news overall; I've been saving EC and lobi ready for this.

    I do have a question, though: can we kitbash if we own both T5 and T6 versions? I've looked at the KDF TSV on tribble and was dismayed to see they've removed the "sideburns" at the front. Those were my favourite feature and I'd like to keep them, ditto with the wings, which are very distinctive.

    That's how I understood it too. Hoping we are correct because that will lower the prices on some of the KDF ships especially.

    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.

    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.

    What you get, is the ability to use the T5 skins on the T6 ships.
    Wil the Aeon Skin work on Rom and Kdf versions of these ships?

    Isn't that the shuttle? If so, then the shuttle skins will not work on ships. If there is a T6 version of the shuttle, then the costume from the T5 shuttle should work on the T6 shuttle.

    The Aeon shuttle skin does work on the T5 Wells and Mobius.

    Neat! I didn't know that was available to use on the the actual ships. That makes me want a shuttle now. :P To the Exchange! :D

    So the upgrades to the original Temporal ships don't get a Commander Temporal seat and the Molecular Reconstruction abilities? The Husnock Warship has one and that's ok but these can't have them? This is wrong in so many ways, especially after it took this long to get the T6 versions. I really hope the "this is subject to change" note is used and these are given the seating they should have. I'm not even upset that the Lobi ships don't get unique heavy weapons, just give the ships the right seating and abilities.

    I've brought this up before, though as a purchasable upgrade (in the vein of the existing T5->T5U); there's really no good reason this should not be available as an option. To complement that would be a facility of turning in existing Tipler Cylinders and Manheim Devices (along with some dil) for their upgraded versions.

    This aside, the changes to how these boxes work appear solid (though I think they should take a cue from Grinding Gear Games and disclose the odds), and I definitely approve of the Verne- and Klein-class ships (AKA 'Wells-kai ni' and 'Mobius-kai ni' (reference)... though I do wonder how customizable those base hull patterns are (for example: can you make the orange swatch on the Klein match the rest of the hull?). And... if the Klein does have a Terrran hull pattern option, will it be the red/white v2 pattern instead of the classic grey/yellow?

    “Tier 5 Ship” and “Secondary Ship” boxes will be combined into a single pack.

    So now the T5 booby prizes are pegged against the T5 Lockbox prizes? So, newbies that missed out on a Secondary prize ship during a lockbox run now have to pay around 10x (going by post-announcement prices on the Exchange) to get it later.

    It also means that Mirror ships with no upgrade path and 9 console slots, and Secondary prize ships starting at 9 console slots with a pay option T5-U ships to 10, are now in the same box as Lockbox ships with free upgrade to T5-U to 11 console slots, a Universal console and usually a gimmick and better BOff layout, which doesn't sound right.

    On the opener side, while the package won't eventually go to 0, it will however continue to drop as more of the T5-U Lockbox ships are gone and it readjusts to being the T5 booby prize price, which was around 2 Mil prior to this announcement. Not something I'd figure on being particularly compelling to box openers that factor in prizes that aren't the grand-prize (I know I do), at least once even more of the T5-U Lockbox ships are gone.

    For the rest, pretty solid offering. I particularly like "All T6 Faction-specific ships are now contained within a tradeable secondary pack." I'm glad this will be running for a while.

    how about updating the phased tetryon weapons (from infinity LB) by removing the character bind on pickup which appears to be random since there are phased tet on the exchange with the character bind instead of account bind on equip.

    Put ships in the gambling boxes in the C-Store as well so people can buy the ships they want OR gamble for a "free" one.

    I was kinda thinking we'd get a Commander Temporal/Sci and a second Lt/"specialty" (to replace the ensign seat)..

    I guess we shall wait and see.

    Excellent design on the Verne class. The model and skin texture is the best I've seen out of you guys and I'm very impressed. Great work!

    These should have the Molecular deconstruction beam at least though and preferably a commander temporal operative.

    I'm ok about the lt Commander seat, as long as there is a molecular deconstruction beam.... or vice versa...

    ...also can the new ones use the old skins, cuz the new designs are kinda fugly.
    From the article:
    For players that own the existing T5 versions of these ships, or other ships that included visual unlocks for them, those same options will be added to those available on these T6 starships, allowing for additional customization!
    I believe this answers your question in the affirmative, sir. This probably includes the ability to 'cross-dress' - the Mobius and Wells can use each other's patterns if you own both; this might also be the case for the Verne and Klein... and might well extend to the T5 ships. In other words, if you own all four, the Verne can use the Mobius' and Klein's patterns, and the Klein can use the Wells' and Verne's patterns.

    On another note, the Klein's default pattern makes it look like it wouldn't be too out of place in The Spy who Loved Me... well, insofar as coloration, anyways.

    Great...new content you can't get unless you gamble a good $50-$100... I will wait and pay the player's price on exchange...and not the chance price.

    Looks like the new science ships'll come with their own model of the Omega 13. Wonder if it'll come with the rumor of catastrophic backfire if used.

    And the other should be "Outatime". I can give it a pass though. Super happy about these and the work that was put into them.

    They really need the molecular deconstruction beam though.
