    I would have one wish regarding the temporal bridge - for ages now, there has been this one curved corridor that you couldn't enter - the reason, of all things, being an INVISIBLE WALL. You know, the things that devs sometimes put around the edges of the map to confine players withing the game area, so that they don't get to places where they are not supposed to go.

    Would it PLEASE be possible to block it with a locked door or something?

    Also +1 on temporal abilities, warp core abilites, and cloaks where appropriate.

    I do wonder how having formally segregated prizes in the same tier now will affect the statistics of winning & losing.

    Also, just like after the introduction of re-engineering I wonder how this will affect Exchange prices with even more inflation. Sure one can state players determine prices, but that is only partially true. The availability, variety, & pace of items entering the game help determine pricing too. That is initially determined by Cryptic then followed by the players mostly those "whale" players.

    Yup...leaving more new content to chance and in the control of the "whale" base. The C-Store is where this ship belongs.

    Anyone know if the Rift Stabilizer console from the Paradox will be similarly unlocked? Because the 3-piece set bonus from running all three 29c consoles (Temporal Acceleration) is HUGE, especially in PvP.

    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.

    HELL YES.... This is the first thing that came into my head, I spent MONTHS! Struggling to get both of those ships and then they bought out T6 ships, and now they bring the T6 version out. I have already bought a new Andorian Pilot Escort to replace the T5U variant of that. Just would seem fair wouldn't it?

    "We’re making some changes to the Infinity Lock Box prize tables in preparation for this full-length appearance. Our hope is that these changes will streamline the box’s contents a bit, and allow players to more easily claim the prizes they want when opening the many Choice Packs contained within the Infinity Lock Box".

    Focus on the bit highlighted in bold, I doubt we would get what we want even after opening over 200 of those lock box's. I have had people in my fleet spend so much money opening these blasted things to not get a single ship. The drop rate is far to low for what your offering.

    As others mentioned, just one Lt-Commander Temporal Ops station and no Molecular Reconstruction for the upgrade of THE official timeship in the franchise and its counterparts... That feels like a big mistake, kinda how the T6 Excelsior couldn't get the "Fly her apart" ability.

    +1

    Seems crazy that a Temporal mechanic exists in the game and yet the only actual canon Temporal starship in Trek (and its various counterparts) don't have it.

    With the somewhat lack of temporal mechanics, I'd almost hope this is some sort of odd april fools joke using real stuff in a fake post.

    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.

    Everyone wins!
    Indeed, sir. As I've pointed out elsewhere, this Grinding Gear Games does something similar with their boxes in Path of Exile: the box is available for a limited time, and a few weeks after that, the contents drop into the store.

    I caught that, too... then chuckled at the idea that the typo actually 'fits' given where the Klein hails from.

    And as for what megacharge07 and others point out, I would have to agree: as an evolution of the canonical timeship, the Verne should have the hybrid seating at commander rank.

    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.

    With "skin" in this context, you probably mean the ship material?

    It might be unclear who is referring to what. The shuttle costumes in the sense of their geometry parts are not interchangeable with the ships, but the materials might be. (I seem to remember that the Paradox could get access to timeshuttle materials.)

    Originally, I thought the person meant the actual skin as in, the particular design. Most T5 ships have subtle differences between their T6 variants. So the T5 ship skin/look/costume, or whatever you want to call it usually doesn't apply when there is a significant difference in the size and design of the ship. Otherwise, I'd slap an Akira costume on the NX and fly around in an upside down ship! :D When they pointed out the ship in their signature, I realized they meant the hull type effect.

    Yeah this really needs the molecular deconstruction beam and commander temporal op. This is a major let down. Really loving the model and skin though, but it/we need the proper temporal functionalities for a ship of this pedigree.

    Special Note: 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.

    @ambassadorkael#6946 Does this mean all lockbox ship special consoles? Or just the temporal ones?

    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.

    They are probably saving it for the T7 version.

    I'm not sure how long a long time is. The only thing I have seen confirmed is that there won't be any T7 ships for the launch of Season 14.5.

    Yeah tbh, when I was thinking of the T6 Wells/Verne, I was assuming commander Temp op, and Deconstruction beam. There's really no good excuse for this not having those on the timeship of all timeships.

    Probably a stupid question but I have an Infinity Prize Pack: T6 Ship now (unopened) and what I want to ask is will this pack be updated to the new one if I keep it or will it stay the same and the new infinity pack: T6 ship will be completely separate from the current infinity prize pack: T6 ships (if that makes sense)

    OK...I am getting confused. Infinity Box used to be things from the old Lockboxes.

    But they are updating it by putting in Never Sold Before NEW stuff? What happens to the old stuff?

    I like buying those Mirror ships for Admiralty cards....where are those going?

    Cryptic's been slowly updating all the old T5 lockbox ships to T6 and releasing them through the Infinity Box. We now have T6 Tal Shiar Adapted ships, T6 Cardassian ship, T6 Jem'Hadar ships, T6 Xindi ships, and T6 Temporal Science ships. Next up is either the Hirogen or Tholian ships.

    The Mirror ships will still be available. All they did was consolidate the various ship tier boxes into two. So instead of having two different quality T6 boxes we have one, and instead of having T5 prize ship box and T5 secondary prize ship boxes, its all in one.
