The Infinity Lock Box is returning on PC tomorrow, and bringing with it Tier 6 Tholian Ships!
On top of that, both the Infinity Lock Box and the Emperor's Lock Box will be free in the C-store and Dil Store - as will all lock boxes going forward.

Not only that, Players will be able to do the same annoying subsytem multitargeting. lol

For those that do try the boxes, good luck. Hopefully it will be better than mine.
Edit: Tribble patch notes say that the console and trait are going to be Lobi 'equipment pack' for KDF, so nevermind then.
What do you mean that lock boxes will be free in C-Store and Dil Store?
Where you can now 'buy' Lockboxes is the Dilitium Store Special Items Tab. The current Lockbox is there in blocks of 20 for 200 Dilitium (or less depending on your current Fleet Dilitium Discount). They will now be 0 Dilitium there after this is implemented.
That is the Lockbox, you still have to acquire Keys to open them.

At this juncture, an aesthetic question arises. First, I suspect that like the two Tal Shiar ships, they will retain their 'old' hulls as an option - which makes me wonder if the Tarantula and Mesh Weaver will get an alternative model to match.
#LegalizeAwoo
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!"
OR
if maybe the Tholians are like "you Earthlings disgust us for many reasons... but, credit where it's due, your Earth-based "spiders" and ancient mythologies around them you're comparing us to are -as you often crudely say- "freaking kickass" and have become a required part of the education of our hatchlings."
Just as well, I was trying to save up my Dil to get the TOS movie outfits
Nice find *thumbs up*
Of course !
My Andorian main has all four current Tholians (internetz points for you if you're aware of the Andorian/Tholian connection) and I love them, especially as I'm keeping with the Tholian build theme. The Recluse is still one of my favorites that I'm comfortable with taking into any elite TFO. The Orbweaver a wicked sci boat which is hilarious with the webcannon. The Tarantula just dominates when it enters the map.
The announced T6 variants are indeed a pleasant surprise. \o/
The Mighty 44th. Boldly bashing Borgs to bits since 2010.
Or by the allied forces in WW2 for aircraft. As it shortens the time to report enemy forces when using reporting names than maybe their official designations from the original species/force.
IMO...same old T5 Recluse sold it as a boxed ship and PWE made a ton of money.
Now, no more ideas so grab same old ship designs...then copy paste and give it a different name then sell as a T6 and make some more money.
Just smells fishy and lazy work IMO.

Actually its not fishy. They're making updated versions that can compete more easily with other T6 ships that have Specialist seats. Added bonus is you can actually grab one for a fresh lv 1 character. Something you can't do with the T5. They've been updating T5 Lockbox/Lobi ships for a while while adding new ships. The advantage of a T6 version of a T5 like these is that its a bit easier to build due to having something to work on as a base. Most of the work is already done. They just need to work out specialist seating, trait, and updated visuals to distinguish it from the T5. We're still getting new ships as well.
How many times do people have to say that new Romulan ships ARE coming? Just because Discovery has no Romulans doesn't mean Cryptic has abandoned Romulans. There is no reference for Discovery Romulans. At all. Closest is the T'Liss, but that won't be seen until TOS.

Even if you put lipstick on a pig is still called a pig. A nicer pig of course but still the same.
To me just seems pure laziness to resell the same old stuff, even same consoles and just making minor tweaks. I guess a shiny is a shiny no matter what. Might as well throw the money in the trash and wait for a T7 version instead.

My god, imi not the only one using tholian ships on an andorian! 😊
Yeah seriously! there's not Romulans in Disc and THAT's why we haven't seen a Romulan ship in like a year!
Seriously people, forget those non disc recon destroyers, forget those non disc support cruisers, forget that the Disc Fed ships got current age skins as well, forget that centaur revamp (tho Im more willing to bet that was done in someones free time) and forget seeing T6 Tholian ships. All things not seen in Discovery either but the WHOLE reason we haven't seen a Romulan ship is because they're not in discovery! /shakes fist grrrr you discovery speed bump that seems to only stop Romulan (ok ok Jem'hadar as well) content from being created!
/SARCASM
but yeah they are 'working on Romulan ships' soon-tm and all that
I never get anything but junk out of those things either. I wish they would put the new ships in the z-store or vastly improve the chances of getting a ship choice thing out of those boxes, but in the meantime I have given up getting them for the miniscule chance of a ship too. It is a real shame since I have a "spider" motif character I would really like to put in a Tholian ship (especially a carrier or science ship).
Its one of those things that you have to realize your better off getting keys and buying one on the exchange, it makes them expensive as hell but if you open boxes chasing them your just dumping more $$.
I got SUPER lucky a month ago and got a t6 token from the infinity boxes, my first prize since I started in LoR, but I was only opening them for lobi to buy a console
