    Hmmm, maybe it is there but just wasn't included in the blog information. When you have a box hover over or right click "details". It will tell you if the ship is available or not. I expect it will be

    Spending zen on boxes without guarantees of ships in every box is a waste of zen, thanks, pass.

    I think the Connies/D7s should be in their own box. I feel that the other ships will never get chosen when billion EC ships are in the list. What are the chances the Elachi Sheshar gets picked vs an Enterprise? Even if you own the Enterprises and get a new box to choose, what will most people do, chose a new ship to fly or go for the 1+B payout?

    Shouldn't the title read "An extremely rare chance of the Enterprise and a whole lot of wasted Zen for the next 24hrs"

    I have a few captains who could use some good doffs so if they were in the doff boxes it might have been an incentive to break down and get them, but I am swimming in mats already so even with the vanishingly small chance to get the currently most popular ship it is a no-go for me.

    Likely because R&D packs don't sell at all unless there's a chance of getting something other than R&D materials out of them. I can imagine Doff boxes selling on occasion.

    The way Endeavors are throwing that stuff at us I am overflowing with Mats. I had to move about a dozen full stacks of Mats from the R&D inventory to the bank last night. R&D Inventory was completely full.

    Agreed.

    Which is why it's great that none of that is necessary.

    Well... I think it is time for Cryptic to face reality and admit that the number of Players buying those cash-crab-rng-minimum-drop-chance-boxes is continuously declining and more and more people stop buying them and because of this they are giving us more and more Discounts/Sales for them..!

    So... If you still want our and my money Cryptic… Make all those Ships as well as the Lockbox and Lobi ones obtainable through direct purchase or at least make them all account-wide unlocks.!! If so I and I think also quite a few other Players would gladly throw their money at you :tongue:

    Until then I and a continuously increasing number of Players will keep our money for ourselves :triumph: ..!


    Best regards

    Judging by the number of Discovery Enterprises I have seen in game.. the evidence does not appear to support that theory.

    The only thing we know for sure is that Cryptic is having a ridiculous number of Zen Store promotions.. why that is exactly is nothing but speculation, but judging by the sheer number of Discoprises I have seen in game, it definitely seems like the packs are selling.

    The 24 hour pop up is just a classic sales ploy to take advantage of those that felt regret once the original promotion ended and capitalize on their need to get one last chance at the ship.
