There are a few items that look somewhat interesting.. the ship not being one of them. That thing looks like you're flying an apartment complex.. no thanks.
What I am REALLY waiting for is all the new Romulan oriented goodies that are likely to come with this season of Picard.
I'll save up during this lock box and go for the next one.
I'm so with you on that line of thinking. I have such high hopes....
If you are looking for an excellent PvE fleet consider: Omega Combat Division today.

New Borg stuff for LTS would be nice, but honestly I would settle for a retouch on the existing bits so they'll mix'n'match better with the new suit assets.

So if I convert my zen to keys I'll be around 275m. I could buy and sell a lobi ship too but that's just getting me to the low end of what this might cost. Wonder if I'm better off just opening boxes.
What's that you say, DOC can proc FBP now? Yeah...PvP whine incoming. Depending on the proc rate...strength through unity doffs looks tempting...especially on MW ships. Holy jeebus do they have a hard on for MW ships lately with things to boost those. The borg plasma that has an innate damage bonus vs a proc seems good too...too bad it is beams only. And a uni orbital bombardment kit...k. Overall...might spend a few mil on some of the doffs to play with. Might get the kit if it becomes cheap. I would have gotten a set of those plasma weapons had they not been beams only. But yeah...good chance this whole box is a pass for me...but that is true of most boxes if I am being honest.
Don't think so. PvP is so long dead nobody even remembers where we dumped the body.
Anyone know if the lobi costume is captain only? Or can it be used by BOFFs too?
Probably won't know until it comes out, but this is a VERY important question. I really wish they would just allow boffs to use every uniform / costume option available to captains.
Here is how dollars to EC works out and the prices of lockbox/promo ships.
Bear in mind, this is all based on the idea that you should always BUY the ships on the exchange, NOT gamble to get them by opening boxes. That said,
As mentioned in my last post, you get a better return selling promo packs than keys, so my numbers will be based on promo packs, no keys.
When on sale, you can get 4 promo packs for 800 zen. Promo packs currently sell for 18mil on the exchange.
Just as a rough estimate, let's say lockbox ships sell for 500mil and promo pack ships sell for 1.25bil.
So for lockbox ship: 500mil / 18mil = 28. This would mean you would need to buy 28 promo packs to resell for 500mil. So 28/4 = 7, and 7 x 800 zen = 5,600 zen= $56.
For promo pack ships: 1.25bil / 18mil = 70. This means you would need to buy 70 promo packs to resell for 1.25bil. So 70 / 18, and 18 x 800 = 14,400 zen = $144.
So at the moment lockbox ships are around $56 and promo pack ships are around $144.

Master keys have most certainly not stayed steady over the last year, theyve gone up from their old price of around 4 mil to the new standard fluctuating near 6 mil.
And there has been some inflation with lockbox ships, 450 to 500 was generally the max for most of last year but it started to rise up to 600 mil.
Promo ships and RnD bundles have stayed about the same though, though RnD prices fluctuate based on if the promo is being sold at the time or not.
Master keys have most certainly not stayed steady over the last year, theyve gone up from their old price of around 4 mil to the new standard fluctuating near 6 mil.
They are quite high right now, but that has not been the average. When I last sold keys last month, they went for 4.4M.
Just want to leave a heads up that the exoskeleton uniform doesnt unlock for boffs.
Well, any chance at all of me getting it just evaporated. I have zero interest in captain-only outfits, and the only use I had currently thought of for it was for my Romulan's Liberated Borg Engineering Boff.
Well as a cautionary tale I will post my lockbox experience here.
Spent 5500 zen, 100,000,000 ec, and $15 on master keys trying to get the command juggernaut. I did not win the juggernaut. I should have just sold keys but I decided to test my luck. Don't gamble kids.

Seems very interesting, Box ships with multiple seats can shine even more. Glad all Cmd ships are becoming even more....useful with the suggested powers to use on them.
Though the career ones are good.

There's been a steady inflation that continues that began last year on much of STO's economy & currencies, sadly.
Lockbox Ships, Promo Ships, Master Keys and R&D Bundle Prices have stayed steady for the past year or even slightly declined on average.
I am buying ships and selling resources for the same amount that I did last year with only a few exceptions.

We'll see if they stay where they are now.
Liberated borg romulan also cannot use the helmet.

Yeah, this is pretty disgusting.

8/10 overall, would buy again. Also, the higher polygon budget is, uh... very flattering.

That's AMAZING news! When that happens I might actually get it on one or two of my characters.

Normally you would be right. But in this case it's a bind on pickup item, meaning you can ONLY get it from the lobi store. No exchange purchases.
