When will new ships be added to Lock Boxes?

Is there an expected time for this? I am assuming couple of weeks after the event, would that be wishful thinking? Lol. It would be cool to see a Miracle Worker Escort. Something different from the Maquis lol

    Usually a new lockbox is added to the game (replacing the "current" one) every few months, with a new ship in it. The old ships then get added to the Infinity Box a few weeks or months after that.

    However that's usually not announced until 7-14 days before it happens.

    I just tested today, doing a mission that have the option "current lockbox" and got Infinity Lockbox, so we dont have actualy a "current" lockbox, then, soon will be new one.

    i just hope it's something that FINALLY makes tetryon more than just usable (barely) but actually GOOD - they've already done polaron, plasma and antiproton, so tetryon is all that's left​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    nowhere near good enough - all the damage types i listed offer at least ONE thing that boosts damage in a significant way with their respective premier sets, like the set bonus on the morphogenic set, the guaranteed procs on crit, shipwide crit buff and 100% firing cycle haste clicky on the altamid set or the buff to the already guaranteed chaining of ba'ul weapons or the addition of guaranteed chains to non-ba'ul AP weapons, plus the 50% bonus (AKA category 2) AP damage clicky on the linked sentry set...the tzenkethi set does nothing like that​​

    Due to a 'stream exclusive' and totally not an accident, it looks like the next ship will come out at the same time as the Winter Event. T6 Synth Pilot Destroyer (from Picard) is being added to the Infinity Lockbox (instead of a new box?)

    They did the same thing with the Terran Disco Connie, so I'm starting to think maybe they're gonna stop doing standalone lockboxes and just update the infinity box instead, kinda like they've already been doing with the Promo Box for years (think that started when one of the newly released Promo ships was a complete flop?)

    Wow, now that is interesting & unexpected. Too soon to say whether good or bad, but I'm leaning towards better more than worse.

    Not really imo, we just had a queue that featured it so clearly the model was already done.

    Interesting that they chose to make it infinity box only instead of having it be its own box. Might have something to do with the poor performance of previous Picard items.

    They could also be future proofing easier to remove and replace 1 box and get everything then to remove dozen (or how many boxes we've had in the past).

    I meant the straight to Infinity treatment. When that TFO was an event I had already posted that we're probably bound to get that ship via a gamble method.

    As I said earlier though they just did the same thing with the Terran Connie, so maybe they are doing away with individualized boxes and will only be adding to the infinity box going forward .
