Is my Infinity Lock Box T6 Ship Token useless?

kayajaykayajay Member Posts: 1,990 Arc User
I've been saving a T6 Ship Token from an Infinity Lock Box for the last few weeks. I notice that on the Infinity Lock Boxes, it doesn't list Booker's Ship, but someone on ESD Chat told me that that was a bug being fixed today and that the ship was actually in there.

My plan was to save the token for a rainy day, so I logged onto Tribble, planning to open the box and test Booker's ship...but it's not there.

So, my question is...do only T6 Tokens from Infinity Boxes opened now allow you to get that ship? Are the Tokens defunct for anything new?

    Ah and another thing I did discover on Tribble is that when you open the Temporal T6's, you don't get a choice of the KDF or ROM versions. I have no idea if you can open them on FED if you use the Token on a different faction toon.

    Otherwise, so much for cross faction playable ships...

    They were abundantly clear you couldn't claim cross-faction lockbox ships.

    Tribble isn't always in sync with updates to the main game, and often lacks things recently added to boxes. Your box should have it on Holodeck, however.

    As for not seeing the options for faction choice, you need to unlock cross-faction flying on Tribble by logging into a lvl 65 KDF on it, as Tribble doesn't keep track of Holodeck C-Store unlocks (and the C-Store is disabled entirely there currently).

    I'd sit on the token a bit till you see someone with the ship, then PM them and ask if they got it from the infinity box.

    That's actually the opposite of what Kael said before cross-faction flying launched, according to him they should open into choice packs like the TOS era Dreadnoughts do now ... unfortunately though, after going through these forums, two Twitters, and his Reddit history all I can find is this:
    Can I get a list from folks of what ships you can't use currently? Those are all bugs. Anything that's locked is, IIRC, just something we missed.

    Also I have never lied to you. :)

    I can get in touch with Kael on this subject if interested. I don't know how complete that list was, or if it was submitted somewhere.

    I just checked on Tribble again and Book's ship still isn't there. So, either my older token (for whatever reason) won't give it to me on Tribble, or it's a bug.

    And I really am disappointed about the cross faction lock box ships. It was one of the only things I was really excited about, because I'm happy with my ROM and KDF toons just using ROM and KDF ships. There just doesn't seem much point in playing them if you don't have specific perks.

    Oh and don't get my started about why the KDF version didn't have a cloak and the ROM a battle cloak and singularity core...that was just laziness.

    I believe I saw it mentioned once that new lock box and promo ships aren't listed as Infinity options on Tribble.

    Except not.

    I'm still unsure if I can open those temporal lockbox and lobi ships and choose out of the 3 faction skins on alt account. Without the KDF receiving battle cloak and DHC, and Rom with Rom battle cloak singularity and DHC it's already disappointing.

    That sounds about right, the c-store tokens work the same way in that respect, anything still in the "new" tab is unavailable via coupon so I ended up waiting almost a year to use the first one because the ship stayed in the new tab for so long. Anyone who doesn't frequent Tribble to check the lockboxes is likely to get a rude surprise though.

    Going back to this, you can double click the box on Holodeck and you should see it in the list, and you don't have to pick anything and can just close it instead if you desire (no timer like certain other boxes). I don't have a ship box on Holodeck, but the Inifinity boxes for Space Traits and Ground Traits did update the past patch to include the Angle's Wake stuff finally, and these are months old at the minimum.
