A lot of ships, like the Crossfield refit, the Janeway, the Inquiry class, should have been.
I agree on the Inquiry, but that was last year. The 32c ships were never going to be C-Store though, with the exception of the AoY bundle far future ships are always in a gamble box.

Well, there was also the Eternal/Ouroboros/Chronos cross faction pack. But that was also released as part of AoY.
I was counting those as well, all part of the same bundle 🙂
A lot of ships, like the Crossfield refit, the Janeway, the Inquiry class, should have been.
Janeway/Crossfield Refit shouldn't have been. Far future ships/items have traditionally been lockbox/Lobi/R&D items only.
Paradox Temporal Dreadnought
Tal'aura/Chargh'poH/Klein Temporal Destroyers
Talvath/Krenn/Mobius Temporal Destroyers
Sui'Mor/Qul'poH/Verne Temporal Science Vessels
R'Mor/Korath/Wells Temporal Science Vessels
Valkis/Durgath/Universe Temporal Heavy Dreadnoughts
Rozhenko/Aeon Timeships
All the DSC S3 ships(Jovian, Courage, Mars, Janneway, Crossfield Refit, Kwejian)
3189/Wells/Temporal Jumpsuit uniforms
Except for all the ones that run counter to that, such as the Chronos and its stablemates (except for the ones on your list of course), along with the series that the Paladin class is part of. I picked up both the Chronos and the Paladin from the regular ship section of the c-store in fact.
The Inquiry class is just a T6 Avenger class line wise so there is a good argument for it to be a regular c-store ship. On the other hand, I suppose having it separated out into lockbox or whatever it is would be good insurance in case the devs are considering declaring STO to be its own continuity which would make it an "exotic crosstime or 'alien'" ship and therefore traditionally lockbox/lobi fare.
I was counting those as well, all part of the same bundle 🙂
Were they part of the same bundle as the TOS era ships and their T6 counterparts? Thought they were a different bundle... unless its a mega bundle you are mentioning. Either way yeah, that was the only time Cryptic put far future ships in the Zen store.

To back up Som's counterpoints:
At that point in time, neither Starfleet nor the Klingon Empire could have known of the potential for disaster misused Spore Tech could pose. USS Discovery found out when they faced off against ISS Charon in the Mirror Universe. But then upon their return, the data was classified, and then classified again after Discovery "was lost with all hands" at the end of season 2 of Discovery.
The Elachi were serving the Iconians before J'Ula started putzing around in the 25th Century harvesting Spores. Hell... they may have been serving the Iconians since the 22nd Century for all we know. They didn't need a reason to attack, they were already being directed to destabilize the Romulans.
J'mpok is responsible for that. J'Ula just happened to be the match that lit the fuse left by him. Odds are Martok may have lit that fuse himself if he saw just how much dishonor J'mpok was dishing out.
Aakar framed her for Q'vat by ordering the attack on the colony instead of the shipyard, then outright betrayed her and joined J'mpok at Khitomer. The only thing J'Ula would be guilty of is making the weapon in the first place. Aakar was the one who pulled the trigger, and thus is ultimately responsible for the lives lost. May he burn in Gre'thor.
So realistically... J'ula is only guilty of being a patriot of the Empire in a time of war, a clever woman trying to get a leg up on the enemy, and being stuck in the past until she got the mother of all reality checks.
She's also technically guilty of breaking the Khitomer Accords...but so are half the players in the game.

Kael has campaigned on getting the Bonnie Kin mission added as a Halloween event, but Cryptic wants to remaster it before they do so
sorry, but how many missions are sitting in the waiting room for remastering now? without pushing buttons, but wtf? is this a new excuse for "not" doing mission remasters?
Mentioned that since remote work started about half the team has moved to Texas, and there are no plans to go back to the physical studio any time soon, which has caused communication issues.
this doesnt bode well...
can't blame them for escaping commifornia to a low tax state like Texas
We can shoot new ship/systems ideas to the devs, but due to legal reasons they can't read most of them.
They can't even read them? Or just not add / do anything with most of the ideas?
that's a fact. just like you cannot write a lower decks episode and send it to CBS. they legally cannot look at it unless you are represented by an agent. I write a episode of Picard where he wears a tutu. then an episode appears where he wears a tutu, but I get no credit (or payment) now I can sue the TRIBBLE out of CBS. I would even have a case if he wore ballerina slippers and leotard without the tutu, even if it was a coincidence, and the writer of the episode never saw my draft. it's all legal CYA. now MAYBE if you submitted something with a legal cover document releasing any claim of intellectual property they could do something
They had to delay a B5 episode because of a random comment on the internet?! JFC - Biden, repeal all copyright laws, then get lawyers to redo them properly.

I missed it but a few things I would like to see is possibly a new dilithium sink that can actually help resolve one of my most irritating issue I want to get resolved with traits. So once you have completed the xp on one ship being its cross faction ships now that you can buy the trait for other characters with dilithium. Same with traits that involve specific racial or recruit like the Superior Infiltrator which is one big limiting factor in why battle cloak ships aren't as popular as they could be especially being that it has made any of my characters made before the KDF recruitment become obsolete.
The other thing I wanted to pitch is an event that I would find amusing personally that could be always on April Fools and then random limited times. So if you ever have watched Dukat on the DS9 series he always complains about how he treated the Bajorans like his children but there is no statue of him anywhere on Bajor. Being how something that is happening with social justice is tearing down statues. That something happens in the fire caves and the pah wraiths start creating Dukat Statues all over Bajor and the event its up to the players to tear them down as fast as possible. Also a great way if these statues could talk having some VO from Marc Alaimo.

That certainly makes things clearer, thanks.
Still wondering how you'd prove that someone didn't come up with the idea by himself though. Or that CBS has actually read the proposal.
Wouldn't you at least have to prove that last thing if you are the one taking them to court? I'm not from the States, but I assume there's the presumption of innocence and the burden of proof principles that should play a role here - and to Cryptic's advantage, right?
Either way, it's pretty weird that things apparently work the way they do. You'd think that it would be the responsibility of the sender to inform the receiver that they're not allowed to do anything with it unless they're given credit and so on - instead of making the receiver responsible for just receiving something and being potentially at fault because the sender neglects to include a legal cover document...

It would certainly help if we had such a feature.
While patrols and, when active, Red alerts can allow for quick trait collection, it's still an annoying process to go through.
Especially if you're interested in a trait like the Phantom's on a EPG captain who's not suited to fly escorts at all.
Having to continuously switch is also annoying if you just want to fly the same ship from level 0 until you reach 65 and actually start playing the game. When I create a new toon nowadays, I do so with a clear build, theme, mission and ship in mind. It's mildly annoying when I have to fly a totally different ship that doesn't fit all these things then.
I'd happily pay dilithium for the convenience.

They certainly don't make swapping to new ships seamless either, even when the auto-gear swap thing works properly. Get everything equipped. Get all your boff stations set up. Beam up, reset every freakin' power on the hotkey bar because the game is built stupid for that, then your power settings, and then back into your traits to see what ones the game replaced or removed for the umpteenth time.
It takes about as much time just getting a new ship ready to be flown as it does actually unlocking the ship's trait.
Indeed.
I've got evasive maneuvers always set on 2, sensor scan, attack pattern alpha and EPS power transfer on 1, Brace for Impact on 6, Threatening stance on 7, Tactical/Engineering/Science fleet on C1 and so on.
Surely it should be possible to make the game remember this? To add a customisable default load option for a new ship?
For Boff abilities, I just use the separate Boff tray nowadays. I don't even go through the effort of putting those in the regular tray anymore until I'm settled in that character's main ship. Cause you'd indeed spend more time making everything right than using it.

nope. this is the country where some bimbo put a cup of hot coffee between her legs and burned herself when she drove off.. and won the lawsuits against McDonalds. also the same company that allowed the families of shooting victims sue the manufacturer of the firearm which is the same as suing Chevrolet because some idiot decided to get in an accident driving drunk.
but that's the idiocy of the legal system

You should actually research that case instead of repeating whatever you've heard someone tell you, there's a reason the old lady won.
Isn't freshly-brewed (Yes, I know... McDonald's) coffee SUPPOSED to be hot? Like...the coffee and tea that comes out of the Ninja my parents just got, if I accidentally spilt that all over an exposed part of myself, I would expect to get 3rd-degree burns from it - but I wouldn't sue the company over it.

I was counting those as well, all part of the same bundle 🙂
Except for all the ones that run counter to that, such as the Chronos and its stablemates (except for the ones on your list of course), along with the series that the Paladin class is part of. I picked up both the Chronos and the Paladin from the regular ship section of the c-store in fact.
The Inquiry class is just a T6 Avenger class line wise so there is a good argument for it to be a regular c-store ship. On the other hand, I suppose having it separated out into lockbox or whatever it is would be good insurance in case the devs are considering declaring STO to be its own continuity which would make it an "exotic crosstime or 'alien'" ship and therefore traditionally lockbox/lobi fare.
She's also technically guilty of breaking the Khitomer Accords...but so are half the players in the game.

can't blame them for escaping commifornia to a low tax state like Texas
We can shoot new ship/systems ideas to the devs, but due to legal reasons they can't read most of them.
They can't even read them? Or just not add / do anything with most of the ideas?
that's a fact. just like you cannot write a lower decks episode and send it to CBS. they legally cannot look at it unless you are represented by an agent. I write a episode of Picard where he wears a tutu. then an episode appears where he wears a tutu, but I get no credit (or payment) now I can sue the TRIBBLE out of CBS. I would even have a case if he wore ballerina slippers and leotard without the tutu, even if it was a coincidence, and the writer of the episode never saw my draft. it's all legal CYA. now MAYBE if you submitted something with a legal cover document releasing any claim of intellectual property they could do something

The other thing I wanted to pitch is an event that I would find amusing personally that could be always on April Fools and then random limited times. So if you ever have watched Dukat on the DS9 series he always complains about how he treated the Bajorans like his children but there is no statue of him anywhere on Bajor. Being how something that is happening with social justice is tearing down statues. That something happens in the fire caves and the pah wraiths start creating Dukat Statues all over Bajor and the event its up to the players to tear them down as fast as possible. Also a great way if these statues could talk having some VO from Marc Alaimo.
That certainly makes things clearer, thanks.
Still wondering how you'd prove that someone didn't come up with the idea by himself though. Or that CBS has actually read the proposal.
Wouldn't you at least have to prove that last thing if you are the one taking them to court? I'm not from the States, but I assume there's the presumption of innocence and the burden of proof principles that should play a role here - and to Cryptic's advantage, right?
Either way, it's pretty weird that things apparently work the way they do. You'd think that it would be the responsibility of the sender to inform the receiver that they're not allowed to do anything with it unless they're given credit and so on - instead of making the receiver responsible for just receiving something and being potentially at fault because the sender neglects to include a legal cover document...

It would certainly help if we had such a feature.
While patrols and, when active, Red alerts can allow for quick trait collection, it's still an annoying process to go through.
Especially if you're interested in a trait like the Phantom's on a EPG captain who's not suited to fly escorts at all.
Having to continuously switch is also annoying if you just want to fly the same ship from level 0 until you reach 65 and actually start playing the game. When I create a new toon nowadays, I do so with a clear build, theme, mission and ship in mind. It's mildly annoying when I have to fly a totally different ship that doesn't fit all these things then.
I'd happily pay dilithium for the convenience.

Indeed.
I've got evasive maneuvers always set on 2, sensor scan, attack pattern alpha and EPS power transfer on 1, Brace for Impact on 6, Threatening stance on 7, Tactical/Engineering/Science fleet on C1 and so on.
Surely it should be possible to make the game remember this? To add a customisable default load option for a new ship?
For Boff abilities, I just use the separate Boff tray nowadays. I don't even go through the effort of putting those in the regular tray anymore until I'm settled in that character's main ship. Cause you'd indeed spend more time making everything right than using it.

nope. this is the country where some bimbo put a cup of hot coffee between her legs and burned herself when she drove off.. and won the lawsuits against McDonalds. also the same company that allowed the families of shooting victims sue the manufacturer of the firearm which is the same as suing Chevrolet because some idiot decided to get in an accident driving drunk.
but that's the idiocy of the legal system
