Is the Sagan Class T6 Stargazer going into a Lockbox? Somebody told me today.
C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

It should have been obvious this would be the case, the only surprising detail was that it's coming so soon after Picard S2 (I wasn't expecting it until November at the earliest). Since they've been doing LD lately I was expecting the Obena and a Clumpship to be the next two, followed by anything they might be able to pull from Disco S4, and THEN the Picard S2 stuff.
On a side note, I hope this means a Confederation Lockbox might be coming soon with a World Razer class and Confed weapons+uniforms.
I was a little surprised by this as well. In the livestream, they said a few times that it was the free ship in the next year's big event series. Then, at the very end, Jeremy says it will be an infinity doff / R&D promo ship.
Are they selling the ship NOW only to have it free THEN? I was a bit confused by the way it came up in the livestream.
My 2 ECs on the subject.
As a costume fiend... gimme gimme.
On the one hand, there used to be a time when the rule was: faction-specific ships end up in the C-store. It was a good rule.
On the other hand, higher tier ships of previously exclusively lower ships (like the T6 Constitution) were always something of an exception to this rule.

True, but by the time it's added, many new other ships will have been released.
I heard something about a real life shuttle finally being added to, unfortunately, the next promo pack. Wish that would be C-store too.

What is a “real-life” shuttle? Like a NASA shuttle? Like a Picard Europa-mission shuttle? Like you win the lockbox and they bring a working shuttlecraft to your doorstep? Maybe I could go for an in-game Soviet shuttle, the Buran, even if it never got to launch before the Soviet Union collapsed. Or maybe one of those new Boeing top-secret spy drones, the X-37B.
Thankfully I'm not particularly crazy about the Sagan, so unless the World Razer releases this year next year's event campaign will be an easy choice of California Class for me. If the World Razer DOES come this year though all I can do is hope I get lucky again with my occasional Promo boxes ...
Originally, my idea was that it would be a shuttlecraft delivered to your doorstep. Bought through the C-store.
But it's been years since anyone responded to it in a serious manner.
Looking at the specs... I'm not seeing anything but a mid tier cruiser, being sold as a promo.
All well. Cryptic please continue trying so hard to make shield tanking a thing, your saving me money, and time.
It does come with an unique material though.
I'm not interested in it myself, but promo ships don't necessarily need to have great stats.
The Kirk class for example wasn't anything special either and its console and trait were also far from impressive.
When you say "that ROI," are you referring to my reference of "enjoying playing the game?" If so, I'm not understanding how items being placed in lockboxes, etc. diminishes one's enjoyment of actually playing the game. Items are just acquiring stuff. Stuff that's not at all necessary for actually playing the game. Of course, items can enhance the enjoyment of playing the game, but again, not at all necessary for said enjoyment of playing the game.
Another thing that also confuses me is individuals, such as yourself, who admittedly no longer play the game (for months, years), but continue to come on the forum to complain about a game they no longer play and therefore are no longer affected by. If the state of the game distresses one so much that they must stop playing it, I don't understand why one would continue to subject oneself to further distress though forum discussion. Seems oddly masochistic to me.
I am sorry that you no longer derive any enjoyment from playing the game, though. But yes, my ROI still has "gas in the tank" as you say. I can always find something enjoyable to do in STO. 😊

I personally like STO a lot more than I like WoW, and I've spent a hell of a lot more money on STO than I have on WoW, but I spend most of my free time playing WoW instead of STO because STO always feels like there's nothing meaningful to do.
I'm aware of and fully understand the reasons for the slow release schedule, but knowing that information doesn't change the fact that there's nothing worthwhile to do between content patches.
You could always get that T3 omega ground reputation trait.
Or, more seriously, create new characters. That's what I've been doing a lot lately.
So in terms of release schedule, I'd put STO at fast but small, then FF14 at large but moderate timing, and WoW at massive and LONG wait.
Its also kinda dependant on the size of the team as well. WoW and FF14 are backed by MAJOR players in the MMO universe, so they naturally have much larger teams. STO, on the other hand, is nowhere near that. And IMO if it takes a few months for a high quality mission or two... I'd take that over putting out busywork missions like Of Bajor in the 2800 Feature Episode Series.
You mean the federation battle cruiser... with a battle cloak (without burning console slots) 3 cruiser commands (including weapon power) Full temporal with reconstruction, a lt cmd command to go with for torp boat funs, and 3-10k more hull then any other fed battle cruiser, and 10 more power in total bonuses vs all but I think 1 other fed cruiser.
Yep your right the kirk was nothing special. (I'm not saying it was my cup... but its obviously a +1 promo class ship)
Yes, of course. T6 "Hero" ships are pretty much always lockbox or promo box. Why would you expect otherwise?
But yeah, this.
If they did it was a mistake. They aren't going to offer a promo ship for free besides the once a year event grind
Idk if you missed the beginning or something, but this was all very clearly explained in the live stream: it IS a promo ship, a fact they made clear up front. However, each year's event campaign allows you to select any promo or lockbox ship from the previous year, so since the Sagan is a 2022 Promo ship you will be able to select it as your 2023 Event Campaign reward if you want.
As with both event campaigns so far, you will only get ONE copy of the Sagan if you choose it next year, it will not be account unlocked.
