Basically, with a game like STO this is the only viable dev model. For something else that could work, I think you're better off with a co-op capable Trek-themed CRPG (similar to Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader) than trying to work out another MMO. A Trek CRPG could 1:1 replace most of what players do with STO, but in a standard retail model. Create-your-own-crew and the Trek theme are the only changes you really need (UGC system a plus).

I suspect the odds are indeed lower simply because its a much cheaper box. Thus a similar expenditure of resources results in a T6 ship, requiring more boxes to be opened on average. Testing data bears this out, though I don't have any to link off hand.

There's better data on lock boxes and promo packs, based on many tests lock boxes are 1 in 250 and promo packs are 1 in 100.
Those are not official numbers, just multiple people doing tests of 1,000 - 10,000 boxes.
Warning: there is no pity system and probability has no memory. After you have opened 249 lock boxes the odds of the next key winning a ship are still the original 1 in 250. If the gods hate you you can open 1,000+ boxes and never get a ship.
Had that happen but it was 70 boxes.....I cried so much
The Random Number Gods rarely bless me. Unless its in FATE/Grand Order. Then they bless me once or twice and then shun me as they do in STO for months.
> To get an Epic token one must stand on ones head, no hands. Close your right eye and stick your tongue out to the left and twist it over itself before biting down on it. The using your legs spin yourself around on your head whilst singing yankie doodle dandie and silent night at the same time. If you can master that and open a lock box at the same time then you will get an epic token eventually.
Didn't work

The only way to get enough lobi to do anything useful with it (unless you are a whale who buys a bunch of key packs on a whim) is to use the campaign reward lobi option. The most popular use for keys these days seems to be to convert cash into EC, not to open boxes with, anyway.
My opening ritual is far more sedate....involving flying around (in space, not my living room) and visiting certain sectors, planets and not opening the packs too quickly one after another. Can't complain too much though, as I've snagged a decent number of Infinity T6's & a couple of promo ships along the way.
As Darkblade says, only ever do it when you've a need for Lobi and/or Phoenix upgrades though and keep expectations low.
I can verify that one, as I have done the crazy many times. lol
Only thing you cannot get via in game means at all is a Lifer Sub. If its in the C-Store, there are in game ways to get it. If its on the Exchange, there are in game ways to get it.
The only resource it takes... is time.
And man does that feeling of accomplishment feel good when you finally do get it.
And on Consoles even the Lifetime can be earned in game, minus the monthly stipend mind you.
LMFAO! (I know right)
