I'm the other way around. I've won five lockbox ships, and not one from the promo. I only have certain promo ships, not counting from legendary packs (specifically I got the Annorax, the Inquiry, and the Disco-D7) through other means - Lobi sales, event campaigns, etc.
I thought it would be worse, that it would be a promo ship. I've had better luck with the lockbox lotto than I have with those. They say the Infinity Lock Box is like 1%... promo is less. (And yet there's always a guy that gets three or four of them a day every day... must be nice to not have to care about money...)
Meh. I have a Fed Jem and a KDF Jem, both are recruits... I just used the thing on my Fed one (since I made him first) because he's Tactical and could use the kar'takin best, the ship works for him, and he didn't have a Weyoun on his crew (my KDF one does from the DS9 holos pack).
Considering the California-class is the "starring ship" of Lower Decks, it actually makes sense that they make it really hard to get. Which is likely what CBS will tell them to do.
Semantic nonsense, in my opinion. If people who were so against evil characters were so, no one would play Sith/Dark Jedi/etc. in Star Wars games, no one would play dark sorcerers (warlocks, necromancers, etc.)...
Discovery: I've grown to... tolerate them up to a point, but the design of the Klingons and their ships is my main issue. (Although the Sarcophagus was kinda cool-looking, I won't lie - and the D7 isn't bad.) I'll grant that it was the 60s and they didn't have them fleshed out as much as they did from TNG onward, but come…
The thing about the bundles in question is that from time to time, sales pop up, and people snap them up. Like everyone talks about "Muddsday" and Lobi sales and the like. Nobody with any semblance of sanity buys anything off the Mudd market until there's a sale. (Eighty dollars for an outfit, for instance? This isn't…
Per Mr. Krause, the new Stargazer belongs to the Sagan class. I hope it's not going to be a promo box... if anything, I see it as a possible store-dropped T6 Cheyenne/Constellation/etc.
I confess to feeling similarly. Oh, I'm glad to see some canonization here, but... the hype left us hanging. (Although I DID manage to get my hands on the Inquiry from the Lobi store yesterday. Just for giggles.)
Which is why I find it ironic that the excuse made for not having a Terran Empire faction is "nobody likes to play the villain". Do you know how many people we kill "in the line of duty" in this game? Seriously.
It's not helped by the fact that dilithium has been particularly plentiful with all the events going on, and people just spending $20 to buy them out at the start and do the grind, getting more and more as they do their daily. People say "well, there was an inflation problem even before last year's event campaign", but the…
Cryptic is hardly the only company that's guilty of this. Expecting otherwise because of the company's smaller size and the somewhat greater presence of actual talking heads will only lead to disappointment. In the end, is it perfect? Hell, no. Can it be improved? Oh, definitely. Yes, the true endgame - Space Barbie - is…
