I do find myself wondering if instead of being another Infinity Promotion Ship, it'll be a separate promotion to start with that has just these two ships.
Should have added that I'm on the US West Coast. Perhaps this is a regional issue. Could people who have this issue post their ISP and what region they're in, as well?
Same issue here. It looks as though whatever light source they use in Lighting 1.0 moved so that its casting different "shadows" on the faces of characters. And I suspect as with the issues with Direct3D 9 last year gave way to it being discontinued, chances are that Lighting 1.0 will be phased out in the coming months.
It's still a WIP. From what I've read, the new weapons seen in the blog aren't in yet. Edit: Upon further reading, it sounds like those NPCs are there because the Officer of the Watch missions take place in space, so players don't have to go too far to swap ships and equipment or obtain new ones from the current selection.
It's actually a button below "Leave Ship Interior" when you stand next to the bridge engineering station, which is to your left when you spawn on the map.
I believe it's definitely possible. There's quite a few KDF, Gorn, Orion, and Romulan ships in the AoY missions that can be made playable that have not yet.
It's not about the box or the ships, it's about how much cash was spent on purchasing Zen during the period of the promo. Cryptic could care less if there was 0 or 10,000 of these things flying around or not.
It should be noted that in regards to collectibility there could be two questions down the road that might lower its asking price in after market trading. First, will the R&D promo ever happen again? Looking on the Exchange now you might find an Annorax or a T6 Jem'Hadar attack ship even though those vessels were only…
There already is a T5 D7* and a T5 fleet version available to fleets with Shipyard Tier 1. You also have T5 and T6 versions of the light warbird that admittedly can't use the T'Liss skin, but if you paint it white, zoom the camera out, and squint, it might look kind of like a T'Liss. * = Still uses the old D7 skin, not the…
What about making a hypothetical giveaway ship exclusive to TOS characters? The R&D promo box would still be usable by all factions and it'd incentivize players to get their TOS characters to a point where they could use that ship.
