    Always found Xindi ships to be kind of blah. Curious to see what the next lock box will be. Fingers crossed the Borg will be coming soon.

    I honestly hate them capitalizing on the "T6" variants of already existing models. As it is, lockbox ships are a chance and come at a fortune. In my opinion the lockbox variants should simply have "Fleet T6" versions with already existing lockbox ship owners being able to upgrade with FSMs - considering the amount of money they put into acquiring those ships in the first place.

    But then again, it is what it is I suppose.

    I dont mind, it makes the T5U ships much cheaper on the exchange. Most of them can still go toe to toe with the T6 versions. Not to mention, they are still good for their admiralty cards.

    To be honest, I am not a fan of all this playable non-fed, non-kdf, non-rom ships. Though I understand that they are desirable and hence create profit for Cryptic. On the other hand, the thought of having some playable Borg ships is very tempting, but I think they will milk us even more hard for it than ever before.

    Overall, I would desire more playable factions and a more restrictive ship policy for my taste.

    In the beginning, the whole point of the lock box ships being rare was so the immersion effect wouldn't be ruined. Now good luck finding a pug group with actual Fed ships in it. Too much money is made off of them.

    To be honest, beside the Admiralty card i usually at 99.9% disregard lock boxes or events for new ships.

    I got lucky with the Amarie, why i did it, the possibility of having the perks of access everything in mail, bank and exchange from a ship.

    Beside, I am one that think Fed should fly fed, Rom fly Rom and Klingons fly Klingons. TO fly the other ship, we would need to add a respective factions. The only ship i find can be flown by Federation are Andorians, Vulcans, Caitains. That goes to KDF too.

    But everything else should be restricted to the same race.

    What they need is too add Factions. They can and they should. But i sense lazyness in that. They are able to get license and the go Word for design ships but no race? Star Trek is about multiple race.

    We should be able to play Cardassians, a Libarated borg. Damn we should be able to create a section 31 toon that does crazies missions.

    But that just me wishing and dreaming in HD, 4K .

    As someone who typically adheres to canon style builds, I tend to ignore flying the alien vessels more or less. I've never flown the Breen or Vorgon event ships, nor the Samsar anniversary ship. I go Fed for Fed, Klingon for Klingon and Romulan for Romulan.

    The only exception for me was the Zahl Heavy Cruiser, which was bought and flown for the trait. Once I had that unlocked, I tossed it into the dry dock as the buyers remorse set in.

    Tain is quite correct - the lockbox ships and especially the promo ships are where the money is and at this stage of the game, that's never going to change.

    The one ship I would like to see added to the game - and not as a promo or a lockbox ship - is a T6 Ambassador class. Yes, the Guardian has the same sort of lines as it and it's a surprise it can't use the skin. I had hoped we'd get it as a surprise for the 30th TNG anniversary in the C-store, but at least we got the updated Miranda.

    As someone who typically adheres to canon style builds, I tend to ignore flying the alien vessels more or less. I've never flown the Breen or Vorgon event ships, nor the Samsar anniversary ship. I go Fed for Fed, Klingon for Klingon and Romulan for Romulan.

    The only exception for me was the Zahl Heavy Cruiser, which was bought and flown for the trait. Once I had that unlocked, I tossed it into the dry dock as the buyers remorse set in.

    Tain is quite correct - the lockbox ships and especially the promo ships are where the money is and at this stage of the game, that's never going to change.

    The one ship I would like to see added to the game - and not as a promo or a lockbox ship - is a T6 Ambassador class. Yes, the Guardian has the same sort of lines as it and it's a surprise it can't use the skin. I had hoped we'd get it as a surprise for the 30th TNG anniversary in the C-store, but at least we got the updated Miranda.

    I'm the same way... the few lockbox ships ive gotten, I just get the traits and drydock them.... I am still hoping that one day a Norway class will show up...especially since it is the only First Contact movie ship that we do not have...Attachment 7118

    Faction all the way. I had a number of toons flying the Nihydron for a while for the sole reason that I got one cheap off the exchange back before I could afford to get any c-store ships. It is a great ship, better than any of the "free" faction T5s, and is (or was, I haven't looked in a long time) easily affordable.

    Now, all my toons fly Faction T6s (I consider my Andorian toon flying an Andorian ship "Faction"), the only exception being flying event ships long enough to get the trait.

    Of course that might change. I absolutely loved flying my vo'qov carrier on my KDF toon, it just wasn't quite potent enough to keep flying after getting T6s. If the new event carrier turns out to be really good I might actually keep flying it on a toon or two, at least until they make a cross faction (true) carrier pack.
