DancingShade posted:When they first introduced the fleet ship system they buffed the galor & bugship to their current level. There are two precedents that have been set- the first, as you note, is when the JHAS and the Galor got updated to fleet-ship stats. And I think they'll do that again, and update all of the lockbox ships to T6. There's just too much real money involved in past and future lockbox ships for them to ignore that. The second precedent is the Fleet Patrol Escort Refit- the old FPEs were left unchanged, with no free upgrade option to their replacement. I assume they'll take the feedback they got from that and decide to do the same thing again.

Given that their panic moneymaker is to re-release bugship drops I can't see them not updating lockbox ships to be in line with T6 stuff.

Also NPC races.   Finally we can Strangle Neelix in game!   Man, the lockboxes alone will keep STO afloat for years.

Here is the updated Intrepid class model, they even gave it an unique hull texture along with Windows and Escape pods. There will also be a canon interior to go with it.

I'm honestly shocked they didn't try to mimic WoD and do a time travel thing. I think people would have give crazy for an expansion where you get to hang out with characters and ships from the shows. Then again Voyager is bizarrely popular.

Be sure to jump on this thread to see pubbies trying to justify their awful behavior on the forums.

Yesssssssss. Hierarchy were my favourite ships, derpy little potatoheads. Looking forward to the Hierarchy lockbox. Also dunno what's up with the Federation T6 ship there but loving the Klingon and Romulan ones. A Fancy Bloke posted:I'm honestly shocked they didn't try to mimic WoD and do a time travel thing.

MikeJF posted:Yesssssssss. Hierarchy were like my favourite ships. Yeah that Romulan one in particular is exactly what I was hoping for. So long as the stats aren't totally abysmal. Honestly the "new classes" of both ships and Boffs are intriguing. We have escorts/cruisers/science as the holy trinity but those lines are heavily blurred by now. As distinct new play style would be huge.

Sontarans, shitheads, aatreks favorite species, and all the rest if the Delta Quadrant dickheads. If this season isn't actually about the DQs recovery after Janeways path of "Go gently caress yourself, gimme that coffee." Then I will be disappointed.

Mondian posted:the most mediocre Voyager poo poo More seriously though, STO has done pretty good even with the lovely dregs of Voyager lore. I mean there was content patches focused around the Voth (one-note single-episode dumb race) and undine ("kewler than teh borg!!") and wound up with fun queues and at least one decent episode per, so I'll be cautiously optimistic.

They could have made solid Delta quadrant choices. Take the Sikarians: a powerful species dedicated to partying. We could finally make proper first contact by giving them the gift of disco balls.

The main reason would be future consumer confidence. If they set a precedent that lockbox ships can be entirely deprecated come a new expansion, people may be a lot less inclined to blow a shitload too much money hunting for them.

That, and lock box rerun events for a chance to "win that limited time ship you always wanted". They normally have those at the end of each season.

Introduce a Galor T6, and all Galor T5 owners will get instawood to have the latest and greatest. In addition to taking the hit with confidence, it's a missed golden opportunity to introduce some Zen/Dil/Time sinks to upgrade the fleet of ships most people are carrying, and maybe, just maybe improve some shitboxes like the Galaxy that have been left behind in the power creep or fix some layout options on ships like the Defiant. The devil will be in the details since all the designs they've shown so far look like rear end, but they'll piss off the whales if it's nothing more than just a "Rebuy all your poo poo again!"

Yeah I'm really hoping since they're doing the 'improve the Voyager' thing they'll take it as a time to improve all the series flagships. After all, from a marketing point of view, the Galaxy, Defiant, Intrepid and Sovereign should really be head of the pack here.
