not sure, but if you start up the game and quit it downloads a 500mb pre-patch, no Idea what for there is no scheduled patch for tomorrow must be for some later patch.

The boxes have nothing to do with it, Cryptic just happened to reduce the rate at which Rare Borg Tech drops around the same time (a week before the Lock Boxes started dropping IIRC).

I think it's the matter of the lock boxes' drop frequency in STFs. Especially the space ones. You can average maybe 10-15 of the damn things in about twenty minutes.

I remember reading somewhere that the Cardassian Drop Boxes are temporary and will end March 19th. I'm already seeing less ingame popups of whoever is receiving the ships, plus everyone I've played with seems to pass on those things.

I don't know. There was a lot of chatter about it when I logged in though.

The way the Lock Boxes were intended to drop isn't that it 'replaces' other drops; as Cryptic upped the drop rate; however the Lock Boxes seem to be dropping at a dispropotional rate.

i was lucky enough to get 2 gold boxes 1 had an duty officer pack and the other was a galor which i promptly stripped her weapons and got rid of her in hopes of getting another gold box with a galor and this one if i do get i will sell (storage wars anyone)
Anyways i have finally finished the undine sotry arc last night and am all caught up with the story lines. BTW for those thinking of getting the jem hadar gear dont waste your time all the abilities are passive with a low chance of actually working. put the jem hadar assult rifle is a nice weapon to use

disproportional

Not half! There's been a few instances where I've received nothing but boxes! Normal boxes, not gold ones. Not even a single edc or battery just the boxes.

I don't think it's something that should, at least for the moment, be discussed publicly outside of the Ninth Fleet.

Is that the certain Changeling i think it is? :eek

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3072 on:** March 02, 2012, 06:36:58 PM »

Hmmm...I've gotta say, I'm not looking forward to trying to convince the female Changeling to assist Starfleet. I doubt prison has subdued her stubborn streak.

majormagna · « **Reply #3073 on:** March 03, 2012, 09:48:12 AM »

In exchange for freedom? (Which IS the helping part) I'll expect it to be reasonably easy.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3074 on:** March 03, 2012, 02:11:44 PM »

they had to rush to get the mission out this week, it will be updated next week or later with Class specific objectives and accolades.

The map will also be added as a PVP sometime in the future.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3075 on:** March 04, 2012, 08:57:08 AM »

I thought it was a MUCH better mission than the others so far as it is. Fun? Hell yes! Reminded me of the prison mission in ME 2.
I think this new one is easily in the top 10% of best missions in STO. I just hope they don't break it with updates!
Also, I have a jem hadar tac officer

The map for this mission seemed a lot more immersive to me. Consoles popping up at your approach, holographic walkways...blasting through hordes of prisoners and Jem'Hadar...and getting a Jem'Hadar on your bridge, that's always fun.

Friend of mine and I were talking about it, and we wonder what the series finale's "big reward" will be since we're getting the bridge officer before the end. I already figure we're getting the Jem'Hadar starship shield (since it's the only part we can't get yet, with the ground shield available from this last one), but what else? Unless Cryptic jumped the gun and gave us the big series reward too early...

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3077 on:** March 04, 2012, 06:22:07 PM »

There is something coming as the series reward been hints on the forum and in game chat channels. Not hints on what it is, but the fact there is one.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3078 on:** March 04, 2012, 06:38:02 PM »

Well, hopefully it's more story past the Dominion invasion of DS9. The Iconians are a massive loose thread.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3079 on:** March 04, 2012, 11:45:32 PM »

How did the wording of my post come out like that
I was talking about the FE series reward.

Also there were references to both the Iconians and Tholians in the latest episode.

The Tholians have been hinted to be the enemy of the next FE series.
