You've been able to disable that for months.

Hit the down arrow under the map and hit "Notification Settings"

Unfortunately that option seems to disable more than just the lockbox spam! It's now disabling any doff rewards feedback that would normally appear above your chat box as well as the lockbox spam messages. 

But thankfully the box spam has been much reduced.  I saw maybe half a dozen all yesterday compared to that in 30 seconds before.

I like the the rewards for this one. Not enough to use real money tho, I'll just use my monthly stipend.

Stipend?  You mean for paying real money to play a free game? ;)

Joking aside, I wouldn't mind a Tholian ship or that crystalline sword, but...well, I don't know where i was going with that.  And why can't we have a Tholian bridge officer?  That'd be far cooler than a stupid duty officer.

yeah, definatly better. that recluse carrier sounds interesting enough to consider it, but again, I'd probably won't spend my money this round. That said, if they keep improving the mid range prizes, it will become harder for me to resist.

As for the bridge officer, maybe they're saving it up for a featured episode or something


EDIT: I did a random IGE, and when we finally killed manus, I discovered what I've been coveting for months, the prototype PSG :yay: . Now with my completed maco set, I just need to get lucky and collect the 3 prototypes again for omega force :banghead: then do it again on my alts :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I'm a lifer, been so since launch. If you do the math for how much it cost at the time, I'm running on free time with paid benefits.

Ahh, then I retract my smart-alec statement.  I intended to be a lifer at some point, but then it went ftp.

Don't get Confused by the pictures. Apparently in the Mirror Universe, the Assault Cruiser is a Star Cruiser and the Star Cruiser is an Assault Cruiser.

And cats are barking, and dogs do the meowing :P

Cryptic had the freedom to pretty much design the "Terran Empire" (or Terran Federation, since they use both names in STO), the way they see fit. And they cheaped out by copying the standard Federation ships almost exactly. Where are all the special toys for the Terrans? Cloaking devices, or Phase Cloaks even? Would love to see some of the Terran ships spin the "tholian web", since we know they've captured Tholians on atleast one occasion.

At first I thought that the bridge looked pretty dull, then I saw that the walls were designed to look like more flooring. I take it that you can't walk on the walls though.

Got myself one of those mirror star cruisers (the mirror sov).  Not bad, but I wish I could get the slots of an oddy in her!

you can deactivate the middle console and and the lights turn off and the window on the ceiling apparently isn't a window it is a screen and it turns off with a pretty effect.
