Nice! I've never gotten a lockbox ship and been playing since 2011

I still wanna get whoever here in BC who plays together ingame.

I bought mine off the exchange. I've never won a lockbox ship, I gave up opening boxes years ago.

I'm saving up for a Walker Class now.

I'll stick with my Son'a battlecruiser which looks pretty good with the Bajoran shield visuals.

So according to Cryptic, the reason no other ships spin when using the Spore Drive console, is because CBS told cryptic spinning should be unique to the Crossfield.

Yeah that's been going around on reddit.com/r/sto for bit. I don't know if a dev chimed in and confirmed that, however.

I don't have any reason to doubt it, however. There was a video of an Enterprise-J type ship doing the Spore Drive spin some weeks ago. For a long time CBS didn't want the Excelsior or Constitution available as endgame ships, so they do have some influence over the decisions Cryptic makes.

It was confirmed by a Dev on twitter and the Community Manager on Reddit the week the Discovery came out.

CBS has full control over what Cryptic can and cannot do with the licence, as CBS owns the licence.

Interesting fact, there was Titan novel that focused on those Subspace Aliens from TNG (The Solenae in STO), according to the author of that novel CBS asked him to call those aliens Solenae because STO did, even though they have completely different origins in that novel.

According to the file name it's a Flight Deck Cruiser

Also Jem'hadar characters start at level 60.

I'm hopeful that that's Garak behind Odo in the promotional poster donning the cardassian uniform. Wouldn't really be a DS9 expansion without him after all.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #5498 on:** March 21, 2018, 08:28:28 PM »

Why would Garak be wearing a military uniform?

Either way the rest of the characters are wearing their outfits from the series. So if Garak was there he'd be wearing one of his fancy shirts.

True I guess but no other main cardassian characters come to mind other than the ones that were killed.
