Star Trek Online finally makes a classic T6 Connie available — in a lockbox

If you’ve waded in the waters of Star Trek Online’s community for any length of time, you’ll no doubt have noticed that there’s a repeated request (almost a refrain) that Cryptic make tier 6 Constitution-class starships available in the game. For the uninitiated, this is the classic Enterprise model from the original series.

It’s been a long time coming, but the T6 Connies are now here. The bad news, and it is quite bad, is that they are only available from lockboxes. From a limited-time lockbox, no less. From now through September 15th, players have a chance to win a classic series Connie from R&D lockboxes, in addition to classic series Romulan and Klingon vessels.

Predictably, the STO community has not been enthusiastic about having to gamble for this much-desired starship. “The RNG gambling side of this game is one of its most hated aspects and that’s how they decide to release the T6 version of the most iconic ship in the entire franchise?” one player posted.
