If you have ever played Star Trek Online, you are no doubt familiar with the occasional flashing messages that so-and-so just won some mega-awesome ship from a lockbox. Such notices either serve to pressure you into trying your odds at lockbox gambling or brewing resentment against Cryptic for putting its best ships in an RNG hell.
Well, hell may be letting a few of its prisoners escape, if you catch my drift. A Reddit leak seems to indicate that the studio is about to take 10 ships that were previously lockbox-exclusive and put them on the regular store for purchase as a bundle. The ships include an original series Connie temporal operative escort, a Defiant pilot warship, a liberated Borg Juggernaut, and a warship variant of the Intrepid class.
The legendary ship package, which was datamined, has stirred up a lot of discussion among players (and was even stricken from the game’s subreddit by moderators). You can take a look at what these ships look like if you are curious or considering the future financial plunge to buying them.
