When a Cardassian Lock Box is opened, it will grant the character that opens it a random reward. These rewards range from a rare starship, to some great new items. The possible rewards are:
•A box with a Cardassian Galor class cruiser starship.
To open one of the Lock Boxes, a character will also need an item called a Master Key. Master Keys can be purchased in the C-Store for 100 CP, or in a 10-pack for 900 CP.
AWESOME! I know we are all excited about this kind of model.

Of course the bloody things are dropping like mad...rather than give us standard high level loot...it looks like we get this crap to "Encourage" us to spend our c points...I got 3 of the stupid boxes in 1 mission...anyone else think Cryptic is trying a bit too hard to separate us from our cash?

You left out the part where every time someones opens a box that has a Galor in it, we get a super awesome system wide message about it.

Be prepared for massive ragespam on ESD or DS9 if you enter them..rather ridiculous.
and MAN did the dilithium exchange skyrocket. 250DL for 1 CP last i checked
I also heard that the ship is like [enter cruiser name here (i forgot)] only with weapons. So apparently it might be more of an assault cruiser, not sure if it's any better than any other cruiser though.

Am I the only Fleet member that is actually interested in getting the ship?
If anyone gets their hands on one, I would love to make arrangements to buy it off of you (assuming you don't actually want it).

As I haven't gotten a "gold" box drop yet, I can't confirm, but I think those are Bind on Pickup. I can, however, give you a key to open it, and the ship "container," itself, is not BoP.
