@LootCritter "items of value" — This is very subjective. How do you define it? — Jeremy Randall (@BorticusCryptic) April 15, 2016 This is not an anti-lockbox rant.

A few months back I started a conversation with Thomas Marrone (@thomasthecat ) on Twitter about the process of starship design at Star Trek Online. I was interested in the details, the backstory and the collaborative effort involved in making vessels for the game.
