    *poke poke* You're announcement says Friday the 19th to Monday the 20th. Did we miss something? :p

    Meh, picked the wrong time to start over. Good deal for the people who can actually unlock the ships.

    Well, i alredy got 2 of them earlier (the B'Rel was actually a giveaway in last year - i think), but still - the ships are nice, and they are worth being saved for last (and best) days of giveaway.
    ... and as allyoftheforce wrote before - you may want to correct the date in the news article.
    Edit:
    .. and it is fixed.

    Nice. Got the B'Rel last time around but just the T4 versions of the other two from a previous giveaway, so cloak + cannons set for the Defiant :) Many thanks Cryptics.

    You can claim the ships and use them when you reach the rank needed. They are account unlocks so available for all future characters as well.

    Already got them, but thumbs up for free stuff. <3<3<3<3<3
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I checked the store and you have to be the level required to buy them.

    In that case you'll need to run to level 40 over the weekend. Do duty officers, enemy contacts, and run the story quests. If you PM me your in game name I might have some XP boosts I can give you tomorrow as well to help. If I have a little time this weekend (probably not saturday but maybe sunday morning) I'd be happy to help you level as well.

    You may want to check that Dhelan Retrofit - all Romulan ships are claimed in boxes - you may be able to get the box, just not open in yet...

    Nah that's ok. Thanks for the offer though. I'm not upset about it, I rerolled toons so that's on me. My post was more of a jab at the system being that way to begin with. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

    @ ambassadorkael
    Are these FREE T5 SHIPS Account Unlocks? Or can alts that are below 40 gonna be able to claim the ships in a crate then open when they get to 40?

    So how do I claim the ship on my romulan Alt that's only lvl 20, am I going to have to rush through trying to level up to claim the ship?, I know I could not use it till appropriate lvl but would have been nice to at least claim it.

    Well, at least I don't already have the Romulan and KDF ones.

    Edit: Turns out I am wrong, the KDF ship is the same one given away in the last giveaway a year ago which is odd of them to do.

    It's always been this way for the anniversary freebie ships due to the method of being given them is dropping the cstore price to 0 for a day.

    And yes time to get levelling, having done something similar before I know it is possible if a little tiring. Just remember which episodes take longer than others and skip if you can.
  • ryzkenarin#7138 ryzkenarin Member Posts: 6 Arc User
    Yeah, it's unfortunate that the KDF ship is the same as the 7th Anniversary giveaway. Maybe they'll change it?

    Already had the Defiant and B'rel, but now I also have the Dhelan. 1 more ship added to my ever growing roster.

    Pity it wasn't the T4 Ar'Kala; I would have had Quad Cannons from every faction.

    I love this one, all three were ships I wanted; I hope on the last day of the giveaways they offer up the Defiant bridge pack. It would make a perfect DS9 themed aniversery ending.

    probably not, the t-5 b'rel is one of the best ships for cryptic to giveawy in terms of not losing money. old players ether have it or have little interest and newer players are unlikely to buy it over the kor.


    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,913 Arc User
    Well, Jhanell is lvl 43 and can't claim it, so time to get her a couple more levels. Already have them on my other account from the last time they were given away.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
  • alcyoneserenealcyoneserene Member Posts: 2,412 Arc User
    Wow, thanks Cryptic! Can't believe it but that completes the Defiant set bonus for battle cloak, and been wanting that federation console cloak for my Arbiter, T6 Defiant, and Gal-X for a very long time (but just couldn't justify the zen for a console that's practically for fun only and self-nerfing).

    Console - Universal - Sabotage Probe Launcher was another I had my eyes on for the Tal'Shiar ships as a for-fun theme, and indeed it seems to be ship universal not just warbirds, like its counterpart on feds/kdf.

    Can't claim the B'Rel BoP, on account that my KDF char is lvl20 still. *Smh*
  • jexsamxjexsamx Member Posts: 2,802 Arc User
    Nice, I actually didn't have two of those!

    This completes my Defiant collection that I got half of for free anyway lol. Good to finally be able to finish that console/weapon set.

    There are two giveaways left to come, one on Monday and one on Tuesday.

    I think there's a fairly good chance that you'll get your wish.

    I'm so glad I never bought the T5 Defiant. :sweat_smile: I was tempted to do so on a few sales. So at least I got 1 ship for free this time. I already have the other 2.

    It's either:
    a.) good to give people 3 days to claim this 'big' gift.
    b.) lame that Cryptic is using this one gift (of 3 ships) gift to cover 3 days of giftiness.

    It'd be nice if all store ships came "in a box", so you can claim them on lower chars for later use. I don't understand why a few random ones do and most don't.

    The cloaking device the Defiant comes with will certainly be usefu, it completes the Starfleet Manoeuvring Protocol Set, something I haven't had access to until now.

    That romulan ships come in a box helps if you're short on ship slots. It doesn't help if your lvl is too low. Just leveled my Romulan to get the ship...

    Anyway, 3 ships, thanks!

    An extra Ship Slot or two would be nice.
    I am very grateful for the ships, but with a ton of alts most of whom have 0-2 Slots available, it is a lot of work juggling ships to get them all.
    Thank You again for doing this!

    Is the ships' availability really all weekend?
    NVM! My bad & it is on the main page;
    "Friday, January 19th at 10am PT – Monday, January 22nd at 10am PT:

    It’s everyone’s favorite holiday – free ship day! Head to the ships section of the C-store all this weekend, Captains, and you can get a T5 Defiant Tactical Escort Retrofit, a T5 Dhelan Warbird Retrofit, and a T5 B’rel Bird-of-Prey Retrofit, all for free!"

    Hopefully I can get a few alts to Admiral!
