    Of course you prefer bug ship grab box i presume. Or endless elite stf grind. hello 300 runs and 1 drop.

    Easy, if you login during the 4-day anniversary event... Many have left STO behind long ago, so for them, it won't be so easy to get the ship -if- they ever make a return.

    That isn't a bad thing, in light of the Bug. Would you rather have them charge you 500,000 dilithium, 2500 Cryptic points, or have you grind a mission 500 times to get one? Yes, it won't be exclusive to a very select few, but this ship shouldn't be. I will get it on all of my Fed toons (and the Klink ship for my KDF toon), but realistically I will use it on one toon tops, and even that may not happen if I'm not happy the bridge station layout.

    For those of us who work long shifts on the weekend can we get some clarification as to when each day begins and ends for the purpose of getting the Q rewards?

    Isn't that art asset of Q starting to get a little worn out and tired?

    How about we get something new for events other than Q snapping us about?

    I am almost certain the MISSION will disappear, not the ship.

    The event will run from around 10 AM PST on Thursday, February 2nd, through around the same time on Monday, February 6th.

    The blog says "After the event, these two ships will disappear from the game for a while."

    Doesn't say mission. It also doesn't say if we get them back whenever the ships return.

    They need to reword it.

    They used the same wording on the 'Bug' ship if I recall correctly.

    the mission to get the ship will only be there for 4 days. if you dont claim the ship in that time you have to wait until it comes back again (probably in the store)

    if you get the ship in those 4 days, you wont lose it. they wont take ships off of you. its just we have a very limited window to claim the free one.

    Zero confirmed in TTS that once you have the ship, it stays after the event for that toon.

    Yeah, as I understand it, you'll still have the ships, but people who missed out won't be able to claim them until a new method is implemented. I mean, I didn't lose my Delta shuttle when you stopped being able to craft them.

    Also remember the Odyssey will be available with In-game currency when ever it comes back.

    Do you SERIOUSLY think the actual ship will disappear from your roster/inventory?

    It's CLEARLY obvious that what he means is the mission will disappear, and they haven't worked out exactly how folks will be able to get it after the big weekend.

    Hoping all of the "it's definitely going to be a grab-bag" and "it's definitely going to be a C-Store-only ship" folks come on by and admit they were wrong.

    Did any of the Bug ships disappear? No?

    Then why are you worried?

    Well, I guess we do keep the ship then. :D

    That seems overly optimistic, especially considering how easy it sounds to get the ship in the first place. Some clarification from Cryptic on this point is needed. If all we have to do is take it out past Pluto for a spin and we get a top-of-the-line Federation flagship for free...well, that's a bit too easy.

    If it's too good to be true, it usually is.

    That isn't what I'm asking. The Blog makes it seem that Q will have different rewards each day and I want to know specifically what time the day changes for the purpose of getting ALL the stuff Q offers.

    Also, if it was only for those 5 days, they would have limited it to VA (50) since there is no way anyone at level 5 would get to 50 before it vanished. It is safe to say it is staying, also it is pretty obvious, it is not vanishing.

    Cryptic,

    I'd prefer the 2nd STO anniversary was celebrated with the release of a playable Romulan faction. However, since that is not a reality in the near future, this is a great alternative! I really look forward to logging into this event, thanks for making the 2nd anniversary a special day for us Star Trek fans.:D

    Maybe next year, you know the special "3rd year" we can have the release of the Romulan faction. I think I head it takes about 3-4 years to make a faction...right? If you release the faction, we Romulan fans can keep busy in the foundry for a while. But anyways, you have heard all of this before. All to say, thanks for making the 2nd Anniversary special.
