Im un clear on what is to happen. Do they mean by "not knowing when she will be available" and "gone for sometime" mean that players will only have this chance of getting a free one...or do players that all ready have them loose it.
Since they already shut down the Event prematurely, and it's still there .... NO
Just the Mission is /will be gone to get it, if you already have it ... you'll keep it ...
Ahh. Excellent, then I suppose what it looks like then to gain the Odyssey aux craft and saucer sep ability, the will release a variant of the ship and you can swap the consoles over.
If it did vanish, me and my crew would be floating in space
I heard a rumour that there will be a C-Point version as well.
More of an assumption than a rumor. In the Dev blog they did say there will be a full version with the special powers we've seen in screenshots, that'll be coming later. They haven't said outright that it'll be in the C-store, but I think we all know how this works by now.
Q: Is there any other way to get an Odyssey class or Bortas class starship?
A: Not at this time. The ship is free to everyone who completes the mission during this event. After the event, there will be no way to obtain these ships for some time. We have not decided on when they will return to the game. You can expect that variations of these ships will show up in the C-Store next month.
I assume a few additional things but these are my speculation only:
1) It will likely be released sooner than later. Money is everything to keep the game alive so i'd expect it very close to the 1st of the month.
2) the +1 version will likely have all the current features of the free Odyssey (such as the advanced slipstream)
We KNOW that it will have saucer separation and aux craft because of various twitter messages and screenshots
Additionally, I strongly speculate that the +1 version will have the ensign universal BOFF slot that was originally intended for the free Odyssey.
Finally, i've heard deep rumor/speculation (highly speculative) that the +1 Odyssey might even have an extra console slot of some kind or possibly additional stat increases like extra hull.
