    Uniforms or keys would be very welcome. Hope it's not just tribbles it lock boxes

    Could be a Tribble lockbox.
    Top prize: a lockbox full of tribbles
    The sad thing is after I posted this I realised Cryptic may like this idea :p

    Nothing particularly game changing will be released. There will be no free warbirds since they're not stale. (and I'll be really surprised if they give away the KDF ship with the leech console.. fingers crossed though)

    Giveaways like this are to serve 3 purposes. Get people used to the idea of using the zen store, increase traffic and to clear the shelves for the next set of goodies. With all the new content, some ships are getting close to their sell by date and are only useful as costume parts or to get you through the dull bits of levelling up.

    If you play enough be "entitled" to fly a free scimitar, then... you fly a free scimitar. (The Dil Exchange is a wonderful thing).

    I agree that! Costume wise, my guess would be the early TNG Admiral's uniform. It's so ugly, there's no way it could have sold well. :P

    How about Starship coated tribbles
    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 had to go to the tailor to see what you're talking about. If you're right, I may refuse to claim out of principle.

    It's an account on a WEBSITE. You don't download anything. You make an account and claim a key to use on the STO website under "My Account"

    Wrong, you do not have to install anything by alienware, I just claimed a code with my current alienware account and got my new char 2500 xp just for nothing...

    Might aswell take the freebie.

    So it says:

    To claim:

    1. Log into the game on a Federation character
    2. Visit the in-game C-Store via the button on the minimap
    3. Navigate to the ?Appearance? tab on the left
    4. Scroll down to and click on the ?Deep Space 9 Uniform? item
    5. Click the ?Claim? button towards the bottom-right of the interface
    NOTE: If you already have this item, you will be unable to claim it again

    Yet no where in the APpearance tab of the C-Store do I find the DS9 Uniform...:confused:

    Editing for clarification for those who will joyously run in screaming "Then you already bought it duh!" : It is not in my "Already Purchased" section either.

    Glad I'm not the only one, no DS9 uniform in my C-Store...

    Edit: It appears I already have it unlocked somehow... Perhaps when I got the DS9 bundle? I thought that was just the admirals uniform... At any rate check to see if you have it already.
    I once again match my character. Behold the power of PINK!

    For those moaning that they might not get something because they've already paid for it and expecting to be compensated for it, I'm sorry, but just because you're naive, clueless or just plain ignorant and don't understand the way the world works doesn't entitle you to special treatment. In many things, online gaming especially, you will find people are given something you paid for or earned for free. It happens, it's very common. Unless you are pitifully clueless you must have known when you made the purchase that it might one day be given to others for free, after all, the entire game was! If you didn't then your naivety doesn't entitle you to compensation, just pity.

    If you have claimed it before it disappears from the appearance tab on that characters c-store.

    Just go to tailor customize clothing and use the modify / create uniform to change a non fleet uniform slot to a ds9 tv series uniform 'apply to character'

    KDFs can't. And even if they could, infinite, account-wide access would lessen the value of lock-box keys and allow KDF Roms to spend that 2 million+ EC on other stuff. That and the obscene amount of contraband they can get from Doffs might be enough to make me change faction completely.

    it worked for me, I signed in just now with one of my fed characters, and clicked on the zen store, and clicked on the appearance tab, and voila, there it was, the top
    choice. Clicked on 'claim' and got it.

    For those who it didn't work for... try signing in and out a couple times perhaps...

    or see if you already have it perhaps... or try a different fed character, if you have one.

    Thank you STO and Cryptic.

    Apparently some people can't see the uniform. Could be a bug or something. Just in case, double check the list and also look under legacy unlocks to make sure you don't have it already.
