The KDF don't have C store uniforms they only have one...Romulans are to New to give away, and Brandon said that ahead that Romulans are not getting anything...and KDF are getting ships day 3-5.
And what does this giveaway have to do with anything on that list.
^And this is why some things never get fixed, I am not asking for the world, as I have most things in this game. I am suggesting easy things that could help this game become better an grow.
Continue acting like a child though, it will surely help this game...surely.
Yes, complaining about free items, is surely more mature.
...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.
Free items that most players already have...especially anyone that was around slightly before the last patch this year. Again I am not even asking about ships or great giveaways that will make players flock to the game, I am saying they need to cover ALL factions. That is why this topics says Cryptics Continued Lack of Forethought. This seems to happen more often, it is called a PATTERN.
First, most is not all. Second, there are thousands of new players who came with FTP and thousands more who came with LoR. They don't have that stuff. It's nice if some of them can get it and use it.
The next 3 days are going to be ships for both Factions. My son loves the KDF but doesn't own most of the ships. It'll be great for him to get the ships and the consoles for free. There might even be a ship in there I don't own. Again, getting it for free is a good thing.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
"Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev
Roll a FED alt and collect the free costumes. Stop complaining.
Heck, I rolled a KDF, even though I don't really like the Klink design aesthetic that much and thus haven't really played them much, just so that when we start getting ships I can get a crack at both kinds.
(Incidentally, Malthit made Captain last night. I've been letting the random name generator take care of naming my ships; he went to the Shipyard and took possession of the Puch-class raptor IKS Ti'bag. )
I'm curious;I have six characters, two FEDs at levels (I think) 31 & 35, two KDFs at levels... 25 & 29(?) and two Republic Characters that are still in their teens.
Should you release a Free Tier #5 Ship, I'd seriously miss out. There ain't no way I'm going to be able to get all six of my characters to level 50.
My play style is unorthodox but it is what works best for me; my 22 active characters are spread across 8 accounts, and of my many planned characters 4-5 will be made after the summer event ends and the rest are pending the necessary unlocks/purchases. One of the characters i wanted to make in open beta/launch was a Fed Klingon and finally made him for the summer event though couldn't get him to Lv 10 in time to participate. I have spent money on 3 accounts and have Zen on 4. I intend to go lifetime on my 2 core accounts and maybe a third when i can afford to do so.
So as it stands my handful of Lv 50 chars are on only 3 of these accounts and it will be a struggle to get 3 chars to Lv 50 though i will try. But i'm way behind on 2 chars flying around collecting Lohlunat Favours for 14 chars to get better floaters so, we'll see.
I hope that at least they'll start with the tier 2 Refits then tier 3 Advanced ships. My greatest concern here is even if i have adequate chars for faction and Lv to claim and not having any ship slots for them. Can we get a crate or at least the unluck until we can afford the slots? because there is no way i can afford to buy any zen before Friday and even then there's no way i can throw money at more than 2 accounts at most. I fear many players will have qualifying characters bot no slots. Even though i'm catching up on the threads i've already seen several posts reference getting rid of ships to make room, which hardly seems fair from my persepective, and many seem to share that sentiment.

Me, I would rather get another uniform set, one that I don't have right now, say, the Bajoran Militia set. One of my chars is Bajoran, and the set would fit in nicely, since I'm working on her to have all Bajorans as BOFF's

So, two fed side outfits DS9 and TOS Captain's Wrap. A shuttle, Yellowstone Runabout and To'Duj fighter, a Rhode Island class and Phalanx Science Ships. And a Nebula Class and an Orion Carrier.
Not Bad.
I was hoping for a Galaxy X, but a Nebula is cool. Be nice to have if I ever get around to rolling a Fed Sci. And this is my very first carrier, so I'm looking forward to the test drive. Not to mention testing the raiders.

Agreed. My Main/LTS Account had both the uniforms and T5 ships (Days 1, 2, and 5), but was able to pick-up the Day 3's small craft (both Yellowstone and To'Duj) and the Day 4 middling ships (Rhode Island and Phalanx).
Not a blowout for me, granted, but free is free and I'm pleased to have received what got. For free!
And my Alt/Silver account was able to claim everything. So that was really a nice Win!
THANK YOU CRYPTIC!

This was a really nice idea and although for me personally I already had everything except the Yellowstone I am sure it helped out a lot of new players. Are we likely to see this kind of event repeated I wonder?
If we are to be getting another event such as this, it wont be for a while.
It's been what, three (and a half) years now since STO launched, and this is the first time they've run this sort of promotion. We shouldn't expect another one any time soon.
What we need to do though (as a community) is not buy the things we want most, then we'll get it for free in three years time. :P
We are excited to announce that we will be giving away FREE C-Store items next week. As we will feature something different every day (Monday 8/12/13 - Friday 8/16/13), you won't want to miss out! Read more for details.

A good rant at least has a point. This reads like your anger asplode on your keyboard.
And what does this giveaway have to do with anything on that list.
The community manager explained how it will work with the free giveaway here for you:

Really?
Yeah, that sounds like an easy fix to me.

The Nebula Sci Ship really came in handy for my Sci Toon
Great way to show appreciation to all the players (even though some might of already had what was given away) but its the thought that counts right?
Thank you for the gifts.
