So does this mean that if it is a lvl 50 item you have to claim it on every lvl 50? Or does this mean that if we claim it on one lvl 50 toon that it will be available to claim on every fed/kdf toon? And is it only account wide till the end of the event or once claimed will it be available for all toons both present and future of that faction? Say I get the free ship on tuesday and a month down the road i make another Fed/kdf toon can he get the ship as well now that it is claimed?
Given that it specifically says account-wide unlock, and Brandon mentions that there are going to be ships and costumes given away, chances are if you meet the eligibility requirements with a toon, all future toons will be able to claim it. It works the same as if you purchase a zen ship pretty much.
God, I'm really hoping that the Nausicaan Scourge is one of the giveaway ships--love the fleet version of the ship, would like to change the paint job without paying $15.
Nice surprise for once, let's just hope it's no snags.
A little bummed that there's not anything for the Romulans. Yes, they are new and all, but a little something something would not be amiss imo. Maybe a unique singularity core that levels with you, or a unique ground weapon, so that every faction gets something, including the new Romulan faction...
Surprising and very very welcome... Question though, could those starship gifts include proper Romulan Timeships with Singularity Cores and Cloaking?

given the answer probably be no but ill ask anyways: Brandon, will any of the ship bundles (excluding romulan dreadnaught bundle) be available in this giveaway?
You guys would not be thinking of throwing in a "special" prize - like a extreme retofit Galaxy -X with 10 consoles - some uni boff slots and an enhanced 8 turn rate? Would you??
edit - wow got ninja'd by a few seconds - but my Idea is better!
Let's hope there's at least one thing I haven't already bought haha.
There's a lot of older stuff that I still don't have, so even if they're just giving that stuff away I should be able to get my hands on something I can use sooner or later.
I'm guessing they're not going to give away account-wide unlocks for a Tactical Escort Retrofit, but I guess we'll see.
Anyway, TYVM Cryptic! This is a nice surprise.

No, there are no Romulan ships available for this giveaway, they're too new.
Its also known as Sarcasm.

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.
With my luck it'll be the Oberth i purchased yesterday.
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.
"simply log into the game on an eligible character (we?ll list the eligibility requirements for each item in the individual news posts),"
...this will be interesting...

"I condemn false prophets, the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all."
I will say in advance that there will not be any Romulan items given away (e.g. Romulan costumes or ships) as they are pretty brand-new.
And on the days (yes, days plural!) that we're giving away a ship, there will be a KDF ship and Fed ship (you'll need to claim each on the appropriate, eligible character). So, there will actually be more than 5
I don't think you know what sarcasm means. When someone whines about a stupid timeship (LOCKBOX item) after Crytpic is offering free ZEN stuff, that's not being sarcastic, that's just griping.

After some of the "fixes" and/or "stealth nerfs" of late, this brings me joy
See, I even used the "toothy grin" smiley. Seriously, this is unexpected and very nice. Thanks guys!
It works just like the items in the C-Store do now, except for the item(s) being given away on that day, instead of it saying X ZEN, it will be "Available" and you have a "Claim" button. So, for the costume on Monday, instead of seeing "550 ZEN" and a "Buy" button, it will say "Available" and "Claim".
Enjoy!
Cheers,

So with the lower tier ship unlocks, even Romulan captains can benefit, at the very least from the consoles and/or weapons. Plus, since it's an account-wide unlock, we can claim the ship with a single ship slot, boot that ship, and claim the next one to unlock that ship! As bberge1701 said, coolness on the order of zero degrees Kelvin. Of course... I'll probably want to keep them all, I like my ships.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
Watch: By Monday night, Earth orbit will suddenly be filled with Tier 1 Connies.
And then, STFs will be filled wtih Tier 1 Connies. It'll be the joke of the week.
That's cool and all but what's the fraking point if I can't use federation or kdf with my rom when it plainly staits I can pilot ither one should I chose when taking a faction/side >.>
I says in the thing. You can pilot 'any' federation ship/or kdf ship should you chose.. So why does the zen ships ***** i can't access them?
Comments
I take it that if you already have the unlock then there is no choice - as in it will be a specific T3 ship and not any faction specific T3 ship?

BRUNT! FCA if i were you i would not be quoting those backwords rules or you might find yourself falling from the tower of commerce!

BUT I ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING !!!!
...
i guess it's the thought that counts.
...Though I'd really like that Regent-ized Negh'var that Geko's been proposing on interviews...

I am in the same situation. Better luck next year I guess.
C store ships not Lockbox ships
dear Lord, please include a Gal x
And yes, i actually would be happy about the Gal X, because i would never buy it :P
on a more serious note, guess its time to get a subscription running, this event is more then i have seen from next to every MMO company out there...

anyway this is an awesome thing (even thou I have almost everything in store).Its something you dont see in other games so its awesome
Monday - Costume Pack (TOS maybe for both)
Tuesday - Playable Race/BOFF ( Caitian/Fersaean)
Wednesday - T1 Ship ( NX/ BOP)
Thursday - T3 Ship
Friday - T5 Ship
I figure a Playable Race could be a neat prize for an account.
Ahm.. Branflakes is the beautiful dark haired woman in the video standing next to this big man called Captain Kiki. Right?
...this will be interesting...
Dacoit Flight Deck cruiser please?
