    fyi the ds9 uniform used to be the tng movie uniform

    [nerdmode_on]Actually no, the original DS9 uniform was first used in the DS9 pilot 2 years before TNG ended. When Voyager premiered, they got the same uniform and since then it has also been referred to as the Voyager uniform. In addition it was used by some TNG character in the movie Generations.
    When First Contact was released the TNG crew got entirely new uniform, the one with grey shoulders, more layers and better materials, which then got adopted by the DS9 crew mid-season 5[/nerdmode_off]

    THIS. Also I'll never understand why some people rant about free stuff. I think it's great and looking forward to seeing what's next. If somehow I don't qualify for something (which I kinda doubt) I won't be too upset about it, or mad that it's something I already have, or disappointed because (insert favorite faction here) didn't have a freebie today.

    That said, this place seems slightly better than Bioware forum so maybe I'll hang around.:D

    Even if you don't have it, it'll show up in the tailor with the zen coin icon by it.

    I never bought the uniform, and it's not available at the tailor. The item is nowhere to be found in the C store. If this item does not show up, what about the rest of the items this week? I'm afraid they won't be there

    As hevach states, it would still be in the Tailor even if you hadn't bought it - it would have a C-Store icon next to it meaning you needed to buy it.

    You are either just overlooking it or think it's a different DS9 shirt from the one you have had for years.

    Edit: Go to the Tailor, click on Modify your character, click on Uniform under advanced, click on Upper, scroll down. There are 3 DS9 choices: DS9, DS9-open, DS9-Admiral. The first one should have a check mark next to it - meaning you can use it. If not then it has a C-Store icon with a cost next to it.
    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.

    The freebees would increase in cost so it won't be the enterprise uniform.

    I'm rereading the posts regarding the "giveaways" and I don't see anything that talks about the price of the prizes, only that they will be available for 0 zen during the sale. It would be nice if they gave you a ship, or something. But if it is current c-store items, it doesn't seem that there is much other than ships that cost more than 550 zen (If I am remembering correctly ).

    Please correct me, if I am overlooking something, here.

    Branflakes said that the value of the free giveaway would roughly increase through the week. (But that Wednesday would be slightly less expensive than Tuesday, basically stating that Wednesday was the small craft for Fed/KDF). So today will almost certainly be a costume, Thursday and Friday will be ships. Bran also said that Friday's giveaway will be the most expensive of them. Its in a post linked near the beginning of the thread, think on the second page.

    Yeah thanks for the heads up. Here was that link again to all of Bran's hints:

    Bring it on! That is something to write home about, huh.

    A free ship would be neat, maybe we'll get that on Friday if we're lucky. Nice signature btw. Federation Class right? I wonder if those are in the game...might look slick with a refit with movie era components.

    Regarding the bolded, you mean tomorrow through to Friday, yes?

    some days (3, Wed-Fri) there will be a Fed and KDF ship that can be claimed for a total of 8 items.

    Something like that, you mean? :D
