    Trying to act like this is some grand conspiracy by Cryptic to TRIBBLE over ~the loyal customers~ is just embarrassing yourself.

    I don't think it's a conspiracy -- I just don't trust PWE. I think their business model proves they can't always be taken at their word. *and* they have a record of not listening to customer feedback (like bug reports, constructive criticism on FE's, C-Store suggestions, and such). If I isn't a game killer (or a money maker) they don't care. They want our money, not our loyalty.

    Common sense.

    I claimed it without any problems. I hope to see more Starfleet characters around wearing this uniform now that so many people can get it for free. Love seeing actual Star Trek stuff in this game.

    I didn't have the DS9 uniform, and I actually wanted it. Hang in there, it's only the first day :)

    This is probably most people though

    Where do I find the pants for this costume?
    I thought they wore long loose pants on DS9.

    I assume the free costume comes with the pants as shown on the models in the store?
    Or is that a different pant option shown on the models? What am I missing?

    I see the "jacket" in the tailor (and it looks great, thank you)
    but nothing DS9 related for pants for the free costume.

    (There are a few DS9 pants on the "full" list but those are for extra Zen)

    For me this is not a give away.

    I already got that uniform cause I paid for it.

    Why couldn't cryptic give away items no one yet posesses? Or simply give free ZEN?

    Except that's all irrelevant, daqhegh. They didn't lie: If you don't have it, you can get it for free today. If you already have it, you can't get it for free because *you already have it* not because anybody lied for any reason. It's because, and I can't emphasize this enough, it's a permanent account unlock that you already have.

    I had bought DS9 garb previously from the Exchange with my Fed, yet I still found a Claim button under the Appearance tab with my Fed-Romulan. Nice! Looking forward to tomorrow even more :)

    There are no DS9 pants. The pants used for the uniform are the TNG pants. The unlock only gives you the top part of the uniform.

    An Exchange purchase is a single-character unlock. The C-Store as account-unlock - every Fed character on your account can now use the DS9 uniform.
    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.

    I may have the uniform already, but thanks anyway, guys. I for one appreciate the gesture of free items unlike the majority of the players whining about it in-game.

    I don't know how you Cardassians can drink that stuff. I'll take my happy bubbly Hoomon rootbeer instead. :P

    Looks like I may have already purchased this, but it's not showing up in my C-store at all, let alone as purchased or available, so I thank you for putting this up today, and look forward to tomorrows freebie.

    I would FIRST like to say this is the BEST promotion yet Cryptic and PW have come up with.

    As a Lifetimer I have seen less appreciative promos. By far you guys deserve KUDOS.


    Unfortunately, while on Risa, the chats were blowing up by people who were less than satisfied with FREE items. Items that Cryptic and PW would be losing monies over. However, AS A THANK YOU to the players, all Cryptic and PW get was a SLAP in the FACE.

    TSK...TSK...TSK...

    Thank you, Cryptic, for giving the people who haven't bought the costume pack the opportunity to get it. I really appreciate it.

    Anyways, i just found out that i can not claim this uniform.
    The reason seem to be that i bought a game pack, not sure which, but in that pack i was supposed to get uniforms.
    The uniform that was with the game was the DS9, but i never could claim it because it said it was discontinued.

    I hope this will not affect the giveaway on ALL days but just this time.
    :-)

    First: Thank you for the uniform. More clothes is always a good start to get dressed for the new ships coming soon ;)

    But: I Can't redeem the DS9 Uniform.

    No such Uniform in the C Store for me.

    Then I Thought "Well maybe an Interface issue - go to the tailor and try if you can get it there".

    Yes, I can...for 500 Points...so I definitly didn't own it already...

    Any ideas how I could redeem this item?

    I agree. It's like we are getting nothing for supporting the game.

    "Here ya go, free stuff for people who haven't given us money! Oh wait, there are some people who have already paid for this item... Ah, don't worry about them, we got their money!"

    In the very least, reputation compensation boxes should have been given out. Similar to the Omega conversion crates.

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
    Some people will find anything to QQ / WAAA / GRIPE / QQ about.
    It's FREE!!!! So what if you already have it. I already had it.
    Make a game of your own and give @#$@#%$ away as you see fit but FFS stop bit**ing about it here!!!

    While it is true, I have most of the appearance items, I look at this from a business stand point. A decision was made, I agree with it.
