    Or if you don't want to give money to Cryptic, delete a ship.

    That's... that's... heresy! :eek:

    Heh, given the sorry state of science in this game I'm surprised the feds aren't whining too. Even the consoles aren't worth the time to login and claim these. I can hardly wait to see the final giveaway...

    Science? sorry? Umm... where'd you get that crack you're on?

    I might use the phalax shield for kerrat trolling...my bops so fast I reckon I should be able to fly through the shield before it becomes a solid entity; thus being a great pursuit escape toy...


    ...might need to test it though...

    Thank you, I have the Rhode Island, but I don't have the Phalanx, so thanks for that! :D

    Edit: Accidentally named the Phalanx, Varanus.

    That almost sounds ungrateful. Cryptic didn't have to do this at all, and they certainly didn't have to give away 6 ships from the c-store free of charge. Also, the fact that this is a 750z fed ship brings the numbers I was coming up with more in line with branflakes' math. They wouldn't give the KDF a 750z ship because their tier 2 ship is brand new with LoR. Don't complain, a free ship (and by extension a free console) is a free ship (and a free console!). Let me say it again: FREE.

    YES.

    But, you need a Fed & A Klingon at the appropriate levels to do so.

    You can claim the ships now to use later on y'know. If you're KDF toon is a science guy he'd get some good use out of the phalanx.

    Wow, good job cryptic, I figured it would be an escort or cruiser of some sort. Good job in showing some love to the sci. Gonna quickly grab those up for my 2 sci toons. Thank you again cryptic. I can have my crew lounging in their comfy new tunics while they zip along in their new Rhode Island class ship.

    Nice ships!

    However, I really want to know: does the Photonic Displacement console work now? As that on my T5 ships would be fun....

    If you have a c-store ship in one of those slots just delete it, claim free ship, delete that and reclaim original c-store ship.


    I didn't know I could do that. Thank you!

    Cheers.

    Have them both, but appreciated anyhow, does make you wonder about tomorrow though, since the total value isn't anywhere near the 7500 yet.

    Most tier 5 ships are 2000. Two of those would bring the total to 7850. A lot of people are expecting the D'kyr because of the sudden interest in fixing ancient issues with it.

    And the lack of value added by it having a fleet retrofit.

    Wait, so just so we're clear...these ships are ACCOUNT-WIDE? Meaning that if I purchase the Rhode Island with one Fed character, I would still have access to the Rhode Island if I made a second Federation character as well?

    Yep, you can grab the ships with high level toons and use them with alts later.

    Ah. So if I, say, got the free Rhode Island for one of my Captains, and then deleted it, the Rhode Island would still be available for selection for a new Federation character?

    Awesome.

    Cryptic, would you actulaly like me to spend actual Money? It's Simple:
    • Full, Story-driven, select from start 1-50 Klingon Side
    • Scrap current Lock Box & Lobi system for something more reasonable
    • Expand Dil and Rep/Fleet Marks to regular story content

    The only real downside to this deal is that the new patch is taking an incredibly long time...but then, I guess every cloud has a silver lining.

    I'm 6 for 6 for free stuff. Trying to patch the game right now, however, I seem to be only grabbing at 100k/sec instead of the 3meg/sec I'm used to. :( heh.
