Friday Giveaway Speculation

kjwashingtonkjwashington Member Posts: 2,529 Arc User
edited August 2013 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I believe that it was said in another thread that the total cost of all the C-store items would be 7100 zen.

DS9 uniform: 550 zen
TOS tunic: 550 zen
Yellowstone: 500 zen
To'Duj: 500 zen
Rhode Island: 750 zen
Phalanx: 1000 zen (it looks like they're actually trying to make this even for the feds and kdf)
total zen: 3850 zen
total remaining zen: 3250 zen

This means that they could bump up the total remaining zen to 4000 zen, which means that we could receive 2 tier 5 ships!

What I would like them to give away is: the B'rel Retrofit and the Tactical Escort Retrofit (Defiant)

What I expect them to give away is: the Varanus and the D'kyr

Thoughts? Discuss.

P.S. Cryptic it's my birthday Sunday, please give away the B'rel!!! :D:D:D:D

    I think it would be cool to see the Gal-X, especially if they're working on getting the fleet version ready for release. :)

    Ya, but the Gal-X costs 2500 zen, so I doubt they will give it away, otherwise they would also have to give away the Guramba.

    Nah. They aren't going to give away something that people still buy. My guess would be D'kyr and Marauder.

    The sudden interest in fixing ancient issues with the D'kyr makes me suspect that for Feds.

    KDF side, my first impulse was the Varanus, but on further consideration, the Varanus is one of the few KDF tier 5 C-store ships that does have a fleet version, so in addition to the ship for free they'd be giving the fleet discount. My current first guess is the Marauder, second guess is the Kar'fi.

    On the same logic, distant second guess for Fed is the Atrox. No fleet version there, either. And, the devs have been giddy with carriers lately. I'm shocked there wasn't a carrier in the lockbox, but if the FE alien carrier turns out to be Elachi, then... well, their restraint wasn't long lived.

    Please, not the Defiant and B'Rel! Those are literally the only two T5 ships I've bought from the C store, lol!

    I would not be surprised if we got the D'kyr, considering:
    Fixes to the Vulcan D'Kyr ship separation and docking animations have been made.
    Reduced the cooldown on launching the D'kyr's Tal'kyr Support Craft to 90 seconds.

    Interesting that they would finally get around to that... :cool:

    Either way, I'm sure whatever we get will be somewhat decent, the past couple days have at least been items that I have not had, unlike the costumes :p

    Good point on the Varanus, but I doubt they will give away anything that costs 2500 zen (Kar'fi). But since the B'rel doesn't give a discount on it's fleet counterpart, I'm still not counting it out yet. I would really hate for it to be the Marauder, It doesn't even have a special console.

    Kar'fi is 2000, not 2500.

    Don't worry, I highly doubt that they will give away the Defiant, considering it's popularity. But I'm still not counting the B'rel out just yet. :D

    Oops my bad :D I derped there. But considering it's one of the most popular kdf ships, I still doubt that they'll give it away.

    It's not gonna be the b'rel, I wouldn't be surprised if the b'rel is a big seller on the kdf side and Cryptic are not going to let that income slip them by.

    Hrm...


    BTW the zen costs are 7500ish not 7100 ;)

    Anywho

    Since the odds are we will be getting a free T5 ship (thanks for the math kjwashington! :)), I'd be banking on the defiant and B'rel myself OR the excelsior and the b'rel.

    Both ships already have Fleet variants and I haven't really seen many of them floating about recently (granted I'm not at home so it's a bit more difficult for me to really pay attention), but the recent work on the D'Kyr makes me more believe it's getting a fleet upgrade more than being given away this week.

    Granted I'd love to have the san palo as the unlock since that's one of the very few ships I don't have currently and would just adore lol.

    I might get flamed for saying this, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Intrepid or possibly the Prometheus. :D

    Well, so far I've gotten everything except the DS9 Monday Uniform... so... here's to hoping they don't give me a T5 ship I already have tomorrow. :P

    Though it will be pretty easy on the KDF-side... I haven't bought ANY ships for them...

    IMHO they will release an escort class or cruiser class ship for each side, probably a cruiser. Which ones I have no idea.

    I'm thinking for Federation it will be the Vulcan D'kyr. Seems strange that they suddenly fix the ship in a patch. Of course maybe a fleet version is incoming, so not certain at all.

    For KDF it could be the Marauder Patrol Cruiser. Doubt it will be the B'rel since I'm sure that sells fairly well.

    Of course the above is working on the assumption of 2x 2000 Zen ships. If they offer 2x 2500 Zen ships I have no real idea. But a Fed Odyssey and a Bortasqu would be a welcome surprise.

    We'll have to wait and see. :)

    For kdf my bet is Marauder Flight-Deck Cruiser or maybe the Kar'Fi Battle Carrier if they go with 2000 zen ship (doubt they would give b'rel away) or the command or war bortas if they went with 2500 zen ship.

    I am going with D'Kyr and Marauder.

    I do not think it will be any of the 600 day ships.

    What I expect: D'kyr/Varanus.

    What I would love to have: Nebula/Varanus. (Cause I already have the D'kyr:P)

    What would make me jump from my chair and run in circles: Defiant/B'rel. (Even if I have the B'rel, the Defiant would be an awesome suprise)

    Anyway I'll be happy with anything since I didn't have any of the items they gave away so far. So I already gained a bunch of cool stuff I didn't have. :)

    I am thinking the Excelsior, and the Kar'Fi. I'm sure it will be a C-store L/A ship.But hey, free is free.I still have alts that would use, and enjoy them.:D

    You know if you never try to speculate or anticipate things like these giveaways or the new lockbox or even latest games/movies you never will be disapointed. Just adopt a wait and see approach to everything.

    I'd be a bit disappointed if it was another sci ship, but, y'know, it is what it is. I'm hoping for the MVAE or Gal-X, or maybe the Gal-R just for fun. :)

    The HEC would make me a happy Voporak, though. :D

    Anyone get the feeling they might give away an Odyssey or Bortas? Brandon said himself that there was over 7500 worth of zen to be given away, and considering that what they have picked are ships that aren't exactly winners in the store, I feel we could have a good chance at these ships.
