    There, there. ;) With only (I think I counted) 7 console slots, it's a bit of a LOL-ship anyway. I only claimed it to see whether that Tetryon detection grid thingy could perchance be used on my other ships too. It can't. No biggie.

    Seriously, with all the OP stuff you Roms are getting, Roms should be the last one to complain, really. But yeah, you're not missing out on a super endgame ship or anything. To those leveling up it will be a welcome gift, though.

    And since it was offered FOR FREE, no one has cause to complain at all, really.

    I get the very distinct impressions that these are items nobody really had, and were not actually selling at all. I say this, because before this promotion, I saw the Orion Ship and Nebula around even fewer times then I saw the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship (Bug) or any other incredibly rare ship. Same goes for the Uniforms (bar the DS9 one, which could be obtained from a lockbox), I just never saw them around.

    But still, I was expecting this to be all Fed side uniforms and maybe another Tribble (seriously, can't we just do what the Klingons want and exterminate them), but never did I expect a ship, never mind 4 full size ships and 2 small ships.

    Great promotion, though.

    If you can't solve it logically, solve it like a moron.

    51 + 1 Foundry Character Slots is NOT enough. Some of us love our characters. If I want to buy more character slots, why can't I? I couldn't experience the entire Delta Recruitment event without deleting a character.

    The Iconians themselves can't time travel because their memories revert, but there is nothing to say an Iconian couldn't write everything she needed to do on a PADD, pin it to herself, travel back, read the PADD, do the tasks and return. Or just get one of her Non-Herald underlings to go back in time for her.

    Want a Star Trek themed starship command fan-made Board Game that isn't fiendishly complicated but not so easy it's a joke? Download mine for free here. https://roebot56.deviantart.com/art/BOARD-GAME-R56-s-Starship-Command-STAR-TREK-Edn-682732468 A Stargate version of the game is available from a link in the description.

    Oh yeah, I do Foundry missions for both KDFs and Feds. Just search KSTF (Short for Kinas Special Task Force, where Kinas is the name of the Admiral you will be serving under). The earlier ones are less story based and more combat based, while the later ones have a much heavier story element, but keep the large battles.

    I find this line of replies sadly hilarious. We put a lot of work into the massive list of fixes/changes above, and ya'll are hung up on the ability to skip our content. =p

    fIRST ATTEMPT at multi-quote. If those above had not read yet, you have all weekend to get your KDF or Fed up to level to get yesterday's ships. Me, I will be resting soon after doing a few missions and doing Mirror event in 4 hours. Cryptic really understood how hard it would be to power level to 30 and you should take advantage of this rare opportunity to both level and see new mission content and get something for free at the end of your hard work.

    To those of you above not complaining or concerned about not being level, thank you for realizing this was pointed out and for realizing how awesome this promo has been.

    and I am glad some people have no life and can power level toons, as I have a family and a job I don't have that luxury and I did not read when they started this that you would have to be a certain level as I am glad they did the giveaway, however I think it is wrong to essentially cut out anybody playing a Romulan and low levels, the least you should be able to is claim the free reward to be able to use when you do reach level 40 and not make everybody have to power level when they have families and jobs

    Yeah, kinda sad I couldn't claim all the rewards either. She they felt the store had to have the level restriction and not the ships themselves.

    2nded. we should have a little more time to claim this or get a package to open later.
    I think i'll miss out on the free KDF and I bought all the Fed. ships that are not vice admiral level.

    I claimed both on Friday but still have to try them out especially the nebula to see if it is better than my star cruiser. And see if my tactical klingon can use a carrier.
    Have to say I'm pretty happy with this event and thanks Cryptic for all those freebies this week. Hopefully we will see things like this in the future

    Late, but I still want to thank you.

    First, as extraordinary as it is, I previously didn't have any of the giveaway unlocks, and at the very least, I'm quite happy with the Nebula (at times, I considered getting it).
    (So glad the last ships weren't the D'Kyr and the Varanus, as I had bought both before.)

    Second, it was very nice of you to leave the Tier 5 ships available over the weekend. I almost didn't manage to grab them yesterday and have now learned that had I not, I could still get them now. I guess some newer players may even manage to level fast enough to get the Marauder and Nebula retrofit.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Romulans can't use it because it's a T5 ship. They can only use T1-T4 ships from their allied faction.

    Also the Vesta is a beast of a ship. You should check out some of the builds down in the shipyards if you're having problems with it.

    "Oh, I know! We give the ship to everyone else for free!"

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

    if its that ugly why don't you go into design and remake it :P....

    Dang, you really took your time for that didn't you. :P
    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.

    had a close call there, while collecting one of the earlier free ships that you were so kind to give us i noticed that i had omited to claim my Vice Admiral/Lieutenant General Ship from the lifetime subs rewards so made my way to the various Starship Requisition NPC with fed rom and kdf.
    with my kdf i was torn between the Kar'Fi Battle Carrier or the Marauder Patrol Cruiser eventually picking the Kar'Fi.
    imagine my surprise and relife when i saw that the Marauder Patrol Cruiser was the very ship you give us on friday, i was so glad i hadnt chosen that one.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    I just want to say once again, Thank you for extending the last Give-a-way till this morning...

    I managed to get my Klingon toon from level 26 to 43 over the weekend and was able to claim the Marauder yesterday afternoon.

    I haven't played with K'Davok in a very long time, and it was a pleasant surprise to see how much You have improved the Klingon experience.

    I remember it took me quite awhile just to get from level 0 to 26.

    I'm even thinking of joining a Klingon Fleet at some point.

    Anyway, just wanted to put that out there.

    I tried to do the same, from level 22 to 37. Too many other obligations, so I couldn't get enough time in. Did episodes, DOffing and Mirror but couldn't quite do it. :(

    My Klingon is "happier" since he got to search for the Sword of Kahless and got the Shard Sword of Kahless... I almost didn't realize that it has 4 mods on it!

    It was fun playing KDF for a change, felt a little guilty fighting Feds though. It was glorious though! I will be able to use my Tier-5 Kamarag soon now!

    It was a good weekend to die!... many times! :)

    Thanks again, Cryptic, for the Nebula and all the other stuff!
