    You are missing one thing. Times the number of characters you have to put threw the paces to get said items. Your numbers seam to be set up for one character only.
    Its a good mind numbing extra layer of grind to add on top of evey thing else.
    why would you want to have the ship on all of your characters?

    I would want it on all my active characters. Never quite know how these things play out over time, and its a once-a-year event

    But your assuming everyone wants the ship on every character Last year I just got he chell Grett ship on one characterand I believe that if I want the raider I will just use the one character for that as well for the extra console

    Because a couple months from now I may want to use it on either of my characters.


    I'm still puzzled about what to do with my ROMs that'd need both ships. FEDs and KDF ust get the new toy, they all got the Chel Grett last year.
    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!

    I haven't done all of the math, but you can get a lot more than the minimum for one ship. I don't think you can get enough for 2 ships, but you can probably get at least 1500.

    please, don't forget to put a bank+ mail + exchange in the wonderland, people tend to complain because they move to the country side and miss the big town's commodity's :)

    the new bren ship seems more interesting than what i expected.
    i was wishing for it to be useless junk so i would focus on more fun things, but guess I'll have to go grind for some ... it's going to be a pain before flying those fun things.

    so ... guess there won't be a nano blade sword ? would be very cool ...


    you guys have been putting out very interesting events, since summer, keep the good work :)

    PWE's Scorecard for my experience with Season 8:
    Week 1---Patching. Not playing as Patch took all my 'play' time.
    Next 5 to 6 Weeks---Prisoner of Lag-Freeze. Out of several hours' worth of attempted play i only got a few minutes per session to move/do anything. My characters could not leave whatever location they where in prior to Season 8's launch.
    29 Nov---Finally was able to play Shere of Influence, but only on my main char.
    30 Nov---Was able to get a 2nd char through 'SoI'.
    1-5 Dec---Only got 4 more chars the Obelisk.

    So out of 16 chars i wanted to have get the Obelisk Carrier, only 6 made it. Of the handful of chars i wanted to do (some, not all) Feature Episode Reruns, i got to do Zero(0). So every char that missed out the last X times is empty-handed. again.

    Wage-slaves cannot afford to keep throwing money at the C/Z-Store for Master Keys. The one time i did slurge i did not get a single one of the highly sought-after multi-faction ships, nor did it make me a fortune in Lobi. What few Lobi i have left after the big Sales event ain't much; barely enough for a few packages at most.

    I have more Mirror Universe Ships than i know what to do with but i can't get a Galor without spending real-world cash to upgrade my account because its prices on the Exchange are more EC than i can have on a single char.

    So now i have to plan which chars and which Winter Events to do, hoping and praying i don't get a repeat of Season 8.

    Devs, I Sincerely Hope you take note, and fix what needs to be fixed. Please.

    PS - I fully support a T6 Nova, fixing the Nova skins. I am also rooting for a T6 Science Cruiser, that can use Nova/Rhode Island skins.
    T6 Nova/Rhode Island, T6 Oberth & T6 Constellation are needed. Also needed a T6 Science Cruiser, that can wear any Science or Cruiser skin.

    If I count it right, there are currently 42 days planned, the timer is 20hrs. So in theory, you could get about 49 dailies' worth of Q pictures. That's almost the 2k needed for both ships.
    BUT, the race itself will take some time, changing characters will take time (assuming you've got several to race with), patches may take place at the 'right' moment.
    And of course, I'm not a machine that only plays STO 24/7. Some days I can only log in late, some days earlier, there will probably be days I won't be able to log in at all...

    Clearly, I'll be happy if I manage to get 1 ship on all my toons. I'll just have to decide which one is better for my Reman and Romulans (or gain a fortune to blow on Lobi, but that's unlikely to say the least).

    The same as last year, all those services are available in the center of the gazebo, ask 'little Q'.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.

    anybody know how to do the "find the present" bit in the gingerbread instance?
    I can get to the present but then my toon just starts dancing and there's no way to pick it up or anything...

    This past year we all took on Romulan characters. Unfortunately, this was after the previous Winter Wonderland event. I am asking if it is possible to make Q's Autographed Photos an Account Only item. This way my other characters may do extra runs for these photos and if lucky accumulate enough extras to contribute to my Romulan toon so that he too may have both ships.

    I must admit that Cryptic did a terrific job of coming up with so many new things in 2013. I am 100% sure that all of us are very grateful for this work of providing many new things for us to do.

    Have a Prosperous New Year.
