Judging by the responses, its the "account-wide unlocks" part
That's what I was wondering also. Respec Tokens, Character Renames, and things like that are services. If they put them up for 0 ZEN, people could claim them repeatedly over the 24 hour period of time. I am hoping for the AGT/Endgame uniform, Intrepid Retrofit, and MVAM Prometheus as they were all featured in Voyager. What ever the items are, I'm more than happy to claim them. I just hope it won't be stuff given away for free in the past.

day 1 ds9 uniform since that's the same as the 1 from voyager
day 2 delta flyer
day 3 the intrepid
.... for feds following the voyager theme. but that said anything will be cool. so thanks team for running this kind of promotion.
Can't be certain, but i think the DS9 uniform was in the Summer giveaway. If so it won't be this time as branflakes has said that none of the items in the Summer will be in this one.
Man this looks amazing. Hopefully I can get a free Avenger for my fed toon
Not likely. One of the newest fed ships and one of their current cash cows..
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.

They gave us the Yellowstone and the only KDF Shuttle the To'Duj Fighter for the summer one so the Delta Flier is not a very likely one this time since the only other shuttle not done as a freebie was the Scorpion. Unless they do another tier vessel of the other factions to match the Shuttle. Just my thoughts on that. They did do the T2 Rhode Island with the T3 Phlanx last time so not going to fully rule out the possibility of different tiered freebies on the same day.
Free stuff tomorrow! I can't wait to be disappointed cause I already bought whatever it is so get nothing! And then 2 more days of disappointment after that too. So excited!!!!! :rolleyes:
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

I read that as "whinewhine I paid money a long time ago for something everyone who's paying attention will get for free tomorrow and Tuesday and Wednesday whine/cry/tableflip".
I really hope I'm reading that wrong, because this is entirely what's wrong with people in general.
Back to random speculation, unfortunately we don't have cash value totals like we did for summer, so speculation is a bit more tricky this time around. I'm pretty certain an intrepid class will be in there somewhere, and I can wildly hope that the Prometheus gets given out for free, though I doubt it, and here's why:
Fed players gain access to free Prometheus console-compatible ships at 45. The Mirror Patrol Escort (I think) is also Prometheus console compatible. It also reduces the cost of the fleet version, but I was one of the ones saying the Nebula wouldn't happen this summer, so I could be completely wrong.

With all that Delta quadrant thing, I would expect them not to give those things as it could be some of those are starting to sell. For example, Tuvok is in the game, people could be buying Intrepids now, but who knows, maybe Cryptic will be generous
It might sound a long shot, but I'm actually crossing fingers for an Odyssey full-pack unlock (and of course, the Bortasqu' and Scimitar for KDF/ROM). I know how unlikely it is, as two years ago it was a free giveaway on the very same day, but as back then F2P wasn't really a thing (one tier only), I can see this as a small gesture for those who've been loyal to the game in the past two years. Plus Romulans need their freebies too
There is no chance that the free ship (if there's any at all, given we're getting new freebies just the next days) would be the Avenger - though I wouldn't mind it - it is too new, and packs too much of a punch in a cruiser. If it was a freebie, PvP would change a bit to the better for those who do not buy stuff from the C-store.
The Multi-Vector escort is also unlikely, given how cheap is the mirror counterpart on the Exchange. Hell, you can barely get 100k for a req. pack, and the prices are going down! I know it does not pack the MVAM, but the ship is basically almost the same.
I don't think that the Intrepid would be the other giveaway either - again, we're getting a "giveaway" of a sci-tac ship pretty soon. Adding another science ship to the bunch would not encourage anyone to go for one or either (well, the Dyson ship would be fun to have OFC). I for one would probably never claim the Intrepid refit, as I would have no use for it.
The most logical would be a Cruiser, and from that, we have a wide range of selections. That leaves us with the Assault and Star Cruisers (both are available for pretty cheap on the Exchange, so no point giving it away), AHC retrofit (pointless again, for obvious reasons), Support Cruiser R was given away last year, Avenger has been already excluded, and there's Dreadnought Cruiser (way too specific and every player who wanted one already got one I believe).
After sorting that list, we're left with the Assault Cruiser Refit, Galaxy-R (logical, for the 28th get-together, though then last day will be a low-level giveaway), and the Odyssey.
Of course only if PW follows logic here and not just get a big sheet of paper with all the ships printed on it, then throw one-one coin around for each faction
Yeah, those of you who think they are going to give away ship packs valued at 50 dollars...I really wouldn't hold your breath. They don't give away ship packs, nor do they give away ships that were only recently released, either, so don't count on the Avenger or the Mogh.
I'm still hoping for the D'kyr; I've always wanted that one for my Vulcan science officer.
10AM PST.. let's see that's 18.00 GMT and 19.00 for European mainland.
I hate timezones.

Whatever they are, you can guarantee that someone will moan about them, despite them being free.
Have been practicing all weekend for the main event. :P
But seriously, sometimes it feels like the Star Trek Community is being taken over by grumpy old men.

If it isn't a brand new 12 console ship, complete with a full purple crew - Both DOFF's & BOFF's, and 15 weapon slots, someone will moan.
Only 12 Consoles and 15 Weaps? ... Pfft ... I want 18 Consoles and 24 Weaps! ... Oh and 10 Universal Cmdr BoFF stations !!! ...
Seriously though, I'd be happy with some free Klingon outfits ... Oh wait ... THERE IS ONLY 1 ... Even the new "fraction" has more than that! ...
Oh well, some Keys or Bank/inventory/BoFF/DoFF slots, or maybe a Klingon bridge or two Oh wait we can't have that one because there is only ONE Romulan bridge :mad:... hmmm

So, I'm betting a hybrid ship for each faction Federation, Romulan, and Klingon.
I called it.

Yea. The Destroyer. I thought those would be hybrid ships.

what about the other 2 factions this wouldn't be fair to the Klingons and the Romulans...
sounds like a cheap giveaway for Fed's only you greedy fed.
This is only a summisation. A personal opinion. Only when the giveaway starts will we the players know what the items will be.
But I'm not going to automatically assume that the Federation offerings are Voyager related.
They might surprise us.

class ship or the account shared bank slot
I'm still hoping for the D'kyr; I've always wanted that one for my Vulcan science officer.
I hope it is an Odyssey too.
Today: Next Generation Uniforms Costume Pack
Tomorrow: Thunderchild Class Heavy Escort Refit
Wednesday: Aventine Class Multi-Mission Reconnaissance Explorer
These guesses may or may not be a reflection of what I'd LIKE it to be.
I hate timezones.

Day 2 : KDF version
Day 3 : Romulan version
Day 4: Fleet & Retrofit versions of the free ships are announced costing 5 fleet modules or 3000 zen respectively
Have been practicing all weekend for the main event. :P
