    Y'know, I was about to join the "aw well, free stuff is free stuff" before I realized that this would be a big help with my Battlezone jaunts.

    Many thanks!

    Well, got a free premium account from gamersfirst, because APB Reloaded was under a DDOS attack. Be sure, if it would happen to Cryptic/PWE, you will get yet another useless Tribble or Horta. That's the difference between respecting their users base and not.
    I think you just proved his point...
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Exactly - evidence suggests that some people are actually stupid enough to think that they were going to get big, expensive items.

    That phrase nothing in life is free comes to mind. :D

    Nice to see account-wide Horta unlock, just as it was before F2P. Thank you for that.

    For comparison, top quality, first class MMOs like War Thunder gave away high tier premium planes last time. I know, STO isnt and never will be a first of even a second class MMO.

    And yet it will still always be classier than you are. :rolleyes:

    Meh, wish this Horta was somewhat useful and gave out a random mark an hour or something. Free is free so I can't complain too much.

    Seeking Dev confirmation:

    Do I need to go claim this special Horta on each and every character in my account, or does the one-time claim mean that no matter whenever I decide to do so, any character (both present and future) can grab this one-per-toon Horta since I claimed it on at least one character...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    Very pleased to see that the worthless "I don't like the FREE item' thread is gone.

    Seriously, seldom have I ever seen such self-entitled, ungrateful, drivel. And frankly, the fact that some players are daft enough to think that the FREE item should be something that suits them personally makes me sad.

    Wish it had actually. I like having a good laugh at all the ungratefuls out there :)

    I don't really understand what anyone has against a free combat pet.

    I think this is great. I can add it to one of my bridge officers to go along with the one I got from Mine Enemy.

    Can tomorrow be an Epohh combat pet? :P

    Answer is in the blog :) It's an account-wide unlock that can be claimed only until tomorrow morning at 10AM PST. Once claimed, you can reclaim in the future on existing and future characters on your account. After tomorrow, it reverts to a per-character/ one time unlock for new accounts/ players that never claimed it today.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Will the BO auto trigger it? If so then that changes my view completely as all I see it as is a waste of a slot on my captain.

    So if I buy two more char slots, wait until the next expansion, and make a new character...will I be able to claim the free Horta (which I got today on all of my current characters) for the new character?

    EDIT: NVM, thanks Bran.

    My 4 are frosted boots, tribble, shield and lat open depending what I am doing.

    All my Hortas are on BOFF. So awesome when they all pop.

    Thanks Brandon, that clears things up quite a bit. Saves me quite a bit of alt-hopping today... :)

    BOFFS will auto trigger EVERYTHING including the dang party poppers during a fight.

    I can never complain about something free. Thank you so much for a great game. Also I'll throw something your way and take advantage of the key sale as a way of saying thank you.
