Only one more day for the free gift, so in 23 hours we shall get our last gift so let speculation start.

A ship? A token? A Master Key? :eek::D

    So far, both items have been A.) 400 Zen, B.) Largely useless and C.) Probably low sellers in the C-Store.

    I'd like to see the Delta Flyer or a Uniform be tomorrow's gift. That being said, i'm still pretty much convinced that Melee Weapon Pack 1 will be what we get.

    Maybe we will get one of the bridge officers for each faction.

    3 ships, 1 for each faction! Or lockbox from each lockbox event and 1 master key (oh that's evil).

    I am not thinking, I am speculating, last year they gave a ship on the third day if my memory does not fail.

    the last 3 days of the 5 day event were indeed ships of some kind, T2, Shutle and T5, dont recall which order, but the final was T5 ship.

    Might be a pilotable vessel of some kind if they go with the final of last givaway since thiss is only a 3 day giveaway. t5? unlikely, but i wouldnt be surpriused if it was a ship.

    But Branny said they're account-wide unlocks.

    I don't think we will get the ship as 3rd gift. because there is already one ship ready for the anniversary and this is pre-anniversary so rewards will be smaller. This is not summer giveaway.

    I could be wrong, but we'll see, this time they didn't said what will be the amount of zen for each day so it could be anything.

    Last year they also had a five-day long giveaway period, and they gave away a grand total of six ships across two factions (Nebula Retro/Marauder Day 5, Phalanx/Nova Day 4, Yellowstone/To'Duj Day 3).

    I get the feeling that this giveaway was put together in a rush. I've already said why I think this was in another thread, so I won't bang on about it.

    Last I checked, they said that all the items will be account-wide reclaimable unlocks. While I'd love a reclaimable master key or, say, respec token, these things make way too much money to put on permanent unlocked status...

    I still have a suspicion that they're gonna want to put a "cheap" Fed C-store fighter (Peregrine) on the event to counter the flocks of To'Jod fighters (I think that's what they are) that the KDF got last C-Store giveaway...

    That would have me thinking that the KDF will get as the "counter" to this their Runabout version. Same with the RR, though they might do like the bridges and say "here, use your faction appropriate one... :P
    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...

    5 day giveaway was not during the anniversary but during summer. I don't remember we had giveaway last anniversary. So I wouldn't say that it was put together in a rush.

    In keeping with the "Promote ARC" theme & Khan outfit giveaway, tomorrow's giveaway will be a combination of the following items:
    Chromodynamic Armor
    Console-Tactical-Light Phaser Satellite Turret
    TOS Constitution Class Cruiser
    According to the Wiki, these are the items that came with the Steam Digital Deluxe Edition.

    We did have a giveaway of sorts last Anniversary. We did a mission (once!) and we got two free ships, an outfit piece and an accolade. Plus you could get Dilithium and a level appropriate item from the Mission.

    I don't follow your logic. Despite all appearances, Steam =/= Arc. The Arc promotion also has nothing to do with the Anniversary giveaway, other than that they convieniently fall on the same day/in the same week.

    And with the exception of the TOS Cruiser, none of those are readily available in the C-Store.

    Maybe the T4 retrofit that the Dyson ships are based on? So Bellerophon, Puyjaq, and Ar'kala? Skins and consoles reusable if we buy fleet ships, sticks with the Anniversary theme, but not necessarily giving away the top sellers.

    Same week? Same DAY...

    ...and other than the STO Launcher (which I still use) the biggest competition for ARC seems to be Steam. My logic was, in addition to giving people a reason to use ARC (Khan), giving away the Steam Giveaway items now erases the past reasons to have bought the Steam Package.

    As far as C-Store availability goes, they had this to say about yesterday's Horta:
    This is a special version of the Horta Combat Pet in that it is an account-wide unlock, and reclaimable if dismissed. It is normally a single-character unlock that must be repurchased if dismissed, traded, etc.
    So, if they can add in a special version of an item for a day, they surely can add other items back in for the day.

    It was a Cstore item. They just changed the description, they didn't add the item to the store.

    Aha, that made me laugh. Arc is not nearly competition for Steam. Lets not mention the fact that the number of games on Steam is as long as my arm. Let's focus instead on how Steam works and Arc, by and large, doesn't.

    But as I say, it's irrelevant. The Khan giveaway was all about enticing users to use Arc, yes. But it's not part of the pre-Anniversary giveaway. Hence, unless tomorrow also sees a Steam-exclusive giveaway, you should just consider it a coincidence that they happened around the same time.

    Strong that spanking is with the force, but not that strong. ;)

    Anyways, my bet is on a space pet, lirpa/bat'leth, costume or t3 ships.

    Come to think of it, it may indeed be the Peregrine fighter an earlier poster mentioned, to promote their new pvp shuttle event. But on the other hand the shuttle pvp may boost the sales of fighters anyway so no clue on that one...

    Probably the one in the spotlight in DS9.

    Starting the 1st day speculations i figured it'd be mostly voyager related, but history has proven me wrong on that one.

    Do i hope for an Intrepid Refit? Yes i do, but chances are not good.
    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.

    As everyone in this thread is speculating, I'm not sure what your need to shout down my speculation is about. :confused:

    If you want a 100% accurate prediction as to what the giveaway will be, here it is:

    It won't be a horta. It won't be one of the giveaways from this summer. It won't be a Science Destroyer. It won't be a T5 Connie.

    Happy? If not, go away.

    No, it's highly unlikely that tomorrow they give away a ship, they already ARE giving away ships, well rep grind aside, when the anniversary officially starts. The dyson science destroyers. So why give out another ship prior to that?

    I don't have any guesses as to what tomorrow will be, all I know is a combat pet for my feddie and free bridges for my Klingon. Already owned the defiant pack. Wishful thinking: A respec token of some sorts.

    I'm only pointing out that your prediction is based on the theory that the Khan uniforms - as Arc exclusives - are part of the Anniversary giveaways. Which is a fallacy; they are not. Hence why I also think that predicting that tomorrow's giveaway will be a bunch of Steam-exclusive items is a highly unlikely occurance.

    It could be. But it won't.

    Last time they gave away a yellowstone runabout, a to'duj fighter, a Gorn phalanx, an Orion battlecruiser thing(the big ugly carrier thing that's tier 5), the advanced science ship thing that looks like a cruiser, that other science ship from voyager were all ships given away.
