You can come, you just don't get a new toy for doing it, as I said entitlement.
right so I can come but I just don't get to play the fun party game for the prize, thanks for that, again.
this reminds me of a story - when I was a kid about 8 years old I got invited to a birthday party, we got to play loads of games with prizes, I was chuffed as punch when I won the pass the parcel, it was only a little prize a tube of smarties I think but that didn't matter, then the birthday boys mom made me give my prize to him, I just cant tell you how that made me feel but ill tell you this whenever I had birthday parties for my children every child that come got prizes whether they won one or not.
I was just gonna say this makes me feel about the same as that sad little boy who had to give up his smarties.
that's a true story by the way, that was nearly 50 years ago and it shows what an impact that made for me to still remember it now.
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.
Both previous years, the mission has been a simple meet and greet, not a matter of security. Don't let information get in the way of a good irrational rage, though, this thread is clearly not angry enough.
I heard an unconfirmed rumor from an unreliable source that the mission will take over 9000 milliseconds this year. :P
No, this is like a shop that every year gives a Golden Ticket that doesnt do anything, its just a Golden Ticket.
Yet because you come last year and have a Golden Ticket you want form them this year to give a Silver Ticket because you want something new and you already have a Golden Ticket.
This is entitlement because you are saying you only go if you get a new shinny for it.
whatever, im too depressed to even discuss it any more.

How about a Phoenix Universal Cruiser? Same design, only 1000x bigger. Same specs as above pretty much, with the addition of the Steppenwolf Torpedo Launcher.
OP has a point. This years gift should have been a flyable fleet Phoenix with 5 universal seating, 8 fore weapon slots, 1.43 shield modifer, 42k hull strength, 23 turn, battle cloak, singularity powers and ten tactical consoles.
Then it shall be enough.
Maximum flight speed in sector space: Warp 1.
Unaffected by transwarp engines and incapable of slipstream.
The FCD rewards are fine, except for the Fed one. Nobody uses space pets, they just take up bank-space and gather dust there. Replace with ground pet or weapon plz.
Tyr shall give me strength! For the glory of Tempus! I am the hands of Shar! Flames of Kossuth, protect me! Oghma, grant me knowledge! Lolth commands, and I obey!
if people are so disatisfied with it, then don't participate and stop trying to ruin it for new players like me. I happen to be looking forward to it, thank you very much.

The Same TRIBBLE again!, I like having the flag ships around don't get me wrong, but the same pets, same prizes for a third year in a row, not many people are without these things barely anyone uses space pets anymore, and it's just so tacky now (barring the romulan stuff)
I've got more phoenixes than I can handle, turn them into disposable hangar pets then they'd be useful. CHANGE THE DAMN REWARD!!!
Do a Cochrane coat, or a tribute to worf's one handed blade we often see him use, SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!
Not everybody has those rewards. This is a chance for the players who missed it before to get those rewards.
And the Phoenix makes the most sense for First Contact Day. It's symbolic of that historical event in Trek lore. I seriously doubt that many people in this hypothetical 25th Century would know anything about (or give two-s**ts about) Cochrane's coat.

Agreed, which is why I was pleased when i saw how Cryptic handled the last winter event.
Not everyone was around when the Breen warship was first offered, so that was put back onto the table alongside a new ship for the people that were here then.
Everybody as happy as they could be. No sense of one side of the community having to give something up for the other side of the community, a non zero sum game.
However, that hasn't happened for this event, which is a shame.
First time for me, I guess it will be cool to get this stuff, however I rather see less RP in game and "moar DoTs", JK. Seriously though something useful would probably be better.

ATTENTION! Attention everyone. Look onto me and listen to my opinion! This event is so lame. I announce that I will be officially protesting this event until Cryptic gives us better rewards for it! Thank you for your time, you may return to your game or forum browsing.

It's all right. Basically an advertisement for the 3 pack ships but it's cool thanks to the LOBI.
On a side note, it's really funny that the Lleiset has a +plasma torpedo damage console, yet it's main anti-undine torpedo is photon. Nice going cryptic.
How dare they not turn this into a multi-day grindfest!
That's sarcasm, in case your sarcasm detectors are malfunctioning. There's a part of me that wishes they would change up the rewards, but at the same time I appreciate a recurring award, as it'd be a shame for new characters to miss out on time-limited things.

Or the Bortasque with cannon powers and, well...no cannons...
All in all, it's way better than before. Cryptic did a good job. It's nice they added to the story, not everything needs to be about rewards...
Edit: oh and giving the aquarius pet beams is helpful. It's still almost useless but having beams means it actually hits things now

My god it's full of tentacles.
I thought that was Cardassians.
The tentacle monster is looking for Sulu.
I've seen enough hentai to see where this is going........
If we could have more of this it would make all the difference in the world.

Seriously!? Over something so minor? Damn
I blame the Parents

Could it be because in all the rambling and poor comparisons you never had a point beyond proving mine?
For the glory of Tempus!

And when I did that first, I got to keep it...or at least the prototype.

What are you giving up again, exactly?
