Risian Corvette Discount unlocked? Wha?

When logging in on my Vulcan for the first since season 9 launch I received a strange message in game:
[System] [LegacyFloaterMsg] You acquired a Risian corvette! You've unlocked a discounted rate for other characters on this account!
Screenshot of the system message http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/MonkeyGuts69/risiancorvettediscountunlocked_zpsea9acc82.jpg~original

Well this character did get the Risian Corvette during the Risa Summer 2013 event. It makes me curious what the next summer event has in store for us. I may have received the message on my Klingon, Reman, and Human that got the Corvette last year also, but didn't read the message that pops up on screen until I logged in with my Vulcan. Those were the only characters I got the Corvette for last year.

    Intriguing.

    I have a toon that got the corvette who I haven't logged in on in a while.

    I shall see if I can get the same message

    Got the same message, but I simply thought of it as a bug.
    Rejoice JJ Trek people....

    Why are you not rejoicing?

    I think they will introduce a change with risa, a bit like the rep grind, if you already have the ship, then it's cheaper for the other characters. A good way to have both the last year ship and the new one, if you missed it for some reason.

    OMG, you are going to love this....

    I can confirm that the message pops up on a toon that already owns the Corvette.

    But thats not all.....

    ...because I also have a couple of toons that I stopped collecting favors for at the 480 mark.

    It was a bit of a grind.

    Now, when i check on one of those toons a discount HAS been applied.

    The bar now only requires 400 favors.

    The toon in question actually has 480 in the track, the project is shown as completed, and the resource bucket is full.

    Sadly, the claim ship button is greyed out.

    I can only assume this is something that was intended to be rolled out with more fanfare later, but was included in a recent patch.

    Odd, I logged into my main and didn't see that message and Chiyo's the only one who has the corvette. Hrm.

    Apparently the Breen ships are going to be affected as well, but I suspect the patch for the Breen ship discounts will be after the Summer Event. Surfboards and swimwear have already been confirmed for the Summer Event. There is apparently pictures on the Foundry that has a Risian Cruise Liner with parks inside the ship.

    Odds are you just missed it thinking someone had captured another poor Bioship. ;)

    The message flashes by so quickly its hard to read it fast enough even when you're waiting for it (I needed to log on 3 toons to figure out what it was). You probably just missed it.

    I wholeheartedly love this move and it shows Cryptic did indeed listen to the playerbase as what was supposed to be a fun event turned into misery when one had multiple toons to work through. Along with many of the other "alt friendly" changes made along these lines I believe both players and Cryptic will profit in the form of fun and well...profits in Cryptic's case.

    Well done.

    We're looking at adding a similar discount to the winter ships, but that would come in a later patch. Note that this would be on a per-ship basis, e.g. if one of your characters has the Breen raider, your other characters get a discount on the Breen raider, but not on the Breen cruiser.

    If your rep system seems to be stuck, try jiggling it a few times (slot a project and then cancel it).
