To celebrate this amazing summer, we have a new well-known starship being released this Thursday, along with free C-Store items each day of the weekend! Read more about it in our blog here.
Hmm a well-known starship... the Dauntless? Before I invest into another Tier 5 ship you really have to tell me exactly how it will perform compared to Tier 6 ships...
it would end up being THIS weekend wouldnt it? i have dragoncon from thursday till sunday. and no guaranty of internet in my hotel.
Could you not have a friend and/or family member acquire the freebies for you? All they'd need do is log on, select the item and claim. You could even go through the process with them before hand? Just an idea.
Well, this seems to be the logical choice, cause we know the model already exists within the game. The other option, as mentioned earlier, is the Dauntless; setting players up for Delta Rising.
Rats, leaving early saturday for family important stuff.
Almost certainly no internet, and certainly no machine with STO installed available.
However, that said, I applaud Cryptic for offering this deal.
Generosity is an important virtue, this is generous.......and, along with the alt discounts, goes a long way to blocking out the memory of the grindaversary (when generosity died)
Cryptic/PWE, word of advice on what you wrote:
"well list the eligibility requirements for each item in a later news post"
The blog post should have included that information.
While we're clamoring to learn more, you're barraging us with too many blogs containing "{redacted}" or other non-descriptive nonsense.
It's an unfortunate (even amateurish) attempt at marketing. Which saddens me, as I usually enjoy the graphics and text content which is delivered in past blog entries.

They're not going to give away items in the first post.. like other giveaways, you'll probably have to be a certain level to claim a ship for example.
Jeez. Some people expect too much. It's a wonder they even give free stuff out with attitudes like this.

lol, Cryptic has NEVER announced ahead of time what their free giveaways are. We'll find out when the free items become available, and not until then.
A giveaway is always nice & a release of a "known" ship does make me at least curious. But unless someone on Cryptics side completely spills the beans on all details regarding T5 to T6 (or T5 to be competitive to T6) ships my wallet is closed and locked away. I hope you guys do understand that given the circumstances.
I like free stuff and it's account wide unlocks as well so wonder if it's bank slots or something similar
I would really like something like free bank slots, doff/boff slots or ship slots. Almost everyone would profit from it either on their main or alt chars.
The constellation.. i would love to see the Dauntless... anyway, thanks for the freebies, as always!!
Constellation refit/retrofit my guess. I wouldn't exactly say that the Dauntless is well known (and its an easy thing to throw out there as one of the first T6 C-store ships.)

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
Its the only ship I can think of that still; needs to be released.
Well, they also have to release the voyager revamp at some point. You would expect it to come with DR but they could also have it ship now to double as indirect pre-launch hype/PR.

Also free C-Store giveaways are usually pretty good.
That said, I like free things.
that said, free stuff is nice.
Free stuff is always good, although cue thread after thread of whining because people either already have or aren't eligible for whatever is on offer.
I hope for the Original series Mirror uniform, just for the Terran embalm
Well, this seems to be the logical choice, cause we know the model already exists within the game. The other option, as mentioned earlier, is the Dauntless; setting players up for Delta Rising.
Unless this ship is free, anyhow.
Curious what the giveaways will be this weekend.

The ship won't be free. Trendy said they would release a ship along with free c-store items. She didn't say it's going to be a free ship.

Perhaps the most crucial rule there is, never believe the hype.
But if it's free, I'll take it. Free is a good price.

Free ship, it is going to be fed, so nothing for me
Its the only ship I can think of that still; needs to be released.
The ship won't be part of the giveaway. It's released this Thursday while the giveaway starts this Friday. It could very well be a new Tier 5 ship.
Because I see absolutely no point to releasing it now when it'll be pointless in six weeks time.
Well, they also have to release the voyager revamp at some point. You would expect it to come with DR but they could also have it ship now to double as indirect pre-launch hype/PR.
