LOL, they edited the blog. Well then the answer is given. :P
Now if we get some clarification regarding the Kamarag. If it will also be offered in the C-store as an account unlock, even if it's not part of the Giveaway?
yep yep yep then try to buy it, i wanna see how u buy it as a romulan char :cool:
it dont works! u guys dont get it? we romulans cant buy that ships. even we are with feds or klings
just the lower ones
You're not buying it. You're claiming it. They're not even available yet. Wait til they are.
Plus, my KDF-Rom has claimed at least 7 or 8 KDF ships to date in my recent leveling-up process. I only just got to lvl 50, but along the way was flying my KDF c-store ships with no problems at all.
You can fly any of your allied faction's ships up to lvl 40. Since there are only a couple of ships on either fed or kdf that are c-store ships at lvl40, it doesn't come up much, but it's possible. All of the rest are lvl50 and not usable (which is a bit of a shame, IMO).
u CAN´T use them. look on it in c-store. inform urself before talking brainless. U are able to choose the sides yes but also not for the higher ships just the lower ones and tell me, what makes romulanes unique? a part of it is to be able to use the sigularity warpcore so why i should fly around with a ship that cant use it?
To be honest, i am not certain that is true.
The temporal ambassador event was held before the release of the romulans.
Since the T5 Ambassador is not a paid T5 C-store ship it is very well possible that Romulans from both sides get access to this ship.
After all, the Romulans played an important part in Yesterday's Enterprise even if they were never on screen.
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.

Roms can fly the T3 version from their allies, but they cannot fly the T5 version.
Roms only have access to the T1-T4 (level 0-39) of their allies.
Romulan characters can not use tier 5 ships from their allies. Whether that ship is available at level 40 or 50 is irrelevant. Look, I get that you want to be hopeful and trust cryptic not to leave romulans in the dirt, but it's just not going to happen. Romulans will not be able to use the varanus or the ambassador.
I might have missed this, but has anyone found out if the TNG series 1 uniforms contain the special Worf costume pieces? I picked up this uniform on my first (and at the time, only) character when they ran the TNG anniversary event a couple of years back. Since then, I've acquired several other characters, including a Fed Klingon, and I would love to be able to use the Worf sash on him. However, it wasn't an account wide unlock, and so only my original character has access to it.

This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!
Well, no, it's not. The Fleet Support Cruiser Retrofit is going to be upgradable. But since the Support Cruiser Retrofit was - until now - only available as a mission reward, it wasn't eligible.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
Roms can fly the T3 version from their allies, but they cannot fly the T5 version.
Roms only have access to the T1-T4 (level 0-39) of their allies.
But the T5 Ambassador is an event ship and therefor it is possible that this hard cap on faction T5 ship does not apply.
As for those who were asking for D'deridex, we don't even know if that class was in use during the Kithomer Incident.

The Warrior Sash was a special event only. You had to walk up to a Worf hologram at SFA or on Qonos to get it. It had to do with the anniversary of TNG, not of STO. Totally unrelated to the costume unlock, though.
I believe it also came with a new hair option for klingon characters.

Yeah, I only had the one character at the time, so I picked up the free TNG series 1 uniform with the Worf accessories on him. Since then, the uniform was bundled in with the TNG series 1 Admiral uniform (why no series 3-7 Admiral/dress uniform?), but the Worf specific accessories have never been made available again. I was just vaguely hoping that since they were giving away the uniform that they originally came with was being given away free again, the missing Worf pieces might be included.

only thing of interest is the varanus, kdf very limited on science ships as it is.
Thing is, that's where it is kind of a problem...cause, well...for the longest time it was the only KDF Sci Vessel. Then the lock box Korath Temporal Sci was added. Then the Dysons were added. If somebody had been KDF for any period of time and were flying Sci...well, they've got the Varanus already - simply because there weren't any other options or there were very limited options.
No doubt, imho, it's just based off of doing a reverse of what they did last year (Fed Sci and KDF "Cruiser" - so - Fed Cruiser and KDF Sci)...but that they did it with the Ambassador, while leaving out the Kamarag...meh, just leaves a sour taste for me.
It's a factional reward for the event though. Feds got the Ambassador and the KDF got the Kamarag.
We'll find out on Monday. I'd like to get the T5 Ambassador for my Fed-Rom, but truth be told and if there is one faction which has been mamma's boy it's the Romulans and they could go two years without new additions and still have a lead on the Klingons.

Think that's one of the things some folks are forgetting with the Roms...they're just over a year old as far as the game goes. Though, with last Summer's giveaway...barely a couple of months old...it was a trip to see the complaints about why they weren't getting anything. Somewhere down the road, no doubt, Roms will probably start seeing ships being given away...maybe.
Cause, I keep looking at the Ambassador being the ship given to the Feds instead of one of the others...and well...they wouldn't give the Excelsior away, so there weren't really any options for them other than to kludge this with the Ambassador the way they are.
Hopefully next year at this time, if they do this again - or - if they do a pre-anniversary again, they'll pair the Kamarag perhaps with the D'Kyr.

u want me to quote the other ppls now also? u cant use them thats it. i can get a plenty of them but not the ships that are important and required to be able to play stfs
in addition...
im talkng about ROMULAN SHIPS not about fed ships. when i play with a romulan char then i wanna use the romulan ships and not the feds or klings or whatelse should be the reason to play romulan?

Go ahead and quote as many as you like, but that doesn't change the argument given. Event ship from prior to LoR and therefor the hard cap may not apply.
As for your willingness to use an Ambassador as a Romulan that is all your choice.
However the Ambassador is as much Romulan as Federation due to Yesterday's Enterprise and as such you have no right whatsoever to complain about not receiving a ship as a Romulan.
Not that anyone has any right to complain anyway since it is a free giveaway.

I did see two items I can get... I will be going in game to get the Raptor bridge set, and now I can get an Ambassador tier 5 for the rest of my toons (and any future toons); already got the Varanus tier 5. And don't forget to stock up on zen... we'll need it for DR T5-U. :cool: :rolleyes:

Probably don't have to wait until Monday... tier 5 ships are faction specific, to include, Romulans only have access to Rom teir 5 ships.
The question I want answered is this. According to the list of upgradable ships for the T5U blog the T5 Ambassador from the Anniversary Event is not upgradable. Will the T5 Ambassador from this givaway be upgradable to T5U?
Since it is no longer a mission reward exclusive then almost without doubt it will soon be added to the 'can be upgraded list' of C-store ships
#1 Why the Varanus Support Vessel instead of the Kamarag Battlecruiser which was a limited time reward for the game's 3rd anniversary along with the Ambassador?
#2 Will the free giveaway for the Ambassador give a fleet ship module discount for the fleet version? Not having it in the c-store before is the reason why I never bought a fleet version.
#3 Why no T5 romulan ship given away? Again you left them out of a giveaway event. During summer 2013 it was understandable since the faction was still new at the time, but it's been a freaking year and a half now. :mad:
I'd have to log in and look, but if the raptor bridges were given away last time then the only thing I don't have is an account wide T5 Ambassador. I own every single uniform/outfit for all factions. At least there's 1 item for sure I don't have. So....yay?
Oh yeah #4 Will the T5 Ambassador from this giveaway be able to be upgraded to TU5 after DR launch? Your blog said that ships from episode rewards were excluded so I'm wondering if you're still going to consider it an episode reward since it was originally available for a limited time during the 3rd anniversary.
If I were to hazard a guess at #1 I would say it was down to the KDF having very few science ships and last year the Feds had a sci ship, and the KDF a Marauder - so this year the Feds get a cruiser and the KDF get the sci ship. It is actually fair for what happened last year.
#2 Owning a store version of the T5 ship always gives a fleet module discount on the fleet ship so this should be no different.
#3 There are no Romulan players (only human) so all the games players have been given a potential reward. They do not have to give a sub faction anything.

#1 I guess that makes sense. But it could mean never having the Kamarag added to the c-store at all.
#2 Not necessarily. The T5 Ambassador being given away might be only available for players who were here to get it for free. It's possible it isn't being added to the c-store permanently so players who weren't here for the giveaway might not be able to buy it later. And if that's the case it might not give a fleet ship module discount.
#3 What? That makes no sense at all. I never said anything about "Romulan Players" and even if I did it would have meant players who play as Romulans. Romulan's are a faction and a species. They have their own T5 ships and can't use any of their allied faction's T5 ships. So yes they were left out of the equation AGAIN.

i have no right to complain? sure i have same like everyone else have the right otherwise sto would be never the same. it is a FREE giveaway yes but the romulans are not getting that stuff that makes sto to sto - the ships! even IF the feds or the kdf ships should be able to use for roms (to USE not just to get it and wont be able to use it) then this would be also worthless coz the romulans cant use the unique parts that makes the romulans unique same like every race, so what u want to explain now?
that its fine that all romulans cant get a 2k zen ship of thems race and the rest can? sure men :rolleyes:
