Yeah, they just acknowledged in the bug forum that old players from first year are screwed on this.
I feel like a bad party guest who doesn't get the 'get out loser' hint.
Same here they cant force me to leave I'll stay here run my race again got plenty of days left but at this party I'll drink the same glass of koolaide but never go and buy a new one
Hooray ... no fix incoming (for the forseeable future ...) ... still wondering what was the "fix", then ...
Actually they are working on the fix for that right now.
One of our programmers is currently investigating the feasibility of getting the account unlock to "hear" if you currently have the Chel Grett or the T5U Chel Grett. If this is feasible, I will update the account unlock feature so that it will also check to see if you already have a Chel Grett (of either type), and grant the account-wide discount in such a case. (A similar hook would be needed to add the discount if you have the console that comes with the Chel Grett, but had discarded the ship -- perhaps putting the console on a different ship or keeping it in your bank.)
Well darn, I was hoping the patch would fix it. I hadn't tried it to see. As I was wanting to get the Cruiser next for the consul. So I could use it on my carrier. Well the event isn't over yet, so hope they will fix it.

I dropped the gret project and started a new one. The discount went active. To be safe I am keeping all the photos on my alts. If I have any issues I have a way out. If not I will have a jump on next years ship with extra photos.

This does not work! At least not for the first year Gretts. Hold on to your photos if you have a Grett from year one and be patient.

I said "for the forseeable Future" ... maybe they'll fix it in 2 weeks, maybe next year, maybe never etc ... remember the Romulan Doff from "Junior Officer Weekend" i.E. ... fix never happend and they just dropped him instead ...
It looks like the issue is those who got the Chel Gret the first year, before the current Reputation System was designed, are the ones not getting the discount.
There's been some discussion on how we might address this, but I have no idea where that stands.
So, for now, to get the discount one has to complete the Reputation project on at least one character at the full 1000 cost. The discount is looking for the completion of that initial project. If you acquired the ship any other way than via the Reputation project, the discount will not apply. That's my understanding of the issue.
So, if you want the Discount this year, you should probably start gettin your 1000 Pics, before it's too late ...

Anything to TRIBBLE over the players, and they wonder why they receive negative reactions. How about just allow the Chel Grett to cost 40 photos for this year if they can't fix it?
Everyone is happy with that right? Sure people may QQ about brand new players getting 2 Breen ships in one year, but who cares?! It's like big companies just can't be nice-- Even near xmas.
The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.

Exactly what I was thinking. Not like anyone is going to spend tons of lobi to get The Chel Grett anyways. It would essentially cost them nothing to do this other then the few hours of program time to change some digits on the amount of photos needed. It is obvious from the other issues they are having they are going to be working on the winter event code anyways. I certainly don't care if the new guys get it for less and I ran the event for the ship the first time with 3 accounts to get it on each for 1000.

I'm inclined to agree with this. Give us all at least a few days to get it for 40 - it IS free anyway, right? Or, if you get the sarr for 1k, unlock chel as well.
Quick update: Got some new tech from one of our programmers, currently working on updating the Chel Grett unlock and testing it locally. Going to send an update off to QA for testing.
I can claim the raider for 40, but the destroyer demands 1000 pics of Q. I have the destroyer opened previously on multiple characters.

The main sticking point seems to be WHEN we got the Chel Grett. If you got it last year via rep project, apparently it works. But if you got it when it was first available before the rep system...

That seems to be the running theme anymore in STO. Long-time players get out.
Same here they cant force me to leave I'll stay here run my race again got plenty of days left but at this party I'll drink the same glass of koolaide but never go and buy a new one
We also got f'd on the accolades and STF outfits with season 7
