Nah, the big surprise is that it will be a KDF-focused giveaway this time, in an attempt to improve player spending on multi-faction play by giving folks something to try out over there. Of course it will be one free C-Store ship per tier other than T6, since that might get folks through the leveling process and interested in spending on KDF T6 ships and low-tier ships/special consoles. Oh, and day one will include a Klingon Academy costume unlock, day three will be the Vandal as a real push to get folks spending where they might not have otherwise (and KDF players will have mostly purchased it anyway), while day five will make the Dahar Master longcoat available for purchase in the C-Store at a one-time discount price of half-off in addition to the ship! The gain outweighs the cost, from their perspective, as they are either giving away things that would never have been purchased in the first place or are already owned by those that would do so.
Really, that's totally it. :P
This would be hilariously epic trolling on the part of the devs. The only thing more epic would be a free Scimitar giveaway, then nerfing the bejeezus out of it in a week.

I hope that there would be a romulan dreadnought bundle, odyssey bundle and bortasqu bundle giveaway

At least there would be no discussion that in that deal the Federation got shafted.
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.
Think of all the really useful stuff they could give away? You peeps thinking hard? Now... forget that, and think about all the not so useful stuff they will end up giving us.
Now, sit back and watch all the fanboi's TRIBBLE and moan about how we all should be so grateful cos Craptics giving away free stuffs, like thats all they've got to be worried about. :rolleyes:

Regardless of whether it's a "Thank you," "We're distracting you from x," or "sorry," or even a "here's some free TRIBBLE no one seems to want" reason, it's still free stuff. Complaining about it is childish and petty.

For our first giveaway, were celebrating by giving out an exclusive Research and Development Pack! This R&D pack is loaded up with all sorts of materials, components, catalysts, and more for Captains to advance in their latest projects! This pack is redeemable once per account for Captains, so grab yours up today!
Oh wow. A whole fifteen minutes? I hope someone gets it in the neck over *that*...
If its a 24 hour item, it should be available for 24 hours, not 23 hours and 45 minutes. If they, like you, thought these things are unimportant, and did this all week, Thats over an hour of access that we lose to these items. It soon scales up. The little things matter, because unattended, they soon become big things. They need to know these things are noticed, hence my earlier post.

Looking for a new fleet? Drop by the in-game chat channel, "tenforwardforum", and say hi to the members of A Fleet Called Ten Forward (Fed) and The Orion Pirates (KDF). If you already have a fleet you are happy with, please feel free to drop by our chat channel if you are looking for a friendly bunch of helpful people to socialize with.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

Thanks, I didn't expect things like the consumables were on the menu. Cool, as others have said, its universally helpful, unlike the costumes which some might already have.
Appreciated, and I do look forward to the rest of the week.
Not sure I'll ever use it, but free is free and lots of people will like it.
Hoping for some ships and even uniforms in the next few days. Bound to be something fun, even if it is something to make one of my characters look ridiculous (It's one way to pass insomnia induced mornings )

Open it, and put all of the items on the exchange. Depending on what you get, should be worth a couple million EC or more.

No. It's an R&D pack
They just edited the old post rather than make a new one.
edit
aaaand it seems it isn't in the store. derp!
Its in there *now* but it took them about 15 minutes to get it in there. I bet they wont be as tardy when the promotion ends.

Lifetime no longer gives a forum title. That should be updated on the Lifetime page that mentions what you get. PMing the CSR doesn't work neither.
A R&D pack......
and whoop de doo
And only ONE per ACCOUNT.

True enough. Thank you, PWE!

Personally I would rather get a free R&D pack than a uniform that I would never equip. Works for me, because it is free

I missed out on the rank 40 versions, as I didn't have time to lvl before
it's like they don't want people to play this anymore
Current time is 1845 GMT, which translates to 1245 CST (IE: Cryptic's time?) Yet the pack is still 300 zen?
The free one is under Promotions.
