Give away speculation

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
New season on the horizon and the freebie giveaway is upon us.
http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9500383
With Season 11: New Dawn coming, we’re celebrating with free C-Store giveaways this week! We’ll be featuring something different each day leading up to the weekend, so be sure to check in and grab your free gift!

Today our Free C-Store item is our “Section 31” costume pack! This will only be around from now until August 13th at 10AM PDT so act fast!

Day 1 is/was the Section 31 uniform

Now speculate what's still to come.
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.

    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Well, it is generally stuff that doesn't sell...
  • giliongilion Member Posts: 686 Arc User
    My guess will be at least one KDF ship, since no one buys them.

    I probably won't even fly them if I got them, it's just that they look so bleeding pretty with the Type 3 hull material.

    As I said in another thread, my speculation is that the items they give away are the ones that don't sell very well, because giving away best sellers would hurt profits. So, factor that into your guessing.

    I wonder if they'll give away tribbles with the mirror universe on the horizon et al.

    Leading up to the weekend, that's Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Speculating that a Klingon or Romulan shuttle is in the stars

    Back in the day, I guessed that the Oberth class would be given away as part of the 2013 summer giveaway...

    Maybe I'll finally be right, eh?

    Maybe? :p

    Edit: Just to be clear, my guess was a pessemistic one. As it is likely one of those low tier ships that doesn't sell well and would make a nice 'token gesture' of Cryptic to give it away for free.

    Now I'd just find it funny if they gave away an Oberth class. LOL :p

    I'd love The Wrath of Khan uniform, but I imagine that's quite popular. The Exeter or other lower level C-store ship would be appreciated going forward as I'm thinking of starting another character for season 11.

    R&D Pack? (has happened the last few giveaways)
    Shuttle? (Peregrine would be nice)
    Radan or Fleet Tribble? (Unlikely, but one can hope)
  • farmallmfarmallm Member Posts: 4,630 Arc User
    Usually the Fed and KDF get stuff. Romulan has been left out. Be nice if they change that this time. Usually a ship or 2 could be handed out. R&D pack could be included. I doubt a Doff pack with the promo.

    I wouldn't mind one of the open chest uniforms for the Feds.

    KDF has been left out plenty too...I mean look at the uniform...it's a Fed uniform.

    On Friday, Saturday, or Sunday...I know it would never happen but would kill for a token for a T5 ship of our choice :D I know exactly what I'd choose!

    That actually is the entire point behind a giveaway. Give the stuff that no one wants in the first place.

    not likely but the flagship packs would awesome. even if I'd probably not use em. the lower tier temporal ship would be just as likely and just as awesome.

    more likely some kinda sci ship.

    mostly likely some ship we forgot existed.

    probably at least one day be fleet module, upgrade token, or r&d pack. you know some no one can really complain about but nothing worth writing home about.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    I wish They would give the IDIC Tribble away or at least make it available again to earn.

    Not necessarily. Sometimes businesses give things away that people DO want just to get publicity.

    This isn't very specific, I know, but poor-selling uniforms and low-tier ships are almost certainly the order of the day. Something mid-tier (3 or 4) for KDF and Romulan toons would be nice, as would good uniform options for both. I have a sinking suspicion that previous give aways will make a return, though, like TMP and Season 1 TNG uniforms and T1/T2 ships (probably even Fed ships, to boot).
  • kyrrokkyrrok Member Posts: 1,352 Arc User
    I like the T5 ship token idea too. After getting bamboozled in the whole T5/T5FU/T6 mess, even a token (pun intended) gesture such as this would help smooth things over a bit. It would be something I could use my last and also bound upgrade token as well. A small taste of the Prometheus before it hits T6

    Probably the TOS Mirror Uniform then... since the enterprise one sells fairly well.

    I find it hard to complain about a T5 token. Thats a great idea, but I dont think it would happen. Why don't they just post what each day will be like they have in the past?

    because then they have to listen to a whole lot more whine, TRIBBLE, moan and 'you should have given me this for free instead!!!'

    What are you talking about? Roms can get Fed or KDF stuff depending on allegiance.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    and based upon what Ive seen in the romulan forums... most of us dont want it. We want our own stuff

    I bought the Heavy Cruiser Refit (Constellation) yesterday, so I expect this to be given away :D
    Also fits with the "cheap and doesn't sell well" - theory.
