    looking at your comment I must ask a question, what is the point of using the line through on an error like this instead of just using delete? it just doesn't make sense to me and just ends up making the comment look untidy and slapdash.

    BTW you should have put a line though "is today" and replaced it with "was on" while you were at it.

    You are right, I didn't think about "is today". The line is simply that I admit my fault that was already quoted, no need to pretend I can eliminate it from history pig-3.gif​​

    I see your point about admitting the error as I just see it was pointed out to you however there have been many instances were I have seen this and it was either on a comment that the error had not been highlighted or even on the last comment made in a thread.

    but even if an error is highlighted better to do as you just did in a reply then use the line through IMO.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Unless i am mistaken, today's the last day for the give away.
    Considering the theme for season 11 i expect something DS9 related, but i don't see them giving away T4 or T5 Defiant or DS9 packs either considering they try to keep the gifts faction neutral.​​
    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.

    According with sources (German) the gift is an upgrade voucher.

    Tech Upgrade ?
    Ship Upgrade ?

    It would be really great if they gave away a free respec token.

    Page says "Upgrade-Gutschein". It's probably a ship upgrade token, but my German is a bit rusty.​​

    Yeah, that's "Upgrade Voucher". Pity, I really thought the Klingons would get the T5 Kamarag Retrofit to balance out the Feds getting the T5 Ambassador Retrofit earlier in the year...

    Hmm... If true, I'm guessing 1 per account?

    So a ship upgrade token... not bad.

    Um, yeah, "gutschein" is coupon. So it sounds like a ship upgrade token.

    definitely an upgrade voucher, does not specify once per account so I am hoping 1 per character, that is better then a ship IMO especially if you have multiple characters with the same T5 c-store ships.

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    A ship upgrade surely is nice. All in all I, as a spoiled hog, have to say I am a bit disappointed with those giveaways. I was at least hoping one of the early T5 ships would go with the upgrade token.​​

    Upgrade tokens would be very cool, even better if it's one per character!

    It would maybe encourage people to go out and buy C-store ships for the Admiralty system if they knew they could upgrade them for free.
    But then again T5-U is fast becoming less desirable as the volume of T6 ships rapidly increases.

    Meh. I still have 3 of the 4 ship upgrades that came with the DR pack sitting unused in my bank, and no interest whatsoever in upgrading anything besides the Scimitar I used the one on.

    personally one upgrade token even at one per account goes a long way if you have more then 1 character on a faction.
    if its 1 token per character and if you have say 6 characters with 2 on each of the factions even more so.
    players could be looking at upgrading 2 ships for each character if used correctly or even more if players have more characters then this.

    being as I have only ever used the upgrade tokens I got from the T6 Delta pack or from my lifetime sub I have a fair few T5 ships that could use an upgrade.

    for example I was only ever able so far to upgrade 3 of the 9 ships I got in the dyson mega pack wouldn't it be cool to upgrade the rest.

    It's official. Ship Upgrade Token. One per account.

    What I'd like to know before claiming is how it is bound -- account-bound or character-bound? I don't have any T5 ships at the moment so if it's character-bound I'll need to guess which character is most likely to use it later.

    Apparently the upgrade token won't stack with the ones I got from DR pack, so now I have to waste another bank slot on it. Great.

    Good thing we got 12 of them earlier.​​

    I'd guess the mirror uniforms or the DS9 uniform might be included? Both relevant here with the focus on the Cardassian revamp.

    Usual giveaway tactic seems to be uniforms and smaller pet/services, small c-store items really.
    Maybe a ship for the last day but not really sure what kinda would be appropriate?

    OK, next giveaway speculation:

    What will the QWW ship be this year?

    If it isn't Breen?

    Or Ferengi?

    It's a breen dreadnought. Check the admiralty system.

    Winter ship is most likely the Breen Razketh Dreadnought T6... Whether it will get a graphic update like the Sarr Theln did last year or not, that is still in the wind...

    Most likely will since the current model is rather primitive.

    The thing is, that was their excuse for the Crab-Theln we got last year; "The model's too primitive, it's just a kitbash of the Chell Grett"... and then they left the old model in the game for NPCs. (Don't get me wrong, I like the Sarr Theln, two of my characters use them, but I actually preferred the old model).
