    Different ship every year, if you missed it you're out of luck.

    If you have the project slotted on any of your chars, you should be able to complete it this year, and then claim on your other chars via the Event store.

    If not, you're probably out of luck, if you didn't have any of the previous year Risian ships, you couldn't start a project for them during the last Summer event.

    Don't worry.. the trait for the Sarr Theln sucks anyway. It's range is very small and most of the time it doesn't even work. The Sarr Theln is a nice ship, but the Trait is garbage.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    nah the trait is pretty cool, the mechanics of it and the fact it seems to fail 1/2 the time are what is garbage.

    I use the Sar Theln carrier trait whenever I am using a carrier and can fit it but it really isn't as good as it sounds.

    The range is short. It only heals hull. This sucks because most times if a pet is out of shields, it's dead and even if you heal them to full hull, their shields remain down and they usually die pretty quick afterwards anyways. And finally the launch cooldowns are fairly short for most pets so even if they die, it's easy enough to launch out another one and save a trait slot for a different trait.

    I guess it's probably more useful now that those Callista escorts are an option. Still, there's better.

    One other trait I like for carriers is the Geneva class trait. Using a Tachyon beam heals shields of allies within 10km. This includes pets. So if you Tachyon beam something, your pets within 10km go back to full shields. IMO it's even better than the Sar Theln one for carriers.

    False, because of the change in grindable currency. By now you either own the Sarr Theln or you can wave at one as it passes by.

    I hate this thrive for uniqueness thats been happening in this game the past year. As a guy who owns all of the Breen ships.... I have absolutely zero issues with anybody else getting them this year. What do I loose by more people having the Sarr Theln? Ow noes its no longer a way to show off how much time of my life I spent in this game dooom!!!!!!!11!!!1!!!one!!!!!

    The worst players off right now are however the people who just started playing about a year ago. People who got the Sarr Theln and got told at the time that next year they could unlock the Plesh Brek for the frigate pets. They are now stuck with a very good carrier that has access to horrible-to-mediocre pets.

    Actually, I believe that you have it wrong. You can complete the old slotted projects with the old currency OR the new currency OR a mix of both. At least, that's how it was during the summer event.

    @tom61sto & @nccmark you are both correct, you cannot slot it afresh this year but providing you have it slotted either partially filled or even completely empty you can complete it with this years tokens, having said that make sure you do complete this on one character and this years ship on another character because if both or either projects are not finished when the event ends they will be deleted, this is your last chance to complete a carryover winter mission from the year before, from now on any summer or winter event projects that are not completed will be removed at the end of the events.
    you need 25 days to fill one project and the event is running for 42 days so if you only have one character and you are trying to do both projects you will find it extremely difficult unless you have a good amount of last years project already completed or you can take advantage of the 20hr timer to gain some extra tokens.

    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.

    If memory serves, cryptic let players to slot old ships last winter event. Meaning, you could slot all the previous winter ships. I'm not sure about this time though since they retire the old stuff. Always love winter event. Breen ships are the best imo. The breen carrier beat the Jupiter from design to boff layout. I use 2xA2B on the breen carrier with 6 beams and watch the npc melted :). The Breen cruiser is also crazily awesome... so is the Breen raider. Best regard to the breen ships designer!!

    From http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9644853 (scroll down to FAQ):

    What if I have a partial Winter Reputation project in progress?

    Those of you that already have a winter ship project in progress from a previous year’s event WILL NOT lose any progress, and can simply finish that project either with your existing Autographs, or with the new currency when it arrives.

    Can I slot a new project for previous Winter Ships?

    No. These ships are being retired with the start of the 2015 Winter Event.

    Ah well I stand corrected. Good news!

    Too bad though that new players won't be able to get the old ships. Bummer I disagree with still.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the dreadnought has a hanger bay and unlocks the frigate pets in the hangar stores.

    nah the trait is pretty cool, the mechanics of it and the fact it seems to fail 1/2 the time are what is garbage.
    Can confirm this observation. I've tried hard to observe any healing effect 'within 5 km of your target' after using a hull heal. I will keep trying, but if it really is that broken, not even worth slotting even on a real carrier. Pets have always been one of the most bugged, nerfed, and monetized-fixed entities in the game.

    While it does occasionally fail for me, it works the majority of the time for me. The far bigger issue is the pets being within 5 km of the heal I'm casting, probably why people think it isn't working at all is pets being >5km away.
