pls after winterland event end make that token from character bound to acount bound, so you can get reward in case you cant finish event on one char in time, but with multiple it will be posible.

Best thing you can do is slot the project, pump all tokens you have into it and keep it slotted. This way you can complete it with the next winter event's new tokens, which is a nice move on their side imho.
Or you can be dumb impatient and spend a fortune on lobi and buy the tokens in the winter event shop.
"FAQ:
Why are you retiring the Autographs?
We want to maintain the exclusivity and collectability of the event ships from the Winter Event each year, and in order to do that we will be retiring the existing items. When the 2015 Winter Event begins, an entirely new currency will be needed to acquire the event starship. This will be the process going forward – a new item to be collected each year.
Our goal for this change is to ensure that everyone participates on equal footing for the release of each year's new ship.
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.
What about discounts for alts?
Moving forward, all starships earned by completing an Event Project will be unlocked for all characters on your account. Visit the Event Store to claim them on additional characters!
What if I don't finish a Winter Reputation project?
All in-progress Winter Reputation projects will be removed before the subsequent year arrives."
So the project (if slotted this year) will remain in your projects list, taunting you until the next applicable event, then POOF!
Nuff said.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
Don't these two completely contradict each other?
Statement 1: you can finish old running porject with new arriving currency
Statement 2: you can't finish old runing project 'cause it gets removed when the new currency arrives
So, WTF?
Yes, this exactly. Very basic wording and idea, but I still dislike these ships being made limited edition. Put em in the C store or Lobi store!

They will leave lobi packs online for a month like at summer event.
They already did figure out "their" solution, get it done within the time limits they set, or you're burnt.
That is good to know, but I bet the anniversary event will be the last time that will happen. Only reason I give it that long is so they can be fair with this anniversary being the first one under their new exclusivity system.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
puting them on c-store sounds like good idea, you will miss chance to get it free, but hey, at least you have chance to have it.
They are giving away an awesome thing for free but you have to play by their rules to get it, this is completely reasonable.
I agree, and a permanent solution too - like adding the ships to lobi store, for example. Not a solution in veins of "you have 10 days to spend a fortune on lockbox keys to open the boxes to garner enough lobis to complete project". That is a solution for last hundred or so stickers, once they disappear from the store however, it's done, likewise people that weren't here to open a project because they missed two or three days, and it happens. Not all people play on holidays, some spend a month with a family instead.
Of course people that don't want to share will be all over "exclusivity" and try to rationalize their own need to be special, but in all honesty, the only exclusivity here should be we get it for free (for driving Cryptic metric system ie doing a race) and the rest should have a way to acquire it through costs.
And in before someone says I'm doing this subjectively, I have all the breen ships, as well as all anny ships etc. I don't need to feel exclusive and special flake in any way to enjoy the game, the ships aren't game changers in any way. There's simply no reason not to have them added.
If you started it you should be able to finish next year. Thats the way I read it. Shrug... I saved my lobi and bought a boatload of the cards to make sure I got my ship same as I have every year and event.
exactly an well writen, hope the will implement it.
I have discussed in other threads what I believe the true reason to be and although I think its a shame I can understand the reasons behind removing the past ships from the event.
to be honest I would do the same thing myself if I was in cryptics position, having said that I could see the problems from offering past ships coming from the start and would not have put myself in the position of having to remove the past ships by not making them available for players to slot.
cryptic could have saved themselves a whole load of grief from irate players if it wasn't for their generous nature of making the past ships available in the first place, players would have just excepted the practice of you get it now or you get it never if cryptic had adopted this format from day one.
sure they might have posed the question of the possibility of a missed ship being available but when the request was ignored they would have just excepted that it wasn't going to happen and moved on instead of keep dredging it up every time there is an event.
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.
