    So, I've got until Monday at 10am to grind ten levels on this KDF Ferasan I started last week, so he can get his T4 ship. Or I can not sweat it, and enjoy my Sunday. What to do, what to do...

    Well, there are ways of accelerating the grind substantially, like doffing (Mirror/Temporal research assignments apparently pay out quite a bit) or flying with friends.

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    "Every day we’ll be giving away new C-Store items for Captains to enjoy. Every 24 hours, we’ll be giving out a different item (or even multiple), so be sure to grab these up!"

    We have conflicting reports unless "new", "every 24 hours", and "different" mean something else in the STO universe.

Every 24 hours, we’ll be giving out a different item (or even multiple), so be sure to grab these up!

    Today's giveaway is ships! Shippy ship ship ships!!

    Hey Trendy, the...
    ...from the current Anniversary Giveaway News and the bits in yellow there are a bit contradictory. While I'm assuming the T4's are the last Giveaway goodies, maybe rephrasing the OP and the final update to the News article would avoid some confusion? After all...
    ...wasn't actually here until kelettes was kind enough to pull it over from Facebook. BTW, thanks for doing so kelettes.


    Oh, and thanks for ALL of the Giveaway items. They are much appreciated, both for myself and for some of my newer Fleetmates just getting into (or back into) STO. :smile:

    The only thing about this that actually bugs me is a was grinding like crazy to get my KDF to tier 4 before the giveaway changed - I could have slept like a normal person last night damn it :P

    Have They ever given away more then 5 days of goodies?
    My recollection may be a bit hazy but I don't think so.

    Would have been nice tough, to have received a SIXTH item on the SIXTH Day, since this is the SIXTH Anniversary.

    Seems to be a lot of confusion over this. The blog stated one thing and some of the text seems to contradict itself.
    I think initially people thought a new item every 24hrs until Monday, but now it looks like the last item is in fact a 48hr period instead?

    Any Dev care to step in to straighten things out?

    They don't do Sunday's unless it's an emergency.

    Perhaps there was a new item today.. and Trendy asked other staff to take care of bussines?.. "Don't forget to push the button for the final giveaway!".. "no problem, i wont forget".. "ok, i'm leaving for bacon.."... "I dont have to forget to push... oohhh! shinny!!....", and thats why we dont get a new gift today!...

    Nope, but they did say they'd give a new item after EVERY 24 HOURS until Monday, February 1st 2016. The free ships we got yesterday are out for 48 hours. And Trendy thinks people on the forums spread "misinformation".

    By the way, Investigate Officer Reports mission still hasn't been addressed. Hell, when I posted that issue in the bug reports, people were telling me they had trouble finding it. How odd...

    You said "Every day from Tuesday 1/26 at 10am PST till Monday 2/1 at 10am PST we’ll be giving away new C-Store items for Captains to enjoy. Every 24 hours, we’ll be giving out a different item (or even multiple), so be sure to grab these up!"

    We had:
    Tuesday... Day-1) Two Specialization Points per Toon.
    Wednesday... Day-2) 20k of Fleet Dilithium per Account.
    Thursday... Day-3) Two Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrades per Account.
    Friday... Day-4) Open Jacket Uniform per Account. (even though I already have it
    Saturday... Day-5) Three Faction Specific, T4 Starships per Account.

    What about a SIXTH item on the SIXTH Day, since this is the SIXTH Anniversary?
    You have been a bit contradictory, because you said in every 24 hours from january 26th to monday february 1st we should get new item. We only got for 5 days, where is for day 6 (from january 31st until february 1st)?

    The devs usually take Sundays off, so I'd say this is it. Unless, of course, they want to throw in a little something for tomorrow, but it doesn't look likely. Not that they even read the forums anyway.

    I figured it was the last of the giveaways, judging from the nature of the final item(s).

    The 5 day 1 item every 24 hrs must of been a misprint. Am I mad no, I can't really get mad about a free item being given away but they should of worded it differently when they post the event (its misleading)

    Agreed.
    I'm not pissed off I just feel they really need to make dammed sure their announcements and blogs accurately portray what they plan to do. They've got a bad history of not checking their blogs are accurate or are misleading.

    they don't do anything that deals with marketing period and this is a marketing thing not a dev thing.
