Well, now I have to cycle through all my Characters today to get the Inventory Slots. I claimed the Spec Points on one Character Yesterday, assuming like they always do that, that will unlock that Promotion on the Promotions Tab for the remaining Characters. Wrong. It is nowhere to be found on any other Character.
Please make it clear on the Blogs that the freebies must be grabbed on ALL Characters on the Account you want it on, on the day it is available otherwise it is lost. There is no unlock.
Please no posts about entitlement, gratitude, etc. I am not and I am (respectively) but if the normal operational rules change, please let us know.
Yeah, I got burned by this too. If I'd known, I would have logged in with all my alts. It's especially annoying (to me) because the last giveaway, only a few days ago, and that did allow it. I appreciate the giveaway, but a little more info would have helped.
My alt army: K'ymara, Orion Engineer. Caedera of Borg, Liberated Borg Tactical, Elyza Vix, Joined Trill Scientist. Christina Bellona, Augmented Human Tactical. T'Lana, Vulcan Scientist. Arbol, Martian Tactical. Ayzer Bryn, Joined Trill Engineer. Hawke, Betazoid Scientist. Karna Valkras, Klingon Engineer. Beth Parker, Human Tactical Sarel, Romulan Engineer (Federation). Yazuri, Reman Scientist (KDF)
Koro't'inga and Valdore is good...
Hopefully, having gotten the Dhael and Valdore through giveaways won't keep me from purchasing the Legacy Pack for the rest of the Romulan ships...

So if I only claim one of each (on the correct toons) are these account unlocks like most store ships? Hoping so as I have a toon or more that currently cannot claim them. Got some lowbies I am working up.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Got them all already.
But thank You very much anyway, Cryptic.

That's a relief; I'd rather spend 160 USD than two or three hundred for the ships, Reman and TOS costumes...
Though I'm somewhat glad for the Koro - it's been on my list to buy, but I just haven't had much enthusiasm considering that there's little customization (Changing between K'tinga, D-7 and K'tinga Refit and now Koro just changes the whole ship; can't mix parts) and I've actually been more apt to use the Orion Flight-Deck I already own for when my Klingons needed a T3 ship...

Are we sure that the ships today are the final giveaway? usually they would note that it is the final giveaway.
Not sure - hey said 11th through 14th; 10 Pacific to 10 Pacific. It could be the last, there could be one more depending on whether they mean that it ends on the 14th or if the 14th is the last giveaway...
11-12; Specialization Points
12-13: Inventory Slots
13-14: T3 Ships...
If they follow previous patterns, then 14-15, if it's involved, might be a T4 or T5...
2013 Summer had the Nebula Retrofit and Marauder FDC; 2014 Summer had the Ambassador Retrofit and Varanus; 2015 New Dawn had the Excelsior Retrofit, Marauder and Ar'Kif Carrier Warbird; and the 2016 Anniversary had the Ar'kala, Puyjaq and Sao Paulo... so there's a chance it might be a T4 or T5 if there's a giveaway on the 14th itself...

Jolan'tru & cheers... RRF Captain Cybyl
Thunderchild, Koro't'inga and Valdore class (T3)
Thanks.
It's already up? I'm still patching and the news blog has nothing for me.
Not yet. But it will be... in 4 minutes.
My character Tsin'xing
(my own fault - should not buy the other 2 ships already ....
Been wanting the Valdore for my Rommie alt for some time.
Cheers.
:evil laugh: mwuahahahahaha!

Aye, me too... and such good (interesting, at least? *shrugs*) consoles, too!
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

Both the Thunderchild and the Valdore were no my shopping list!
Many thanks!

Yeah I am pretty jazzed about the Tchild too. Now to get the Steamrunner. Of course I would have to install Steam first. hehehehe

In my experience the end date is the end of the claim window for the last item.
So I'm not expecting anything new for tomorrow
Yep, I think we're done (still, I'd be pleasantly surprised if we aren't :DD)

(Already had the Valdore but the rest are excellent too, Thunderchild especially.)
