That was my thinking too
Just don't make it a ship. All year long ppl have been talking about what ship we'll get for the
50th anniversary. Everyone is just so damn spoiled, if you need to give us a ship make it a
picture of a ship we can display on the crew deck.
Speaking of crew decks, how about a turbo lift for my 31st century ship so i can reach my
crew deck? I'm still waiting to display that trophy Obisek sent me.
A shuttle craft that says "Shuttle craft to Enterprise, Spock here, happy holidays, live long and prosper".
Love that ornament, still works after all those years, hangs right next to the cloaked warbird on my tree
every year.
I'm frankly getting a bit bored of admiralty cards for rewards. They are so easy to relate it's just a picture of a ship and dream up random stats, not exactly much effort. They are OK occasionally but now everything's rewarding them.
This is a one off aniversary of the whole dammed caboodle and they'd be wise not to naff this one up. Offer some decent prizes, get players involved, get us inspired and proud to follow trek by playing the game, but offer some thanks and celebration for being part of it at a key time. A nice looking ship, a funky costume, something to show off and display "I was there".
50th anniversary lock box as a reward for grinding Mine Trap for 14 days! Only available EVER during the event. Rewards: T6 Nebula (Sci), T6 Miranda (Tac), T6 Sovereign (Eng), T6 D9 Dreadnought, T6 something rommy. Anniversary lockbox limited to 1 per character. After event is over they turn into......idk, a character bound T5-U upgrade token. Just dreamin
One thing that would probably make me the happiest for the 50th Anniversary celebration is a massive fix of most, if not all, of the major bugs currently plaguing the game at the moment.

Would be awesome..and sensible....but we know sensible is rather rare......
Why doesn't Cryptic just do more limited time purchase items in the C-Store? Like the Voyager interior that pops up every once in a while? How about the Nagus Marauder (just using as an example) available for a limited time? Or if they are too cheap to create something, an event grind that gives you a T5 or T6 ship purchase token, character locked of course.

Sounds sensible to me....but sensible, it seems, is asking too much.
They've done the R&D promo thing before....so its more annoying to me than surprising. So I guess in that light, we prob shouldn't expect more than "The Wisest Tribble" as a reward for the 50th event. Or maybe a "23c Tribble". Historically I honestly expect them to just smash the 50th anniversary with the end of summer giveaway they always do. Thursday only login to get.........23c Tribble. Friday gets you.....23c Tellarite costume free. Saturday gets you........Special Ship Trait temporally themed of course. Sunday big event finish gets you.......23c Enterprise Bridge.
Something more along these lines. Plus prob a rerun of Mine Trap with an admiralty card as reward, or a 23c temporal horta.
At this stage we won't have a Mine Trap (revamp) Event because they loused it up by running the Mirror Invasion that runs right across the 8th.

Really? All the fun was sucked out of the game for you because you might not be able to get a ship you just plain couldn't have at all before?
Mostly becuase its a blatant cash grab, that leaves the some what worrying thought about what else they could only give away in a random chance way. I mean what if they decide to raise the level cap, make T7 ships and then only release them in lock boxes.

True it was a cash grab.
It didn't suck the fun out of the game, as I'm still playing it. But it did suck the fun out of the 50th anniversary. Now I just want it to hurry and end.

Ooo... The Wisest Tribble from the Temporal Ambassador mission?
They wouldn't dare.
It would tell you to stop throwing money at them for digital fluff, and bragging rights.
But I would totally play another repetitive grind for a wise tribble, just for TRIBBLE and giggles.
I just hope whatever it is isn't a cash grab or a grind, is not limited to ONE Faction, and isn't something that would require spending zen or real life money to use. If they don't hit any of those points I'll be happy enough.
For the 50th, have the return of V'ger, where it or just a probe comes back to our universe for some reason. Maybe "homesick", maybe reporting some of its findings?
That or have an episode showing that the appearance's of Andorians, Gorn, Romulans, and Tellarites in TOS were a side affect of the temporal cold war and the Player corrects it somehow.

Well, perhaps you'll enjoy the "Happy 50th" blog post to go with your gruel.

This R&D Promotion sure surprised me......and not in the good way.

They could also add the First Federation, Excalbians, Melkot.

Sorry, I ran out of lube after they released the T-6 ships.
