Free Starship Modification

Can anyone tell me what the free starship modification is. I've started a second character and have managed to get one of these through a early mission and I have no idea what they are for.

    I think it just refers to modifying your ship in the Shipyard!!

    It's a left over artifact from when you had to spend ec to customize your ship or captains appearances.

    as i recall, you do still have to pay for ship customization; it's just captains they made free​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    I don't think I've paid EC to change my ship appearance for a long time.

    Ship Customization does not cost anything.

    At one time, it used to charge you for changing the appearance of your ship. That was removed, but they never removed the 'free starship modification' reward. Basically, it's just a left over reward that is now obsolete. It serves no function anymore.

    You can change the appearance of your ship as many times as you want for free.
    Insert witty signature line here.
