Well this was unexpected.

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
So... a few weeks ago, I decided to get the Ranger. With no way to get the T6 Constitution, I thought it would be adequate. It was never quite satisfying, but it performed well and had the right general aesthetic.

With the T6 Constitution becoming available, and having 900 points left over, I thought I'd just give it a go and see what happened.

I got my ship. I opened TWO boxes, and there it was, a T6 ship (the Constitution, naturally...).

I'm still a bit in shock. I really didn't expect to get anything of interest, I never, EVER win anything. For once, the rng gods were WITH me!

Whoo. I need to sit down a minute.

    Congratulations. I got mine the first time it was offered on my third box. It's a fantastic little ship especially when mounting retro-phaser beam banks ;)

    Well! It is about time you won something! Been here longer than I have. Far far longer, lol. The T6 TOS ships are loads of fun to play.
    I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

    BTW, whether you like or not, owning such a ship makes you...ahem, officially " 'Leet" rofl

    Thats how I felt when I opened packs the first time on the first day it was avalible. I used Dilithium from other toons and after about 13 boxes [System] [GameplayAnnounce] B-Money@DecadeComplete was issued an 23rd Century Promo Ship Pack!. Keep in mind this was literally A MONTH after I had just made Kelvin Connie into a flagship. So now I have both versions. I used the Constitution Refit skin because its my favorite unless they somehow get Phase 2 in there. Both Endgame Constitution Cruisers are mine. I only hope that they do a third with the Enterprise A from Beyond hopefully with Astika Bridge Officer slots.

    As someone who has been fighting for the ship for years and writing a ton of blogs to help get it in the game the fact that I got it on the first day was a huge surprise and a huge pleasure.

    I would love a D7 but not even gonna try and chase it.

    Regardless Congrats to anyone who gets their super rare ship.

    I paid 495 mil EC for my She'shar when it came out and the exchange limit was 500. So I have my Grail Ship. Anything above that is just too rich for my blood.

    But as I said, Congrats to everyone who gets theirs.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    Grats! I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll get that kind of luck with the D7.

    This is a good story of hope OP. Inspirational.
    I plan on getting a 4 pack, and only one. Based on this there is a chance it wont be a waste.

    Papa needs a new pair of shoes, er um D7.

    Nice! I would sell my future unborn child for a Connie. Then I would explain it to them when they grew up.

    Congratulations! I still have my old T1 Connie and I'm still happy with it but I'd love to have a T6 Connie. I didn't get one from the last promo event but I'll give it another try with this one. Who knows, maybe I'll luck out and get it this time.

    Still waiting on my big score. Granted I don't roll the dice often so naturally my win rate is pretty low (I literally have not won a grand prize ship since the first run of the JHAS...) but I would dig a D7 or a Connie. I'd roll a new TOS toon just for it...

    At any rate, congratz on the big score!
