    Wow, not only ships, but all 3 are good higher ships too. Pretty good conclusion for the giveaway event. Thanks again. Hopefully everyone was able to receive something they enjoyed.

    I'm having trouble getting the ships with my other captains that aren't' starfleet. So I have to be high enough rank to claim them, or can you only claim one of the 3?

    Wait... WEEKEND of free ships? Did Kael just give a hint as to what is to come Saturday and Sunday?
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    I was actually being hopefull that we might get a T6 this time around. I remember when we got T5s last year. The ship slots and Drydocks where very usefull and thank you for them, but another T5 ship will be the same as giving me a Ship card...that isn't Epic :/

    By weekend of free ships, they mean you have a weekend to claim these ships rather than just 24 hours.
    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
  • swamarianswamarian Member Posts: 1,506 Arc User
    You have to be able to use a ship to claim it, so your Rom or Klink needs to be at least level 40.
    Nice giveaway. I already have all of the T'Varos (including fleet versions), but didn't have the others. Thanks.

    Unfortunately I already bought the T5 Avenger late last year for its console, I wish I held off from doing so now. But my Rom and KDF toons get a new ship at least even though I already prefer my only Rom ships which are the T6 Scimitar's, as for my KDF toon the ship lack any special consoles or weapons which is odd for a 2500 zen ship so I will probably just keep using my event ships and 31st cent ships on this toon.

    Question: The description says T5 T'Varo but isn't the picture of a T6 Malem? The Malem has the little nose thing which is depicted in the picture.
    I don't think that's a T5 B'Rel in the picture either but some other BoP, not sure on that one.

    Thank you for this giveaway! Always had my eye on the Avenger but never pulled the trigger.

    Well you're in luck because they're giving away the T5 Avenger, not the Arbiter.

    I too, noticed the discrepancy between the text and the image.
    Text gives notification of the three different T5 ships that are being given away but the image shows the T6 versions.

    Thanks Cryptic - already had T'Varo (needed for console set for Malem, so i got Romulan Legacy Starter Pack), but the other 2 are very nice inded - especially the Avenger - i really wanted it.
    Edit:
    And Swamarian - the store description for those ships states that you need to be level 50 at least to get them, not 40...
    (Vice Admiral and Lieutenant General).

    officerbatman81, I think you are correct of the stock photo. Those are the T6 versions: Arbiter, Kor, & Malem. The giveaway is for the T5 versions: Avenger, B'rel Retrofit, & T'varo.
  • phinabella1phinabella1 Member Posts: 16 Arc User
    Rumor has it we can also get a T5 Ambassador Retrofit too, but me and a few fleet mates can't find it. A person showed us a screen cap of it as proof as we can get it, but we still can't find it. Has anyone else saw it (or not). It should be in the T5 section of the C-Store. (Copy & Paste from Reddit)

    Noice, didn't have any of these yet. However, I wonder why the arbitrary level and faction restriction to simply inlock the items still persists. As long as oyu have one character on the account you should be able to simply unlock the option for later, so people without a rom or KDF character don't miss out. But whateffs, nice ships. The Romulan one has the doomtorp console, right?​​

    Sweet, more free ships. Thanks Cryptic!

    Two out of Three not yet in my inventory. Nice.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    As usual I already own this stuff, but that's my own fault. I simply bought (almost) everything in the past. I think I'm missing like two uniforms and the Dyson ships. But it's nice how generous these giveaways are and I hope everybody enjoys their new stuff. :)

    I was afraid that the T'varo was going to be given away, spent my Tier V token on that guy should have gone for that Mogai. Anyway, such a tease with the image showing the T6 versions. Sweet giveaway though!
  • jcswwjcsww Member Posts: 6,819 Arc User
    WOW! I am very impressed with today's gracious giveaway! For a change, I didn't have any of those ships. Thank you, PWE! [=

    That's strange. Tier 5 is level 40. I guess that ships that're upgradable to 5u are 50. Looking at the store, the Ambassador refit is 40, but the others are 50.

    I recall one of the earlier give away events also provided the upgrade item. Does anyone know if that is also included in this one?
