As many have described, it's really a hit or miss approach sometimes, but if you missed-out this time you might be fortunate the next time, at least hopefully.
Here's hoping I get a second prize in the cruise giveaway anyways - seems to be the only other way to get that tub for now.
Just checked my email and I was a 'runner up' in the Gamespot cruise giveaway.
One of the lucky 3000 that got:
23rd Century Constitution-Class Cruiser [T1]
Large Experience Booster
Free gear requisitions from Level 10 through 50
Got all excited thinking it was the T6 version, till I read it better.
Sadly, I already own the T1 version and the other things are essentially what you got for AoY characters, a free boost and a box of gear every 10 levels. And only claimable on one toon. I guess the next toon I make will have a boost and some free decent gear. But hey, it's free junk so I'll take it!

I got that, also. I immediately started using it for my new Romulan. I have to say, the gear package is actually much, much better than what we got with AOY. You get enough ground gear for your entire away team, enough consoles to fill all your slots and then some and enough ship weapons that you can pick and choose. Also, it seems to be based on your race. I was pleased as punch when my Romulan had his choice of plasma ship weapons.

Good to hear about that Gear Package for levels 1-50. That does seem superior to that AoY Temporal reward gear package system. Congratulations to all the winners, especially the next tier up & of course the grand prize winner! Very nice contest.

That sounds pretty cool, nice that they even outfit your away team.
I'm saving mine until the next recruiting promo, going to try claiming the pack and see if I can stack that with the recruitment bonuses to get a nice push. The one thing that always kind of annoyed me about the recruiting events was that they didn't give you any ground gear for your away team.

Yeah, that was my thought. I have 8 toons now, I really really don't NEED to make another. But I will when the next Delta/AoY event and I'm 'forced' to make another toon.
Glad to hear the gear boxes are better than what AoY gave. Those were OK, but nothing to make you fall out of your chair when you opened them.
