So, we have a great and wonderful Winter Event with Q's Winter Wonderland for Christmas. So, with this, how about we get a Halloween event where you would get a ship for Halloween? Keep in mind that it took me a couple of years to think this up.
So pretty much, you would get a hail from Admiral Quinn for the FED Faction Captains and from Chancellor Jem'pok for the KDF Captains. And they would be them summoning you to go meet with them in person to discuss the matters that are at hand. You would be told that there is an anomaly signal which seems to have some interference on all subspace transmissions and it's making it difficult for them to get messages out to the fleet operations in that area of the galaxy and it's very important to figure it out.
With this, you are sent to that part of space and there you would find the source of the subspace transmission disruption and you would come upon an asteroid field inside a nebula and it would be all dark and purple with some rocks and things inside. Along with some Ores to get some RnD materials from. You would pierce deeper in and you would come to a point where your sensors would be impacted and there would be slight static and so, you press deeper with the understanding that the source of this static and sensor disruptions is causing the subspace transmission problem.
Along the way in, you would get attacked by hit and run phantom ships. If playing a KDF captain or one that's allied with them, you would be attacked by phantom TOS Era Federation ships. Which would hit you, and you would engage them in battle and they would disappear. And same thing with you being on the FED side, but it would be Kirk Era TMP Klingon ships. The First officer would be saying; "Typical Klingon's with their cloaking." if you are playing a FED Captain. "Old Federation ships, with Cloaking Devices? Now this is interesting." your Klingon First Officer would be saying. And along the way in, you would be finding that there are a couple more hit and disappearing ships. Which would annoy your First officer, Engineering and Science chief.
Finally you come upon it, a Starship TOS Era Constitution Class if you are KDF or a B'Rel Class Bird of Prey if you are FED. The ship is floating there derelict with hardly any signs of power. So, you perform a scan and find that there are absolutely zero life signs in the ship. And so, you try to hail the leader who sent you in this place but it's no use, the ship which you scanned is causing too much interference. So, you try to scuttle the ship but alas, your weapons are of no use. If you have combat hangar pets, even their weapons are of zero use at all. ALL Weapons are just that, disabled and useless.
So, you decide to leave the asteroid field and get to a sector of space where you could get your message out to the leader who sent you in there. And you explain it to them of what you found and what you experienced going in. If you are KDF you find that Worf, who was listening in decides to join you on your ship. If you're FED Geordi La Forge or Miles O'Brien (You Pick) Decides to join in with you and your crew which for Worf, you would meet him at Genalda station. The FED Captains would pick their man up at K-7 and once you got them aboard your ship, you would be headed back to the Asteroid field in the nebula. This time, instead of just hitting and disappearing, you would have a full out fight on the ships which they would be destroyed. But the wreckage would disappear. And the way to the mystery ship would be clear, there would be just two fights of anywhere from 2 - 3 ships a fight.
After coming up to the ship, the special person onboard would perform some specialized scans of the ship and to see why the weapons are disabled. Worf would suspect some illicit Ferengi's and the Fed person would suspect the same. Given their experience with them getting the Stargazer back and it having that device on it which made Picard lose it. And they would tell you a little bit about it. And so, they decide to play it safe by sending a drone onboard to see about checking the ship for anything suspicious and you would wait about 2 - 3 minutes. And while you're waiting, there would be an attack wing of the spectral ships keeping you busy and they would be disappearing in time for your timer to run down to zero. And the readings would come back clear.
So, you and your chosen away team would beam in with your contact and you would go looking for this device which is causing the interference and such. And along the way, you would be getting attacked by spectral crew of the ship and they would be disappearing on you and such. And they would be frightening your crew and annoying the legendary contact that you would be having. Your character would sometimes have to do something to get your away team to calm down and focus on the mission at hand. This would only be from time to time. But you would soldier on and work on getting the objective.
After figuring out where the source was coming from, you would figure out a way to shut it down. However, due to it not being Ferengi in nature, and it lacks the hallmarks of the Ilachi, Borg, Tal'Shiar, Iconians, Narcuul, Tholians, E.T.C. you try to beam it into the hold of your ship to take it back to either K-7 or Genalda station. So, your contact advises to just tow the ship out of the Asteroid field and take the ship to the station. And so, you do exactly that. Which finishes this leg of the mission. And the final part is where you are going through doing what the stations lead engineer is telling you to do on the ship and such and as they don't want to invite further conflict with the FED if they are Klingon or the KDF if they're FED. They decide to dismantle the device, but the device doesn't want to be dismantled as all attempts to get it off the ship is futile. Even some Liberated Borg who you are sent to get come in and have a crack at it and its to no luck.
So, after much speaking with the faction who owns the ship, they order you to take it to their shipyards and you would be escorted in and there you would be given special instructions on what to do and such. And it would be decided that this device which stands about 8 feet high and such, doesn't want out, it is decided to just see if a Vulcan could mind meld with it. So, you're sent to get a Formidable Vulcan Tuvok who is in the Delta Quadrant on Voyager. And he agrees to come with you and to mind meld with the machine.
It is here where the machine through Tuvok sends you to another sector of space for something significant which it has been looking for, which is why it decided to take the ship in the first place. However with it not being able to fully interface with the ship correctly, it lost control of the ship and so, it found itself in the asteroid field. So, you are sent for that device. And you are met with Tal'Shiar who had an agent eavesdropping and they have three D'Deridex warbirds there with all weapons pointed at you. And so, you fight them off however you see fit. Upon defeating them you find the signal that you are looking for along with another Dex flying around it and once alerted to your presence, you fight that one off and once you defeated that Dex, you get to beam the device into your hold and go back to where the ship is being held.
Once the device is in the strange machines presence and the machine understands what you went through to get the device, it gladly teleports out of the ship and goes to where ever it's home is which is inside that place that not even those who live in Subspace know about inside a dimension that would be beyond even their wildest imaginations and such. And it ends with the Federation deciding to award the title and ownership of the Constitution class ship to you if you are a Klingon and likewise with the Klingon Empire awarding the title and ownership of the B'Rel Klingon Bird of Prey to you for all your hard work in getting things resolved. And both sides would agree that the ship would be seen by the other captains as being "Cursed" or with just "Horrible Omens" and such. But yet, the ship would be neither.
The Constitution class and the B'Rel would be a T6 ship with Five forward facing, Four aft facing and an experimental weapon slot. And they should be account wide reclaim for all the characters on the account who completed or skipped the tutorial.

The Devs already have an idea for a Halloween event they'd like to start. I believe "Catspaw" was mentioned several times. They just haven't been able to work on it due to time constraints and Corona.
As for reward... I doubt they're going to give away a T6 B'Rel and Connie.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!
The nut who actually ground out many packs. The resident forum voice of reason (I HAZ FORUM REP! YAY!)
normal text = me speaking as fellow formite colored text = mod mode

That's like asking them to give all their vital organs and their children's, children's, children's, children. Plus the dog and possibly the cat too. I suspect the next freebie ship is going to be a romulan bug ship or either a cloaking experiment gone wrong where you fly the result of trying to cloak an Ody, Bortasqu', and Scimitar but instead makes them materialize inside each other which instead of a thalaron generator it fires genesis torpedoes that turn your enemy ships into flowers that start defending your allies before they wilt and die and cause rips in subspace where friendly elachi bring some beer and start dancing.
