I've been playing STO for years and don't remember a better anniversary event. 5 Event keys, an ultimate tech upgrade and 12 inventory slots are AWESOME gifts. I love these and hope the rest are as good or better! Great job Cryptic!

Didn't it start last year, or the year before, when Cryptic didn't offer any free claimable starship(s) where most, if not all, other previous anniversaries Cryptic had done so usually as a finale gift, maybe it ceased when that Andre took over?
I'm not meaning to overlook any gracious free gifts offered now, or previously, since Cryptic doesn't have to do so, but claiming "best anniversary event ever!" when omitting free starships & citing these other gifts is a bit ... well ... I'm glad you like the smaller things.
Yeah, I’m sure they stopped giving away ships because of the amount of complaints that a giveaway was Fed-sided. They’d give away a FED T3 ship, but not a KDF one, and that ticked people off...
I still see folks complaining about the giveaways, which will never make sense to me... Gratitude goes a long way...

I do remember the ship giveaways being Federation-heavy but KDF & Rom were included occasionally but that never bothered me personally since I've always had characters for all factions on my roster.
Just like when they gave away a free uniform. If I already had it then I'm not missing out on anything, I'm not gaining, but still not missing out.
Of course their introduction of those ship tokens/coupons would've remedied back then. I sort of wish they'd do something similar for the now non-zen-store T1-T4 ships.
Most of it is stuff that doesn't really change your character that much but still it's free so there's no reason to complain. The Keys possibly being the most impactful if you get something good (I didn't but so what those keys were free so I don't mind).
Free stuff is free stuff and I appreciate the thought. Thank you Cryptic.

Ship was missing last year as was a cosmetic costume. The ship wasn't a huge surprise as they'd all but run out of kdf ships without doing repeats
Last year I seem to recall was more a greatest lows of the gamblebox offerings, seem to remember there being lobi, R&D gamblebox and phoenix lumped into it.

I think you're correct, it was more of a gambling promotional last year. I much preferred this year's compared to that.
I'm still dreaming of an account bank giveaway. Been waiting 10 years! Maybe someday I'll break down and buy it. Maybe.

After purchasing that credit capacity increase I'd suggest buying at least (1) shared bank account slots. It really improves quality of life for an account if you have more than (1) character.
They must have done account bank freebies otherwise my f2p account would only have that single slot. Unless the ones that are there came from a different promo thing.

I have to say, I am impressed with the freebies and appreciate them.
It won't. There are no jem'hadar ships in the T5 box unfortunately. What ones are available through the infinity packs are T6 only
