Not in the promotions tab, it's in uniforms @ 100% discount.. Thanks Cryptic, but how about consistency on how you present this stuff?

    As I recall, ships and uniforms are in the ship and uniform tabs when at 100% discount. Things in promotions are usually for slots/services/vanity shields and the like

    Thats how its been for a long time

    Just because it is how they have been doing it, doesn't make it any less inconsistant. All promotions, like these give-aways, should be located in the promotions tab. The less complicated the promotions system, the less likely it will be that people will get confused.

    Because they make a special single claim promotional version for these giveaways. They're not going to discount the normal inventory slot item because that's a service that can be repeatably purchased. And they put these single claim promo items in the promotions tab.

    That's because with these giveaways, the items are only there for 24 hours, beginning at 10am Pacific time, to be replaced by the next item at 10am Pacific time the next day.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.

    On behalf of all newish players that are not aware of how things "usually are", I thank you.
    I had to specify to a new member of my fleet that started playing very recently when he came looking for information because "the news says they're in the promotions tab, but the uniform is not there".

    But of course Cryptic, same as some in this thread that are absolutely incapable of looking at things from a pov that's not their own, expect everyone to know how things are usually done. Show how much they really care.

    Not agreeing with someone doesn't give you the right to be an TRIBBLE.

    Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
    - quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;

    Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
    Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.

    wellp, it finally happened. I got something from the promo tab, a 6x token, but still didn't get the 2 previous, and didn't look for the 1st so it doesn't count
