I was wondering if anyone knew what this Christmas' Grand Prize Ship is going to be? Well, if it's going to be a Ship at all, of course.
It does still make me laugh that with the Summer and Winter Events, which have Ships as prizes, that all the missions to earn them are Ground...I'd love a space mission.

We've had three already. Escort, big damn dreadnought, carrier. (Although I confess I cheated somewhat, I got the big damn dreadnought from the Mudd Market when it was on sale a while back... I had missed that year's event.)

Or, his energy ball, with chain link fence console.
Candy cane nacelles, a cookie saucer...ooh, even just a candy vanity shield would be more fun than a ship I'll never fly.
What weapon is that?
Candy Cane vanity shield sounds cool
Maybe even a gingerbread vanity shield too, with icing for highlights.
And knowing is half the battle!

You're not going to get event ships at normal c-store prices, and definitely not for less than normal ships.
Cryptic wants people to log in and play the events. If people know they can get the event ships cheap instead of it costing an arm and two legs, they are less likely to feel Fear Of Missing Out and become more likely to skip events.
Or, rebranded as the Krispy Kreme Class.
That sounds like something they'd do, so I'd place my bet on that too. Their sales depend on pushing for that style to be or at least appear to be more popular in game.
I support this (even if I dislike it) - variety so everyone can enjoy their unique styles & approaches. The red baron painted his plane red to taunt and intimidate by reason of becoming a highly visible target. The cat is out of the bag after all in this game with alien ships, cross-faction flying, that it feels like nothing matters anymore, so why not.

There are actually some interesting designs in there - some of which don't even look close to anything we currently have in-game.

The fifth one in that picture for example, with the elevated part covering the full length of the saucer looks nice.
Similarly, there are still unused designs from other contests like the Risa one.

Design number three looks like it took some inspiration from the Steamrunner and/or Akira ships, so that one may not be that interesting. The fourth one is very different though and would be a good event ship.
