    there are TWO... 1, 2 ... If you don't count the space suits.

    There is the Acadamy and the Mercenary. Since they probably make money off the Merc and EVERYONE could have actually used it, its doubtful.

    Logic dictates that any KDF reward must be the Acadamy.

    Oh, that's right; I completely forgot about the Academy uniform.

    Hopefully that's coming. :)

    Captains, again, if you are not seeing the item in the C-Store, you already own it (e.g. past C-Store purchase, bought off exchange, bought for Lobi, have it in the Collector's Edition, etc.). You can verify this by visiting the tailor and putting on the uniform.

    Cheers,

    How about cryptic provide a fix to make it clear we already own it? No all I see in my tailor which has a few messed up blank spots at the bottom (BUG) is Deep Space Nine Bundle, is this the same uniform that is in the bundle?

    Thanks for the freebies, Cryptic.

    And man, there are some really ungrateful players around. ^^

    If the uniform does not show in C-store appearance tab, you DO own it.

    Okay, I'm not trying to be rude but do not try to apply the DS9 bundle in the tailor as this is for an admirals jacket, NOT the DS9 uniform being given away. Go to the uniform tab at the bottom of the appearance page in any tailor and look under "Upper". The DS9 jacket should have a green check by it.
    If, and only IF, it does not appear where I'm telling you, file a ticket as it would be a genuine bug, otherwise it is a PEBCAK issue.

    Wait a second, I thought the free item was the Nukara Tribble. I logged in today and it was marked as claim, 4 of my characters on Holodeck have claimed one. I also though TRIBBLE was a Tribble reward and I don't have a Tribble account.

    Unless this was always there and I never saw it before.

    Nukara tribbles were given to everyone after LOR was released

    No it isn't. The giveaway is the standard uniform, the Admiral's uniform is part of the bundle. In other words, this promotion has absolutely nothing to do with the DS9 Bundle !

    I can't believe the display of self-entitlement in this thread. It's disgusting. Cryptic should never give away stuff for free again after this. Free stuff, no one loses anything, and still people complain. It's ridiculous.

    that was a test weekend reward that they decided to give everyone. this week is different from that but same premise as to give it to everyone

    what there to thank for?

    I got nothing. there nothing to thank for. Basically like normal it PWE and Cryptic flippinh the bird long time supports who spent money on the product.

    TRIBBLE, how?

    If I buy something at a store for $5, and the next day the price drops to $3, I don't go back to the store and demand that I be given $2 as compensation. I don't see how this is different.

    I feared it was the open-jacked uniforms I had unlocked a week ago. Glad it's something I didn't have.

    Tomorrow I might not be so lucky.

    I was unlucky today. But hey ho can't complain. This give away is a rarity for any MMO to do. By doing this (although there are some that would disagree) it shows that PWE and Cryptic do value their players.

    As I said: Tried this and the tailer wants 550 Points from me...I definitly don't own this uniform.

    I can see both DS9 Uniform types: DS9 and DS9 Admiral (which is 2250 points <- does someone realy pay this much for something noone ever notice ingame?).

    And when I use the DS9 jacket for example the purchase says it costs 550 points...

    Edit:

    Just 2 DS9 Uniform options at the tailor:
    Upper Body
    Category: Uniform - Jacket Loose
    Upper:
    Option 1: Deep Space Nine - open (costs 550)
    Option 2: Deep Space Nine Admiral (Costs 2250)

    Is this right that there are only 2 DS9 Outfits available? Normal "open" means an own category.

    The open jacket is from the "Open Jackets" bundle and the Admiral jacket is from the "DS9 Bundle" which costs so much because it includes the Chafee shuttle, vedek robes and bajoran phasers.
    The one you should see just says Deep Space Nine with a green check mark next to it and should be above the one saying "open" (it is in mine).

    UPDATE:

    Got it. The UI was referring to the bundle, which I don't have.

    The uniform was already available when I went to put it on. Thanks, all.

    who is worse?

    The person complaining about the free item?

    Or the person complaining about the complainer?

    The 2nd is MUCH worse.

    It is some people's mission in life to harass other people over their opinions. Get over it.

    ( now of course we could add a 3rd option.. complaining about people complaining over another person's complaint.. but lets not lol )

    Wow people will take ANY opportunity to show how negative and selfish they are to others. Cryptic, thank you for the free uniform and the future free content this week. Please do not let the haters bring down the positive vibe that this promotion is meant to be to all players.

    Agreed. Those complaining about complainers and "QQ-ing" are much more annoying than the original complainers. So by extension my complaining about the those complaining about complainers must be extremely offensive, lol.

    People could have obtained it through the Collector's Editiion, C-Store, Lobi Store, lockbox drop, and the Exchange. If it is not working, then check the Fed Tailor to see if it is already there. You can always check another Fed alt to see if it was only purchased for a specific Fed alt.

    Ahhh, the "Collector's Edition" I did purchase! Got that for the Red Matter Capacitor so never noticed the uniform offering in the written material for the edition, and there was nothing in the Z-Store to indicate the purchase of the uniform in relation to it. Also, I did not realize the only element of the DS9 uniform being offered today is the "Upper" in the advanced tab. Scrolled through the 54 other elements in that list and did find "Deep Space Nine" listed. :)

    So players who are KDF-only got screwed today. A Fed only outfit? Pretty lame Cryptic...pretty lame.

    Cryptic needs to rethink this (Fed Only) Giveaway event. KDF only players will not like this if every day has a reward for Fed Only.

    They give something away free and you complain...

    How about thanking them for even giving something away free?
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    According to what was said, KDF will likely have a KDF only item tomorrow. Or at least during the event.

    Maybe you should complain once the event is over, so you can see if it was fair or not.

    If there's a ship giveaway KDF and FED's get it.

    You guys seem upset because the devs aren't as social as they were before. You are the reasons why.

    This is clearly a good example why "strike while the iron is hit" should NOT be the universal approach to every issue. Wait and see what comes next.

    Infinitely recursive complaining for the win!

    One of my favorite signatures from another game's forum, which I have mentioned before, is still relevant here:

    If the game spit out free $20 bills some people would complain that the bills weren't sequentially numbered. If the Devs patched them to be sequentially numbered those same people would complain that it wasn't sufficiently randomized.
