We are excited to announce that today's FREE C-Store items are the Rhode Island Class Refit and Phalanx Science Vessel! Read more for full details, including claiming instructions.
That leaves $40-$50 worth left unaccounted for. The cost of a ship 3 pack is $50.
My moneys on the Oddy/Bortasqu' 3-packs, as the ships in each pack generally address each class equally. The Vesta, having no real KDF 3 pack equivalent, is much less likely of a choice.
One FED, and one KDF T5 ship cost between $20-$25 each , that's your $40-$50
Example: Defiant, and B'rel retrofit add up to $40

no the vesta, Ody' and kum 3 ship set is worth $75 ($25x3=$75) if biy the 3 ship pack you get a discount of $25 but in the end its worth is $75

You're sort of splitting hairs on that one. The value of the three pack is $50. This isn't a discount, its the price of the pack. Regardless of the cost of each item individually, if you went out and bought them all, you would naturally buy the three pack, thus the $75 total.
Also, he says $75 +, meaning in excess of. Its by no means a hard number.
some of you guys say lvl 50 ship.
but in todays patch was the vulcan D'kyr.
so my guess for Friday is: the vulcan D'kyr and the varanus support vessel.
my self not hoping for it.
i hope self for the : tactical escort refit and guramba siege detroyer both are lvl 50
He makes it pretty clear that the $75+ value is to a single character, and that you get even more freebies if you are claiming on both factions.

No, he never made that "pretty clear" His ORIGINAL wording is:
Just to ensure it's clear, "throughout the week" doesn't mean "each day" and I sincerely apologize if I caused any confusion or set different expectations. To give more info, Monday-Wednesday are around the same value*, Thursday is higher and Friday is even higher. If my calculations are correct, it's over 7500 ZEN worth of free items if you have eligible** characters to claim them all -- some days (3, Wed-Fri) there will be a Fed and KDF ship that can be claimed for a total of 8 items.
*I just realized that Wednesday's items are actually just slightly less in value ZEN wise than Monday/ Tuesday's, but you may find more value in it depending on what you're hoping for (small craft vs. costume, *hint hint*)
**Example: To be eligible to claim a T3 KDF ship, you'd need a Klingon that is at least at level 20 with an available ship slot.

3850
so far, which leaves about 3650 to be handed out,
3650 is a way to odd number, but in the end i wold rather guess we get something at about 2K each max.
So it would seem that Friday will bring a tier 4 ship for Starfleet and a tier 5 ship for the KDF. One of the 3 Refits for Feds & Allied Rommies and something from a larger menu for Klingons & Allies. So i guess i won't be getting either Excelsior, =sigh=. Best i can hope for is the Exploration Cruiser (FED) and anything but the Carriers (KDF) as the rest fit my play style/tactics better. So any of them would be some shade of Awesome! Looks like i'll have a Long Night of grinding and blowing up t1 ships...

PS - I fully support a T6 Nova, fixing the Nova skins. I am also rooting for a T6 Science Cruiser, that can use Nova/Rhode Island skins. T6 Nova/Rhode Island, T6 Oberth & T6 Constellation are needed. Also needed a T6 Science Cruiser, that can wear any Science or Cruiser skin.
Sorry, I hate to be a party-pooper, but you won't be getting a discount. Discounts are based on retrofits (basically a 2000 price zen ships like armitage, excelsior), not refits.
Once again, thanks. Now even though the Nova Refit is a little obsolete for a Vice Admiral, the console looks like it would be very useful, hence she has value that way.
As for the Gorn ship..hmm..I may have to power level my Klingon toon for tomorrow's gift, since I hardly ever play him, so every little bit helps, lol.
Once again, thanks guys!
Criticism, while never agreeable, is necessary. It is like pain in the body. It brings attention to an unhealthy state of things---Winston Churchill
my money for tomorrow's freebie -assuming that the finale is tier 5's- would probably be on one variant of the oddy/bort. They were already released in a basic form for the 2nd anniversary, so it's little skin off PWE's nose if they are so again. the KDF candidates are likely to be; Marauder/Garumba/Varanus and the aforementioned Bortas. Fed is a little harder to guess, given the greater number of choices, but some of my 'favourites' for tomorrow; voyager retro/Galaxy retro/Regent/nebula retro or of course an oddy. the others i think are too popular/powerful for PWE to just hand out, but in the end we shall see tomorrow.
Thanks all for the new toys. I didn't expect the Rhode Island, but I can still thug it up. I'm thinking maybe putting the Tholian weapon set on it (dual cannons, tholian console tholian mines?) I dunno, either way, it's got some potential to be a real sleeper hit. The Phallanx... Dude, that console!
If today's patch was the D'kyr, it's probably going to be the D'kyr that's good logic. At least it's more likely to be that than the Nebula Retrofit (shame, it's a handsome ship). Just... Are we really going to pull down 4 science vessels? That's a lot of Science. I still could see the Kar'fi and the Heavy Escort Carrier, but it could also be some straight up cruisers. I dunno if they'd just give away straight up Escort, because those seem to be too popular. Either way, though, I needed new ships to tinker with, and so whatever T5 I get will probably see a lot of service and I think todays ships will definitely be fun to play with.
It kinda sucks that if you're not far enough along in levels, you can't claim the ship and use it later when you get that far. It'd really help the new players out, as well as those who have been tempted into trying KDF for the first time by this promotion.
Still, thank you for the freebies!
I agree. It still Sucks About level requirements.. Missed so many sales because ofa that

You should be able to reclaim the ship for free assuming it comes from the cstore
1: the Armitage is really well-liked and still bought.
2: The Intrepid Retro reduces the price of the Fleet Intrepid Retro, cutting Ship mod sales
3: The Bortasqu' costs 2500Z. That would mean Fed gets a 1500z ship, and they aren't gonna do that to the majority of their playerbase.
4: BoP retro or Varauns: See #2.

Thank you Cryptic! You are giving away lot of stuff this week!
I am getting worried. Last time i got so much free items in a MMO was in City of Heroes just before it got shut down
Please, i hope everything is right with STO lol
:P

Gotta love the odds on that... The only fed ship I've actually purchased.
I actually took a Federation Captain all the way up to VA in the Tier 2 Nova, not the Rhode Island, did not have it at the time.

Same boat and my new KDF is a Gorn. I knew the nFed ship would be Rhode island due to pelrice but is kdf level 20 required. This sucks!!!!!
Sorry, but that makes no sense at all.
I agree. It still Sucks About level requirements.. Missed so many sales because ofa that
You should be able to reclaim the ship for free assuming it comes from the cstore
Fed: Armitage, Intrepid Retro
KDF: Bortasq (Tactical Varient preferable), BoP Retro or Varanus.
But hey any KDF offering is good for me.
2: The Intrepid Retro reduces the price of the Fleet Intrepid Retro, cutting Ship mod sales
3: The Bortasqu' costs 2500Z. That would mean Fed gets a 1500z ship, and they aren't gonna do that to the majority of their playerbase.
4: BoP retro or Varauns: See #2.
