We're treating the account as the customer now and not the character, right? I know that's been tossed around by a few people like CaptainGeko... and I think it's really the way to go. A lot of us made new characters (Romulans, for instance) since the last winter event who don't have the Chel Grett, but now if we want to get that on these characters, we can't get the other new ship!
If the autographs were account bound, the characters who already have the Chel Grett could share their extra autographs this year with some of these new characters and allow them to get both.
On that note, it would also be nice if winter costumes were an account-based unlock. It's really difficult to get all the winter commodities needed to unlock five different colors of three different variations of the same winter coat if you have a lot of alts. Even if you have to make them cost a little more, I think it'd be better in the long run.
I only obtained the Chell Gret on one toon last year, so he'll be running for its sister ship and the new console.
I'm also going to go for the Chell Gret on another toon, instantly slot for the second afterwards and see how much lobi I've got a day or so before the event ends.
These sort of things are insanity inducing when you run them with all your toons (I'm looking at you Crystalline temptress and your lots of dilithium) but far more fun when you keep things sensible.

In the last CE event I actually did that on 12 characters.... 12!!!!
Hello folks,
I got a question which the thread didnt really answered so much...
Well I had some spare Lobis on my Account, (About 500) and I just got some Q Pictures of it. Now I got time to actually get the other ship with all the pictures I got and get from doing the daily quest. But I can now after getting last years ship, only slot the ship I already got... Not the new one...
So it is only possible to get 1 ship this year???

Hello There
I saw exactly the image u posted.
The whole story: I started the cruiser project and put the raider project in the second place. Then finished the first project but instead of the raider there was another que for the cruiser. so i stopped it and then could only start the raider project (which I wanted). But instead of raider it was again a cruiser. So i put in the pictures I had hoping this might be a bug since i could only choose the raider one.
But now I wonder about it... If i look in the second place I can now only choose another cruiser... Seems kinda odd...
And I dont want to cancel this and start the project again since this way I wont be able to get both ships this year by loosing so many Q Pictures and having put in so many Lobis...
If I did accidently slotted the wrong project, Id say okay ship happens, but since I tried twice to slot the raider project and it says cruiser instead besides I can only put the cruiser in que for the next project, I think there might be something wrong, what is kinda sad since I got about 300 Q pictures in it already and I was just about opening boxes for lobis for Q boxes and so on...
But thank you for looking at it Branflakes.
If you need the characters name: Its Captain Gecko
Well I slotted the cruiser first and second the Raider. I completed the cruiser project and got the reward, but instead of the raider starting, the cruiser started again. I closed this projects and could only start the Raider projects. I had no choice between another cruiser and a raider project. There was only the 1 raider project. I started it and filled in some Q pictures. Then saw that it was the cruiser again... and the second slot only shows the cruiser, not the possibility of slotting the raider like when the event started in december.
If I cancel this project now I loose all the pictures and cant make another project in time... Too bad I put in all my lobi keys and EC... :mad:
I guess there is not much to do right? Just cancel the project and save some Q pictures for next year... I should have asked before and now just assumed that it is the raider projects when i choose the raider project... :mad:
I wonder thou why it only lets me slot the cruiser project and slotted the cruiser project even thou i chose the raider (twice)...
Thanks for looking into it Branflakes:(
Seems I have it worse. I only have the option of the Cruiser and not the Raider.
Even if I complete the first Cruiser award (which sadly I started), the next upcoming one is also for the Cruiser award.
Maybe the glitch is because I started the mission on the second row of the event section?
By the way, I already own the Chel from the last Winter Event.
Well it seems like more ppl are having the same problem that if u start the raider project as the second project in the que it only gives u the cruiser (again)...
Maybe the Devs can give stop the project for us and give us the Pictures of Q we already put in back. Only solution I can come up with...
I've passed along your report; I also suggest filing a GM ticket so there is record of your issue. Unfortunately, that's the most purview I have over the issue.
EDIT: Your 2 images in post #40 are the same. Do you have the other image you can link me to?
Good evening,
Here is the second picture, must have uploaded the same twice. http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3491/3pgyf5fo_png.htm
Thise one shows that I can only chose the cruiser as a second project now.
The rest is already said I guess.
Thank you for looking into it or having someone else looking into it, so lets hope we get our pictures back so that we can finish the second ship in time
This is a stack issue only, finish the current Rep project and the other one will return, as long as one of the winter projects is selected it is the only one selectable.

Thank you. This looks correct -- if you slot the cruiser, the only available project to slot in the "next available" slot would be another cruiser. So it looks like you may have thought you slotted the Raider behind it, but it was actually another cruiser. The only thing I can suggest is to cancel the project (you'll loose what pictures you contributed, unfortunately) and then you'll see the Raider project, as well as the cruiser, to slot.
The only really annoying thing is, that I am really sure that I slotted the Raider project since first time I started the raider the cruiser appeared. I canceled it and clicked again on raider.... still cruiser... Kinda wierd aint it?

Wait..... so only solution so far is to cancel and redo, and lose all of those autographs????
Couldn't someone at PerfectWorld just credit us the autographs (and maybe let us keep wrong project too ) or delete the wrong project and put the raider ship in our inventory?
Actually, if you use a 20h cycle you can get your 1000 pics in a LOT less than the time allotted. You only need 25 races to get the 1000 pics needed. If you use a 20h cycle, that's ~6 races every 5 days. So it'd only take about 21 days to get it.
IIRC the event will last around 30 days.
According to my calculations doing the race every twenty hours twenty five times takes twenty days, twenty hours and forty one days sixteen hours to do it fifty times.
@Xonotos24:
Well I canceled it yesterday and all I can do now is to save the pictures for next year... Kinda stupid that we chose the right ship but got the wrong one...

For my purposes, the Chel Grett is worth getting on some captains, the cloakless Raider not so much.
I know some people "gotta get'em all" and there is some use to having the consoles etc.
I will likely look at getting the Chel for a couple captains, and having a couple other captains get the Plesh just for the console.
I'm also going to go for the Chell Gret on another toon, instantly slot for the second afterwards and see how much lobi I've got a day or so before the event ends.

Do you already have it slotted in one of the event reputation project slots? If not, you should see this: http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/www/bc/90/bc90f158cf47974aa75fae67461397dc1388688314.png
