if possible can you let the romulans get their faction ships as a free item instead of just starfleet and kdf like last summer. thnx:
The only reason why Romulans were not included last Summer was because at the time the faction was new to STO, I'm sure they will be included this time though.
My luck they are things that I already have bought. I prefer they giveaway something new like a new bridge layout (not one sold in the C-Store already), costume (again, not one sold in C-Store already), new Bridge Officer (not one sold in the C-Store already), free Starship slot, free Bank slot, free Zen, free Lobi Crystals, free Lockbox Keys, or some of the retail and pre-order exclusives such as the
It's been 4 years, so I don't see why those pre-order and exclusive items shouldn't be given away or sold in the C-Store by now. Considering, there is no way to get them otherwise, unless they became Character unBound and someone who has them is willing to sell them in the Exchange.
I just hope Season 8.5 has something new and interesting. As much as I love playing Star Trek Online, I seem to do more grinding to get dilithium, credits, and marks than anything. I kinda miss the old days of just playing new missions and discovering something new about the game.
Sadly, they have said few times that none of those will be added to the CStore at any point in the future. Most of them are either only useful at very low levels (basically ANY normal console is more useful than most of them) and are woefully underpowered to the point that they are really not worth claiming today even if you got them at launch anyway. The one truly useful bonus item (the Red Matter Capacitor) has been confirmed as never being available in the game through any other means than the CE.
Not long to wait - Monday is only a couple of sleeps away
Only 1 college after party night knockout session. :P
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Which is why I went online found a copy fairly cheap and bought it for the device. I got some fleeter uniforms that I don't use out of it as well. But the RMC is gold, I use it on every character, and on every ship.
I picked my copy of CE up for only $20AU which is about the same as buying the 2 uniforms that came with the pack.

ive only just started to use my Gorn sci ship I got last time as I dint have a toon low enough before I started my new gorn, would be nice ot have the other gorn ship ready for me when I get there.
My advice is to speed level your character by running the Mirror Universe event as many times as you can, then running as many of the episodes as possible. Get to level 50, keep your doff missions going, et cetera.
If it's like last time, they will do a uniform the first day, a LC ship the second, and a level 40 or 50 ship on the last. But you want to be level 50 on all toons the first day, which is tomorrow. Mirror event and episode missions are the best ways to level fast.

I am with everyone else and it will be three ships. The Fed guesses are easy though with the Delta Quadrant Theme.
Delta Flyer / Intrepid Refit / Intrepid Retrofit
Things get tricky though with the Klingons and Romulans. Romulans will be able to pick up the first two from the KDF or Federation(depending on alignment) but not the last one of either faction.

You paid $20 for that...? Ugh, you should have checked local stores before you did that. I got my copy at EB games for $1. Ironically it was in the bargain bin and I ended up getting it for 50 cents. Go figure
Since this giveaway is only 3 days, it can't follow that schedule. Maybe one uniform, a mid-level ship and a tier 5 ship.
I'm thinking Uni, shuttle, T4 ship...
If I had to predict:
1. Either the "Racing" uniform (pure Voyager theme), or the Counselor / T'Pol uniform (pick one) - the Voyager love might push more sales of 7 of 9 uni...
2. Knowing that there is a big new PvP shuttle arena, they're gonna push out shuttles to get people over there, then start raiding the lobi store for the fighters in there... Especially since KDF got their fighter over the summer, and Feds only got a runabout... :P Though I get the funny feeling that it'll be the Delta Flyer (put into C-store after it was pulled from crafting system...)
3. Yeah, the T5 Intrepid would be the "obvious" ship, but then again, last giveaway was a science ship too, and who knows how that would fly. Also, this doesn't give a lot of love to the KDF and the RR. Therefore, slip down to T4 this time, Bellerphon (the T4 Intrepid-reskin), KDF Gorn Sci & D'Deriex...
Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

Anyway this is a good incentive for new players

hope its the fire works always wonted em , plz plz plz
The fireworks emote is a veteran reward, not a c store purchase.
Again, no promises, just thought I'd put this out there...

Just started a Romulan toon and he can't claim a damn thing. Even if I were to have the Zen now.
FED: Royal Federation Mounted Starfleet: SB3, TAC3, ENG3, SCI3, Win, Int, DOff(T/E/S/B)
KDF: Parliamentary Klingon Empire: SB2, TAC2, ENG2, SCI2, Win, DOff(T)
Interested in joining? Please send a PM to @Tahna_Los.
They won't tell you I guess. With uniforms you're at least safe, as long as your toon is in the right faction.
With ships you're screwed unless you own a character who has reached the minimum level to use them.
The last time they did this, the highest required level was 40 for the last day ship giveaway.

Well the event goes over a course of a week so a rename token, respec token, etc could still be possible.
A new ship would be awesome though.
It;s only three days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Then Season 8.5 on Thursday.
Ship wise the general consensus is that because of Tuvok. it is likely to be an Intrepid.

Judging by the responses, its the "account-wide unlocks" part

day 2 delta flyer
day 3 the intrepid
.... for feds following the voyager theme. but that said anything will be cool. so thanks team for running this kind of promotion.
