I find that "its only the TRIBBLE nobody wants" comments kind of ungrateful.
Its still free. They don't have to give it away. And I don't see a "trick" to get money out of that in there.
And about the item quality: As far as I know last summer they gave away the Nebula and the Flight deck carrier. Both ships I'd really want to have (pitifully I missed that event entirely). So its far from "useless" IMO.

Well, it DOES encourage people to buy extra ship slots.
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.
As a Sci-ship player the vast majority of the time, I'd GLADLY accept an Oberth...wink, wink, nudge, nudge.... <_<;;
Oberth is fun + useful console. Not recommended in PVE ,but expertly flown it can hold its own for most of the episodes.
Since i actually have one i hope to get other free stuff though. Selfish i know, but still..

1. If the free stuff is stuff I don't already have, woot! That's money I didn't spend to get something. Whether I use it or not, its still a free gift.
2. If the free stuff is stuff I already have, who cares? If I already have it, it means I felt that it was worth paying for and have no reason to cry about it.
last years free items were pretty much items most regular players already had, nothing useful
What exactly are you basing that comment on? Because I had none of the items given away last year, and I found them to be very useful. (I'd been playing about a year at the time of the give away.)
It's not myfault ifyoufeel trolledbymyDisco ball...Sorry'boutit.

Quoted for truth, but as far as T0/T1 ships, I think its the best of the three. I use it religiously for all my 'toons. Sensor analysis alone puts it over the others.
As for the free stuff, the community pretty much nailed it: Just assume that things given away in previous giveaways/promotions (the DS9 outfit is a perfect example) and that are not great sellers.
Since it seems that Cryptic is getting away from Z-Store costuming and limiting new costumes to lockbox items and Rep/Starbase-related unlocks (Spire, Mine, etc), I'm gonna guess the one here will be the Bajoran...but more likely the racing outfit. I always kinda scratched my head at that outfit. The other ship? Likley the retrofit TOS Constituion since it was also given away for free in other promotions.
The only thing which i am sad about is that once a ship has been a free giveaway, the discount in fleet modules for owning a ship does not apply anymore.
It's the reason why i am not yet flying the fleet nova, simply because i still need to grind the dilithium to be converted to zen.

has Captain Janeway said and I quote "Time travel. Since my first day on the job as a Starfleet captain I swore I'd never let myself get caught in one of these godforsaken paradoxes - the future is the past, the past is the future, it all gives me a headache."
but as Admiral Kathryn Janeway says "Oh, the almighty Temporal Prime Directive. Take my advice: it's less of a headache if you just ignore it."
I doubt that it'd be a ship, since we're potentially getting a new one in the event. Hopefully we'll be getting new ship slots. (I think that Brandon mentioned it.) My main's full already with a
Vesta (Purchased, and main ship right now)
Fleet Nebula (upgrade from summer givaway)
Speedboat (Risa)
Ambassador(Last year's anniversary)
Mirror Escort (It was cheap on th exchange)
People running the winter event would be running out of slots, even without buying anything.
With Brandon having already said that the same gifts as given away last year are not being given this time around, I'll admit to being quite excited as to what they WILL give away.
In the last year alone I have picked up the Rhode Island Refit, Nebula Retrofit, Yellowstone, Bajoran Uniforms, TOS Dress uniform, Mirror TOS uniform, WoK Uniforms, B'Rotlh, To'duj, Marauder & Phalanx from one giveaway or another. As it is none of these (I think) then what is left that Cryptic intends to give away is quite the conundrum.
Melee Pack? Only 300 Zen and I have never been tempted to buy this. Might be a good item to give out. Hardly game-changing but it is a single unlock so probably not.
IDIC Tribble? Again only 300 Zen. As this was free to claim at one point, and many already have one, this I can see being given away.
Open Jacket Uniforms? Same price as other uniform unlocks (550 Zen) so why not?
I have one though I can't shift is this...
... What if Cryptic have a bunch of items they've not yet added to C-store which they intend to give away? Mek'leth, Kartakin, Greatcoats, etc. Items people have asked for in the past, and been seen in-game, but which have not been available until now. Can they do that without a patch?

It would be nice to see a 10 console Warship Voyager release in the Z-Store along side of the Delta Quadrant stuff.

Looking for a new fleet? Drop by the in-game chat channel, "tenforwardforum", and say hi to the members of A Fleet Called Ten Forward (Fed) and The Orion Pirates (KDF). If you already have a fleet you are happy with, please feel free to drop by our chat channel if you are looking for a friendly bunch of helpful people to socialize with.
Check back a few pages. People are already complaining about them, without even knowing what they are.

I am not sure if someone has already posted this Developer Blog link about the creative process Cryptic goes through to create a new ship, but they use the example of how they went about creating the 4th Anniversary ships in it.
So if you still want to know how hard Cryptic has been working to give us some Completely NEW ships for this Anniversary. Here is the link to the Blog:
I hope this helps you skeptics out there to realize that Cryptic really does Value it's customers. This is a long process that they went through to give us something for free. Not just an existing ship but something completely New.

I call your statistics and raise it to 93%

Temporal mechanics are quite confusing,
then you confirm my thoughts, I'm collecting zen to buy'it, it's sayd that the full version for fleet it is almost excelent
I personally am not in a fleet ... Don't want to be right now, so I can't comment on the fleet version. However the C-Store one is really good.

Fleet Nebula (upgrade from summer givaway)
