"Each day around 10AM PST, starting this Monday, January 27, 2014 and until next Wednesday, January 29, 2014, we will be posting a news article letting you know which item is free! "
Has anyone caught the typo here though? Starting THIS Monday and until NEXT Wednesday. Meaning that it last for two weeks, from this Monday until next Wednesday, get it? This week till next week, but alas, they also inserted dates that don't go along with the wording they used...
in 10 minutes i would guess, we will find out what the next thing they plan on making free. grabbed the horta yesterday about a minute after it was unlocked on the z-store as free.

Yeah, well, since the original message gave Wednesday's date as the 15th, I think we can excuse next vs this, especially when next Wednesday IS this one.

I expect more ungrateful crying from idiots with an inflated sense of self-entitlement, who think that the free gift should be something that suits them personally.
I also expect stupid threads to voice complaint that the free items didn't meet certain player's ridiculous expectations.
Not to mention more people blindly defending Cryptic's actions, as if they're the salt of the Earth and can do no wrong. Because a Horta totally makes up for yet another grind and two new blatent cash-grabs in the form of Qmendation Boxes and Cooldown Tokens.
Free gifts are nice, but these are just an pathetic attempt to placate everyone who's up in arms about these latest decisions Cryptic has made, and divert attention away from them.

Got mine this morning. They were running out, mine has a little bit of an attitude, maybe I should have come sooner and gotten one a little more to my liking.

Sorry, I don't agree. These issues aren't seperate. They're intrinsically linked, and frankly, they're either the product of the departing EP (in which case, good riddance to bad rubbish) or the new EP (in which case; God help us). The fact that in the past D'Angelo has been linked to decisions that were recieved very badly by the community, i'm concerned that it's the latter.
As I say, i'm not against free gifts, nor do I think we should have free Scimitars foisted on us. But from what i've seen, of late what Cryptic give with one hand, they take away with the other.

So, I picked up the Horta thing we got for free yesterday and added it to a FED toon I'm leveling. Busting thru a Klingon augment factory last night and my Horta takes off... No idea where it went... Finish blasting Klingons and Gorn and move to the next room... Here comes my Horta wriggling back to me in a room full of dead Klingons! My first thought... "Dang, dude..."
Haha ty sir, that made my day.
Tyr shall give me strength! For the glory of Tempus! I am the hands of Shar! Flames of Kossuth, protect me! Oghma, grant me knowledge! Lolth commands, and I obey!
my rommies(over half my captains) just facepalmed :eek::D
yes, no bridge pack for you!
Edit: think it would be cool though to have the ability for roms to use bridge packs from their faction.... think of it as a heavy re-fitting to show their alliance a little more.

This is Cryptic's way of making it so the KDF can't complain that they are the red-headed stepchild anymore...

Today?s FREE Federation C-Store item is the Defiant Bridge Pack!

Just ...meh. I hardly ever visit my bridge so I have no use for these. I'm not complaining though since it is free. I did like the Horta gift. I like having a horta family with my boffs (only my fed has all 3 atm) just for the heck of it so that saved me up to 6m EC together for two more toons.

And Romulans get...nothing because they only have one bridge motif.
Romulans are such decorative fuddy duddies.
Romulans have only few items at the c-store and those that are there are probably selling so I understand why they left them out. And, most of the players that are playing romulans have fed and/or kdf alt so they gave them something.
[1/28 12:22] [Zone #9] Shrann@mhirtes: Gee. Getting a Defiant bridge is not only like getting socks for XMas, but they're used socks that were worn by your creepy uncle who never bathes
Sorry PWE I haven't spent a a** ton of money for you guys to try to pull the wool over the sheeps eyes, GET REAL If you think banning my account is going to stop me from speaking the gods honest truth then your dead wrong, its time for you to listen to your customers MORE WAY MUCH MORE, your trying to give me bridges for a ship that is out dated, I wont even be using my defiant simply because the Fleet Avenger is way better, so don't try giving me free bridges for a ship im not even going to use, That's the Whole reason for me writing this as blunt as possible, im not even going to use, so give away stuff we can actually put to more use, not cool guys, trying to give away defiant bridges to get people to buy defiant.

You do know you can use the bridge on any fed ship

My guess, going on last years event, is something of no less zen value than the polytrinic horta. Possibly a little bit more.
A playable race, perhaps? Joined Trill would be my guess if it is.
Tomorrow i think we can expect a ship of some sort for each faction, probably wont be high tier. Two or three max, perhaps.
Whichever is selling the slowest for each faction at those tiers.
Has anyone caught the typo here though? Starting THIS Monday and until NEXT Wednesday. Meaning that it last for two weeks, from this Monday until next Wednesday, get it? This week till next week, but alas, they also inserted dates that don't go along with the wording they used...

Ooooh, possibly. There has been odd hints about a fleet version.
And they did fix the TalKyr.
And, if they also made it the only tier V fed-ship pilotable by Romulans I'd be extremely happy.
No, it doesn't.
But they're seperate issues.
Praise where its deserved, scold when its earned.
Never just do one of them.
You didn't have to playtest tribble for 1 hour on New Rom?

That one you probably got on summer giveaway.

Maybe it's cooler "in person" than it looks in the screen shot they posted.

The Avenger doesn't have it's own bridge.
