A bit incorrect, as three pieces can be obteined at any time by playing the new FE. It seems only the Warp/Singularity Cores have to be obtained by "grinding" the ship event.
Well, if there is any decency left in Cryptic/PWE, the C-store versions should have the same core on them by default.
Currently, Romulans can only obtain a Singularity Core. But we're discussing options.
maybe a tip discuss : remove the grinding!!!
players don't want to grind anymore ,i even grind dilithium and transfer in too zen i make 500 zen a day so you dont make any profit on it.
As far as the FE, say I do it 3 times in level 30 range, when I do hit 50 can I get the upgraded XII consoles through the FE when the event is over or will the FE rewards change after the anniversary event?
The Solanae Shields, Engine and Deflector will remain rewards for running "Step Between Stars" even after the Anniversary Event has ended. The only reward that will be removed is the 400 Qmendations earned for your first playthrough.

Sort of. The free version will have a special 4 piece set with the bought version somehow. Though they are not going to tell you what that is now so you could decide if you really wanted it.
The other set bonus you get is the warp core with the rewards from the FE. So technically 2 4 piece sets, but you'll only know one before you start having to grind for the ship. And the one with the warp core is transferable to other ships since you can transfer the warp core.
the tuvok mission has 3 rewards.
"The Feature Episode will also offer all players the opportunity to choose from a variety of powerful starship equipment known collectively as the ?Solanae Hybrid Technologies Set?. Players may choose one of the three available set pieces (impulse engine, shield, and deflector)"
and the ship itself will have the 4th piece the Warp core/Singularity core.
"These three items combine with the warp core that comes pre-equipped on the Dyson Science Destroyer "
Yeah, I remember the good ol' days where it used to be 'grind OR pay'.
Cryptic, is our money not good enough anymore? Now you have to make spend hours for the 'privilege' of giving you money? You guys are really turning into a bunch of creeps. :mad:

No profit ? Where do you think that Zen you're buying comes from ?

Nifty. Was getting ready to ask that, but I decided to continue reading through the thread. My fault for deleting all but one guy at the end of last year and I've been dragging TRIBBLE leveling guys up.
So. I have 32 characters. That makes 42 total FE runs for my 14 maxed-level characters, and 72 total runs for my lower-leveled characters(1 run each to get the anni ship, then 3 more each after they hit 50 to get the full item set) for a grand total of 114 FE runs.
Add into my astrophobia(fear of really close stars/planets), this will NOT be a pleasant experience for me. Well at least the 480 Q minigames I gotta run won't hurt as much, right?

That's one set.
The other 4 piece set you get from having this one and the 3 c-store ships.
Should call this blog Catch 22. You need to grind the Free Ship for the Deflector that's going to be part of the set bonus for the C-store version, which is going to replace the Free version.
Given this, I bet Season 9 will come with a new Fleet holding.......grind, that offers the Fleet Version of this ship, with a unlockable store of stupid secondary deflectors.
e a player has collected all three variants (full set), they have the option of trading them in at the Lobi Store to obtain one of two different ?upgraded? variants. Each of these Lobi Store EV Suits offer increased stats over the three base variants, in addition to visual upgrades. These upgrades each cost 50 Lobi Crystals, in addition to turning in a full set of Solanae Environmental Suits. Replay the episode to pick up another set and trade it in for the other the variant to obtain the complete ?upgraded? set.
nothing on the question on if z-store ships are the only way to a fleet ships or if the anni ships can be used to bypass the z-store ship and get at the fleet ship.
3 pack = fleet level 10 console ships. So no fleet version of these.

Well, actually you can still pay them. Pay for your inferior anniversary ship with Lobi, and then pay for an upgraded version(s) with Zen.
I still consider the whole concept absurd. It's like a kid being promissed a new iPad for his birthday, but his parents won't give him one unless he jumps around the house on one leg for five minutes every day...
And once he finally gets his iPad he finds out it's a previous generation and a brand new one is coming in a few weeks. But that one he'll have to get with his own money.
Holy TRIBBLE there is a lot of QQ care bears in this thread...
Grind 15 days for the cheapo free version or pay for 25$ for one or 50 for all 3 of your main faction.
And bloody hell...it will probably be another ship that no one flys....
I never see any Plesh breks or risian corvettes and I only see Chel Gretts in nws from dps or nws channels.
So much unwarranted hate...people bitched about the advanced obelisk being in the lobi store, so they have the advanced Dyson ships in the cstore....
And ffs, the previous anniversary ships were like this as well...a weaker version easily attained and 3 pack cstore versions
My faith in this community just free falled...Zomg another grind for a ship I may or may not use...boo hoo.
This is probably a flame ball, some people speak up and join in...
Should move the whole thread to the DOOOMED thread...it's just that bad...
Well, this event is a little different because there is the grind and a unique set item the c-store versions will not have. It's not that easy to simply ignore the event and just go for the store version. And I use the other Anniversary ships.
As far as this anniversary goes I am content with not getting the ship at all. For me the very fact that we can get a MK XII space set from a new featured episode is actually pretty good. I think I will treat myself to a sci Oddy to put it on and call it a day.
If I were not a Lifer I would likely also be happy with the new EV suits as well as we really are getting plenty from this even if you exclude the ship.
Indeed. I, for one, am shocked (SHOCKED!) that Cryptic Studios, which is a business, and which therefore exists for the sole purpose of making money, is trying to make money. How dare they?
Was looking forward to getting a science ship for my rommy that is actually fun to fly but I am not grinding for a 9 console ship, I know I won't fly it. I am out on this one. Not buying any of the packs either.
I REALLY hope that this is not the new science ship that is supposed to be coming to the romulan faction.

Yeah, but the bad part is that one item only comes with the grind version of the ships.....

And on the anniversary event, no less.

haha that's true

Man, this is becoming a very unfun game.
3 pack = fleet level 10 console ships. So no fleet version of these.
at least someone answered the question if it sat much longer i would of created a twitter account and asked bran directly...
thanks anyways shpoks.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

the c-store version is the fleet level version.

yea... so if you skip the grind and buy the $ versions you'll be missing out as well.
You don't want the set bonus, eh? ... You have to grind for the free ship if you want the complete set bonus.

I know right? I don't recall the number of times I had to grind Temporal Ambassador before I got my ship.
Oh wait. It was once.
I REALLY hope that this is not the new science ship that is supposed to be coming to the romulan faction.
