    What Cryptic? Nothing for Romulans.

    Two days in a row of no gear. I'm Romulan and I do not want a Federation or Klingon bridge or ship. If someone says oh Romulan have better traits or all around ships. So what become a Romulan officer.

    I really think Cryptic is interested in giving out Romulan goodies. Sadly Cryptic sucks in that area.

    The Roms DO get to use these, because any Tier 5-and-below ship (excluding VA ones) is available to them, including consoles.

    And it's still only Day 3; a Tier 5 ship giveaway would be the last day at the very least
    this giveaway is for only 3 days theres nothing for tomorrow except the upday and feature episode

    You think you guys could put a bit of effort into your website? Being down due to heavy traffic for a half hour every day of this giveaway is ridiculous, and should be solved for next time.

    That's unrealistic. You plan your hardware/bandwidth around average peak load. If you planned it around anomalies like several million people hitting F5 10 times a second, you would go broke.

    Wait, you're complaining about something free? Guess what, you don't need to get it. Cryptic isn't requiring anyone to get these free items at all. So, here's a suggestion: stop whining.

    I really dunno what they expect, cryptic will NEVER give away a T5 / 2500+ zen ship. Maybe they will in the last day, but only maybe and its a long shot..

    Besides, as we said time ago, they will give away items that they are not selling. I hope im wrong for the last day. Its always about gaining more money or in this case, not losing at all. But its still a free item, i still dont get why people complains so much about free stuff.

    They should be complaining about everything that is free in-game then..

    I have a doubt, if i create now a klingon toon, can i claim the ship now?? or do i need to level up?

    Cryptic have given away T5 ships in the past as we have been given the Nebula Retrofit and the Marauder cruiser KDF side.

    Edit: To answer your question you need to level up first to the appropriate level before claiming it.

    You need to be at least the same rank as the ship.

    And darn, I was right. The power tray of my main ship is all messed up now.

    If you have a Klingon Character at level 50, you can claim it on that character and all subsequent characters will get it. The minimum Level required for the ship (to use) is Commander.

    That is what you get for being a romulan. Honestly i think Romulans are already filled with great ships, consoles and a huge etc. Federation players are the most needed, almost that is what i think, and thats the reason cryptic (i guess) is putting more efforts on fed and klingon.

    But still, maybe you have a surprise in the last day, maybe the great item awards for romulan players but you need to be patient, who knows.

    Can i get a permaban in sto, so i wont make the misstake to come back and waste money into this TRIBBLE?

    Yes....let's complain about spending money in a thread regarding free ships being given away in a free-to-play game.

    I assume the same reasoning as before stands for no Romulan exclusive content. They're the newest faction, don't have much in the C store, and so they aren't giving anything away for them specifically.

    Sadly, they said they were not given away in the giveaway event last summer, not that they had never given them away. :(

    ah ok. could have picked another ship tho, I expect the reason that ship never sold well was because almost every kdf player already had it for free.

    Down when. Hasn't been down for me ever. Anyway common sense prevails that during events such as this there is gonna be alot more traffic than normal. Just have to show patience.:)

    Nice - I'm another person who always kind of wanted the Gladius but could never really justify it.

    And this is the first time I've actually read what a Bio-Neural Warhead is. The Klingons put AIs in their bombs?

    It IS a good day to fly at someone and explode!

    For those complaining about the lack of a Rommie ship, let's get real for a sec. Unless you have a character in the appropriate level range you're not gonna use the ship anyway. At best you'll swipe the console and use it somewhere else.

    So what good is a level 10 or 20 ship unless you have a Romulan in that level range? And even if you do, how long do you expect them to be in that level range? Not very long, which means a very limited use. While the extra ship is nice, for 90% of us it's all about the console, which Romulans can use too.

    Chances are the Romulan ships are still selling pretty well, and they're just not going to give away stuff that people are buying.

    Guess what? You're the one whining and being ignorant. You're also belittling people
    Here's a news flash for you: the ships can be claimed by Romulans...

    and here is one for you: they are not romulan ships. they are allied ships. It goes directly against what we were told about items for all the races. and don't try and play semantics with me, you know exactly what i'm saying

    So, you attack, belittle and tell him to leave, for stating a fact. Plus you use the 'players like you' bs. Ignorant and offensive attack against a player. Reported.

    EDIT: hmm, for some reason I thought the giveaways went all week, but apparently not. Today is the last one :(

    Nice, so now I'm at 4/5 from this anniversary. Didn't have these ships yet and they will be a wellcomed adition in my roster. :)
    I love them, especially that SuQob class - is mighy fine looking, you need to consider making a fleet version of that one! And the bio-neural....oh my, I sense a disturbance in the force! :P

    Anyway, thanks Cryptic for this giveaway I got some stuff I didn't have yet! :)

    I saw nothing of the sort. All they said that I saw was that they would be doing a giveaway from Monday to Wednesday, would be C-store account-wide unlocks, and would not be the same items as the previous giveaway. I saw nowhere where they said "This includes Romulan specific content as well", only that they didn't say like last time that there wouldn't be any Romulan specific content.

    Again I already had this, third day and it's another giveaway that I already have. Not that I don't like it because if I didn't it's a welcome gift to those who don't have it, don't get me wrong here.....

    What about the rest off you ?
