Seriously. I can't wait 'til I get the new Dyson ships, the EV suit (it looks AMAZING) and the new party popper. Getting the Qmendations won't bother me in the least, and getting the prize and getting to fly a Science Vessel with a fun Bridge Officer seating will be pretty fun!
So, thanks for all the goodies and for keeping the ship running for 4 years now. Hopefully another 4 will follow!

Even if you grind the ship, you will still need to purchase the C-Store version(s) to get the maximum out of it.
The EV-Suits, well you've got to grind 3 of those to upgrade them to one of the good ones and still pay 50 Lobi on top. With "at least 4 Lobi per Box" you've got to open maximum 12.5 boxes (so 13) or with an average of 5 Lobi still 10 boxes, just to get one EV-Suit...
This all seems too grindy, usually you don't need to work for presents. I think I won't participate in this grindy fun this time, even if I don't get the Dyson-Deflector, hey the next Fleetholding will offer you one that is 1.5 times as good as this one...
If Star Trek Online was an Open-Source (GPL) Game, we would have a low-grind fork.
Yeah, it's kinda sucky that they put the upgraded versions of the EV suits behind the Lobi paywall, but I honestly don't mind. Every activity I do in the game (well, almost everything) gives me Dilithium which I can always convert to Zen to buy lockbox keys or make a few million to buy 'em off the exchange, no big deal.
And who said I needed to buy the Z-Store versions of the ships? I'm pretty sure I'll be just as happy with my 9 console versions
This isn't a grind. When you have to kill monsters because they drop a mission item but they only have like a 15% chance to drop 'em and you need 100 of the red AND blue ones, THAT'S a grind. This? Menial work at its worst. Not even worth the title of grind. People are just mad and pissed because 'oh no, we have to spend a few more minutes getting Qmendations for 15 days, woe is me!' Come on, people. It's just a simple, short task you do once per day, that's it. No big deal. Everything in the event is still free, don't see what's the big deal.
It's nice to see someone else who just sees the good in the anniversary event. I've been happy about this new ship since they first announced it and I can't wait to start the project to claim it on all my characters.
There won't be a fleet version of the Dyson science destroyers. The C-store versions that will be released later when this event is over as you said will have the 10th console slot so there would be no point in them trying to release a fleet ship since the only change would be slight hull and shield increases.
Furthermore, you left behind some information about the ships. The warp core/singularity core that comes with the free version of the ship will not be offered again, and if you wish to have the full effect of the items that come from the Featured Episode, then you have to get the core too.
Nope dont like hirogen that much
300 won't be enough. If it's anything like the Winter or Summer event grinds, 300 lobi will maybe save you 2-3 days worth of Qmmendations at best. I recommend you save them, maybe for the upgraded EV suits, or perhaps some lobi gear like a Tachyokinetic converter if you don't already have one. And that's if you're REALLY not into saving up for a lobi ship of some kind, either one currently available or some future release.
bumped up tetryon weapons? no thanks. not unless the parts to the scistroyer give a significant boost to tet weapons.
with the jem set ori set and embassy gear giving significantly higher dps bonuses, I can't see not using Polaron, AP or plasma
All in all, unless the FE and the grinds are exceptionally fast and easy, I won't bother, because I think you are going to find a properly built sci ship that exists now will be comparable. of course if you are strictly rom/kdf, them it might be worth the grind. only reason i did the ORI grind with Worf's FE was to get the AP enhancing set. My KDF toons certainly don't need the carrier when they are sporting Fish boats
it would be realy cool if you could add a single ship upgrade for say 1000zen per character to add the extra bells & whistles to the free ship like the 10th console slot ect i would definatly buy that for each character as funds allow.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
But everyone look on the brightside - TUVOK!
Happy Tuvokversary!!!
Do you have a link to that confirmation?
I read it is a 3 pack (ie rom, fed, kdf) all in one and I assume each sold individually as well.
They mention a console that comes with the c-store version to make a 4 piece set with all the free stuff. that indicates to me 1 ship of each type.
That's where you're wrong. 300 Lobi is just enough to stop the grind - you're getting 10-20 Qmendations, not 4-6 like the Winter/Summer events.
:DReally Seriously
not that i plan to spend lobi on it, but i really wish they would just give us the full 40 per what ever amount. it's then dead easy for people to see how many days they will save.
While its miles better than 4-6 even spending some lobi and getting 30 Qmendations is useless.
There will be 3 bundles of 3 ships, one for each faction.
Confirmed by BranFlakes:
Nuts. my original thought of it being a mixed 3 pack was looking quite attractive. Shame as unless they do something amazing with it, I think ill pass on that.
Once its back up, do the mission advertised in the journal. then do the daily at the academies.
Makes sense, thanks for the reply
Raises another question tho, where does everyone get the information about what exactly is in the event? I'm obviously watching the wrong news source as I only knew about the three days of give-aways leading up to the anniversary.
most everything of value is found within the respective dev blogs. Sometimes there is additional info in the forums as well. best to check the dev tracker subsection for those.

As far as the ships go, I dont need nor want them. All my chars are sitting in Fleet versions of ships with fleet gear anyway. No desire to grind for a ship that will just sit and never be played when what I have already is better for my characters career specialization anyway.
I am going to do it 1 time to see and hear Tuvok.
Thank you for the free not-so-easy-to-get-items, multiplied by the number of characters we have.
Thank you soooooo much! :rolleyes:
Yup. This exactly.
