We are glad to hear so many of you are liking this new mechanic for claiming special rewards for Alts
Hope you all enjoy your Risian Yachts along with the Corvette, and if you love this new idea, make sure to let us know how much you would like it for the next Winter Event and Anniversary Event too!

In the name of all that is good in the universe, YES. Please add this to the Winter event too. Not really into the Risian Ships (but I am glad for those that are). But the Breen vessels without having to do the race every day for a month on ALL of my alts would be most welcome.

Very funny.
Of course I love this idea. I might have even done the grindaversary grind if this were in place back then (although, I'm still opposed to it in principle, Anniversaries should remain with a free - entirely free of grind - ship).
Very much looking forward for this to be applied to the Breen ships. My Romulans are waiting for their Plesh Brek.

Yes, thank you for the summer discount! I wasn't gonna get the corvette on any of my other characters, but now, there's really no reason not to
As for expanding it to the other ship-grinding events... YES PLEASE. I want my Breen raider on some of my other characters, and this would make it actually feasible for me to get it

Absolutely, the fact that so many aspects of this game are hideously alt unfriendly, (mostly due to dill costs on this or that), is pretty much my No1 beef, you most often go out of your way to stick the middle finger up at anyone with an alt. let alone several.

Sarr Thelns for everybody.
And yes this feature is fantastic.
It makes the events to earn the pearls much more fun only having to do it once.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Absolutely hate this mechan.. :eek: (knocks sense back into self) .. Seriously how can we not love this mechanic? Had this been around at the Anniversary event I would have still been here then but as it happened with having to choose which of 15 or so alts was going to get the ship - none of them got it.
Please keep this mechanic for all events like this
It is certainly getting more alt friendly as time goes on, not to mention pointless expenses have been removed recently. Just glad to see the game going in a new and better direction with this kind of thing
Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head. - Euripides
I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.
So if my main has the Vette already from last year? then that means my alts that do not have it can get it discounted? and same will go for the new ship?
Of course I love this idea. I might have even done the grindaversary grind if this were in place back then (although, I'm still opposed to it in principle, Anniversaries should remain with a free - entirely free of grind - ship).
I agree wholeheartedly with you here. Remember when the Odyssey and Bortas classes where first released a few years back? For that anniversary event all you had to do was the mission taking said ship out on its shakedown cruise and you got it.
Last anniversary I came on ran the thing once, realized that I would have to grind and grind and grind. Well nuts to that, I did it once and stopped. So I didn't get the ship.
The seasonal event grind is one thing, but the anniversary events are another. Someone at Cryptic must really, really love monotonous, repetitive jobs since Cryptic seems to think that Grind = Fun.

YES! YES! A Thousand Times YES!.
It was so annoying grinding out the Corvette, the Breen Ships and the most recent Anniversary ships on all my characters. Having thi makes it so much easier for alts and doesn't drive you crazy with having to run it on all your characters each and ever day so they can get your ship and even get old ships they might have missed.
Though having this for Anniversary Ships is good as well but would perfer to have that return to run the special anniversary mission and you get the anniversary ship like last year with the Kamarag and Ambassador Retrofits.
The discount was a huge move in the right direction when it comes to making events more alt-friendly. I really hope we're gonna see the similar thing for any future events that would involve grinding for ships.
BUT...
Cryptic, please consider some sort of project that would allow us to exchange the excess of Pearls/Photos/Qmendations for something. For example, add a project that would exchange 40 Pearls for let's say 40 Favors, which would ONLY become available once the character already purchased the event ship.
Not only this would encourage people to run the daily even after they've got their ship, but it would also serve as an additional source of Favors/Ornaments or other currencies.
I mean, you've already done it with the Crystalline and Mirror Events, so why not add it to Summer/Winter events as well?

Like it? I love it! I had 7 characters for last year's summer event and I was determined to get the corvette on all of them. Talk about a nightmare! I spent so much time on STO and the grind, that I didn't get much else done last summer and I never really got to enjoy that much else on Risa. I was always grinding! And don't even get me started on the winter and anniversary event grinds! They were even worse for me!
This year I have 3 new characters (for a total of 10) and I wanted the corvette for them too. But I was not about to grind at all for the new ship, that is, until I heard about the discount. Now my 3 new characters already have their shiny new corvettes and my main character has already started the grind for the luxury cruiser, while my other characters are 'standing by', waiting for the discounted price. And I'm getting to enjoy the other stuff on Risa too. Thank you a lot, Cryptic. Your winning me back over too.
Oh, and a yes and heck yes, for including the discount with the next winter and anniversary event!:D
P.S. I too support the idea of a rep project that converts extra pearls to favors, after we have the ships.
