    Do you really think it will be a ship that's worth having? For free? LMAO, likely it will be a fighter or a shuttle. And if it is a full size ship it's likely to be tier 3-4 and worthless to any lvl 50 player.
    But, Dev blog says it starts tomorrow (Friday) and it also says "Each day around 10am PDT".

    Cryptic NEVER gave any free ship in a free-items event. But only new people seem to forget it. Cryptic will give away items that are not selling in the c-store. As always. God, some of you seem really new.. seriously. xD. And naive... tooo naive.. :P (this is dedicated to all those guys, not you). If they said they going to give a free ship (i didnt read it anywhere) it has nothing to do with the event. And of course it will be a not worthy crappy ship. Probably a shuttle.

    You are wrong, they did give away the Nebula Class science vessel as well as the Yellowstone as well as other small ships.

    Pretty sure I got a ship or two last year. A FED and a KDF ship, I just don't remember exactly which ones they were.

    They also gave away a tier 5 Orion Marauder, which my female Orion has been enjoying as her main ship ever since.

    In a give away c-store event?? i dont think so. Those were gifts separated from this sort of events.

    BTw, i dont understand 1 thing.. time ago, the maintenance patchs will last only for 2 hours. And cryptic included more fixes (well they tried, but we all know cryptic) and a lot more updated stuff than nowadays. And still, now the maintenance is for 3 hours and it doesnt include ANYTHING. Can someone explain this? lol.

    Ugh. Why does Cryptic even give the time of maintenance in UTC, if they can't convert it properly to this time zone? Maintenance started at 1400 UTC, not 1500 UTC. And I wasted time trying to log in before 3pm.

    the last event around the 4th anniversary they gave out the gladius escort, which has that impulse capacitor console thingy, and a raptor that comes with the bionural warhead.
    Galactic Horde.

    Excuse me, but YES they did give away ships in the last giveaway.....So before you go flaming and calling names maybe you should get your facts straight. 2 Giveaways ago they gave away a T5 ship and the last time they did this they gave away the Raptor refit/retro (whichever it was) and some other useless ships.

    I know everything for everyone can not be resolved at once and things take time. I for one would like to know when STO is going to start offering real customer serveries since they charge real world money. I am lucky enough to have the disposable income to put usually $50 to $2k USD in every month, but when there are issues the response time to fix them or the person relying seems to think I am someone to be written off. I have 4 issues going on 3 years that have been un-resolved. I would like someone to contact me regarding these issues that total over 3k in real world money. I am vested and support the game, it's time I receive some real world customer service or I will be forced to look towards a third parties to resolve them. You GM in game responses fail to relalize this is real money; that being said the community is now made of adults not teenagers.

    Who did i insult?? or i called names?? :eek:, lol, there must be always a guy keeping things out of context xD. And again, did you bother to read?? of course cryptic gave away a lot of free ships in the past, i was just saying that the free away event is not carrying free ships. I was wrong, so case ended.

    Wow, all this arguing about TRIBBLE, and nobody mentions the fact that they just gave away the launch date for Delta Rising?

    The bonus XP event ends on a Tuesday. In the middle of October. And it's bonus XP for a month. If that doesn't peg the DR launch date as Oct 14, I don't know what does.

    Honestly, i dont "give a TRIBBLE" about the next expansion, same for A LOT of people. So the release date is not too important for me. Anyways, i am not interested in too much of the new expansion, the only thing im expecting are new episodes xD, thats all. Besides im pretty sure that will be the day i will stop playing STO, so i really dont want to rush things xD.

    That was leaked a while ago. No official word. But right after thier panel in STLV2014 the talk on release date had coelesced on that date and was indirectly confirmed. So people moved on to other hot topics after that.

    And I dont't have that info at my finger tips at this moment.
    Federation: Fleet Admiral Zombee (Alien Tactical)::Fleet Admiral Danic (Vulcan Science)::Fleet Admiral Daniel Kochheiser (Human Engineer)
    KDF: Dahar Master Kan (Borg Klingon Tactical)::Dahar Master Torc (Alien Science)::Dahar Master Sisteric (Gorn Engineer)
    RR-Fed: Citizen Sirroc (Romulan Science)::Fleet Admiral Grell (Alien Engineer)
    RR-KDF: Fleet Admiral Zemo (Reman Tactical)::Fleet Admiral Xinatek (Reman Science)::Fleet Admiral Bel (Alien Engineer)
    TOS-Fed: Fleet Admiral Katem (Andorian Tactical)::Lieutenant Commander Straad (Vulcan Engineer)
    Dom-Fed: Dan'Tar (Jem'Hadar Science)
    Dom-KDF: Kamtana'Solan (Jem'Hadar Science)

    "But only new people..." So, you're calling people noobs. "And naive", so you're wrong as you stated in your last post, yet you call us "naive". Flaming and calling names. No I'm not really offended, just making a point.....before you call people noobs or naive it might be a good idea to get your facts in order.Just saying. ;)

    For the same reason everybody, because the game is still alive. But after the next expansion, it wont. So im not talking just for myself, im talking for everybody else. If cryptic doesnt fix the invisible weapons bug, everybody will stop playing by that time.
