Dunno why but the dev blog translates that you somehow only get it at @10 am. Not the whole day. I hope i'm just paranoid.
You're good.
They've done these before.
The giveaway starts at 10 am and lasts until the next day at 9.59.
So, there'll be four items, probably rising in value.
Sadly, I have a family duty/emergency to do so will be away from a computer I can claim things on after today, but nevertheless i am extremely pleased to see these giveaways.
In 1 hour we'll know if we can be happy or sad puppies for this giveaway.
Starting countdown.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I really think any expectations of themed content being given away are far too optimistic. I expect its a case of giving out the stuff on the c-store that has sold the least over the last year. Seemed to be the case last time, with mid-tier science ship refits and the like.
There's nothing wrong with being happy about freebies, but people, you should stop calling companies "generous". It's advertising, nothing more. Nothing wrong with being glad about presents, but don't get emotional about it - they want you to spend more

Of course, but even a company can be more or less generous.
My wallet snapped shut after the grindaversary, because it converted a generous event (the old player appreciation event) with a seriously less generous one.
It opens fully once they've done, what I'd consider, three generous things.
(what can i say? I set a rule for myself)
Thus far, they're on two.
The alt discount and now this.
We know Cryptic commercialise things, which is normal because they're a commercial company.
But it doesn't mean its unfair to characterise something as 'generous'.
A free gift is still generous, even if its designed to entice you to buy more.
IIRC, in other giveaways there's usually been something for each faction on a given day.
So, if its bridge packs, it'll be a fed one for the feds and a kdf one for them.
Not sure if its always been the case, but they do try to be even handed.
not any time i have been around for them. if my memory serves. like when they gave away the klingon fighter. that was it for that day. and another day my sole feddy toon got something. dont get me wrong im not complaining because its equal chance for every account and actually encourages the use of other factions. just saying is all .
Trophies for killing FEDS ahh those were the days.

Didnt we get the yellowstone for the feds the day we got the KDF fighter?
Eat plenty of prunes and in due time it will show itself. Not sure if you can/want to use it again though.

Last time when it was a week, First 2 days it was uniforms for Feds, Day 3 was Yellowstone Runabout foe Fed and Tu'Doj Fighter for KDF. Day 4 was the Rhode Island Science Vessel Refit for Feds and the SuQob Raptor. and Finally on Day 5 Feds for the Nebula Advanced Research Vessel Retrofit and KDF got the Marauder Flight-Deck Cruiser.

Read it fast and carefully, though, since the update to the STO website frustratingly places that Arc advertisement over the original articles and doesn't redirect you to the new article on Arc or make it easy to find.

Generosity like this opens my wallet.

I'm happy about it anyway.
To me, the important thing here isn't the stuff, but the spirit in which it is offered.
And at that point it stops being generous
