If you are giving away a T5 Ambassador, why not give away the T5 Kamarang instead of a Gorn ship?
Wasn't the Season 1 TNG uniform given way already?
Nothing much for Romulans and Klingons.
Most of the give aways (except for possibly the Ambassador) most people probably have by now.
I'm grateful for free stuff, but I would at least like some thought put into it.
How the Devs see Star Trek, apparently:
Star Trek: The Original Grind
Star Trek: The Next Grind
Star Trek: Deep Space Grind
Star Trek: Voyage to the Grind
Something is wrong then all but the TNG unform is not on the c store for me. I logged in to my Klingon and nothing.
Well other then the Ambassador I had that one already on my fed.
Elemental Evil is the best module ever it fixed all the bugs!

You need a Fed character to get the uniform. It's not claimable for KDF players, IIRC.
Don't quote me on this, though, I'm not a dev (obviously), and I haven't tried to claim uniforms from opposite factions before.
You(STO) do remember that you created a faction called Romulan right? It was not that long ago. I appreciate that you are willing to give away anything at all but if you do, please try to make it balanced among the 3 factions. It's bad enough that Feds have more ships and upgrades. I mean give or take a couple, the Klingons have 68, the Romulans have 44 and the Feds...have 96. You could always allow Romulans to use tier 5 ships of their allied faction. Please forgive my rant I understand that you must cater to the largest part of you player base which is most likely Fed but perhaps the Romulan and Klingon factions would become more popular if they received more attention. Again the overhaul of ESD was great and well done. (Will miss the club). Is a similar overhaul planned for the Klingons? Thank you for listening and for a fun game. I hope the devs will take into account mine and others comments on this matter.

The items only become available on the stated day, and they're only available for 24 hours, whereupon the next item will become available. It says so in plain English in the blog.

Actually, I claimed the TNG uniform pack from my KDF character. She can't actually *wear* it, but it now says it is unlocked for all Fed characters on my account.
I'll probably check from one of my Fedlings later today, just to be sure.
EDIT: Logged in briefly from work (gasp) and checked, it did work properly and my Fed characters have TNG season 1 duds available. Which reminds me, remember there are two different C-store items for TNG, the giveaway is for the season one uniforms (including the funky Admiral uniform)

If you bothered to read the post which you didn't I stated quite clearly I only the uniform was available but nothing else.

You mean you can't see the items listed at all? Even with a cost? (you won't be able to see the Ambassador in any case I think).
Correct - the T5 Ambassador has not been available outside of this event or the original featured episode release period. If I read the new item correctly, it now unlocks it for all your Fedlings, which is nice as I have a couple that weren't high enough level to get the T5 version last time it was available.

Or if you're like me and dismissed the ship to make room for something else. Its a good alt cruiser and its cool to see cryptic dig a little bit to find a nice give-away item.

They may have taken them down to prevent anyone who may not be paying attention from picking them up a mere day or two before they're given away. The ambassador isn't also a regular c-store item, it was the 3rd Anniversary prize and has only seen a Fleet version hit the more accessible parts of the game.

I see the bridges and the klingon ship in the c store but it says I don't have enough zen.
....
The give away starts now with today's item being the TNG uniform. Tomorrow we get the bridges. Sunday: AGT uniform. Monday: ships.

Wow, sure am glad I have 2 Rommy toons! Otherwise I might feel neglected. So is it going to be like this everytime? Last 2 give aways the Roms get screwed and again this time. Why did you guys bother to create the Rom playable faction? They can't stand on their own as Romulans they have to "Align" with Fed or KDF, and they get screwed over and/or forgotten when you introduce something new or give something away. What a waste. Shame too.
It would be nice, since you like to give away bridge packs, if you guys would come up with a bridge pack for one of the largest and most popular ships in the game...Jem Hadar Dreadnaught, it's a large ship with a single room bridge that's no bigger than a Temporal Destroyer bridge. I know I know....wishful thinking.
Thanks for the give away...though your not giving away 1 single item that is useful nor desirable to me.
Friday August 29 – The “The Next Generation Season One” costume pack
Saturday August 30 – The “Galaxy Bridges” and “Raptor Bridges” bridge packs
Sunday August 31 – The “All Good Things Uniforms” costume pack
Monday September 1 – The “Support Cruiser Retrofit: Ambassador Class” Tier 5 starship and “Varanus Support Vessel” Gorn Tier 5 starship
A nice lineup, but three questions:
1) As an account-wide C-Store unlock, will the Support Cruiser Retrofit provide us with a Fleet Ship Module discount?
2) Why the Varanus rather than the Kamarang, if you're making old Anniversary ships available?
3) Why not Monday giving Romulans the D'Deridex, so at least they get something? As it stands, KDFRoms can't even use the costume unlocks for their boffs, and that was one of the most iconic TNG Romulan craft...
Other than that, thanks for the free goodies! Much appreciated
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
2) Why the Varanus rather than the Kamarang, if you're making old Anniversary ships available?
Different faction, different ships available, different tendencies in what people buy. Basically I doubt KDF captains would be as appreciative of yet another battlecruiser (when the Bortasqu is probably the most used c-store KDF vessel) whereas a science ship is just one of those things you wouldn't pay for yourself but it would still be worth a laugh to use. Sci-heavy FED cruisers might stack up the same way on their side (though why the ROM's don't get a token something is a little beyond me, they're left out entirely from this event except where it comes to boff fashion and tricking out T1-4 ship interiors.)

As far as the Bort lineup... she's got some seriously mixed reviews if you're being charitable; probably the Tor'kaht or Mogh are the most well-received battlecruisers, though the boff layout does make the Kamarang rather interesting as well. Surprisingly few KDF Fleet ships were made from T5 vessels, though, meaning that they tend to be more expensive compared to the Fed lineup; if the answer to #1 is "yes", getting a battlecruiser actually eligible for a Fleet Ship Module discount would be wonderful (and the Mogh is far too recent an addition for anyone to expect that for free).
Otherwise... Fair point. The Varanus Support Vessel does make more sense as a gift, being (as you said) something we'd be less likely to purchase for ourselves. It's a decent enough ship, but rather outdated since it basically works out as a Deep Space Science Vessel with a lower Shield Mod and more crew, neither of which are really an improvement. Plus side, it would make getting a Fleet version more reasonable, and it does lob on a console to toy with

I am surprise that I do not see the TNG Series 1 uniform in C-Store even though I own it already.

It's basically the Mirror Universe Heavy Cruiser Retrofit's inspiration:

Think Assault Cruiser with different looks, and they swap the LtCDR ENG and the LT SCI so that you get LtCDR SCI and LT ENG.

Then I suggest you reread my original post, or the blog post itself. The items only become available (reduced to free) on the day they are offered.
