Free things are always nice. I don't own any of these so i'll have some more options for uniforms and bridges now which is always nice.
The two T5 ships is a nice bonus though, i was toying with getting an Ambassador a while ago but saved my Zen for something else so it's very welcome.
And i just like the look of the Varanus so it'll do nicely for any KDF toons i start up.
Everyone in the romulan faction has to align either Fed or KDF thus giving Romulans access to Fed and KDF ships thus meaning regardless which side you chose a romulan still has access to one ship or the other... They didn't "ignore us".
u CAN´T use them. look on it in c-store. inform urself before talking brainless. U are able to choose the sides yes but also not for the higher ships just the lower ones and tell me, what makes romulanes unique? a part of it is to be able to use the sigularity warpcore so why i should fly around with a ship that cant use it?

How about the free Superior Overpowered BOFFs or the T'varo which is superior to the B'rel in every way and available with a T1 shipyard? Romulans have very little to complain about - maybe a lack of real science vessels, but that's about it. Rom faction has more FSM-discount ships than KDF does, and the faction is a year old.

I already got Galaxy bridges (from bundle) but thats it, so
the rest is welcome...
Especially the ships.
The Ambassador class is the T5 variant, that people almost begged
Cryptic to release for long time...
It's the same ship (i think) that is used in mission
"Temporal Ambassador" - but it's the one used, not he one
given as reward for mission (that one is T3 Ambassador now,
though there was some talk that it was T5 version when the mission
was first launched).
As for T5 Kamarang - it would be harder, because even when
i did the mission as KDF - it still used T5 Ambassador...
The Varanus is too interesting - especially, when there was
talk some time ago about how all science ships will get
secondary deflectors in future... - well maybe it will be now?
for sure, ppls like him made it many times and if u are in many forums then u will get sick of ppls that means to say something and dont know even the right.
and if the romulans are so good why then there are still so many feds? i dont talk about what romulans have already. im talking about that cryptic shoud be fair. the ships they offer arent the best but usuable and i dont care if the ship sucks that they will make for free for romulan fraction but it would be fair just to throw one ship out thats it. romulans dont have a brifge style to change, they have only the good ships from the fleet and maybe the scimmy but not that much as the rest and for real at least even a shuttle would be fair then, its just not okay.

Rude.
Wrong.
Look at the ships. They are lvl40 ships. They come with VIII gear by default. They are NOT lvl50 ships. That means both should be available for Roms to use, faction-depending.
Wow, yet to get the outfits. Was debating if I wanted to buy them or not during the discount. Glad I didn't.
Bridges, already got. Can't win them all. :P
But what I'm really surprised about is the Tier 5 Support Cruiser unlocks. The T5's were only available for a short time in playing Temporal Ambassador during the anniversary, and the only way you could fly them at Tier 5 after that, was buying from the Fleet Shipyard. But now, they are back and a C-store unlock. Which is going to be free for a day?

It's amusing the stuff that cryptic chooses to give away for free. I can't help but wonder how they select the giveaways? Based on sales(or lack thereof)? Because as I recall last time there was a t1 ship, a t3 ship, a horta pet, a costume? a bridge pack, of all things... all things that the typical player would look at in the cstore and go 'meh I can't see spending money on that'.
So are they giving this stuff away because they can't sell it?
Yeah, because it's taking up too much space on their shelves. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the free stuffs. I love the ambassador and I know the varanus is good. But for me, I love the costumes and haven't been able to afford them all yet, so a big thanks.
Also while I do like getting one post per day about that day's item, I also appreciate knowing ahead of time what's coming. Happy Picard weekend!

Sorry bud. I tried using the Excelsior Retrofit on a Romulan character and it wouldn't let me buy the ship. While he definitely was rude and poorly-spoken (figuratively), he is still correct. Romulan characters CAN use C-Store vessels made for Starfleet and the Klingon Empire at Captain level, but no higher.
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

Holiday Weekend I am sure the prizes will be it until after the Holiday Ends where everyone returns on 9/2. This and current going on more than enough. Still be able to have your parties this weekend.
before complaining that the kdf didnt get a free uniform, open the cstore and count how many uniforms the kdf even have available...
You counting ONLY the ones that work, or all of them ?
Nice gesture but I already own all these giveaways. Are the raptor bridges finally fixxed ? I couldn't use them when I acquired them 2 years ago because my toon would fall thru the floor sometimes. And tho the T5 kamarag is one of the best klink cruisers in the game I see little value in forcing peeps who already own the T5 to login and re-claim it so they can keep it as an account unlock, it should be done automatically server side. (assuming a KDF toon gets the KDF ship instead of the feddie one)
Someone just reminded me of something regarding this Giveway.
If the Tier 5 Ambassador is going to be a Free C-store unlock (which likely is permanent), then what about the Tier 5 Kamarag? Is there going to be a C-store unlock for that too (just not free atm?) Or the blog forgot that it's getting a free unlock too?

Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
A question: Since the T5 Ambassador is not a part of the regular C-Store lineup, does that mean that I'll have to claim one on every char I want to use it on, or it will remain as claim-able unlock in my C-Store tab?

Wrong. its just wrong. i got a romulan char and im lvl 50. when i look at the ships in the c store then it says i cant use them.
sto wiki says also Tier 5
so?
in addition, why should i use a fed ship as a romulan char? isnt the reason to play a romulan to play also romulan ships?
Awesome thanks for the wonderful gifts. Most of them I don't have and will make use of them. The Season 1 uniforms I didn't have. I love that look so they will be used. Plus I have the Admiral now too. So I can really look the part. The raptor bridge will be used since I don't have many options for my KDF ships. The Gorn ship I can use as well. Since I don't have one. Seeing the Ambassador back as well is good. Now I can make sure to add it to my characters. My upcoming Sci character can make use of it. Since its more Science based. The All good things uniform also will be nice. I might use it, I might not. That one is kinda a toss up.

Don't mention that or us klinks might lose that gift too.
Well, if not the Varanus (i.e. an inferior Deep Space Science Vessel that costs 2000 Zen and has a special console added in) or Kamarang (an Anniversary Event ship from the same year as the Ambassador), what else would they give free? Remember, they want to give us something nice without undercutting their own profits, which is perfectly reasonable. There aren't that many alternatives at T5/L40/2000 Zen for them to hand out, and giving out a T5/L50/2500 Zen ship would be asking a bit much...
It's pretty much the Varanus that they are giving out according to the Dev Blog, the Kamarang that hasn't been available since the Annversary Event (along with the T5/L40 Ambassador), or the Marauder FDC that they gave out last year.

Is it a claim that's only available for 1-day or a permanent unlock? So be nice if they clarify.

The answer is "yes"...
You can only claim it Monday, 9/1/2014, but once claimed will remain unlocked in the C-Store, account-wide, available to be reclaimed on existing characters and also all future characters.
NOTE: Claiming this option unlocks this ship for all Federation characters on an account.
Once you own the ship, if it has been discharged, it can be reclaimed via the C-Store or at Ship Requisitions.
Think of it as being similar to the Horta from last year's event; the item itself was originally a single-item purchase, but the special Summer Giveaway version works as an account-wide C-Store unlock despite that.
