Suggestion for winter event reward

xuelxuel Member Posts: 169 Arc User
edited November 2014 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I don't know of you guys are done with ship for winter event reward or not, if you'll even give us one. But I was thinking it may be a little easier to make a token as a reward to get a t6 ship of chose. Now this will not be a account unlock, much the same way as the free t5 reward is for veteran/lifetime players. So if we pick the ship and not like it and get rid of it, we can't go and get it free later or get it free on a alt, we'll still need to spend the 3k zen for that.

    The winter ship is effectively confirmed to be a T6 Sar Theln carrier. If you have any of the old winter ships, look at the consoles and you'll notice that it can be equipped on a T6 sar theln. However, you won't see Cryptic official confirm it until the winter event.

    Q is a jolly old fellow but i doubt he's $30 jolly.

    He's pretty generous as it is.

    by jove you are correct.
    I had a few little chuckles when people said they thought it would be T6 but im beginning to think you are correct and I was wrong.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    As a rule of thumb (and as mentioned by TacoFangs back on Friday's livestreams), design and planning for the Winter and Summer events are done way before they are mentioned (Winter event is complete in the summer and Summer event is completed during the winter). For example, he mentioned that Winter event was finished back in July and at this point, we should be offering suggestions for the Summer 2015 event and the Winter 2015 event.

    T6 Sar Theln carrier, best gift from cryptic ever.
    and the icing on the cake is if you have the previous ships you also end up with a 3 part epic console set for each of your 3 breen ships on any character that has them all just by reclaiming them for free from the dilithium store tab on your mini map and fitting the set to all 3 ships.

    and of course now they have set a president and given a T6 ship for this event its highly unlikely they will go back to T5 for future events of this nature.

    The T6 Breen Carrier is confirmed. The console from the other Breen ships shows it.

    Whilst it's nice that the Sar Theln is going to be T6, I really wish they'd have updated the other two in the process. :rolleyes:

    I re-read the OP's post, he wants a token to be used to get a T6 ship of choice. So it just comes down to he wants a free item instead of paying for it, or grinding for it.

    But then, that would require the JHAS and Voth Bulwark be upgraded because they were limited time exclusives from gambling with Cryptic, and the upgrading of the Risian Cruiser and Corvette for being a limited time summer event, and the free Dyson Destroyer, which would also require that they acknowledge the same upgrade for the Dyson Destroyer packs, which would demand acknowledgement of the other T5 bundle packs because they upgraded the Dyson packs.

    Which would be great for me as I own all but the JHAS and Risian ships.

    I think they should all get a full upgrade anyway. This new Intrepid has the special ship masonry trait of 'Science Vessel' - that exact same trait could easily be applied to the Vesta, and the Dyson Ships. A similar masonry trait titled 'Cruiser' could be applied to the Oddy and BortaS, another masonry trait titled 'Breen' could be added to the Breen ships etc etc

    Besides the fact, previous event ships have always been on par with fleet ships (right?) - well if they're following suit, then this T6 carrier would/should essentially fill the role of a T6 Fleet Ship (of which none yet exist).

    Great... I can't be the only one who is maxxed out on ships. The game doesn't allow me to buy any more slots and there are very few ships I am able to get rid of. Most of mine are loch box ships or event rewards that I would not be able to reclaim. I also have quite a few fleet ships and I'd have to repurchase those.

    Please, Cryptic, if you are going to continue adding ships to the game, REMOVE the ship cap. Allow me to continue GIVING you money to unlock more slots! :)

    They are done. Tacofangs confirmed this at the Club 47 livestream. He said now would be a good time to the players to brainstorm the next Summer Event and brainstorm the winter event in the summer.

    theres no way they will give you a free c-store ship, just be grateful it is T6 at all.
    up to this point I was 100% sure it would be at least another year before we got a T6 for free from one of the events, to get a free T6 ship at all even a non c-store one is more then I even dreamed we would get.

    that's before you factor in all the side benefits it brings, apart from the 3 part breen console set you will also get if you have all the previous ships you will also have the ship trait when you get it to lv5 starship mastery.

    and its the first T6 carrier in the game to boot.

    I think its just awesome, this years winter event is going to be the best ever.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

    Even if we didn't already have good information on what the winter reward would be, it is now far too late for this winter event.
    What happens this winter event is already decided, because all the design and development work needs to be done in time.
