    I'm hoping they stick to the ALT-friendliness and have it so that if you already have the ship it only takes 40 photos for the rest of the account like with the summer event...

    Smirk already said that and you would still be able to get the older Breen ships.

    Some people have already stated that if the Sarr looks like it did in the promo pictures they just won't get it, harump. So you don't get a 'free' T6 ship with another Starship Mastery because it is differently ugly than the other ugly Breen ships. Okay, I get it.

    I do not know what other will do (and I'm not sure I want to know), but personally I will work to get all Breen ships for all my toons.
    And ... well Romulans will get acces to cheap (relative but still) Carrier at least :D

    Edit:

    But I Wonder - if the trend will continue and next summer will we get a new Risian Ship?
    If so, then something like Ferengi D'Kora with internal acces to Exchange, Bank and Security Officer would be great :cool:

    Why what a clever little humanoid you turned out to be.

    I shall have to do something about that....

    Eeeep... ;)
    Ornaments are indeed what you will require, but speaking of that handsome Smirk, perhaps if you want to know more you should plan to view his Winter Wonderland Livestream tomorrow at 6PM PDT.

    I'll place a link here for you to make it simple. Don't want to exhaust those investigative skills of yours, now do we?

    Might actually be able to make this one...we'll see!
    Innocently yours,

    And why would you have to grind it out on fifteen characters? One unlocks and the other fourteen do it for one race each.

    Well one, that's still 20+ runs plus another 15+ just to get the ships. I'm not complaining about that though, I like the new system. I was just meaning that if the warp core doesn't come with the ship then the ships is less appealing to me as I want that core to go with it and given that a lot of the prices to buy winter event items are not 'alt friendly' I would not be grinding Winter Event content just to get a warp core for the ship. :)
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
    True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!

    They were made available in the Reclaim Tab of the Special (formerly Dilithium Store). I don't see why it wouldn't work like that here as well.

    Technically, we still don't know if it's gonna be 1000 Q-pics on first char and 40 on alts. All we know is it will work in a "similar" way to the other breen and risian ships. It could sadly end up being way pricier.

    The Chel Grett is beautiful. The currently in-game Sarr Theln is magnificent. I'll give you the Plesh Brek being weird.

    Now sadly they're officialy ruining the great Sarr Theln, aka the ship I've been waiting for for years.

    EDIT: To be more concrete about the breen ships, they always had a main axis, typically their deflector that's in the center. The long hull of the Sarr Theln is at its centerline, the main body of the chel Grett, while assymetrical, still sits at the centerline of the ship, even the engines are placed symmetrically. For the Plesh Brekk, the lower 'wing' is the obvious centerpiece with the other two wings still protruding at the same angle. But the aparent facelifted Sarr Theln (umm, it's a rebuild, not a facelift) here has the main body on it's side, I don't even dare guess where it's centerline and deflector is. It simply doesn't fit with previous Breen vessels, with their previous design.


    I'll probably still get it anyway, as it's a free (acceptable, almost pleasant grind, if it's 1000/40 Q-pics) Tier 6 ship. But once more, I'm disappointed by Cryptic/PWE. (For a bunch of pixels where anything's basically possible, it's sad to see how my wishes tend to stray so far from the devs'. Further away with each new patch.)

    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    I guess to some folks, asymmetrical and alien = ugly :rolleyes: Narrow minded view IMHO, but it's an opinion nevertheless and folks are entitled to it.

    Still, am disappointed with the redesign :( I say again, it looks like an overweight Chel Grett or one of those kitbashed Breen ships you'd see in a 3rd party mod for Star Trek: Armada or something. I'm still going to get the ship myself, but I'm still hoping we'll at least have an alternate hull option that'll allow us to use the original design.

    Sarr Theln did need a bit of a facelift, but NOT a complete redesign.

    Entirely agree, see my edit above.

    Breen ships used to have a certain assymetrical symetry to them. The rebuilt Sarr is an overdesigned Chel Grett with more wings, more protrusions,...

    We were saying that last year when he was put in the Gingerbread Colony queue.

    See.... the Gingerbread PvE is just a reskinned version of the "Colony Invasion" Queue. The "Bumble" replaces the Mugato in the event.:D

    I did notice last year but didn't see anyone mention it but I am curious is it the people my age (50ish) that noticed it or is it our younger participants that notice too. I just thought it was curious that they did that last year. Plus it reminds me when I was little sitting in front of the TV (with only 3 broadcast channels) and watching it

    Ahem... As I have just seen the redone Ski lodge i have one thought in my head. and I have to let it out.

    ...
    I want my Ship (A Parody of "Let It Go")
    Performed by: Hibiki.


    Snow globes smash against the terror tonight,
    Not a tribble to be seen.
    A kingdom of icy fights
    Oh look a Snowborg Queen.

    The wind is howling like the snowman lord's cry~!
    No resistance to the cold, heaven knows I tried...

    I can't resist those shiny ships
    Little trinkets for my hundred of extra toons!
    No Lobi's left to turn or trade~!
    Oy VEY~!!!!!!!!

    I want my ship!
    I want my ship!

    Running through the obstacle race.
    Zipping past, a confused arachnid,
    and a ship addicted space case~!
    It's really a shame, that it takes too lo-oong~!
    Let the snowmen march on~!
    The grind really bothers me in every way.

    It's funny thinking how cool this ship seems to be,
    But moment you get in it, it just like everything.
    It's time to eat a hundred pies,
    Should throw up soon before I die.
    Fight with gingerbread men,
    Beside me~!

    I want my ship!
    I want my ship!

    I have won twenty of eppoh tags~!
    I want my ship, I want my ship!
    So much money I'll soon be in rags!
    I don't care, that I gotta brave the nip!
    Let the snowmen march on~!
    The grind really bothers me in every way.

    It will be nice to have a science vessel, rather obvious though since the last two have been a cruiser and escort. Carrier huh, they'll be interesting.

    ...Darn it all I am going to have to use lobis as I can't be here for every day of the event.

    Well, that could work a bit better, maybe. But I doubt it. Why would they put it on its side in the ornament?


    Still weeping for the true Sarr Theln. :(

    A new species Q created. Just calling it a typo would be too simple.
    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.
