Read the anniversary posts. It's going to be a Defensive oriented Kobali/alliance Cruiser. No stats specified but Id assume Com Engi-Lt com universal (hoping) Lt engi, Ensign Sci or Tact
What it looks like and everything else well have to wait on...Probably a T5 upgradeable to get us to spend cash or it might just be a T6. I'm excited anyway I could use a new cruiser.

Both Risian ships are free to upgrade to T5-U.
Two of the Been ships are free to upgrade to T5-U.
One, the new one, is T6.
The Dyson Science Destroyer is free to upgrade to T5-U.
A new grind ship that's T5 is dead in the water. If it doesn't have a free T5-U upgrade it's dead in the water and floating in a practice range.
This is my Risian Corvette. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Cryptic: This anniversary's free ship is the Yadda-yadda.
Player: I don't want that free ship.
Cryptic: Okay.
Player: What do you mean okay? Are you going to change it?
Cryptic: No, we're not going to change it.
Player: Then what was the okay for?
Cryptic: We understand that you don't want the free ship.
Player: No, I don't want it. I want Blah-blah instead.
Cryptic: Okay.
Player: What do you mean okay? I can get the other ship?
Cryptic: No, you cannot get the other ship.
Player: Then what was the okay for?
Cryptic: We understand that you want the other ship.
Player: Yes, I want that. I don't want Yadda-yadda.
Cryptic: Okay.
Player: What do you mean okay? Are you going to change it?
Cryptic: No, we're not going to change it. No, you cannot get the other ship. We understand that you do not want Yadda-yadda. We understand you want Blah-blah instead.
Player: Damn straight I want Blah-blah and not Yadda-yadda.
Cryptic: Okay.
Player: Wait...what?
It's nice getting free stuff. I'm hoping this will work as an account discount for getting across all your toons.
One already has enough tokens for it. so fingers crossed this isn't going to be a massive grind. Well, need to find out more details about the ship first to see if it is worth going for.
If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.
did anyone else notice the Antiproton Torp and the Trilithium Torp?
Why need an antiproton torpedo, when antiproton mag regulator benefit chroniton? It's the only energy/torpedo combination that can be affected by just one console!
Wow, you guys find out the ship is Kobali and suddenly it's pretty much all hate.
I'm waiting to see WHAT we have in design and stats before I judge the ship as well as the back story behind it.
Also, seriously...posting something that will get you banned from the forums people? There is a special place in Gre'thor for you.
EDIT: I also put as much faith in anything being accurate as me having warm, alligator-filled swampland on a planet orbiting a Black Hole in the Andromeda Galaxy to my name.
I STILL don't understand why the Kobali at all? They were in just ONE episode Voyager, it wasn't a very good one and there were much more interesting species! How about having kept the Dauntless in reserve, having a Species 116 storyline and since it's not a Starfleet vessel, any faction could have used it!
Or, a Vidian storyline...they're trying to **** your organs and you could have one of their weapons and even one of their ships.
Instead of more and more ships, that we'll get and then never use again, how about a fantastic universal console, to use on our current and favourite ship? Maybe a ship that comes with that console, but it's removable.
I've got about 20 ships...I only use one and I've just got no motivation to get another anymore...think outside the box Cryptic, because it's the only way you're going to get our money!
To be honest, for some players it won't be so much a free ship as a free ship-trait.
Dude, you are like one of the few voices of reason on these forums.
And I like the Nova class a lot. The R.I. version even better. My main is a ROM though, and I did make an evil cat toon on the KDF side that is at lvl 43 right now, so I do hope for ships, for both of those factions. The FEDs side is ok...I just fell in love with the girl next door.

Why NOT the Kobali? The Voth and Vaadwuar were aliens-of-the-week, too. That doesn't mean anything here.
And real Starfleet ship or no, the Fed fanboys would've raised a holy storm if the Dauntless was made cross-faction. :rolleyes:

As if AP needed to be anymore overpowered...
Plasma consoles should affect both energy and projectiles then too since there are actual plasma energy weapons and plasma projectiles though oddly enough plasma doping doesn't work with actual plasma weapons.

I suspect they'll (attempt to) introduce the same system as the winter/summer ships where you collect the full thousand thingies on one character and only need 40 to claim on others.

That totally reminded of numerous conversations with my wife.
"I'm not big on telepaths myself. I'm not big on guns either. But if everyone else has them, I want to make sure I can get my hands on the biggest one I can."

Soooo.. are you saying cryptic and the players are all lovey dovey over each other or in serious need of marital counselling.
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.
Cryptic: We're giving you a free ship.
Player: Great. Where is it?
Cryptic: Oh. Well, you have to earn it. Or, as you people say...um, "grind" I believe. Should take a few weeks.
Player: ....ah, I see.
Cryptic: And it'll be gimped once you finally get it.
Player: ...wait, free? Do you know what free means?
Cryptic: If you don't want it, that's ok. There are plenty of fanboys who will accept anything we throw at them. Just look at this thread.

Free is "I pay and do nothing, but log in and it shows up in my inventory". Period.
So the ship isn't free, it's one I must earn by spending time. Since it's it's a ship I have no desire for, it's one I'll spend no time on. They can keep their 'free' ship.
Between the recent PvE queue nerfing, DR itself and now this- I'd getting quite disgusted. The changes to BOFF training have been the only bright element in a horrible last 6 months.

By that logic then it still wouldn't be free because you had to spend time logging into the game.

Ideally I'd already be logging into the game already to do the stuff I wanted to do completely unrelated to this 'free' ship.
For example, after logging into games I haven't played for months (but have lifetime memberships for- LotRO and The Secret World), I have a ton of truly free items in my inventory from events that happened while I was gone.

Transparent aluminum "mirrors" to reflect incoming energy fire back at the enemy?
The ability to "slingshot" around a system in sector space and end up at any destination system in the known galaxy?
Ok, it'll likely be a ship.
I LOL'D best summation so far.

EVERYONE has the right to do as they will.
Live your life, in peace, and Hey! Teacher! Leave Them Kids Alone.

Plasma consoles should affect both energy and projectiles then too since there are actual plasma energy weapons and plasma projectiles though oddly enough plasma doping doesn't work with actual plasma weapons.
Nope
"EVERYONE has the Choice to do as they will."
But making the choice to play in traffic, has consequences.

Free Beer is only free if someone mails it you at home? Or is opening the door still too much?
