It wasn't, it's from all these people whining that there's no "exploration" in the game, but they want people to do their work and find stuff for them and then hand it to them on a silver platter...

I hope you play with your HUD turned off and your keybinds set to randomly rotate what they do so you can "explore" your UI.
This is my Risian Corvette. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
You get the rewards by:
1) Go in-game
2) Click on the C-Store icon
3) Navigate to the "Promotions" tab
4) Select...
And if I have to come over there and hold your hands while you do it, I'm gonna charge you the cost of the airline ticket and rental car.

You should expect enough money to retire rich with that offer.

And I am a new player here, but I have respect for the people who have played since the game had a required game disk. If your giving away veteran rewards that the greats of the game had, make the hard to reach. Everyone should have the ability to get them, but the HOW is the real deal. I want that little balloon gun thing, but I want to EARN it doing something great, because I should have to prove myself to be on the same level as the veterans to earn it.
I guess there are few games left with any honor on MMO's.
Support the movement! Come stand with us in supporting Star Trek: The Animated Series content for STO! (It's canon!) #TASforSTO
Time travel and glass-cannon ships hurt my head and is NOT what Trek is about. Trek is exploration, becoming better as a species, and gaining scientific knowledge while holding on to the traditions that got us where were are. Get the Forums Enhancement Extension!
The badges and titles come together through 1 claim in. They are single character unlocks which means you need to open the c-store, go the the promotions tab, and claim them on each character. This could mean once the promotion ends you won't be able to get them for characters you forgot or characters you create afterwards.
Side note: for KDF females the badges are only available when the upper category is set to 'Bare Chest'. The badges are available for most jackets in the loose category for males though.
Edit: There is the promotion for the emote that unlocks for your account and can only be claimed once. Then there is the promotion to claim the badges and titles together but even after claiming it you can keep claiming it. Then there is the title reclaim that doesn't come with the badges and it too still shows as available and can be claimed over and over.
Laughing Trendy wasnt around when the drama that caused the emote and badge to be created. Well hardly anyone at Cryptic now a days was.
No wonder they take something that meant something back then and turn it into a free for all.
It doesnt make sense now. Its just a cheap attempt at removing anything that was sacred or special. The forums blew up. There was miss communication. We got Shaka, when the walls fell. Now... its like they just saw it in game and said "Why not give it to everyone to try to get people to come in to boost our monthly logins so we look good."
Not that many people play that remember the Cryptic shenanigans back then anyways. Its just a cheap trick they are doing. And a good attempt and ruining any sort of community cohesion that we could have had.
But... whatever... its Cryptic and STO and its about as popular and fun as having to clean poo off your windshield.
Still sad about it.. (not that they are for both sides, but that they are giving the medal away).
The badge doesnt work for Romulans or Remans. Never has. Works on KDF Males and only on the bare chested KDF female outfits. Never expected them to get them to work because the rewards were so obscure. And actually meant something because it was all the forum drama back then and miss communication.
Now we are given it because the walls of sector space fell.. Which has nothing to do with that episode of TNG or the titles. Its just a cheap grab at getting people to log in to get something.
I've had this badge and emote since...it was first given out like five years ago or whatever.
I never thought it was such a big deal. In fact, I never ever wore the badge, for very long, if ever I did wear it at all on my long lost original FED chartoons.
Now, with the sector walls coming down, it makes a lot more sense being in STO, now, at this time, rather than in the past when it was nothing more than a foothold on to the IP.
Thank you for the little things, like this, Cryptic. The small gestures mean the most in the long run. In my opinion that is.
People who feel the new people didn't "earn" these. They did.
We got those with Season 1 because of some TRIBBLE ups. With the banks losing items and all the other bugs in Season 10, new players earned it the same way we did back then. lol

Lifetime no longer gives a forum title. That should be updated on the Lifetime page that mentions what you get. PMing the CSR doesn't work neither.

Are all your possessions unique one-off items as well? 'Cause if you have anything mass produced that other people would have you obviously don't value them. Why, I bet you have some green slips of paper that everyone has. I'll take them off your hands for free.

I, for one, am not offended by Cryptic releasing these badges for everyone dispite these specific items being moderately special to those few who have been around since season 1.
I would like to take a brief moment to Thank Cryptic for giving the players a little something to celebrate their 10th season and the expansion of sector space.
Thank you, Cryptic.:)
(Now get back to bug squashing! LOL, couldn't resist, sorry:P)
I was not there during the initial handing out of the tamarian stuff but with a three-day running maintenance caused by the bugs in the revamp and the possibility of a cyber-attack against the game throwing many players from the server(s) I think some recompense is in order. Why not the tamarian stuff people feel the original players should keep?
Season 10: The Iconian War is right around the corner! Were celebrating bringing down Sector Walls with our new Shaka, When the Walls Fell promotion.
