    Yay, free stuff, let me get on my KDF.... oh wait

    We do appreciate free stuff, however its still not cool that Roms and KDF can't get anything. I believe we brought this up last time you gave this same costume away. What would of been awesome was unlock it so other factions can wear the costume during the giveaway.

    Good Idea tnen when the giveaway end's we can all run around in our underware lol

    This one was in the last giveaway, too. What are you trying to tell us, Cryptic?

    <.<

    *sighs* Okay, I'll join Section 31... just call off the assassins, will you?

    Pretty sure it was given away during a livestream at once point as well. They really want us to join the morally grey side, don't they?

    Here's 'morally grey' for you: I dress my Captain & First Officer in the black Section 31 uniform, with blue gloves, then fly around the galaxy with hunting River Tam.

    Even if this event is only 3 days long, its still a nice treat. They say "up to the weekend" but does that include giveaways on saturday and sunday also? I doubt it but itd be nice.

    I wonder if we'll get a T5 ship this time?

    Personally, my dream scenario would be:

    Day 2: Exeter + kdf/rom equivalents.

    Day 3: T5 Intrepid, Defiant or Gal with KDF/Rom equivalents.

    If they give away T6 ship(s) Id be overjoyed but shocked. If they did though, my guess would be Dauntless, Matha and Aehl.

    I would definately love the Exeter, too. I highly doubt they'd do T5 ships, that would be folly financially.

    They did give away a T5 Nebula retrofit once.
    So there's the "spectrum" right there.
    Something between T2 and T5 - I'm after the Exeter too, btw :smile:

    But if we do get something from the T6 caliber... well... that'd be a real surprise. :smiley:

    They've given out T5 ships twice, both times when T5 was actually the top tier (well, FT5 was, but still). They've been giving out slightly less each time they do these giveaways though so don't get your hopes up. Even lower tier ships can be cool though, some of them have nice consoles and there's the upcoming admiralty system which they might be nice for.

    Yeah, they HAVE given away T5, but not T6. :p

    Well, I didn't know that. I left before season 2 and came back in 9.5. But, given their recent cash-grab mentality, I would be extraordinarily surprised to see a T5 giveaway.

    T6 giveaway? Good luck with that one. My imagination was running wild thinking of a T5 ship being offerred

    I'd be astonished as well tbh, but it never hurts to be optimistic.

    The Samsar and the Nandi were both T6s, and they were basically given away.

    tbh this is one of the things that I do appreciate a lot! it doesn't take away frustrations about different issues such as lag( I know it's being worked on).

    But this is just great! I don't really focus that much on how my toons look but now and than it's fun to add in a bit of atmosphere to your ship and crew. Fleet Intell Phantom with S31 Uniforms for the crew just awesome!

    T5 ship on giveaway - well it could happen, there was one giveaway, which had T5 Ambassador and the KDF Varanus (also T5)... so we can hope :) .
    Whatever we will get (if there will be ship anyway - it's not sure - there is nowhere stated that the giveaway must have a ship), i hope it will be something interesting, and it will be new for me...

    I wonder if they'll give away a ship interior with something that no other ship interior has? Bathrooms! Sonic bidets!

    To the best of my knowledge, the Section 31 costume hasn't been part of a "C-store giveaway", because I've partaken of every one that I'm aware of and I just now am getting this costume...

    So it must have been a livestream thing. Of course, sadly, I don't do the livestream thing, so that would explain why I don't have it yet...

    Your knowledge is faulty.

    Yeah, if you want to betray the Empire and dishonor yourself by spying you should be able to wear the Section 31 Uniform with pride regardless of your stated affiliation!

    Sorry, couldn't resist. I know your pain, but the Klingons and Romulans just don't have as many paid costume options as the Federation (actually they don't have as many costume options period), so if they're going to give away a costume from the Zen store 99.99999999999999999999% of the time it's going to be Federation. Sucks, but that's just how it is.

    Two specialization points...

    Oh well, at least there won't be many complaints of "Why did you favor faction X over factions Y and Z, Cryptic?!"... :neutral:

    Edit: Nice, looks like it's account-wide. Here's hoping the rest of my roster can pick theirs up later... :grin:

    Re-edit: On the other hand, the blog warns us to be careful which character to claim it on. I sense a communications breakdown somewhere in California...

    I'll never get over the fact that people can complain about a FREE GIVEAWAY.

    "They should have offered this."

    "It's not for my faction."

    "I already have that."

    "Why do't they do this at a time convenient to ME?" (Forget the other thousands of us who might be intersted)

    "Why can't is be a T6 ship with Mk TRIBBLE cannons that shoot rainbows and unicorns?"

    And my personal favorite: "Why are they wasting time with this instead of fixing (insert bug here)?"

    I swear, the sense of entitlement in people is out of hand. Play the game or don't. You obviously need to watch Star Trek more if greed is your only motivating factor in life.

    I mean, we all grump a little from time to time, and the game and developer have some flaws, but this is a pretty well-maintained game in the grand scheme of things. I've played much worse.
    Nothing breaks the tension better than a tankard of warnog - except maybe a good brawl...

    Yeah, they HAVE given away T5, but not T6. :p

    I could see them giving away a T6 that doesn't sell well and is fleetable. I did that with the Nebula giveaway and it was $5 to Cryptic that they probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

    I am having a problem with the Specialization points , it is telling me that I need to Respec now because my skills are invalid , yet they were not invalid just a few days ago when I earned my last Specilization point and I have not Respeced my character in quite some time. Hmmmmmm
