Next give away item speculation

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
With season 11 a few days away another give away has graced us with its presence
http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9612213

With day 1 extra inventory space revealed, now is the time what YOU think will be the gift on days 2-5

Let's speculate folks.​​
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.

    I think one of them has to be a few ship slots. With admiralty coming, it makes sense they give people a few slots.

    But was very happy to see the inventory slots were not "once per account"
    Really needed the space on several toons !
    And that hoverboard ! So cool, great nod to B2TF2.

    Was very nice of them ! And I appreciate them greatly !

    I view pets as options and (hopefully) some DS9 related items (Bajoran rifles and pistols) considering that DS9 and the badlands are going to be featured big time.

    Other options are some lower tier science ships and/or cruisers due to the exploration angle.​​

    They might give out the current C-store Mirror costume even though it is outmoded by the new Mirror "look".

    I'd guess the mirror uniforms or the DS9 uniform might be included? Both relevant here with the focus on the Cardassian revamp.

    Usual giveaway tactic seems to be uniforms and smaller pet/services, small c-store items really.
    Maybe a ship for the last day but not really sure what kinda would be appropriate?

      Well, the last give-away started big (2 spec tokens, claimable for each character), the latter were weaker. BOFF slots for one character and the Delta Flyer or something like that I already owned.

      Maybe two bonus skill point box for one character? (talk about drop in the bucket). ;)

      Maybe a costume? I think I have all costumes other than Flight Suit (not interested) and the Romulan Tal'Shiar one (might be nice).

      Something unexpected: How about a Veteran Bridge Officer? But that might be taken by some as broken promises. (The veteran BOs were rewards for the F2P testing phase, IIRC.)

      Ya know a costume would be nice. I don't have any of the mirror universe sets yet.​​

      I'm hoping for a skill point respec. (One for each character.) If I had to venture a guess, the last day's giveaway will be a Klingon and fed T3/4 ship. (That way, Romulans can get something that day too, without having to give away any of their ships.)

      I'm guessing there will be some ship slots and bank slots to accommodate how the new dry dock feature will be working what with everything being taken off dry docked ships.

      I could see a veteran Boff as a one-per account thing, and account bound of course.

      Yes that would be nice to have your little cube or sphere. Nice.

      I cannot see them giving ship slots as they will be giving us drydock slots shortly anyway so this will alleviate the need for extra ship slots to a great extent.

      also i cant see why bank slots would be an issue, presumably the only reason you put a ship in drydock I would think would be to make room for another ship, surely that ship would likely take weapons consoles ect from either the ship you put in dry dock or stuff in your bank freeing up spaces anyway.
      I think its highly unlikely that you would just bank this gear only to have to get new gear from other places like the exchange and such to kit out the ship you have made room for.

      I think from here on the giveaways will be uniform & ships, having said that anything they give will be gratefully excepted.

      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.

      Hopefully it'll be of the non-bugged persuasion if so. As it is, I'm already completely locked out of 2 of my current outfits on account of them being totally bugged, and have been for ages.

      I'm horrible at speculation...but some extra doff capacity give away would be nice.

      Little? Nah, it has to be at least double the regular size.​​

      According to the main thread, the Germans just got the news first, and it's 1 Gamma DOFF pack, character-bound.

      True.

      Also often cheap or low selling items. In the latter category i'm sure they'll give away the scimitar.
      As hideous as that ship is, i cannot imagine anyone who would want to purchase it.​​

      Considering that one can no longer buy one in the C-store, that's a pretty good item.

      There was one giveaway that they did a ship from each faction one time, which for the Romulans was the C-store version of the Dhelan at tier 2.

      They do not giveaway big things like that. It's usually C-store items that don't sell well enough or are no longer easier to get (like the Tier 5 Ambassador from the 3rd anniversary).
