Starting this Thursday at 9AM PST, we’ll be featuring a promotion that will provide an extra bonus when opening a Research and Development Pack. When Captains purchase a Research and Development Pack from the C-store and open it, they will receive either 10 Lobi Crystals or their choice of an Elachi Sheshar Dreadnought Cruiser with Intelligence or Command seating, in addition to the Research and Development Pack.
Learn more details about the promotion as well as the Elachi Sheshar here.~LaughingTrendy

Just asking for some consistency...
Unless the Zombie Apocalypse (finally) happens, everyone has a 100% chance of getting the event ships. Let's just say the odds are a bit lower for those promo ships. Not agreeing with the exclusive stuff, but your reasoning was lacking, and since we are on a internet forum, I felt compelled to point that out !
Lol, touche.
That apocalypse, though, should be coming real soon...
Your premises are correct, your conclusion is not. It is definitely a lottery, because of how unlikely the player is to get the ship.
It's just as much a lottery as with the other lockboxes.
You only have a chance for the ship if you buy a fresh R&D pack, old packs aren't "updated" and you still only have a (very small) chance of getting the ship from a R&D pack.

Oh, and it's so nice you brought this ship back, but DON'T bring back the old Summer/Winter ships so players, who missed previous event ships,could their hands on the Breen Raider so they can unlock the Frigate Hanger Pets for their Dreadnought or Carrier! THANKS SOOOO MUCH!
And don't give me that "make the ship feel special and unique to the players that got it" BS! If that were true, there should only be ONE Annorax in the whole game!
Have a nice Christmas.
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy
Batman says NOPE to this promotion. Waste of time, dil and/or money.
They will not induce me to buy any R&D packs, especially when I don't have a full complement of R&D specialists to take better advantage of crafting.
Sell me a DOFF promo pack that has R&D specialists and lobi in it and then we can talk. Put a Temporal ship or a Q ship in there and I'm definitely interested.
Yes, it's definately an ugly ship. Now, if a promo pack came with Gumarre, and/or maybe some ultra rare or epic crafting doffs, that might interest me. As it stands now, doing the Academy doff mission for R&D help, the odds of getting Gumarre are slim and none.
I'll take two please.

So once again...
She sells Sheshars in the C-Store
...via R&D Packs.
:P :P :P
ARC is a multi-game launcher. It doesn't need nor has any use for money.

Good luck to the Captains trying to get it, though. They'll need it.
Or maybe just the truth. "We couldn't figure out why the older event reward ships and/or the discounts weren't unlocking on all characters, so we stopped trying and scrapped them."
