    I doubt that if new C-Store uniforms/Bridges were ever done, it wouldn't be for free.

    I'm still hoping for a promo account unlock of the Kamarag Retrofit like they did with the Ambassador Retrofit. May only be T5, but that was my ship for a LONG time KDF side.

    I have not purchased everything there is is buy so I'm always being given things that I did not have. Every giveaway provides something that I either wanted or could use even if I had not thought about buying it. I have never needed to buy a ship for my KDF character because of the freebies. Same old stuff to some will possibly be new to me. Peace.

    I'm also hoping for a T3 of T4 Fed ship, as my roster of available ships does have a pretty big tier hole. B)

    Free ships now adays means more than they use to. We have the admirality minigame to thank for that, witch TBH I personally like because it has helped me get my spec points built up.

    Whats a come'in

    If cryptic follows suit to what they have done in the past this is what is going to happen. We will get a stripped down verson of a T6 Krenim time-ship with a rare console and without a trait that (eventually) is going to sale in the lobi store for 600 lobi (give or take a few). For now though it will be obtainable by playing Q's aniversary mini games. Then, We will be given the option to Purchase a 3 pack of T6 Krenim time-ships ALL with rare consoles and ALL with very good Mastery Level 5 traits (oh, and each ship's trait is diffrent btw). Whats even better is that this New 3 pack of ships come with a 4 piece console set. Wut? Yeah, the free aniversary ship that you can get has the 4th piece. So if you want the complete set you need to purchase the 3 pack and grind the aniversary ship. On cryptics behalf thought, the 4 piece set is normally OP, I mean really OP.

    As for the same old stuff. I see only new stuff but thats just me.

    Then it wouldn't be a T6 ship. ALL T6 ships have traits, other than FLEET STORE versions. The Samsar has a trait, even if it is a passive. And most T6 Lobi sell for 900 I think. And I believe that the current theory is that the Krenim ship means we're getting faction specific C-Store versions later on like how the Samsar lead to the Command Cruisers.

    How is it the OP is saying we're getting the same old stuff, when what's being given away has not been announced yet? Is he psychic? Does he have inside knowledge? Or perhaps, it's...

    Last year they gave out bank and ship slots plus some Spec points. Those are not bad at all. I dont need any specs but some might still want them for some other alternate. Bank/Ship slots are always good to have. Anything free is cool.​​

    Didn't know every day was Thursday..

    Anyway it's always nice to get free stuff and hoping the give away stuff is not on my list of previous purchases :pensive:

    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.

    Need some cheese to go with that whine?

    Only a couple times something was giving away I didn't really care for. But for the most part it was a very welcome event. Even last event, I got a lot of stuff. Several helped all my characters as you could claim it on all of them.

    It'd be really great if they'd give you a few periods, question marks, and capital letters.

    Yeah pretty much every giveaway there are some things I already have, last time I only had one of the items, time before that I have several. It's all good.

    It will be always a hit or miss on their gifts. Still I'm glad to see the event. At least they are doing something for the players.

    You do know that there will NEVER be a three pack of Krenim Ships in the C-Store. It is not a Faction Ship, so no-go there.

    We will get a full T6 Krenim Science Vessel and either, a bit later, a T6 cross-faction 10 Console Faction Science Ship Bundle or a Nine-Ship 11 Console Cross-faction Flagship. I could be wrong about the latter, it could be a Nine-Ship 11 Console Science Ship Cross-faction Science Ship Bundles (T6 Vesta Pack with variants for Romulans and KDF). I am not wrong about the Krenim Science Vessel, however.

    As for the same old stuff. I see only new stuff but thats just me.

    They said Krenim Science ship...not Science Dreadnought...so it's a safe bet that this will be a original ship.

    Being free and Science, it's likely going to be a traditional Science ship...6 weapons, small, and average turn. (I don't think I see them doing something like the Science Destroyer again, but I could be wrong)

    If/when we get a 3 pack connected to it, it will be faction based, like the command cruisers.

    The ship probably wont have anything to really do with time, just like the Krenim Destroyer.

    Back to the OP, who cares? They don't have to give us a thing...they don't have to give us a free and valid ship...in the last year they have been more generous then ever with the free stuff...especially free spec points and inventory slots for all characters.

    Yes, sometimes they give away things that people already have...it's still really generous of them to give them away...and new people don't have them...that extra ship that you have will be very helpful for new players in admiralty.

    I was going to say "It must be a day ending in "y". :p

    Anyways, there's no reason to believe the new ship is Annorax class. But there's also no reason not to believe it's T6.
