Cryptic said, "From January 26th to February 1st we’re hosting new giveaways each day! "

It is now 31 January, 1020 PST, and there is no new giveaway for today. The ships are still in effect from Saturday through Monday.

I appreciate the free offerings. That said, it would be better if you would pick one idea and stick with it. If you are doing daily giveaways--then please do daily giveaways. If you do not want to do daily giveaways & instead make them for 48 hours, etc--then please be clear about it.

    Givaways this year were a cop out, all consumable stuff except for some lowbie ships? Remember the year we got shuttles, tier 2 ships, and tier 5 ships for each faction? Yeah, not impressed cryptic.

    How is 2 spec points per character consumables? Costumes are not consumables either. Might want to do some fact checking before you decide to make stupid posts.

    go go white knight!


    anyways OP is right there is supposed to be a giveaway according to the forum news post today

    It seems like today is the same as yesterday, if you look at the dates on the give away page"From the 30th to the 1st"

    I've never seen *any* of the giveaways (and I checked regularly); and most certainly no free Spec Points. :(

    Yes, and still it contradicts itself in that very page and says "Every day we’ll be giving away new C-Store items" plus "Every 24 hours, we’ll be giving out a different item (or even multiple)" , it also says on this page:

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9752713-star-trek-online:-anniversary-event

    "Looking to celebrate the Anniversary Event early? So are we! From January 26th to February 1st we’re hosting new giveaways each day! Be sure to check back here to find out the latest free unlocks."

    Just stating that anyways, happy with what i got.

    Then you seem to ignore the promotions tab because spec points was like the first thing they gave out.

    First day of the giveaway was 2 spec points per character, you can go check the tread yourself.

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1210748/anniversary-giveaway/p1

    First comment there from daveyny lists every giveaway item, and spec points have been a part of the last 3 giveaway events. Only consumable item in this giveaway was a 20k fleet dil voucher.

    Oh and by the way, if actually pointing out the truth about things when people make trolling bs posts is being a white knight, then go saddle up my gorram horse.


    And where are you supposed to claim those then?! I checked every C-Store tab.

    There is an actual thread on the Anniversary Giveaway...

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1210748/anniversary-giveaway

    ...where the same subject is being covered. Sure the phrasing is contradictory (here; the Facebook post was not), but it's really only worthy of [Yellow Alert] and a correction to the News article. [Red Alert] and another thread seems a tad excessive...

    You could claim the items only within the first 24 hr of the announcement then it was gone. Exception being t4 ships

    No, I'm pretty sure I checked that tab. :) It's not like I really need spec points (what I need is the promised Dilithium, for when you maxed everything out); but would have been handy for next Spec tree. Oh well.

    Well the Bandits of Japori or whatever Geko might have called them made sure there would be 'No dilitium for you!! Next!!

    They were there in the Promotions Tab for the day they were active. The News Blog on the Cryptic Site was updated each day to indicate what the free stuff was for that day.

    I created this thread specifically to address TODAY, not to discuss the giveaways as a whole. Moreover, I do not like having this thread hijacked by people who should be posting in the other thread about their dislike for what is/isn't offered.

    This isn't excessive. This is a singular thread with a singular intent; to get Cryptic to adhere to what it says it is doing. The discontinuity between word/deed and word here/word there--is troubling at best. I personally do not care what Cryptic decides to do, but I would prefer them to adhere to that which they say they are doing. That's integrity.

    To claim our T4 Ships ( Ar’kala Tactical Warbird / Puyjaq Class / Sao Paulo Tactical Escort Refit ):

    1. Log into the game on a character between 10AM PST on Saturday January 30 and 10AM PST on Monday February 1.
    2. Visit the in-game C-Store via the button on the minimap
    3. Navigate to the ‘Ships’ tab on the left
    4. Scroll down to and click on the ‘Ar’kala Tactical Warbird / Puyjaq Class / Sao Paulo Tactical Escort Refit” item
    5. Click the “Claim” button towards the bottom-right of the interface

    and what part would that be?

    the first 3 days the items were in the promotion tabs, the uniform from day 4 were in the appearance tab and if you still want the ships open the c-store click the ship tab and select tier 4 at the top to find them easier.

    you will need a character from each of the 3 factions to claim all 3 ships.

    that's just down right nasty, theres absolutely no call to be like that on this forum whatsoever.

    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.
