    Hey, I can always use a new Admiralty ship - especially for my Fed Tac captain, as he mostly flew escorts on his way up so his lineup is a little thin on ENG and SCI.

    Ok first off thank you for the free stuff, But I really would have rather been able to do the "Contact Day" "Day of Honor" and "Republic Day" missions instead. Even though I welcome the extra admirality cards (because space poor) they seem like a zero-effort.

    Please oh please let this be a prelude for an unexpected T6 c-store release. :P

    ...Still seeing the Phoenix not the 'Borg Sovvie' (shorter than 'Assimilated Assault Cruiser').

    Admiralty cards are great, because they can do more giveaways that really help casual players out for very little effort on the dev's part. Considering the alternative of running the same mission every year for no rewards because you already got them last time, this is probably better for vets as well.

    I'd still like to do the FC Mission once in awhile though.
    It's fun to visit/see Utopia Planitia.

    A BORG Assimilated ENTERPRISE-E type ship card for the Admiralty System.

    BTW: I purposely didn't claim the Phoenix Card on one of my older toons till this card came out and just so ya know, it is available as an Account Claim for all your future toons once you get it the first time. (as are all the freebies so far)
    I know there was some question about this over the weekend because of the wording of the blog.

    Where'd the flavor text for the cards!?
  • equinox976equinox976 Member Posts: 2,305 Arc User
    Ahh cool. I would have liked something maybe a bit different to the last gift, but hey, it's better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper :)
  • thecoffinflythecoffinfly Member Posts: 203 Arc User
    It's not showing up in the promo tab for me. Its simply not showing up. Anyone else having the same problem?
  • pwlaughingtrendypwlaughingtrendy Member Posts: 2,966 Arc User
    I poked people. It's up now. You might have to log out and log back in.
  • daveynydaveyny Member Posts: 8,227 Arc User

    Sorted. Thank you.

    Could some clever person explain what "Neal Falconer does not count toward the player's Ground Warfare Specialist eqip limit when placed on active duty." means as my brain has been assimilated and it makes no sense to me.
  • daveynydaveyny Member Posts: 8,227 Arc User

    Supposedly, you can put the Warfare Specialist DOffs on to your DOff's "Active Duty List" and it doesn't count as one of the FIVE DOff LIMIT. (on each of the SPACE & GROUND categories)
    So you can have 6 (or more) Total DOffs at a time (per category), when using the Warfare Specialist DOff's.
    (I've never actually thought to try it though)

    Tried that and "It don't work captain". Limit says only 5

    So much for the "Specialist" Function then.

    It means you can have more than 1 (or more than 3) Ground Warfare Specialists if one of them is Falconer. More than 2 (or 4) if another is Ang the Vicious.

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    Oh... well, I guess I never really understood it either then.

    Both a T1 AND a T6 Admiralty Ship Card. Nice! :)
    Oh, and the purple Doff Borg was nice, too. :smiley:

    Thankee for the free stuff. I've already used the T1 ship on a couple of toons.

    Sounds like a T6 Sovereign is incoming

    Nice one - not too great, but still - account unlock - yay!

    Admirality cards are much better than the RD Boxes...
  • zorander6zorander6 Member Posts: 130 Arc User
    I'm sad I missed the first day but have gotten the other two. Thanks for the cards. :)
  • keletteskelettes Member Posts: 488 Arc User
    Many thanks for the freebies and again, happy First Contact Day :smile:
