    Thank you for the Thunderchild! Very nice Admiralty card there, ignoring Tac from events :).

    Woot, three ships I don't have. That's a highly appreciated gift pig-1.gif​​

    Thanks! Inventory slots are always welcome.

    would have been, by the time i finished patching, the offer was already over. instead of being happy, feels like quiting for missing out a what would have been a welcome offer, on the other side, got T3 ships that i have already bought.

    Are we sure that the ships today are the final giveaway? usually they would note that it is the final giveaway.

    Not sure - hey said 11th through 14th; 10 Pacific to 10 Pacific. It could be the last, there could be one more depending on whether they mean that it ends on the 14th or if the 14th is the last giveaway...
    11-12; Specialization Points
    12-13: Inventory Slots
    13-14: T3 Ships...
    If they follow previous patterns, then 14-15, if it's involved, might be a T4 or T5...

    2013 Summer had the Nebula Retrofit and Marauder FDC; 2014 Summer had the Ambassador Retrofit and Varanus; 2015 New Dawn had the Excelsior Retrofit, Marauder and Ar'Kif Carrier Warbird; and the 2016 Anniversary had the Ar'kala, Puyjaq and Sao Paulo... so there's a chance it might be a T4 or T5 if there's a giveaway on the 14th itself...

    I was about to say, the Anniversary giveaway gave away a ship for the last day. We've had giveaways when they gave away two sets of ships in the past (T2 and T5) so if they're feeling generous they could do it again. However, it's also possible it could be something like a ship upgrade token too, which I know would also be welcomed.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    I really appreciate the inventory slots 'cuz I was going to buy more of them. The T3 ships are great as well especially since I was planning on purchasing the Valdore to get the console. That means my little pile of Zen can be used to other things like drydock slots and some T6 starships.

    Holy sh*t it's a valdore. :o
    Isn't that one of the best selling rom ships thanks to it's console? And the thunderchild with it's point defense!
    What a great day. <3

    Now there is just one giveaway I'm expecting, a single giveaway, in the 8th of September, the classic enterprise for the 50th anniversary, available for all factions /nostalgia mode on.

    PS: Maybe Captain Kirk holographic bridge officer? or better yet, holographic enterprise crew and captain Kirk holo-disguise.

    It would be nice I suppose, but it will also likely be expensive as well. Cryptic will have pay the actors or their estate (for the deceased) to use their likeness in the game.

    Our final Season 11.5 giveaway is now live! Grab your free ships when you log in today!

    So I'd say we're done for this round of giveaways.

    Don't you just wish that they put as much information, the little things like that word 'final' and such, on the game's actual official news page as they do on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc...

    If it's like other ship giveaways, as long as you claimed them on some other alt of appropriate level and faction (and on the same account,) yes, you can, if you didn't, then no.

    So if I only claim one of each (on the correct toons) are these account unlocks like most store ships? Hoping so as I have a toon or more that currently cannot claim them. Got some lowbies I am working up.​​
    It looks like it's coded as a 100% discount on buying it in the store.

    OMG, this has been the best yet and the 11.5 updates are working out just fine for me, myself and I. Thank you all, please pass this on to EVERYONE at Cryptic Studios.
    Positive thoughts.

    I know sometimes if you have part of a pack you can no longer buy the pack. Does anyone know if I claim the Valdore, if that will lock me out from buying the Romulan pack later?

    To celebrate the coming release of Season 11.5, Star Trek Online will be giving out some great rewards. From 4/11/16 to 4/14/16 every 24 hours, we’ll be giving out a different item, so be sure to grab these up!

    You can find what the latest giveaway is here.

    ~Morrigan "LaughingTrendy"

    Thank you Trendy & the cryptic team for all of the free stuff over recent months.

    I was hoping to suggest an improvement however. When giveaways require your character to be a certain level to use, grateful if it could be put into a box in your inventory if your character is too low level or other unmet reqs. For instance, today's giveaway are tier 3 ships, but my character is still a Lt so I couldnt even access it. And presumably they wont be free by the time I reach Commander as its only a 24 hour giveaway. I understand that other items like Specialisation points are put in a box in the INV - why not ships too?

    Best,

    Man I love the ship giveaways. The consoles on them are pretty sweet.

    And the admiralty card on the Thunderchild is amazing.

    Free Tier 3 today? Hmmm

    I like it. Certainly I wish it were a higher tier, but I will take things for FREE. Thank you so much.

    Makes me want to roll 2 new toons so i can put those two through their paces :)

    Two out of three consoles are very useful. Klingon console is more aimed at PVP.

    Had the Thunderchild so total score today was 2 out of 3 for me.

    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.

    If you bought the Romulan Pack, which I did as a 0 Level Character the higher Level Ships were put in Inventory in Boxes that couldn't be opened until you reached the proper Level. Same for the Steam Starter Pack with the T5 Steamrunner, etc.

    Why they can't do this for normal purchases I just don't understand.

    This was a great set of giveaways. Spec points and inventory slots are always welcome, especially when I'm worrying about space on one or two toons. And now my toon that uses a T6 Escort Carrier has the full Heavy Escort set. It's also nice to have some more options for any future toons.

    TRIBBLE, just saw this announcement.

    Can someone summarize what I missed on the first two days (4/11 & 4/12)? Thanks.

    While I already have the Valdore from purchasing it awhile back, I am still delighted about the giveaway today. It is a very fine ship for a T3. The other two are not too shabby either. Here's hoping those who claim the Valdore have as much fun with it as I have enjoyed.

    Nice giveaway today. I didn't have the Klingon ship yet so that adds to my arsenal and gets me an extra admiralty card for my seriously neglected KDF Captains. :smile:​​
