    Many Thanks Cryptic.

    I had been eyeing this bundle for my T6 Connie.

    I too already own this bundle, but am happy for the people getting it. I can't think of a more fitting giveaway for this event. I personally love the ship interior, enjoy!

    Well...

    Color me surprised.

    I guess Cryptic did have plans for Star Trek's 50th.

    Very Cool!

    Thank you, Cyptic. :)

    Just posting to say thanks to you guys for the giveaway.

    I know we've all been bitching for hours about today but i'll admit we were wrong and that I'm grateful for the giveaway.

    Happy anniversary guys.

    How do you know that everyone was wrong? So many people were complaining, what if they just did this because of that?

    Do not mistake this post as a complaint though, I already have this set, it is good they decided to do something, ANYTHING, to commemorate the occasion though.

    Makes one wonder about that 2268 interior that's heavily implied by the fact that this is labeled 2267.

    the 2268 one is the free pioneer one we use on the 23c temporal ships

    Sweet, I have the command tunic but not most of the other stuff.

    @mattjohnsonva
    You are making an assumption that they did not plan to make this giveaway today until somehow people pissing & moaning somehow made them change their minds. Just fyi, assumptions are the mother of all f- - - ups.
    Yes that's right, it is an assumption, and it's one shared by many, I suppose it just depends on how naive you wish to be.
    the moaning started AFTER the patch.... how would they add a promo AFTER the patch?

    As the saying goes, I wasn't born yesterday.

    Cool, thank you, Cryptic! This will complete my TOS collection except for the T6 TOS Connie, which I knew I'd probably never get anyway. I can always just get the T1 TOS Connie and pretend it's a T6. lol

    With upgrades in this game, you could make a T1 connie outperform a T6 Flagship if you have enough shekels.


    As far as this give away goes, I am waiting for the patch to finish! I have wanted this pack since day one and literally have a box with money that I have been saving up in to buy a gift card to get zen and purchase it. I love how it is now free for me to get!

    Now I have enough money to ask that cute girl in my class on a date...​​

    Time travel and glass-cannon ships hurt my head and is NOT what Trek is about. Trek is exploration, becoming better as a species, and gaining scientific knowledge while holding on to the traditions that got us where were are.

    This is free stuff, and free stuff is always good, so thank you, Cryptic. With that said, I'm about to complain.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't this step on the toes of the value of the AoY pack? I mean, it was still a good value, and the freebies here represent only a fraction of what I actually use from the pack, but I feel like I was charged for something that they were going to turn around and give away just two months down the road. That grinds my gears a bit.

    It isn't stuff in the AoY pack.

    Crash did, though he tried the "look over there!" and do a road runner act to attempt to escape. :D

    Yep, and saves the trouble of me getting 2000 zennys for this, since I was eyeing this for 2 years, now. :)

    The uniforms are, but you did remind me that the shuttle wasn't (I confused the shuttle my AoY got for being from the pack).

    That's the part that worked out for me; I didn't get it with the AoY pack ('cause it's not in the pack), so I got it today, for free (thanks again, Cryptic!). That still doesn't really address my point, though: this reduces the value of a very recently released bundle.

    ONE uniform is in both, the Command Tunic. But you're right, that certainly devalues the rest of the half dozen costumes, the dozen ships, the android BOff, and all the rest.

    getting the bridge for my Ranger class is a class act. Now there is total original series goodness. Spock and Uhura on duty when I walked onto the bridge. It just doesn't get any better. Hooray for Cryptie!

    I think it's a slap in the face. Many already own this. Couldn't they come with something new? They've had plenty of time. What a complete joke. Maybe the end is truly nigh.
    Yeah I already own the TOS medical set and was absolutely furious that they'd dare try to give something away that I already had. THE NERVE! Free stuff should be something amazing that everyone can use because we deserve it!

    Or something.

    (I'm just kidding by the way, but I'm saying this anyway because Poe's Law is a thing)

    Thanks for the bundle and happy 50th! :D

    Walking around looking for a hand to butt your face against isn't being slapped. Go find some other way to celebrate Star Trek besides whining you didn't get free stuff. It's undignified.

    If Crash won't eat it... I would be up to the task of chowing down on that keyboard...
