    Nice! I already have them, but nice!
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    Oh, I was so looking forward to the second item only to find out it's yet another I already have. : (

    It's kind of odd how they are giving a second costume item away in one giveaway.
    I stream on Twitch, look for Avoozl_

    Already have it but again, a very nice addition for a freebe. The belts, wrist tech, and eye wear are what make this outfit well worth picking up.

    Hello, Thank you so much. I was planning on purchasing these uniforms. They're gorgeous! <3

    Agreed... I use the visor on my Aenar Sci Admiral, as his version of a visor...

    Day 1... Given away a couple of years ago.

    Day 2... Bought it a while ago.

    Day 3... Fingers crossed.

    Agreed. I use the long coat for Zeus to nice effect. It looks godly.

    Well, by golly, I'm actually really happy with this! I honestly would've preferred to (finally) get the Mercenary uniform, but Intel is still pretty far up my "I want it, but hard to justify dropping Zen for it" list.

    Thanks, Cryptic, I'm definitely going to get some serious mileage out of this one.

    Many a veteran player has the vast majority of these items through previous giveaways or through direct purchase. Free items from the cash shop are nice gestures. Though after six-years I would point out to Cryptic that the C-Store isn't the only set of assets to draw from. I'm pretty sure the Lobi Store and the Dilithium Store are other pools from which to broaden future giveaways. Please consider this in the future?

    It is nice of Cryptic to give away stuff, and I thank them for the idea of a promotion, it's too bad that I can not participate again because I have previously supported the game by making a purchase.

    Congrats to those that didn't already have the costume set and get it now for free! No sarcasm: I am happy for you! :)

    Thank you kindly ^_^

    Yeah this was one of those outfits I bought on release since the long coat was always a nice outfit option to have. Nice to see it being offered for free to other people.
  • gonaliusgonalius Member Posts: 893 Arc User
    Cheers for this. I wanted the visor for one of my Bridge Officers a while back, but wasn't willing to shell out for the pack just for that, so this is much appreciated.

    That said, I am surprised at having two costume packs in a row this giveaway.

    As a minority player - a lifetime subscriber who hardly spends Zen on anything - it's rather a treat to get some of these costumes that fall under the "neat, but I'm not really willing to pay for them" category. I've actually had my eye on the formalwear for years now. Thanks, Cryptic!

    I could never justify the Intel uniforms, so glad to get them, I cannot wait to jump in the tailor on a few toons.

    That said a Token worth 50 lobi for a ground weapon of choice would be an excellent one, even if one token per account.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    Wow, thank you ^_^
  • gavinrunebladegavinruneblade Member Posts: 3,894 Arc User
    Thanks for this! I have it and use it often on my main (lifetime) account, but the free account I also maintain never got it, and I missed the formal suit last year so I'm two for two this year.

    Also, just thanks to all the development and support team for all the great fun throughout the years!
  • vorwodavorwoda Member Posts: 698 Arc User
    Thank you again! I've gotten lucky so far, and had neither of these. Hoping an Eisilum Crystal Horta combat pet is in the works, to match the Polytrinic Acid Horta combat pet from a previous giveaway. Having a full house would be sweet!

    In any case, thank you again, this is very generous, and much appreciated!
  • botanybangbotanybang Member Posts: 22 Arc User
    Had yesterday's formal outfit already, but today's intel outfit is a nice addition. You can never have too many outfit options.... Thanks Cryptic!
  • nommo#5819 nommo Member Posts: 1,105 Arc User
    Already have this outfit, but nonetheless still a nice little gesture to everyone. Hopefully some players didn't have it & benefited.

    On the other hand, the C-Store is account-wide while the Lobi store isn't. In my eyes, that makes even the most trivial of the new unlocks more valuable than any of the Lobi stuff - because if I don't have precisely one character immediately suited to the item, I don't have to sit on my TRIBBLE for years trying to figure out who to give it to, I can give it to the whole lot of them. (Incidentally, this is exactly what's happened with the free Ferengi shuttle from an ARC giveaway a few years back - it remains in my account bank to this day.)

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

    Oh hey, something I don't already have! Awesome!
  • captainkoltarcaptainkoltar Member Posts: 938 Arc User
    Great giveaway. I already have the Intel uniforms, and it's great that more people can enjoy them.

    I don't get a huge amount of use out of the uniforms across my characters, but the visor and the wristband do get used often.
  • dragnridrdragnridr Member Posts: 671 Arc User
    I hope I'm not the only that bought this outfit months ago just for the gloves, oh, and it looks awesome on my Temporal Agent. But as some had said before, Cryptic should open the giveaway to more than just the C-Store Items. More into the Lobi and Lockbox items. There are many people who can't actually spend more than an hour or two every few days in game because of real life happenings, let alone drop more than $30 for ships or keys. Maybe a ship from one of the new bundles just to get people started in the right direction.

    But please don't get this the wrong way, I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Many of my fleetmates had yet to get the Intel outfit, and for that there had been bouncing involved.
