    This sucks! Unless yor over level 50 you get nothing today and everyone saying well you'll have to rush through the levels to get to level 50...No! Im playing the game to enjoy it not to rush through all the story arcs. Unless thats what Cryptic expect me to do just spend the next three days blasting through all their content. These prizes are getting worse and worse each day. Literaly nothing for the majority of players today. Bahh!

    Yeah, it's unfortunate that the KDF ship is the same as the 7th Anniversary giveaway. Maybe they'll change it?

    Yes, I'd like to see T5 Kamarag instead of B'rel.

    Nice... I wanted the Delhen for kitbashing its t6 equivalent (unless I have it already and I'm thinking of another ship) but more chances to see people try out a bop for free is never a bad thing as an ebc scibop is a wonderful ship to fly and teaches skills such as not overestimating your ability and striking hard and fast

    Not Bad for new players. great ships back in the day until STO beat tactical to death with a nerf bat. Already have these ships, but again, nice gift for players who dont. Very generous of you cryptic.

    Just started playing STO in time to miss out on the winter ship thing, and now this. Don't have time to sit and grind toons all the way to 50 for a "giveaway". Real life just won't allow that. So instead of a giveaway, perhaps they should have at least said up front "Have a level 50 toon to claim a ship, or don't worry about it." And from what I have seen, you have to have a lvl 50 of each faction if you want all three ships. This sucks.

    Been seeing folk in zone chat and here claiming that you only have to be 40 to claim.

    This isnt the case!

    As T5's were once the top end ships they were locked to 50 and I think the misinformation is coming from event T6's being used by level 40's.

    Thank you for the ships. Will we ever see the T5 Kamarag again? The T5 Ambassador was given away a few times, but the T5 Kamarag was only available as a mission reward during the initial run of "Temporal Ambassador". Newer characters can't get it anymore.

    Two more things we could use:

    1. a faction filter for ships in the C-Store
    2. a "Claim All Admiralty Ships" button
    Waiting for a programmer ...

    Because the T5 Kamarag and T5 Ambassador were event ships not c-store ships, only c-store ships are given away for these minor giveaways.

    There are two giveaways left to come, one on Monday and one on Tuesday.

    I think there's a fairly good chance that you'll get your wish.

    Wrong - only 1 day is left - from Monday to Tuesday.

    The giveaway started on 15th January ( Monday ) and it is to 23rd - thats Tuesday
    1 - Monday-Tuesday (Uniforms)
    2 - Tuesday - Wednesday (Phenix pack)
    3 - Wednesday - Thursday (Dilithium)
    4 - Thursday - Friday (Marks)
    5,6,7 Friday - Saturday, Saturday - Sunday, Sunday - Monday (T5 Ships)
    8 - Monday - Tuesday (?)

    The Anniversary Event starts on Tuesday - and that's it.

    But I'm really curious: what it will be on last day? Normally they should save the best for the end, so.. what will be better that 3 free T5 ships from Zen store? (Or rather what it will be, that Cryptic, or PWE will give for free to players?)

    According to a Cryptic staff member discussing the giveaway on Reddit earlier this week:

    "There's a weekend long giveaway that starts tomorrow (ie: Defiant et al) , and then two more on Monday and Tuesday."

    We shall see.

    ... and of course, I'd love to have a T5/6 Kamarag, like there is a T5/6 Ambassador.

    I thought I had them all on my main acct. Glad I went back and looked. It was the T4 retrofit I had, the T'Varo and the B'rel. So I have two new ships for my main.

    Thanks, Cryptic!
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    It turned out that i didn't have the Dhelan yet (had the mirror version though) so that was one addition for the admiralty.
    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.

    As i read it, there is only one item giveaway remaining, but i can be mistaken.

    I do believe it is one more from 6pm GMT Monday till 6pm Tuesday....however, there will be maintenance on Tuesday folks, so don't forget to get on before then.

    I hope so, the last 2 years I forgot to log on for the 'best'/most useful day of free inventory/bank & ship slots. Really irksome if they don't do some slot related thing this time after I wrote a big "DON'T FORGET TO LOG IN, STUPID!" not on my monitor this time! :'(

  • postagepaidpostagepaid Member Posts: 2,899 Arc User
    If they do ship or dry dock slots after the weekend there'll be another wave hit of rants, albeit slightly less nonsensical as it would make more sense to give room for ships before the ship itself.
  • mcscarypantsmcscarypants Member Posts: 70 Arc User
    Okay re-read the announcemt blog. I missed the second set of dates that stated the ship giveaway strecthed all weekend.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,918 Arc User
    Yep, all the way into Monday, noon Central time.

    And I read one of the devs said we are getting two more giveaways. Tuesday's will just run into Wednesday. Monday (noon-noon Tue), Noon Tuesday to Noon Wedensday. All Central time for me. Make your calculations from there.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

  • ytihayytihay Member Posts: 10 Arc User
    So, before I log in, what's the actual level one needs to reach to get the ships? 40? 45? 50?

    My KDF is lvl 35 & my Romulan is lvl 10... I don't think I'll be able to get the romulan ship in time... :(
  • admrenlarreckadmrenlarreck Member Posts: 2,041 Arc User
    For those needing to hit level 50 to get the ships. go to the exchange buy a bunch of Mirror invasion Doff assignments, Temporal Assignments, etc. Add in purple doffs, in four hours with about 5 of these running you hit 50 from level 12.

    First four links on this wiki page are what your looking for.

    As frtoaster notes just above your post, the T5 Ambassador has been put into the C-store temporarily as an account claimable ship for a giveaway and remains accountavailable for those that claimed it that way back then. Sadly A ) I must have missed that one giveaway; B ) Kamarag was never given away in such a manner.
    Been seeing folk in zone chat and here claiming that you only have to be 40 to claim.

    This isnt the case!

    As T5's were once the top end ships they were locked to 50 and I think the misinformation is coming from event T6's being used by level 40's.

    The problem is that there are actually Tier 5 ships available from level 40. That includes all the free choices after leveling the char (dil picks after the first free one), all T5 lockbox, Lobi or event ships AND, curiously, also a bunch of C-store T5 ships*. So the confusion is understandable.

    *This only applies to some of the old FED and KDF ships, to my knowledge, not any Romulan T5 ships. Examples incude the T5 Nebula, D'Kyr, T5 Excelsior, Varanus or Marauder FDC.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
  • angrytargangrytarg Member Posts: 11,008 Arc User
    All the "old" T5s are level 40. "Old" as in game age. When 40 was the maximum level you gained a token you could use to claim a c-store T5 once per character. Back then those were the Retrofits of the Galaxy, Nebula, Excelsior, as well as the D'Kyr. I don't think you could do much with the Klingons at that time, but if any it'd be the Varanus and Marauder for them.​​
