I did not get a ship yet (have one left) but I have a huge stockpile of Rich Dilithium Mining Claims which I will use until they are gone, a pack of Krieger Disruptor Space Weapons, and of course Lobi. Wish the Rich Dilithium Mining Claims were not an inventory item but just an icon like the various game currencies such as Omega, Romulan, etc marks. Wish the same with the other reputation currencies.
Are the promo boxes character bound? When you use bound kexs to open a lockbox the prize inside will also be bound. Is this the case here as well?
Because in the unlikely event of getting a ship, I don't want any of the promo ships. But I want a Kelvin from the lockbox. So I'd trade that, but if the prize is bound I have to adapt my plans...

A little heads up, since i have late shifts this week the new give away info will be added a few hours late to the OP.
Anyone else who wants to is free to provide a link to the new giveaway below.
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.
So...day 2 never showed up for me. Thought it was just because weekend...but since the day 3 one showed up...guess not.
It's not in the English news section, but it was only announced on twitter.
On top of that they use the same image so it's easy to miss.

... or a Boolean Heavy Assault Cannon, but who can resist a tasty shiitake!?
The Boolean and Vaadwaur weapons are nice albeit sometimes a bit situational. Same goes for the Elachi Pistol.
Thinking about getting the Hur'Q weapon for one of my science toons. Disable and knock back sounds like a good match for some of my control oriented characters.

The problem is upgrading them, and I don't want to waste one of my ultimate upgrades on it. I already have my tommygun and cocaine shotgun which are gold level.
Yeah, with the Anni starting tomorrow and all, isn't it about time they start announcing some sales? Or a 3-pack (?) ship with warship Voyager and all? They seem to be cutting it awfully close. I mean, last Anni they announced stuff way earlier.
If they do create Warship Voyager then I hope they place it in the c-store like with the Galaxy X. A Warship Voyager would give me an excuse to use an Intrepid on my Tac toons.

what makes you think it was a typo and not deliberate? cocaine and cochrane are just different enough that it would take some major keystroke FUBAR to get one from the other accidentally

Sad enough we have to depend on users like you who post stuff like this on the Forums or use an external news source like Twitter, instead of having Cryptic posting this news in the, i don't know, ACTUAL news section of the Games website.
Don't get me wrong, i'm super grateful we have users like you who who do this kind of stuff so we see what we get before we start the game.
It's just super annoying Cryptic is using the news section for stuff like those Storys (which in my opinion are more Fanfiction than news) but if there are news (like this giveaway) we have to search around to find out about it...
Edit: Of course, the day i say something about them not using the news section to anounce the giveaway, they start anouncing them again -_- Well, point stands, they didn't anounce anything yesterday....
If they do create Warship Voyager then I hope they place it in the c-store like with the Galaxy X. A Warship Voyager would give me an excuse to use an Intrepid on my Tac toons.
Defiant Warship in new bundle... maybe Warship Voyager in it as well?

Wonder if tomorrow will be 5 spins of the dabo wheel at quarks, would be in keeping with the theme of rng based giveaways.
Yeah, i liked the past giveaways way more. At least you knew what you get. With this RNG stuff some players get lucky, while most of the players don't get anything usefull.
I mean yes, it free stuff, and we shouldn't complain. But prefering a giveaway where most of the time all players are getting the same, instead of something totally RNG based, should be allowed?
So how many people were creating account after account yesterday til today just to get a promo ship? One person i know told me he made 27 to get 1 promo ship. I m sure there is people out there they took it to the extreme just to create some EC or real cash selling them on ebay. I would like to know how many accounts have been created since yesterday lol just the shear number would be fun to know.
C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

Not me. I just take the freebies as I get them. If I don't win a big prize I'm still happy to get free stuff. My son got a T6 box though. Happy for him.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.

Same here, 1 account is enough, sure my luck is bad but I consider making many accounts to exploit a giveaway as cheating and taking advantage of a kind offer

I do have two accts. My FTP and a Lifer. If I count the Tribble server, I have three, but there are no giveaways on Tribble due to the C-Store being disabled.
I also play for my family who are on STO to make sure they get their freebies and 'free' ships/shinies.
Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands are are able to do this during events.

You received 50 lobi, which can be exchanged for a few things, like 50 sautéed shitiake mushrooms! - https://sto.gamepedia.com/Lobi_Crystal_Consortium
... or a Boolean Heavy Assault Cannon, but who can resist a tasty shiitake!?
Right now the only T6 Constitution that could be unlocked with Lockbox Keys is the JJKelvin version.
Because in the unlikely event of getting a ship, I don't want any of the promo ships. But I want a Kelvin from the lockbox. So I'd trade that, but if the prize is bound I have to adapt my plans...
