    odd, perhaps day 4 is today? Tues 1/28120

    Haven't logged in today.

    No, today is day 5. Yesterday was Phoenix box day (and I DID get phoenix boxes yesterday), the day before that was R&D Promo boxes (which I also got), etc.

    "Until January 28th at 10am PT..."

    January 28, servers are down from 6-11 AM PT...

    But time is time and marches on. There's zero guarantee the Server is up 24/7 and gthey usually patch on Tuesdays.

    Today is 5 x Infinity duty officer packs. Each has a 1 in 100 chance at a promo ship like the TOS Connie.

    Pretty disgusting to be honest. Happy Anniversary. Here's some gamble boxes and keys for more gamble boxes. Figured we would have got a T3-5 ship at some point. Oh well, at least the Picard uniform was a nice gesture.

    They've already given away the majority of their less popular Tier3 - Tier 5 ships in previous years, and they always got complaints from the people who already had them, so I for one don't mind small stuff I can 100% actually use on some of my characters.

    And if you're scared 5 Master keys or 5 Promo Boxes will trigger a gambling frenzy for you; you can always not claim them, or claim and delete them.

    The launcher has been surprisingly consistent with the giveaway info.
    Consistently a day late!

    Also, with scaling ships available the T3-F5 are now mostly useful for admiralty and a few consoles and gear pieces.

    If Cryptic had given away ships, other people would be whining about how they will never use them even if they didn't own them. Whiners gotta whine.

    Would still have rather had something concrete rather than gamble boxes personally but hey the whales are complaining they have everything already so let's encourage them to gamble more right...

    I'd have liked to see a free ship and hopefully we'll get one, hell even a token for a free t3 ship of my choice or something'd be just fine with me

    100 Lobi: only 6 2/3 days of Lobi payout when we had that 30-day Featured Episode Rerun Event in 2013. But, that was when they knew how to give out Account Lobi per day, and turn on Unique Rewards in Episodes. Now, HFM bought them all up and sells them for a mere bag of shells. :)

    More than 100 if you consider the lobi from the 5 bound keys too

    You mean the old ferengi event? Where you could get ferengi lockboxes in three different rarityies and came with a daily to get lobi from.

    Well folks, the word was out already.
    Today the give away is Five Infinity Duty Officer Packs
    https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11355063-anniversary-giveaways-five-infinity-duty-officer-packs!

    Good Luck opening them
    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.

    Me too, or as Charlie Brown said: "I got a rock". But think of it as getting a Boolean Cannon or other ground weapon.

    Or a vanity pet. Or the Warrior's Decorated Skirt(if you use the lobi from the R&D box + Doffing Box and/or keys) or Gambling Device.

    Very dissapointing compared to previous years, imho. Rewards previous years made it feel like more worth my effort to login ans get and want to continue to play.

    Expected far better for the 10th anniversary.

    Considering that give away from previous years/anniversary also had a number of C-store ships i think there is one more give away coming.

    Cannot be sure though.
