We thought that there would be a kdf item given away each day as well as the fed item but no, that is not the case.

That was said only to be done with ships. Evidenced by today's Give Away

Finally an item that I hadn't previously purchased.

(Pity, shuttle combat is completely f--king boring)

wasn't said until a day or two AFTER it was first announced ;)

Yup, that's what I thought!   
*well, I got the tos gear for free, but that counts...right?

Actually it was said the day it was announced

Agreed to both counts.

That post did not make it clear that there would not be items for KDF players on the first 2 days.  All it said, was that there would be KDF ships on the days that the feds were getting ships.

Try again Mr CDF.


EDIT

New patch notes. 
Seems they have finally got around to fixing the omega torp.  Well, it was fun while it lasted.  Back into the bank you go my dear.  The only other fix that struck me as being of any consequence was the one where buffs and heals were being applied to your pets rather than yourself.

CDF? I'm not defending cryptic at all. I misread one post :|

Nebula Class Retrofit and Marauder Flight Deck Cruiser

Tier 5 ships. Now this is definately interesting...makes one wonder what the next two days will bring.

[Darkthunder]

Nothing. The "End of summer event giveaway" was only for Monday through Friday.

[Tuskin38]

Yeah, nothing over the weekend, but the stuff is staying free until Monday morning.

Voth and Dyson sphere concept art

[Darkthunder]

The Voth concept art looks pretty much spot on. But it remains to be seen how accurately they make their ingame counterparts, compared to the artwork.

[Tuskin38]

They're redoing a bunch of console icon artwork

New Concept Art for Season 8

I guess that means I can't get a Risa bird now...that's what I get for getting fed up with the dumb horgahn hunt.

[ShaunKL]

Can anyone else feel the Mass Effect influence in that concept art?  I should probably watch VOY: "Distant Origins"...

I wonder if the Dyson Sphere map will be on a flat plane like most of STO or be more three-dimensional.  In terms of where you can fly I mean.

[FarShot]

Nothing new under the sun.

[ShaunKL]

Doesn't mean you can't take what's already there and mix them together in fun ways.

considering that dyson spheres are two AUs in diameter, I doubt you'd be able to fly around the entire space.

[FarShot]

Planets in STO, being like.... 100 km in diameter... makes an AU much smaller.
