And on top of that, you just gotta assume that they will eventually add a new Fleet Holding, complete with brand new shiny TIER 6 ships (with it's added mastery, bridge officer ability, the works...), which ultimately completely replaces the existing Fleet/Fleet-Upgraded ships.

Todays ship is the Constellation, that file wasn't there yesterday

data/texture_library/UI/Cstore/CStore_Icons/Ships/Cstore_Icon_Ship_Constellation.wtex

This was added today as well, isn't even on tribble

Cstore_Icon_Ship_Ambassador.wtex

T5 Ambassador coming to the C-Store? Might explain why it isn't on the upgrade list.

No file for the Kamarang though.

Free item for today is the TNG season 1 uniform and Admirals Uniform, they're in a pack together.

Also, a list of items for the free weekend

http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/7003003-giveaway-event

The Ambassador is free Monday, that would explain the C-Store images for it.

New Delta Quadrant Species profiles, The Cooperative, and the Octani (in Voyager they were only known as Species 6339, Cryptic gave them a name)

I find it kinda funny that they're giving out another free T5 Ambassador. The first one was given out back when the Temporal Ambassador mission first came out but lacked a console so hopefully this one will have something useful. Will still claim it regardless for alts however.

They're giving it in the C-Store, so presumably it's MEANT to be account wide. Wonder why the Klingons aren't getting the Kamarag? (Didn't we get the Varanus in the last giveaway? Or was it one of the Orion barges? Can't remember.)

Started a new fed Character, I'm a female Klingon Science officer, flying an Oberth, killing Klingon BoPs

Oh and her name is C'ursor, because I'm so clever.

I'm aware that it's a c-store account wide unlock. Just wondering if a console will be included with it.
Last year the KDF got the Gorn Phalanx and the Orion Marauder Flight-Deck Cruiser along with the To'Duj fighter.

The ambo has never had a unique console associated with it.

And it was never in the c-store either until now (tomorrow). One can hope though, right?

Joshmaul · « **Reply #5230 on:** September 01, 2014, 03:21:56 AM »

Thing is, if it WERE to get a special console of some sort...what would it get? The Ambassador didn't exactly have a particularly notable service history, compared to the other "older ships" in service - other than the fact that the fourth out of seven (or fifth out of eight, if you count the NX-01) ships named Enterprise was one of them. Not much screen-time compared to, say, the Miranda or Excelsior, which were "cookie cutter" ships during the Dominion War.

Possible, though extremely unlikely imo. I'm quite sure that if there were changes to the ambo such as a console or stat changes, it would have been announced before hand.

Sacrifices itself to the enemy and you get a fleet of Klingon ships to help you

Also no it doesn't have a console.

Oh well. Was all speculation on my behalf though so meh.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #5234 on:** September 01, 2014, 10:31:55 PM »

More like "wishful thinking" in my opinion. Cryptic are likely neck deep in developing Delta Rising at current, and all of the items that were given away this weekend, were either items that sold poorly, or items that had extremely limited availability. Now, if they had opted to give out some of their more popular "top tier" type items, this giveaway might've been a bit more worthwhile. Even though anything in the C-Store will effectively be rendered null and void after Delta Rising launches, one would assume that they COULD have given away some free Tier 5 ships, besides the Ambassador (which isn't even the best Tier 5 Cruiser, and does not qualify for the Fleet discount).

Seven and Neelix appear to not have aged

Darkthunder · « **Reply #5236 on:** September 02, 2014, 05:46:29 PM »

One could argue, that Seven's Borg nano probes either slow down, or modify her regular aging process. Neelix on the other hand, we never did find out how long-lived Talaxians are. It's possible that 30-40 years is relatively minor in a Talaxians full life length.

One cool detail, is that they included the Doctor's mobile emitter. But they got Harry's combadge wrong in the updated 2410 style appearance.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #5237 on:** September 02, 2014, 05:52:37 PM »

Harry looks younger in the "Past Picture" looks like a whole different texture. Though it could be just some Photoshop touch up. Or perhaps we'll get flash backs/time travel

Also he has no rank lol

As for the badge, either an error or for promotional reasons. Remember Tuvok's first few pictures, he wore the VOY uniform, but STO badge.

Yeah I see that now in the High Res one, it hard to see in the small one I linked above.

According to either Needs of the Many or Path to 2409, the Doctor Should have the Rank of Lt. Cmdr.

Big tribble patch, includes a couple missions and the new STF
