Free T6 Ship

[Jed961]

I am ready to get the Tier-6 ship but I do not know where to start. I have installed and patched the game. I have not run the game yet. Can someone please give me a comprehensive guide on how to get the free ship?

[Jed961]

Since nobody provided me with a guide on how to earn this free ship, I have decided to declare war on all active Star Trek Online players.

"Get 'em Captain Kirk!" says willbill961.
"Set phasers to stun!" shouts Captain Kirk.
*Captain Kirk aims at the nearest Star Trek Online player and begins firing phaser shots.*
"Get every last one of 'em! These guys are trying to prevent me from getting my new ship" utters willbill961.
*Captain Kirk sets the phaser to kill and begins mercilessly slaughtering Star Trek Online players with his phaser blasts.*
"There is another one over there! He is hiding behind those Kilngons!" yells willbill961.
*Captain Kirk aims at the Star Trek Online player hiding behind the Klingons and snuffs him out with a phaser blast.*
"It looks like we killed all of the Star Trek Online players. What do you suppose we do now?" inquires Captain Kirk.
"Time to get to work. That new ship is not going to earn itself!" replies willbill961.

You need to have a toon at level 50 and above to be able to do the daily event to earn that free t6 ship, after that you just do the event once a day for the next 20 days to earn the free t6 ship.

which free ship? there are currently TWO events that award a ship

Event 1
Has been running all year and awards players a multi choice between
1500 lobi for a lobi store premium ship(or other lobi store items)
A lock box ship choice of around 20 ships
or TWO Cstore T6 ship tokens
(once the 3500 point req has been met there is one event for this multi choice left_
you MUST have played each participating event

EVENT 2
Mirror universe cruiser
to earn this ship you need:
to be level 50+
take part in the event for 20 days
or if you have the Zen you can but out the event getting the ship instantly

to participate in EVENT 2 press L and then on the left hand side you should see various tabs look for the event there

if co op is not your thing you can earn the ship via solo play
press J and scroll down to the bottom of the chapter list and play the mirror episode or find the DS9 missions as some of those count your progress

final note you can only gain participation progress ONCE every TWENTY hours

Sorry, maybe no Free T6 ship for you, at least till the Winter event. By the time you get up to speed with a geared character over level 50, it might be too late to get the mirror universe cruiser, but it can be bought out later. Just level up, gear up and learn all you can about STO, till the Winter event and the Anniversary event. Maybe you can level up to 30ish, then do Jabberwock in the DS9 arc for your event progression.
You said you Just started in your OP and sounds like you are New to STO. Do start a TOS Starfleet Temporal Recruit, that will provide some benefits to your account. I suggest an Engineer or Science Human captain first.

If you're referring to the one I started the other thread about, it's the Mirror Universe one. You need to do one of the mirror universe tasks (as listed in the blog I linked and also in the event window in-game) once per day for 20 days while the event is active.

The last day that you can start and still have time to finish, if my math is correct, is next Friday (the 24th).

----

Oh and if you are brand new, I would highly recommend that (even if it is not your primary character) you make a TOS character and advance them through the tutorial and the first story arc (until you reach the modern era) prior to the recruitment event ending (on the 7th).

----

There is not a permanently available, free, T6 ship. (In comparison to the free T1 through T5 ships you will be given as you level up, and an additional T3 you can get as a storyline reward.) They are only available via special events.

You could google STO free T6 coupon codes. There might be keys left for the T6 Klingon Raptor some sites were giving away a few months ago. But then you'd have to have a Klingon character to use it.

Hey will, welcome to STO, hope your wallet is open and ready to go! Joking, mostly. They give out 3 to 4 free ships a year. Some are good, some are great, and some are garbage. Here is my suggestion for you.

Play the game. If you care very much about DPS make sure you are playing a Romulan/Tactical captain. Otherwise any combo of race and captain will do. Play the episodes, some are very good. When you reach 50, if the event is still going on and you have the money to buy out the ship (I wouldnt, the regular Gagarin is bounds better imho) go ahead and do that. Otherwise, keep playing to 65.

Once finished, figure out what you think about the game. If you want to continue playing you should figure out a few things. Why you enjoy the game is first because you do not need much to play 90% of the games content. You could actually do it in a t5 tbh if your gear is up to snuff. This way you do not need to spend a dime. If you care about DPS or playing advanced or mainly, elite.....prepare to spend, possibly 500USD and up to get to the meta in your chosen profession/play style.

Also, carriers can be fun and also powerful on the base settings. But as the difficulty goes up their power goes down. Also, the traits used to make fighters and sometimes, frigates, useful (alive for more than a few seconds) are very expensive and can only be gained realistically with RL money. And even when you do, carriers are in a horrific place DPS wise since they nerfed a trait named Superior Area Denial. It is just not worth focusing on carriers in todays game.

Beam dps is probably the cheapest and easiest way to do damage. Cannon dps is higher than beams but requires a few traits and one very expensive one only found on a promo ship ( if you want to use cannon rapid fire). Cannon builds trend torwards scatter volley and are AoE. Science DPS is potent right now in the game but requires RL money traits to be useful for DPS (imp grav well is the primary culprit). Sci becomes even more effictive when combined with torpedo's. And currently, the top end DPS in the game are Torpedo boats which also need a few pay traits.

Now, you see I write about DPS a lot. And its for this reason. Unless you are playing elite TFO's you and your group will have no need for tanks/healers or Debuffers. Sure, those things help when present. But for 95% of the content, DPS is king.

Either way, I love this game. You may to. I just wanted to give you some advice you may not hear from others. Play the game, find out what you enjoy and go with that. For most content a good t5 with good gear can do the content. But come winter you will have a chance at whatever free t6 comes around.

You are probably, as others have said, going to miss this one.

I looked at the new TFO Operation Wolf, it says minimum rank is W ( warrior level ?) or LTJG , so i guess a newer player could participate more in this free mirror ship event. The four other players in the TFO would have to carry the new player through to end. The mission Firewall is min level LTJG.

Claim the free mirror gear in the promotions tab of the zen store.

[Running-Target]

The mission Firewall was easy enough using a new level 10 temporal recruit character, using the gear received from just getting out of the TOS starter zone. But the story might be too cringe to keep playing every day for the event token. Took around 30 minutes starting out.

[Jaynoble55]

I didnt even consider Firewall. Good post!

[cap-boulanger]

I suspect the minimum level for Counterpoint has been temporarily lowered... I had mk 2 and mk 7 gear dropping in yesterday's run (and two of the team appeared to be TOS Recruits).

Man I wish there was a list of all T6 ships in the game and a year of their release onby sorted by that year. So I could see which ship got added when.

Why would such a list be helpful?
