[NuclearSnail]

So, where do we claim this stuff at? It's not in zen store promotions.
Edit: They just changed their release date from today to "coming soon" lol

"Delayed, but on its way! The Star Trek: Voyager giveaway will be live next Tuesday, the 21st of January. Thank you very much for your patience!"

the problem with the giveaway probably was they want to give away the pathfinder. which is a cstore ship. and the moment you claim a cstore ship it account unlocks. but they want to give it to just 1 character

read the announcement page

"the T5 and T6 ship will only be claimable once per an account"

and they can't figure out how to do not make the pathfinder account unlock

Maybe lol
I think it's that they can't figure out how to give you the t5 kazon ship. It's a lock box ship and can't be claimed any other way lol

It's weird that they are giving away the pathfinder instead of an intrepid from the start i think.

pathfinder is an intrepid

No it's not. Pathfinder class is different from the intrepid class. The pathfinder may have the intrepid skin, but that doesn't make it an intrepid class. It will still be distinctly a pathfinder class ship and NOT an intrepid class ship. The only T6 intrepid class ships available are the t6 fleet intrepid, and the tenth anniversary bundle intrepid. There is also a t5 intrepid but who wants a t5 ship? Point is, Intrepids and pathfinders are not the same thing. Like how the guardian class isn't a galaxy class kind of thing.

in my country it did not air until 2000 or something and they never aired season 3 to 7, only season 1 and 2, twice. they aired seasons 1 to 4 of the next generation. no star trek aired after that and paramount no longer allows it to air.

What country are you in, if I may ask?

In the united states both voyager and deep space nine premiered of Fox, UHF 33 back then, in January, on Tuesdays. Then around season 3 I think it was, voyager was moved over to UPN, but deep space nine stayed on Tuesdays on fox for it's entire run. Babylon five also started on fox, but later was moved to the WB network.

PS Babylon 5 predates deep space nine and it's well known in the industry that deep space nine is a direct rip off of Babylon 5. Warner brothers nearly sued paramount, but decided against it because they feared that paramount at the time just had enough money to counter sue, completely bury babylon5. So they had no choice but to let them get away with it if they wanted to save the show.

This is almost all false.

Babylon 5 was actually sold directly to syndication for seasons 1-4, and season 5 was on TNT (a cable channel). It never belonged to Fox or WB network (which is not the same thing as Warner Brothers studios), but because those networks didn't provide a full schedule at the time, a lot of Fox and WB (and UPN) stations filled in non-network time (none of those networks provided Tuesday or Wednesday prime-time programming at the time, so this was the preferred timeslot) with syndicated programs (this may be what happened in your local area; at the time there were also a vanishing few truly independent TV stations that ran all syndicated programming).

TNG and DS9 were actually direct to syndication, too.

In my area (San Diego), the local Fox station used to run TNG and DS9 back to back, and then (after TNG ended) Babylon 5 and DS9 back to back... on Saturday afternoons, not on Tuesday/Wednesday nights like a lot of other Fox/WB/UPN stations did... because it was technically a foreign station (XETV 6 out of Tijuana, which was a Fox affiliate until 2008.. and the "ETV" part literally stood for "English Television", it was a Mexican licensed station broadcasting from a Mexican transmitter in English) and there were some weird legal issues so they couldn't directly download and broadcast like US-based stations do, they had to record the program and then physically export the recordings to the transmitter control station (XETV had an office complex in San Diego and one in Tijuana, but the downlinks were all in San Diego and the transmitter control room was in Tijuana... the recordings had to be physically carried from one to the other and they're about 30 miles apart).

Voyager was always UPN - in fact, it was the *very first* program on UPN - the network went online on that same January 16, ran a very short (I think 15-20 second?) announcement, and then faded directly into the opening scene of "Caretaker". (I used to have a VHS tape of it, but I no longer have a machine that will play it...) Also, that January 16 was a MONDAY.

I just saw that the wording on it has been changed. It's (in theory) available on the 21st now.
Unless they change it again lol

However, the Pathfinder will (assuming this giveaway is treated the same as a zen purchase) unlock the zen-ship discount for the Fleet Intrepid.

And the Guardian/Galaxy is not the same thing - the Guardian *can't* use a Galaxy skin and *doesn't* unlock a discount on a Fleet Galaxy.

The fleet ships don't unlock unless you're in the correctly provisioned fleet. The pathfinder is still not an intrepid. They should have gifted an intrepid, or the maquis raider instead.

Terran Sirius, Terran Cygnus, Federation Yamato, federation Andromeda CAN all use the galaxy skin but non of them is a galaxy any more then a pathfinder is an intrepid.
Happy now? lol

Please actually read what I wrote and understand it and argue against it, don't assume you know what I "really meant" and then argue against that assumption.

Of course you have to be in a properly provisioned and leveled fleet to actually GET the Fleet Intrepid, just like any other Fleet ship. Didn't mention that because it was beside the point and any sane person would think it didn't need to be actually said in this context.

I also never said "pathfinder is an intrepid". That was other people.

What I was saying is that owning certain Zen ships activates a *discount* on a specific matching Fleet ship, and that the Pathfinder does so with the Fleet Intrepid.

You're the one who tried to compare Pathfinder/Intrepid to Guardian/Galaxy... not me. I was just saying that the two ships (Pathfinder and Guardian) aren't the same at all in their relationships to the other two ships - one does the fleet ship discount and can use the skin, and the other one has neither of those things.

I'm "happy" when people are actually correct in the information they are giving to new players. You have not been doing that in this thread until after you get called out for giving wrong information.

[andreasaspenberg575]

both ships unlocks for the entire account and can be reclaimed by any character. though the kazon ship have a level requirement. you need to be above a certain level to reclaim it. both ships can be reclaimed from the promotions tab. the EMH can not be reclaimed however and is given to the character that opens the package.

[cap-boulanger]

To note, if you do not have the cross-faction flying unlock, KDF-faction (and allied Romulans and Jem'Hadar) cannot unpack the Pathfinder.

Also, the EMH is one character only.

[NIkto Barada]

and fed only, since my kling aligned toon couldnt open it.

[andreasaspenberg575]

i have it on a KDF character. in fact: due to having multiple profiles, i have it on multiple KDF characters.

Please read and understand the entire comment before replying. ;)
