This makes me happy as I have grown fond of science in this game.

Is there an event ship or item that you really want but missed out on? Now you have a chance to get one. Starting tomorrow, December 1, you can buy the Phoenix Prize Pack. Open one and you are awarded at prize token of a quality ranging from uncommon to epic. They can then be redeemed for one of the items of equal quality. Opened a rare quality token but don't want any of the rare items? That's ok, trade it in for 2 uncommon tokens. You can also trade in 10 uncommon tokens for another prize pack to give you another chance at a rarer item. How much zen is this going to cost? Glad you asked. The answer is NONE!. You buy the packs for 4,500 dilithium or 10 packs for 40,000.

See the article here with the list of prizes.

The 2016 winter event is now live. There is a new event: Klingon Ice Fishing. I have not tried it yet but I will. The ship prize is the Breen Chel Boalg Warship [T6].

Agreed. New content is good, but it'll be more heavily armoured enemies to shoot at. I was hoping for the more devious version from the new books.

Tentacles could have been fun too.

While I agree that the books description of the Tzenkethi is intriguing, They are not the ones who created the species. The writer who came up with Tzenkethi for DS9 said in an interview that he envisioned heavily armored lizard things. The STO version matches this. Also keep in mind that the books interpretation belongs to that writer, not CBS. Cryptic can't use it without a lot of legal red tape.

Personally not everything in the books are better. I hated what they did with the Borg in the Destiny series. The back story was fine for me but, seriously, assimilating ships by absorbing them? I am also of the personal opinion that the Typon Pact series completely ruined the Breen.

Did anyone else receive the T6 Sov email?
I got one and have claimed it. It is a nice looking ship. Except the nacelles....they are hideous. I used the Imperial nacelles on mine.

Also, I have already owned the formal wear for several years now so today's give away is useless to me. lol

I'm a little surprised that they don't give away more bridges, seeing as they think there's no money in bridge sets (cynic - moi?).

Nope, no email.
Also no email.

Granted, I haven't played in a while, but I don't even remember what my bridge looks like. There's just not much reason to go there.

Ok, this is a good one:

Today, Captains have access to two ship slots per character and five dry dock slots per character! Head to the “Promotions” tab of the C-store to claim them!

This Crash on instance change bug is making it really difficult to claim though!!!

Day 4:
It’s time to power up your Captains! Today, you can claim two Specialization Points per account, and two Featured Episode Crafting Packages per account. These will both be in the Promotions tab of the C-store.
Note that it's per account and not per character, so chose wisely.

***EDIT*** They got it wrong! There are two spec points per character and two tech upgrades per account.

Be warned the featured episode is very graphics heavy. The waterfall kicks off a lot of particles which made it practically unplayable on my PC. I had to leave the bulk of my ground fighting to my away team (which actually worked out surprisingly well).

Last giveaway (and then I'll shut up, promise).
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for: time for some free ships. Players can claim a T5 Avenger Federation Battle Cruiser for their Federation Captains, a T5 T’varo Light Warbird Retrofit for their Romulan Captains, and a T5 B’rel Bird of Prey retrofit for their Klingon Captains. All of these ships are 100% off in the “Tier 5” tab of the ship store in the C-store.
