The announcement of the ship clearly stated that the ship could not be traded.
It clearly states that the package is bound to character.

Yes, they should be more careful with their copypasta, but if you missed 2 blaring, screaming signals that the ship would not be tradeable and instead chose to focus on some tiny bit of print tucked deep in a tooltip in a game whose tooltips are notoriously wrong... Well... Sorry I guess but that's life.

Note these lines clearly stated in the announcement for the ship.

"NOTE: The above stats are subject to change. The box that the ship comes in, which cannot be opened until the minimum rank listed above, is bound upon pickup."

Which was then repeated by every interview, podcast, and piece of information on the ship.
Plus it is even labelled in game.

They gave you a free ship for nothing more than a stupid 2 minute race for 25 days.

Oh the grind ! Oh the humanity !
Oh how they tricked us !


Or maybe , some of us actually read the information that was easily available about both the ship and the Winter Wonderland event, and knew from the start that this was intended to be bound. But essentially free.

FREE
Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year.
Free ship, plus some easily obtainable new costume pieces.

Can we be done with the many variations on this post we have seen since people started getting their Chel Gretts ?

I don't hardly ever complain or even mention the bugs in STO. I don't really believe there are all that many real problems with errors and bugs. A mispelled word here and there, stuck inside the fleet base transporter walls every once in a while. No big deal. For the most part I've been pretty happy. If not I wouldn't be a paid 1000+ day member.

I can always put another storage boat to use so it wasn't a 100% loss.

Hopefully next time the Devs will be more careful with their descriptions.

It would have been nice if the ship was bind to account so you could hand it to an alt. however judging by the Q&A they may be coding up a use for old ships in your hanger that has your bridge officers piloting them so if your out in your science vestle you can stick an extra tack officer in the breen ship to dps with you.

in the mean time It is a pritty versital ship so could be useful for missions requiring more of a gunship loadout.

What if the ship is not bound character, but is bound to account then we would have the chance to move as engineer or scientist the ship to a own tactics. That would be a compromise for all or.

It is free, you didn't pay a cent for it...

The support has responded to people who have said enough to change the shape of the same opinion would they change the shiff tradable or bound of character to account.

sry for my bad english.
