    I always claim anything first on my main toon for those very reasons "...once per account..." so many have talked about claiming on the wrong toon before, so I always claim on my main toon first.

    The Disco sniper rifle is comparable to one you get as a "rare" in one of the Disco missions when upgraded to epic XV. The big difference here is the color scheme of the rifle, the regular is black like the show, and the anniversary rifle has almost like a silver plating around the barrel casing.

    The vanity shield is good and kinda gives a grayish reflective texture on ships with a bit of Aegis flood lighting effects. Looks good on many ships and it kinda gives me a bit of Imperial Empire color scheme effect from Star Wars on some ships.

    I did the same with my Main, however, I wish the Rifle was good for all characters instead of just one. Although I made sure the DISCO Bridge Officer got it.

    As for that shield, I liked everything but the Nacelles and the Impulse Engines. If they had left those alone I'd rock it all day long.

    At least it was free. lol

    Nope. The Tardigrade, title, and shield are an account-wide unlock, but a per-toon claim. You can collect them with any toon, but they are all character-bound.

    The gun and the upgrades are character-bound to the first toon to claim them. They do not show up for any other toons.

    Wish I had known about the gun before hand. I wouldn't've given it to my KLINGON, because it is PHASER.

    Really... I already used mine, so I couldn't be certain. I stand corrected.

    Like I said, for me I always for the most part claim new release goodies on my main toon first for these very reasons. The exception was when the legendary romulan pack came out and I boosted my existing rommy up. However, everything always goes first to the main toon, alts get seconds Tongue Out

    My problem is that I have had three mains. Used up inventory, BOff, DOff, ship, and bank slots on all three of them. Bought some T1-T4 ships for each of them (back before they were DIL-based), and quite a few lockbox ships off the exchange. I am sure that I will eventually end up abandoning my current main for a shiny, new one sometime in the future. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    All that nifty Bound to Character gear sitting idle. *shudder*

    [COLOR="#2F4F4F"]Is the gun still supposed to be one character per account only ... *snip*

    Edit 1:

    Hold on. Checking something. Never mind for now.


    Edit 2:

    OK did some messing around and I can indeed get the rifle on all toons. Interestingly, I can get it twice (sort of) on some of them, but not others. I have not figured out what the makes the difference. Anyone come across this?


    Edit 3:

    I found found the problem!

    Problem: I am both unobservant and dumb Unamused ... and also that one needs to be level 65 to have both the upgraded and infinity copies.

    Solution:
    Level everyone to 65. I don't know about the dumb and unobservant parts though.
