UPDATE: Location information.
The U.S.S. Sally Ride is in the Narendra System, in the Beta Quadrant.
On the map, Narendra is four rows down in the right-most column. Almost dead center of the sector. You do not need to enter the Narendra system. The U.S.S. Sally Ride is to the east of the system.

Get there, get a free Admiralty Card. Go. Now.

The Sally Ride is hanging out in Sector Space in Star Trek Online. If you can find her, you definitely will get this:

The Sally Ride is an Admiralty card in Star Trek Online, and is available to anyone who can find her in the game. Thanks for all the memories and all the great adventures, Shield of Tomorrow. We’ll miss you guys.

She hasn't moved since she was hatched. She's not going anywhere.
29 OCT 2019: She's still there.
11 FEB 2022: She's still there.

Thank you.

The last thing we need is yet another science ship admiralty card....

Said NO ONE EVER!

I'll def be keeping an eye on this thread

79 SCI with a +20 bump per SHIP?

Yes, please! My Jem'hadar could REALLY use that!

[Bar'ol]

I wonder once we get it it'll be account unlocked.

I tried to watch some latest episodes to hear locations only one I caught was they were at warp 7 heading for Archanis sector. But we have till july so who knows haha.

Holy nuts, I saw that ship in Beta Quadrant yesterday and did nothing about it!!

IIRC it was somewhere between Drozana and B'Tran. The ship may move around though.

D'oh.

I just made that run and saw nothing. So either you were mistaken, or a player out there has a ship named Sally Ride, or she's in-game and moves around.

Whatever the case, just keep your eyes open. We still have some time before it goes live.

I thought this started in July

To quote a favorite movie of mine:

It does. But that doesn't mean the ship isn't in the game already.

To quote a favorite movie of mine:

To be clear, I do not think you were mistaken. However, to be fair and honest, I had to include the possibility that you were.

Two week countdown begins today.

Mark your calendars.

(Also a consciousness bump.)

Did they mention if the ship will be account wide or only per character?

This is all they have said (so far):

"The Sally Ride will be an Admiralty card in Star Trek Online,
and will be available to anyone who can find her in the game."

I'm guessing it will be character locked, like the other freebie cards without ships.

Is this a limited time thing or permanent?

But tbh i think this sort of thing is perfect and just what STO needs. Hide some cool phat loot around the game for us to hunt down and find, something to get us out exploring or doing other content besides endless ISA runs!
Costumes, Admiralty ships, doffs, boffs; all sorts of stuff could be hidden.

I totally agree. CoX (if not other MMOs) did this in spades.

An admiralty card is also the perfect "reward" for the chance encounter as it does not waste space elsewhere.

The post didn't say if it was LTO or not. I would just leave it, if I were them. Let it randomly show up in sector space like the comets or abandoned ships.

Cruising along, minding my own business.
"What's that on the scanner?"
"It appears to be the U.S.S. Sally Ride, sir."
"Open hailing frequencies."
