    Actually...wild thought....

    We know that Tasha Yar went back in time with the enterprise C to defend the klingon base from Romulans. We also know she was captured and eventually fathered a romulan daughter which later threatened Picard and the Enterprise.

    It is possbile the Enterprise C could be found in the Vault (along with the Borg sphere).

    We also recently got several TOS items as episode rewards and Cryptic loves to dish out TOS stuff.

    All of that leads me to believe that it may very well be a TOS interior that will be released as the series reward.

    I believe a Dev even posted a pic of a TOS interior for us to look at.

    TOS interior is merely a work in progress at this point, and I doubt anyone actually thinks it won't hit the C-store only when it hits live. If they can't give a ship like the Nebula that most people didn't care about for free, they darned sure aren't going to give out what is most likely the most requested ship interior for free.

    I think u are selling cryptic too short. U may be right, but we have gotten TOS weapons for free. Plus what's to stop them from putting it in the c store after the series reward expires?

    Maybe it will be a Hobus Supernova social toy that allows you to completely annihilate all stars and planets inside a system.

    Haha I have a Red Matter Generator already :D All I need is the ship Geordi designed and Spock used :p Though I doubt we'll see another Jellyfish, especially in STO :(

    Prove me wrong Cryptic :)

    Ummm. Do you see a Breen Bridge Officer in the C-Store

    Do you see a Ophidian Cane in the C-Store. Stop this snarky attitude

    Those are both things they discussed putting in... But I think even if they wind up in there, we'll see new in-game ways of getting them through Featured Episode reruns.

    Maybe, who knows? He said "Once you find out the fate of the Enterprise C, the Ambassador is unlocked in ship requisitions" which seems an odd way to phrase it. Especially since in the past they hinted it might not be a Tier5 ship.

    It seems a stretch, but he mentioned it in 2 different interviews in the last week, and it seems weird that we'd have another Romulan features series again soon.

    hrmm hrmm,

    there is a little blury image of a federation ship on one of the images shown on the big wall screens in the tal shiar base.

    I'm hoping for a Romulan cloaking device console. (non-battle cloak)

    I'll take one of those along with a Rommie BO.;)

    Special Reward: Thalaron generator ground device (I know "banned" but I'm looking at the cane and Breen BO)
    Standard Reward: Romulan BO or alternatively playable Romulan species

    At least that's my hope.

    Well, Cryptic has been known to forshadow their rewards. And since in the first episode we see an abandoned Scorpion Fighter, and since the shuttles say FIGHTERS on them next too SHUTTLE, and since there are no FIGHTERS currently playable, I think it is safe to assume that the Scorpion is the Series Reward, or at least a mission reward. I think that we might get a Thaloron generator as a mission reward.

    I'm expecting a melee weapon along the way. Not the special reward at the end, but I'm looking at the Coliseum mission in particular. Shuttles aren't the only thing they've been hyping lately.

    Agreed, they've been hinting at a new melee weapon for a while and since we have no clue how this series is going to turn out, it could be anything. Since they've been hinting at Lirpas being high on their list, we might even guess the next few episodes will involve Vulcans. All those colony worlds in havoc, no Empire to help them. Reunification anyone?

    They've also hinted at the idea of taming a Warrigul.

    Given the interest in Targs as a sortof BO substitute... and maybe even Exocomps, at least among players... they may be branching out away teams to include non-humanoid, non-officers like animals and machines.

    I'd love to see a Romulan Honor Blade as a melee weapon and as a mission reward.:)

    That would be awesome too. Any melee weapon would be good if it scales. I'm tired of only having the Batleth, its absurd for a Vulcan or Andoria or human for that matter using Klingon weapons. Or Romulan, for that matter. But at least we'd have another option.

    There's one thing being overlooked in all this talk of a Rommie BO.

    The devs have stated (or hinted) numerous times that the Romulans will be the next playable faction. Unless they're planning on making all FEs released prior to then Fed/Klink EXCLUSIVE (which would create a group of players with more to complain about than even the Klingon players), then why would they release a series reward that's super-special to two factions, but all but underwhelming to the third? Why would Romulan players flip out over a Romulan BO?

    "But wait, Husnock," you may say, "this FE will be over with LONG before the Romulans come out!" Well, you're right. But what about FE Rerun Weekends, which would almost be a surefire thing if they release a third faction (so the Rommies can get a shot at their own Breen BO and Ophidian Cane)? Again, why would these hypothetical Romulan players be inclined to work for something that they can just get at any BO Requisitions Vendor on Rator III?

    So that's why it wouldn't be logical that it'd be a Rommie BO. Me, I'm still hoping and praying for Narada cluster torps (Cryptic was allowed to use Red Matter in the game, so why not yet another weapon that originated in the Prime Universe?).

    Probably a Romulan cat or something

    They love dishing out pets here, there and everywhere...

    I'm putting my mone... er, gold-pressed latinum on a Warrigul pet :cool:

    They look cooler than Targs and I think they might act like wolves!

    Guys as fun as a combat pet would be...just no. That should be reserved for Klingon targ handlers that can beam down several at a time. I play exclusively Fed and I just think its dumb. I love my cool little Horta following me around, but it should never see combat. Ill take an engineer officer with turrets over a combat pet any day.

    They could easily give it a unique ability like the Breen's Cryonic Visor Beam, too. Maybe something normally only seen on Romulan NPCs and not available to players.

    It might not make it a superior bridge officer, but it would make it something they couldn't just pick up by other means.

    Only if we have the option to choose between male and female. Other than that. No thanks. I heard they are planning on working on Series 4 soon. Maybe a Boff for that. But yeah. Choice on gender.

    Agree i want a female Romulan boff for my fed.For my KDF i dont care what gender the Reman is.

    I could see this happening if done right...

    Everybody could use a Cloakling Console but it would only work correctly All The Time for a Romulan Toon...

    Thus..., just like in the "Enterprise Incident", a Romulan Cloaking Device can be adapted for any ship...,

    ...but, it would most likely 'Not Work Every Time', have a 'Long Cool-Down' and could 'Cause Damage' to your Non-Romulan vessel if used to often.
