Maybe it's a special Nova class ship in gold...with the special "Stunning console":
Once activated, every enemy ship is stopping shooting on you and starts admiring the beautiful design of your Nova class vessel. :eek:
But on the other hand: the Nova is already stunningly beautiful. No need to change it.
Not sure, could be anything. History tells me that Brandon calling something epic, is never actually epic.
Could be:
Apple client.
Linux client.
Season 8 Beta.
The unknown special reward that held back the FE.
The list is endless really....
I'm thinking this. I'm sure its epic for those people who want it, and its always great the game opens up to new people, but for the rest it ends up feeling like a major let down when something gets hyped as the people who read and follow the news mostly play already.
But I live in hope it really is something to get excited about.
While a new lockbox will be exciting, and a Voth lockbox is pretty much inevitable, I wouldn't go so far as to call it "epic".
Well I think that's some kind of cultural misunderstanding between Americans and Europeans. As a person who lives in Central Europe, I find it hard sometimes when Americans call normal things "epic" or say "i love you" to people they just like. We use these words too, but not as often as North Americans. And perhaps more specifically sometimes.
On the other hand I really like (see: "like"!) the american way to express their enthusiasm!

Right it has gotten awfully silent about the apple client. While I would welcome it, I m not sure how to feel about the fact that they had time to create a mac client before adding a single wallpaper to pvp.

they did say they hired a company to make the apple client, so if it is, it did not take any dev time... and I don't understand why pvper cry, pvp-player vs player.. that is achievable in sto, the need for new maps in pvp, is a low priority..
My Guess is that since Gecko said there was a new ship release tied to the upcoming Featured Episode.. the ship featured will be an Exeter so the "Epic" news is a VA Fleet Exeter to appease the droves of players who from day one have called for a T5 Connie.

just check the links in my sig. We have been promised a lot more then wallpapers, and we have gotten zip. The wallpapers would be a start, but there is much that needs to be done for STO's pvp and it keeps getting postponed.
The devs love to overhype. Epic announcement, since it's Halloween, Hearts and Minds is back!
Brandon is enthusiastic.
I'm content knowing that Hearts and Minds and the new FE all start on Halloween. After that we have some type of special Event based off of the new FE that's supposed to last a couple of weeks - so he's probably hinting about the upcoming Event.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

I doubt something that's been asked for..., an 'epic' number of times...
Would be placed in the game as a Fleet ship.
Monetarily speaking, it would behoove Them to place it in the C-Store to make the maximum amount of profit.
Not everybody is in a Fleet.
My guess would be that the number that are, is considerably less than those who would be willing to spend cold-hard-cash for this item.

What if they have managed to get the rights to use the movies stuff.
I know they have the rights to make the TV goodies, the TV and Movies are split between CBS and Paramount so they don't have them yet.
I've played DC Univers Online, which is PS3(and soon PS4) and PC. You get 8-11 powers on your hot bar total. In trek, I've got 30, plus power management, targeting, and pet management. How are they going to fit all that on a playstation/XBone controller?
If it's not related to Season 8, but Brandon thinks it's "epic" and "important", my guess would be something Arc related. Perhaps a reward program associated with using Arc (isn't there supposed to be one?), or integration with CORE Connect?
Arc is (theoretically) already required to play Star Trek Online, so I don't think it's that.

If that's the announcement, allow me to say in advance; Meh.

yup, i'm not holding my breath either.

You mean the TOS Constitution class, renamed as "Epic class"?
Is it really coming? Is it? Is it? *lol*

This alone would be pretty epic IMHO.

Could be anything really.
- The carrier reward for the new FE.
- PS4 and/or XBox One.
- Apple/Mac.
- VO by a ST actor.
- New lockbox.
- Tier 5 TOS Connie/Exeter.
Of these, I think lockbox, PS4 and/or XBox One, or Apple/Mac are good news, but not epic.
The rest I would personally place in the epic news segment. Particularly if it turns out to be Tier 5 TOS Connie or Exeter.
That's my take on it...
The T5 Connie (original or movie) would be epic.
Anything else including the Exeter would be a big yawn for me.
I'm content knowing that Hearts and Minds and the new FE all start on Halloween. After that we have some type of special Event based off of the new FE that's supposed to last a couple of weeks - so he's probably hinting about the upcoming Event.
For me is the opposite. Lockbox, T5 Conie/Exeter big....who cares? Other ones might be mini epic...still don't care much.
I doubt something that's been asked for..., an 'epic' number of times...
Would be placed in the game as a Fleet ship.
