    I'm assuming it's a BOff, seriously, because that's where the cutscenes lead.

    But an inspired choice would be a raptor mount usable only in the Sphere Battlezone. I'm guessing mounts are within the skillset of more devs at Cryptic now and offering it at T5 would keep people coming back to the sphere to use after their rep is done.

    With the dil rewards the way they are in the Sphere, I'm going to keep coming back even after I finish my rep, lol.

    I really hope it's a BOff of the dude in the cutscene, or at least a random Voth scientist. My temporal science vessel needs more dinosaurs.

    Yea, but he quoted me for it
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    it looks almost certain to be the guy in the cutscenes as a Boff, through the 4 we've had already it looks as though the guy is gearing up to defect after he's fed us as much info as he can.

    Personally I'd love a raptor combat/attack pet but that's just too much to hope for.

    I seriously hope the hold up with this is because we'll actually be getting a playable mission and not a cut scene for the last part, like in new romulus rep you do that whole beat up tholians and find the gateway that leads us to the sphere mission.

    There's still that voth zone that we can't enter yet, perhaps we have to go there behind enemy lines and rescue the voth guy before he gets executed for treason or something. ok this is massively speculative but that's what this thread is for. but i'm definitely excited for what the big T5 finale is going to be

    This +1. With all the hype they've been putting in, it'll be a HUGE disappointment if it isn't a really big epic mission like that.

    I think it'll be a doff of the guy in the cutscenes. Could be a boff, I suppose, but a doff is more realistic.

    That's been said, though, so I'll add my own twist:

    A daring mission into the Voth Zone to rescue him first.

    I'm hopeing for an epic mission like you mention above, but I would not hold my hopes up high.

    This is Cryptic we are talking about, and so far the other "rewards" so to speak, has been the cutscenes, and whilst I really like them, they are not missions.

    I lean towards that Voth sci guy as a BO, or a mission, but the mission is not likely to happen imo, but I could be proven wrong on that.

    Playable Voth would really be epic, but that is highly unlikely to happen, but one can hope against hope that it will happen...

    The Voth guy as a DO would be weaksauce, and even less likely to happen, since we can get Voth DO's in the new lockbox, if one goes that route.

    I think you have to factor in why the cutscene got delayed. I imagine the cutscene itself is probably done but that it introduces the reward that got cut.

    If it's not the Voth Science BOff, I'd imagine it's tied to this Voth's research into why the Sphere is uninhabited or possibly an Omega Particle console/weapon.

    As a T5 reward? I'm going to say it's unlikely, based on the fact that they could just make you grind for another Rep weapon or console.

    Doff seems most likely, but if that's it I will be dissapointed. A Boff would be a much more special reward. Especially if he's got some customisation options :|

    This is also a good guess. Or mayhaps a Voth Citadel ship or City ship... Well probably not the last ones, but hey, one can hope, right??

    If it's a Voth boff, I hope we get the Spec Ops for tactical. Probably won't though.

    The voth Torpedo would be a nice reward, but a Boff (what was that Voth scientist called?) is more likely.

    Then again, perhaps T5 opens a new gate into the delta quadrant and we'll get to wreck some kazon/krenim etc.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    It's a gun that shoots omega particles. Balloons shaped like omega particles, that is.

    I personally think it's an upgraded Transphasic-Chroniton torpedo! There is no reason why they wouldn't offer this weapon again.

    Speculate below!!!

    Better yet, why not make it like a "Bridge Commander" themed Transphasic torpedo. The one that ignores 100% of shields and hits for twice the payload of a Quantum torpedo. :) Give it the same cooldown as the borg torpedo on auto fire and I'll be set.

    with a 10% chance of blowing up your own ship in the process.

    You seem to forget: They also had a nasty tendency to burn your torpedo tubes.

    Yes, you're going to get a special omega particle weapon that wipes out all your enemies light years around you. As a negative consequence once you use it, your sector space travel will be reduces to warp .01 and it will take you hours to move from planet to planet in sector space.

    only if it destroys everything in the instance if you were to blow up while its powered on.

    it'll be "Nerf" guns.


    playable Dyson sphere that moves...


    Ok it's actually a claimable Tardis but because of the perception filter we'll miss seeing it.

    My guess it will be a mission unlock - to go into Voth controlled teritory and save the Voth Scientist... so in essence a Voth Sci BOff
