As I indicated in my thread over in general, the upcoming removal of many episodes from the Romulan chain will remove a few unique mission rewards. (Numiri shield, special engines, etc)

If these rewards aren't going to be moved to the 4 new episodes, it would be nice if they could be added to the crafting system instead. The assets already exist in game, and currently there is no special Level 15 shield, just the Aegis one, which requires an Aegis boff to craft - not a Shields boff.
Just a thought...

Has anyone got a list of the unique rewards that'll disappear with the new missions?
Preemptive Strike
Ovecharged Plasma Sniper Rifle
Personal Covariant Shield
S'Harian's Swords
Numiri Regenerative Shield Array
Combat Hyper-Impulse Engines
Prototype Gravitic Modulation Impulse Engines
It is also worth noting that non-unique rewards in the Romulan chain also had some pretty good mods (Rare with Accx2 or CrtDx2). This is less relevant in the post crafting-revamp and ugprade world, but made for some good starter gear.

Simple and to the point, heh.

The [Acc]x2 plasma weapons are still available.
Excellent news on the Overcharged Sniper.
I'm hoping they carry over the rewards from S'Harien's Swords too - hoping to use the Numiri on one of my alts' Steamrunners - no way I'll get there in time without skipping missions, which I swore I wouldn't do on this alt.
