Let me start by saying that this thread contains spoilers from the story line so if anyone isnt fully caught up.... why arent you? The missions are easy, you have no reason to be behind. But seriously, this thread will contain spoilers so be warned.
Now then, for over a month now we've known that the Iconian arc is going to end when the Alliance completes the Krenim Time Ship. However, we dont know what the target will be. Some people might think of the obvious: Iconia. Just stop the Iconians from ever existing. Thats the basic story from the Year of Hell ep from Voyager. However, no Iconians could change a LOT. Without even worrying about changing events during the Iconian's time, their tech and portals have had a lot of influence in Star Trek since TNG. So just simply removing the Iconians from the time line would change way too much.
So im wondering what other possible targets could there be?

The Krenim should have been introduced during the "Delta Quadrant" Arc.
Fixed by Typhoon_Class_Want.
Should have been... I'm going to kill a beagle wearing a ENT MACO uniform every time you write that from now on
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

I can read between the lines. Now... fix your signature.
Well that took an unexpected turn
I'm getting a better shot of the Typhoon soon for my sig, something other than a side shot. You'll just have to gaze at the adorable Norway until then.

I'm interested in knowing what your signature is from. I've been idly wondering since I first saw it.
More seriously: in truth, I'm not sure what they could target but I'm pretty sure what Sela said about them will come into play. The Iconians can't time travel due to how their minds work, so whatever gets erased will somehow have a ripple effect on the Iconians themselves
The universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke.
It'll go wrong... that's guarenteed.
As for the sig.. one of my fleeties drew it.
I was going to use it for foundry propoganda however I never finished the mission.
If you target iconia, all of us are gone. ALL OF US.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Really? Do tell.
there would be so many changes that it'd probably rearrange the galaxy itself...
My character Tsin'xing
They were specifically talking about shielding things from unwanted effects of things being removed from the timeline. Of course, targeting a planet has far reaching effects beyond just the Alliance ships, so while anyone with the temporal shielding would be preserved, the effects across the galaxy would be quite pronounced indeed.

Eliminating that allows us to gain the upper hand in the war, without destroying ourselves in the process.
Kinda shocked here how some people seem not to realize how the weapon actually works and the ramifications of that.

Saying that, we need to find out what the Other One is before we can try that.
A Romulan Strike Team, Missing Farmers and an ancient base on a Klingon Border world. But what connects them? Find out in my First Foundary mission: 'The Jeroan Farmer Escapade'
10 mil Ec says it's the player.
Hobus is the more interesting target.
See, they decided to make the Iconians the overarching supervillains behind everything.
The destruction of Romulus, the Undine, the Fed/Klingon war, the Vaadwuar, the spheres..
So get rid of them and... you... don't have a game. Which is great if this is how they're planning to shut down STO.
Timeline erased, cut to our character cataloging gaseous anomalies in a Miranda junker, server goes down.
This. So much this. We'll use it and end up destroying everything except ourselves, because we have "temporal shielding". We'll find a way to undue it, Sela will come charging to the rescue with the Dominion to buy us time. And somehow, not sure how, we'll undue the preserver from getting killed and he'll save us all.
In other news, where's my T6 Vesta? :P
Where *is* the Dominion during all this? Has no one though to go talk to Odo about the whole galaxy crushing threat?
It's amazing that their first idea is "untested, inherently unstable superweapon developed by inscrutable people and methods that may compromise everything we hold dear"
It's Mass Effect 3 all over again.
10 umm thousand EC says it's the Devidians.
