I'd like to request a small change to the Veteran Reward

The reward its self and the spirt behind it is fine...I have no issues with the existance of a veteran's reward, but I have a concern with one of the rewards.

The Captain's Yacht...the idea of the Captain's yacht is a pretty Fed/Starfleet-centric concept. I dont ever remember hearing of a Klingon Captain's Yacht...so my first assumption is that this is yet another Fed/Starfleet focused content addition. The creatio of yet another Fed-centric addition is where I'd have problem. If it is a Fed only item, then I'd once find myself wondering about the Devs ability to truly think multi-factional with respect to the game...as a Klingon exclusive player, i'd find myself once again feeling like a second class portion of the community.

So, at the very least, I'd hope they have Klingon Captain's Yachts or the ability customize the yacht and use on either side.

Or considering the apparent non-canon use of Captain's yachts by the Klingons, I'd much rather see the inclusion of a Klingon alternative to the yacht. No since the yacht is just a small hop conceptually(still an upgrade) from the Shuttle Craft already offered as bonus content. I'd like to see a current Klingon bonus content item upgraded also.

In this case, i'd like to see the Klingon-centric Veteran's Reward be an uograded Targ. Lets do away with that cute and cuddly Targ-let, and give us a full grown battle Targ like that of a respectable Klingon warrior. Give us a big, ugly, heaving, scratching, snorting, adult Targ that we can walk around the Starbase or sit at our feet on our bridge with pride. Let it be customizable with varying(but reasonable...please no purple fur) tusk patterns, fur colorations and patterns. Let me hav a mangy Targ with flies buzzing around it, let me have well maniured Targ with a large mane. Allow us to choose if we want battle armor or at least small combat accessories(like that of a war horse).

Lets be honest, that lil baby Targ is a waste of coding and space, you only get ridiculed when you pull it out.

Bear in mind, it doesnt have to actually be of combat use for PvP or PvE...but lets be real, it could. Why not give it a minor damage output of 1-2 HP...or let it be a customizable replacement for Combat drones deploymed by Engineers(so the skill points for drones wil be a sleeper skill for a combat handler).

    just because we've never heard or seen one, doesn't mean they don't exist. Some Klingons may well have a "personal" ship as far as anything we've ever seen on the screen shows us.

    I'm assuming the Captain's Yacht will be a non combat party barge like the one in SWG.

    if memory serves it was shown dropping from the enterprise during star trek insurection .. the OP is correct it was pretty much a big fat shuttle with those bendy nacelles and it seemed to attach directly to the enterprise hull . while i doubt this is the system they will use for it it does some like a cool toy to have , even if it is just a SWG party barge varient

    im not sure how fair a full grown customiseable targ would be when given as a klingon alternative to the barg . after all as you described it can follow you around the station looking fierce and impressive .. unless our barge can do the same thing it would be kinda mean ... i would love to see a klingon version of the yacht though . while i admit klingons arent likely to have gone for such froo froo behaviour surely theres some plausable comparison for the klingons ( maybe a troup dropship thats been converted for klingon partys )

    anyway if you guys get pet targs what pets do we get ? personally ill take a risan or orion slavegirl to follow ME around earthbase ...

    just sayin
