ETA on a Klingon 100 Vet Reward?

Title says it all. We know that the reward is a Federation only combadge, any chance for the Klingons to get something similar?

    Oh you think we are getting 100 vet reward? Hah! Apparently all we are getting is shoulder pads that get an update every hundred days.

    In addition to a missing 100 day vet reward, you'll notice we are missing sashes after BG and LtG Jacket reward equivalent of the admirals jacket. However cranking out that c-store content doesn't interfere with game development.

    I think they should ditch the existing costume rewards, personally. Have the Klingon upgrading cloak/shoulders start at 100 days, not 200, so that they get a cloak at 200.

    The Federation combadge is largely irrelevant since the uniform and combadge will be for sale. Reassign the jacket somewhere else (maybe as a dress uniform you get for your first promotion ceremony).

    Then have the Feds get upgrading vet rewards costumes similar to the Klingons, starting at 100 days. My vote there is the Future Imperfect Ensign combadge. Unlock another rank every 100 days and then at 500-600 days unlock Admiral Picard's uniform from Future Imperfect.

    Overall, I prefer the idea of a simple art asset for each faction that improves every 100 days, starting at 100 days, and then opens up a full costume at 500 days. That gives every tier a more tangible reward and seems more doable with lots of factions, rather than devoting a ton of effort to evening out the ones we have.

    I wouldn't put it past Cryptic to do something like this with their history, but are you sure the combadge is included with the uniform? I checked the EP and it only had the AGT uniform on there, nothing about the badge. Is there something else that was stated?

    I don't mind Cryptic expanding C-store and all, but they need to make some items exclusive. I mean what's the point of reward like vet reward or even referral program if everything eventually ends up in c-store.

    They show the badge with the uniform in the marketing video. Also, what other badge are you gonna wear with it?

    I have no problem with the KDF rewards (which I think should start at 100 days instead of 200 to give existing vets a better jumpstart on coolness) but I think they should probably scratch the Fed vet rewards for something similar, because this is the model vet rewards should take in a game that aspires to have 4+ factions in the next 12 months or so. A simple item with regular upgrades. (As it stands, some of those vet rewards don't have any noticeable improvements. I'd take smaller vet rewards for something that offers a noticeable change every 100 days.)

    Well I'm not convinced that the badge is included. They could have just been showcasing the uniform. However if that is true, then that is really kinda low and stupid.

    I really wouldn't object if they just scrap existing vet rewards (while providing another way to earn them or just hand them out) and devise a new and more consistent system that feels less like oddball table scraps that will wind up on the C-Store anyway. And I don't mean that as an insult to the artists or designers, just that I think the whole system needs a more cohesive vision.

    And I think the Klingon reward indicates a template for that vision... But they should start KDF rewards at 100 days and revamp the existing system to match it, while reassigning existing vet rewards.

    Yeah you keep saying that. Problem is, you have people who like their vet rewards. For the feds at least, this was what they laid out. Also come 300 days we all get an extra character slot and I'd assume the fireworks emote that blows from your ships butt is available to both factions. I have been eagerly awaiting both rewards. What about those who want the access to the captains table and the vanity ship, which is due in another hundred days?

    Similar to Champs going FTP not takig anything away from subscribers, you don't LOSE your rewards under my proposal. You keep whatever you've already got. But the carrot for vet rewards changes to something reliable and consistent that can be done for all factions.

    I'm well aware of what is missing on the Klingon Side, I have a capped LtG Klingon. I was asking about the 100 day klingon reward, since there's been recent dev talk about the 200 day reward. Figured it was a good time to bring up the 100 day reward in a civil manner.

    My apologies. However, it hasn't been stated that we would receive a 100 day reward. However, knowing that all we're getting is shoulder pads now for the 200 reward, I would very much like a 100 day vet reward too. Hopefully we'll get some kind of response to this.
