I was just looking at the discripstion for Keratel White--it has different effects for Jems (and tibbles). SO...we're probably getting a damned Jem BO. Yeah, most of us already knew that, but it's still disappointing that they can't come up with a unique FE reward.
Two ways they can get around CBS. They're not allowed to just release them right? So why not have the ship in the c-store, but have a special one time claim unlock on it for completing the featured series? It's not the same as just giving it away. The other solution would be to offer CBS a share of the profit made off of the ship. Like maybe 60% of the cost. Then they can't argue that they got nothing for it, and they'd get money for each ship. And we get a ship; Cryptic gets money and happy players; and CBS gets money.
Or, make it a special unlock code. Perhaps CBS could rerun some old Star Trek episodes and have a promotional code pop up every once in a while, 1 per account.
I personally just don't have enough BoFF space, so I don't want another one.

christ -.-
they CANT go around CBS , they have to run everything through them
the reason the jem hadar ship and the galor havent been available as in game purchased or c-store purchased and grab-bag only is because CBS don't want non starfleet / KDF ships in the game en-masse

Doubt they WANT to get around CBS .... since they are making a lot of money with Lockboxes

Because at least 25% of the players might pay for it .... not exactly "ultra-rare"
So why would i spend 100$++ on Lockboxes, if i can buy one for 2500CP at the end of th FE ....

I meant that after the event is over, they could release a tier 1 version in the c-store. And CBS could charge them for each one sold. It would allow CBS to make money, and allow Cryptic/Perfect World to finally have a way to please the players.
Well, I think it's safe to say that the special reward Isn't a Jem'Hadar since we can get a Jem'Hadar on the next to last mission.
there is the outside possibility that it is still the series reward, and they just attached it to episode 4 instead of 5 and it will go away in a few weeks time, but it would suggest that it is in fact something new for ep 5, which i fully welcome.
I hope it's a Jem Hadar Fighter. You know, the shuttle sized ones.
It looks as if this is going to be the case, based on the gear that we've been offered as rewards and the fact that we were just offered the anticipated Jem'Hadar bridge officer. Specifically, the shuttlecraft polaron beam array, combined with the space set, seems to suggest that a Jem'Hadar fighter is on its way.
The regular reward has to be the Jham'Hadar Space Shield (Resilient) MK XI ... and then the special reward which is either the Episode 4 Jham'Hadar tactical buff OR sumfin new in Episode 5 which might be the space suit or a Tholian duff ... LOL

Ehh Tholian doff will most likely be through the next FE which is planed to be the Tholian one. Hmm I am very puzzled by what the end series reward will be now my guess might be a Jem'Hadar attack fighter/shuttle.
Gawd, I hope it's not a Jem'Hadar Fighter. Feds have a TON of small craft as it is (doubtless with more on the way, you can quote me on this), and there's currently only two missions where they're actually useful. I'd love to see more small craft for the KDF, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather see ships like the Orion Interceptor and such than one of these.
If it WERE a ship, a Bug would be awesome, but I would be ecstatic if it would be one of the big ships. Probably will never happen, but one can dream...

I want it specifically for my KDF main that spends most of his time in a bugship. Also, if you've been paying attention you'll notice that in the last two FE series, both of them had a shuttle only mission, so it stands to reason that future FE series will also have shuttle missions.
Also, I agree that KDF needs more shuttles, orion interceptors and the like.
I'd say it's a playable Jem'Hadar character or Cardassian. It's unlikely to be a ship, and we already got the Boff and the Doffs. The space suit is the next most possible thing, but with only one mission that uses it I find that unlikely.
I hope its that we get to keep the spacesuit from the final mission. or if we get the Dark Tron armor the guards had that would be okey.
only problem i have is i would like the armor but it should be done in a way that if its supposed to be like on-par with MACO gear or a variant we should be able to use crafting to upgrade it, not easily of course probobly some EDCs needed. thats what i dont like about FE sets they are special but become quickly useless pretty fast.
so if it is the armor or space suit we should be given ways to upgrade it to become more usefull and possible make it MK XII

I find that unlikely. All the previous bonus rewards were done for completing the whole series and were attached to the final episode. They were also unique and this Jem'Hadar isn't.

Not only that, but they make far more money doing it the way they are now.

Besides the space shield, ground melee weapon, that is.
At this point I agree with you.
