So far, most of vet rewards have been good, but not great.
How about a ship? There would be three different ships, with three different skins, but they would all be custom. They would have such consoles as hyper phaser spread, Polaron Pulse cannon, and other such insane things. You couldn't buy them at the zen-store, they would only be available to veterans.
Anyone Got any ideas?

They get to refine 16K of Questionite every day.

That would be Champions Online. City of Heroes doesn't deal with Questionite.
I definitely agree.
But... if history is a clue, it isn't going to happen.
I'm fed up with cruisers.
Fixed it...

How about a wells class with universal BO slots? Or at least three versions of it....
I could definitely go for a U.S.S. Einstein!
I could definitely go for a Wells Class ship.
What I think is the more interesting question is how powerful it's going to be. Normal T5 or fleet ship? And if it would only be normal T5 would there be a way to upgrade it?
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
Cruiser: An altered sovereign with a spinal lance phaser, only this one has massive range and damage, and can fire 90 degrees, or about as large as a torpedo firing arc. It would be mounted between the nacelles.
The skins would have different ships, one being the sovereign, another the premonition (star trek armada the original), and yet another the avenger.
The special ability would be the phaser of course, and at least 2 universal bridge slots.
Tactical: This would be a winged ship, similar to a romulan escort, but with starfleets own special touch. The wings would be more sinister and curved toward the front. There would be a defiant like saucer on the front, and it would be able to mount 5 weapons in the front.
The skins would be differing takes on the same thing (like regular ships), one would have a romulan flavor, another klingon, and another cardassian.
The special ability would of course be a cloak, but it would be a phase cloak, but if you decloaked inside of anything, it would be instant death. 1 universal bridge slot.
Science: A ship with two long saucers mounted to one hull with a massive deflector. The ship would also have 3 nacelles. (think like voyager saucers)
Skins would be different saucers and different hulls, but the same design.
Special ability would be like the enterprises ability in "best of both worlds". The massive deflector energy pulse.
If want drawings, I can post them to this forum.
Good ideas?
This please.
Of course, that too. I mean, its 1000 days. Thats like what? Three and a half years?
Approximately 2 years and 9 months. There are 365 days to a year. Please carry on with the thread.
And according to everything I've read over the years, 1k Vet will be the last veterans reward so we might as well go out with a BANG!
A tactical cube with a sphere pet That launches from it. Or with probe hangerdecks. That would be very SPEEEECCHHHAALLL!
So they are going to turn off the lights before 1100 days?
There will not be an 1100 day veterans reward. The plan is to stop the veterans reward program at 1000 days.
As long as they don't stop it at 999 days.
This would not do well to represent or denote a 1000 day veteran since everyone has access to the Zen Store.
It's actually 8,640,000 seconds.
on the subject - we are suposta get a ship just for us, which depending on the looks and console slot's is a nice send off... personally I'd kinda like to see a special dance emote for us, with a laser light show that emits from our feat.

It's also much harder and more tedious to earn Questionite than it is to earn Dilithium. I figure we got double Questionite refinement because they surmised that for about 99% of people it would be absolutely useless and not effect the economy one iota.
Also the QStore prices are... surprisingly worse.
Actually there's my guess. We'll start getting veteran lockboxes at 1000, we'll still have to buy the keys ofcourse.
The devs have not said there won't be veteran rewards past 1000 days. The plan was to have 100 day veteran rewards up to 1000 days, but when information about 1000 days was posted in an Ask Cryptic, there was over a year before they had to come up with a decision to go beyond it. After 1000 days, they could keep it at 100 days between each reward, change the length between the next rewards, or scrap it.
Until the devs have said there is no more vet rewards after the next one, then anything about the possibility of future vet rewards is pure speculation.
From August 2011 Ask Cryptic
Sounds more like they have not decided what to do after 1000 days at that time rather than
no more veteran rewards. Given that this is an MMO which has plans constantly changing and was from 11 months ago, then a dev response is required to put these speculations to rest.
I have not seen any Dev statement saying there would be rewards past 1,000 days, though. Not on the STO forum or the CO forum. I do not expect to see one past the 1,000 days, though. Considering how FTP works only old-timer LTS members would benefit from it; and that's really not enough people for them to commit manpower to keep creating the Rewards, IMO.
Dstahl has bluntly said they have no plans to continue veteran rewards after 1000. That means the plan is very specifically not to, not that they haven't decided. It's just said in such a way to indicate that the plan in question could change (but probably won't).
In case you haven't noticed they're not overly fond of having to make Vet rewards. In fact, they're not really big on subscriptions at all these days. They already tried to reduce the Vet Rewards once before (they tried to axe 600, 700, 800 and 900 and replace them just 750 and 1000 after the 500 Day point)... and only a metric butt-tonne of complaints got them to rethink that, and at that point we had an established system and the fact that it was sprung on us last minute on our side. Now they've made it abundantly clear that they plan to end the system after 1000, so when we gripe they can say, "Hey, that was the plan! You knew it was coming!"
Regardless, we'll likely know for certain in September, as the 5th will be the 1100 Day anniversary of Champions Online. If the CO devs don't stop to acknowledge this and suggest that they're making their own 1100 Day Veteran Reward (which will likely be late, since the last two were about a month late a piece) then you can just about 101% sure that the STO Vet Reward program is dead and buried too.
