Seriously Cryptic, what's with all these pet rewards? Don't get me wrong, i loved the Mine Enemy mission but i was hoping for a better reward than just another thing that follows me around. We've got enough pets now to start up an intergalatic zoo...what is this Star Trek Online or Farmvile? May i suggest a Thaleron Tribble or my own little Thaleron generator as a reward or maybe a unique romulan BO? Thanks

    A pet horta hatchling is miles better than a weapon or tribble, this is so full of goodness! I cant smile wide enough :D

    You don't get it. We got a pet Horta. A Horta, that burrows out of the ground next to us when called. I guess you have to be a TOS-fan to get the whole awesomeness of that.:D

    I agree, especially since it was established that the Horta is not a beast, but a sentient non-humanoid being.

    Putting one in as a "pet" smacks of slavery to me.

    Sadly, we're never going to please everyone. We thought this mission reward was pretty cool, and different enough from the few other non-combat social pets we have that a great many of you would enjoy it. OP, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this week's reward.

    I think next week we might have something a little more your style in store, and man...

    Just wait until you guys see the series finale reward!

    Thanks,

    Stormshade

    Horta is more canon than a Tharalon Tribble. :p

    just saying: canon TRIBBLE should watch the series before commenting on what's appropriate.

    It would be nice, with all of our pets, when the customizeable ships come out, we can put the pets we have aquired out.

    OP...it is your addiction to STO that is enraging you, though STO addiction is incurable...we can help alleviate your symptoms....perhaps refering you to a place to purchase a horta plushy.

    Perhaps have a pet bed in the captains quaters where your pets can roam and sleep!

    well i have a bridge that has pet targs all over the place.
    It is nice but my science officer is always hanging over them with her tricorder scanning him for HOURS at a time.
    Not the most efficient use of her time, if you ask me.
    I can imagine being jumped by 10 science officers in defiants spamming SNB and she is still scanning the same targ from a week ago.

    the pet horta is great. not everything has to be the uber weapon to end all weapons. sometime its just fun stuff. people would pay real money on the c-store to have that. if you dont like it there are some decent armours available to help out your character.

    or just possibly the best mission to date might just be the reward in itself?

    Targ
    Endless amount of tribbles
    Sehlat pup
    Horta.


    But on the whole "slavery" and "It's sentient" thing, it's true it's sentient, but I just say it's a young horta who is a new crew member on my ship.

    As mentioned before there are already alot of pets to be had, and another one really isn't really that great, BUT, its only the second reward out of four. I don't mind getting three joke awards if the final reward is seriously sweet.

    And if they do decide to make ship interiors more functional - they could always consider making one of the rooms a petting zoo. lol I would get a kick out of seeing a place where all my tribbles and pets could be displayed at the same time.
