    More playable ships for all characters is never a bad thing.

    It depends on what it means for the Romulan [half] faction, to be honest. So, yeah... more playable ships can actually be a bad thing.​​

    Not agreeing with someone doesn't give you the right to be an TRIBBLE.

    Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
    - quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;

    Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
    Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.

    That is the issue in my opinion. Because the Romulan's were a half of a faction, there is no reason for their ships to be exclusive. Especially with them being aligned one side or another. For those who were never interested in the half of a faction but do want to try out the ships and singularity cores, this now gives those people a way to enjoy those ships, especially those with alien toons.

    Here's hoping we get a Romulan D7 still at some point. This is one of the few Romulan missing ships I would really like to have.

    No, the Federation is not the Borg. The Federation is the key player in the Alliance along with the other factions. With that comes the sharing of technology which also means having the ships as well, unless the agreement was an exclusive agreement that only those who belong to the Romulan faction can use their ships and no one else. Allowing the Romulans to have access to Federation ships and the Jem'Hadar to have access to Starfleet uniforms as well (coming in maybe September 10 unless it has already come), this was the next logical step. You can play a Romulan and fly only Romulan ships. You do not have to like it. It is not against canon (canon can be built on as well), Kirk in a bird of prey in Voyage Home iirc. It also is not against lore and lore can change. This has nothing to with resistance and there is no reason to resist a move that might prove beneficial for the Romulan faction in the end. Thanks. :)

    - Lore and canon can change if it appears in movies or episodes

    - Kirk in a Bird of Prey (Briefly tough, not as one of his shipyard ships from then on) in Voyage Home is hard canon as it appears in a movie. Why then we all are not be able to fly a Bird of Prey? Because that is a Klingon and not a Romulan one perhaps?

    - How it would be beneficial for the Romulan faction to see its unique features diluted in this Federation take out? They didn't need fed ships at all, but more ships of their own.

    - And yes, I'll continue to fly only Romulan ships with my Romulan, Klingon ones with my Klingon and Fed ones with my Federation characters. You are welcome :)

    I like how every non-fed faction in cryptic's game always gets its TRIBBLE destroyed and wiped the floor with. Klingons recovering from all their losses from the iconians. The Romulans utterly destroyed once again showing how the Republic are bunch of weaklings yet somehow manage to get 70% of the RSE navy to join them whilst renouncing the Romulan Star Empire in favour of a unstable Republic on the leash of the Federation.

    Now they are giving up their ships (fueled by mini black holes!!!!!) for federation ships.... Cryptic subtly way of saying **** you Romulans/Klingons. It's Federation or get the **** out. I have lost count of how many bloody federation factions we have now in the game.

    Basically means that unless you want a specific visual on a ship you'll actually use for more than a session at argala then getting the romulan version of the cross faction clones will be the way to go for those bought purely for a trait.

    To each their own opinion, I guess.
    For me, this is another nail in the Romulan's half faction's coffin, because they're taking away the best reason to play Romulan: using their ships. Now, I may rage and get a massive headache every time I actively choose to do so - because singularity cores and energy levels are not a good mix by any stretch of the imagination - but I'm very proud and happy to do so with my Rom toons, whatever race they are.
    If you took that unique ability away, why should anyone play that faction? Only for the story arc? Sure, it's quite beautiful - hands down my favourite one, actually - but that's not enough.
    I wouldn't be surprised if they just shafted the faction alltogether now, making it more like the AoY one, just available for both Starfleet and KDF toons alike and making those toons effectively part of one or the other, depending on what you choose to play.

    Still, the decision has been made and there's not much point in wishing they'd just go back on it - they never do - it's just way sooner than expected.

    If you took that unique ability away, why should anyone play that faction?

    For Romulan only captain traits and because the Romulan faction is the only way to fully man a ship with SRO's.

    Personally I have no desire for my KDF, Fed, etc to captain a Romulan ship...BUT, I will definitely take advantage of them being available for Admiralty missions.

    Except this isn't happening, as you can still use Romulan ships while playing as a Romulan.

    I never said they were changing that. So, your point is invalid.
    Anyway, the patch is in now... nothing we can, as they never listen. Enjoy your singularity on your FED toon, because you don't care about anything else than that faction... Have fun! :D​​
