    Whoa, 2 Million accounts, really? Is that showing ALL accounts, or does it snip out spammer accounts that have been banned? And does it reflect on active accounts, or does it include inactive ones as well?

    Yep, I was just about to post that I was disappointed that this exclusive reveal really didn't reveal anything new or exclusive except 2 seconds of Tasha Yar speaking. Then I saw the last 2 seconds. Looks like it's back to the Romulan front for us.

    I'm not sure there are 2 million accounts, as it actually says 2 million "captains". I'd say I own four or five of those, so the number of players is quite a bit lower than that - maybe somewhere in the range of 200,000 - 400,000? Just a guess, of course.

    Can't wait to meet Tasha Yar, though! Way to go, Cryptic! :D

    You have to take averages into account: There are 10 Million ships in service, but only 2 million captains, an average of 5 ships per captain. I know I have around 20+ ships on my main (and about 5ish on my other 2 characters), so there must be a fair few people with just 1 or 2 to offset me.

    So even if it's counting characters per account, there's still going to be a lot of accounts that have just 1 or 2 characters.

    It means that Romulan players will get the same treatment the Klingon players have gotten over the last three years. :P

    It can mean only one thing

    Cardassian faction. :D

    Seriously im hoping and praying this is a rommie faction. what else would they promote this far in advance to do with romulans?

    they said season 8 is more like an expansion to the point of not even calling it season 8, they have mentioned they are addressing the issue with factions this year.

    klingons have come a long way from virtually nothing. id quite frankly take the same treatment for romulans if it gets them in the game.

    But the video allowed for some additional speculation for the next couple of hours as you saw both ships in combat...

    Indeed. The Ambassador was turning quite fast for a cruiser. I'm going to say a turn rate of 9 or 10.

    Three beam arrays and a torp firing would be four weapons fore.

    Looks great, though 16,500 fleets?! I'm going to say without massive changes 99% will never ever see Tier 5 (even then, that'd be 165 max-level starbases). I'm sure the vast majority are solo fleets (for banking purposes) or dead (no active members for an arbitrarily long period of time).

    I don't know, anyone will assume it's some kind of Romulan faction. And someone is always pissed off about something. Not really a reason not to do it. :o

    Fabulous video! If anyone out there does not want to play this game after watching that video they need their head examining.

    It did a great job of rounding up the past year and setting the scene for what is to come. :D

    Considering the split of the Romulans/Remans - it may be continuing the ongoing story of what's going on with them...where players work to help the "good" R&Rs while fighting the "bad" R&Rs.

    New adventure zone - new invasions...etc, etc, etc... leads me to believe it's more about Romulan - Tal Shiar - as an enemy faction rather than a player faction.

    She introduced herself anyway, so no need to speculate. But since it's all some temporal Q mumbo-jumbo, the episode could be about anything... :P
