    I hope it's *NOT* a Romulan faction:

    -A May release date doesen't give enough time to make a whole faction's worth of content, regardless of already have a lot of skins, ships, weapons, doffs and characters ingame to suck into it.

    -The Klink faction needs finishing FIRST.

    It's funny, allowing for a moment to slip into the insanity, but were a Romulan faction added - my interest would not be in any of the Romulan/Reman ships.

    I'd be looking at the Hirogen Hunter Escort or Apex Battleship...

    What's wrong with Romulan/Reman ships? They look great. I myself can't wait to get my hands on a D'Deridex or Norexan class.

    Hirogen Apex Battleship

    Hull: 42,500
    Shield Modifier: 1
    Crew: 2000
    Weapons: 4/4 (can use Dual Cannons)
    Device Slots: 4
    X, X
    X, X, X, X

    Consoles: 3 - 4 - 3
    Turn Rate: 9
    Impulse Modifier: 0.15
    Inertia Rating: 20
    +10 Weapon Power
    +5 All Power Levels

    BOFF layout premised on there being fewer available ships, so the ships will be more customizable than their Fed or KDF counterparts...

    Similar such layouts for the Hunter Escort and Huntmaster Dreadnought (which they'd probably make a Carrier launching Seeker Frigates...meh).

    Christ Drunk at that rate why on earth would anyone play Fed/Klinkydink? lol

    you know you like it! i'd consider removing 2k hull and .1 shield mod though. if none of the ships have any staying power, their station setups wont do them much good.

    also npc abilities determining eventual player ship station setups is... silly. it would make the d'deridex a science vessel. its not.

    its a huge ambush decloak striker, they were slaughtered when used as ships of the line in the dominion war. the romulans in the form of the scimitar have proven to be good at making very strong shields, unfortunately there seemed to be a rule that no ship could have shields during the dominion war, except the defiant, and the DS9 station.

    the romulans should be BOP: the faction.

    You are a more reasonable fellow than your beard has led me to believe, Roach-san. I shall do you a great honor and take your words of wisdom to heart... as should we all.

    Ya gotta admit, though, it's nice to fantasize a bit every once in awhile, though.

    Apathy for STO in general hath tempered my metal to something less than just angry but the old wounds of the KDF still ache upon me in the winter of Cryptics/PWEs uncaring for they only see one tree in the forest of STO.

    False alarm, Dev.

    From what I've read of recaps from the chat, it seems that Dstahl pretty much hinted at the faction being a reality.

    And here it is again:

    "Scimitaur ship is reserved for any future Romulan faction" at least points to a RSE eventually. Though the May surprise may just be a start to it instead of the whole as many hope.
    All we can do is wait and see. STO needs to be true multifaction game with many fully fleshed factions to enjoy instead of one faction and two hangers-on.

    I was very happy to see KDF kits are on the way (yay Targ handlers), that the captain of the BortasQu is finally gettong recognized and especially the BOff revamp hint.

    STO has potential to rise above as a jewel in MMOs and even though I am seen as a Klingon troll by many, that lofty perch is something I still wish to see it achieve.

    Speaking of the Borg, ahem - lol - picture the following:

    You're looking at the Will you March? page. The music starts. The screen shakes. The edges begin to glow with that familiar green. A cutting beam starts to tear apart the image on the screen - revealing two simple yet ornate lines:

    We are the Borg.

    There's one serious flaw to this master plan

    Well two actually, if you count the walking animation that makes one appear as though someone rammed a candlestick up ... (You get the picture.)

    The point I was trying to make before my S&M went into overdrive, have you considered how long it would take you to get from point a to point b. More importantly, why would you need to when you can just plug yourself into the nearest socket so to speak

    And then there's the unique costume party the Borg have got going ...

    So what started out as a gleeful :), rapidly descended into :(, and round about the candlestick I was like :eek:

    Borg seven to two: R we going straight?
    Borg two of nine: Hell if I know.
    Borg Uber one: Swivel! Swivel!

    But if I did find myself playing the Borg ... my robot dance emote would hold new meaning to my little world.

    NPC Ships from STOwiki...

    Fighters:

    Reman Scorpion, RSE Scorpion, NRE Scorpion

    Frigates:

    Reman BoP, RSE BoP, NRE Reman BoP, NRE Romulan BoP, Hirogen Seeker Frigate

    Cruisers/Escorts/Science Vessels:

    Reman Mogai Escort, RSE Mogai Escort, NRE Reman Mogai Escort, NRE Romulan Mogai Escort, Hirogen Hunter Escort

    Battleships:

    Reman D'deridex Battleship, RSE D'deridex Battleship, NRE Romulan D'deridex Battleship, NRE Reman D'deridex Battleship, Hirogen Apex Battleship

    Dreadnoughts:

    Reman Scimitar Dreadnought, RSE Scimitar Dreadnought, NRE Scimitar Dreadnought, Hirogen Huntmaster Dreadnought

    Potential others, eh?

    A Valdore-type variant of the Mogai (well, the Mogai's the Valdore - but a variant, perhaps a retrofit/etc).
    Romulan Science Vessel...Talvath.
    Romulan D-7 Battle Cruiser
    Romulan Scout Ship...Pi, Lanora, Theta, Talon.

    And of course that leads into Memory Beta and non-canon/licensed ships: http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Romulan_Star_Navy

    With a few clicks of a mouse, wouldn't take long for Cryptic to offer more Romulan ships than KDF ships once you got into refits/retrofits/fleet...meh.

    edit: You wonder why I listed 2-3 variants of the "same" ship?

    Look at the Reman/Romulan sets. Notice the offensive/defensive nature? Take a look at the Mirror ships. So a mix of that...tada, Reman and Romulan variants.

    Odyssey, Bortasqu', Vesta... yeah, I could see them doing a Z-Store 3-pack of the D'deridex...possibly others as well.
