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.
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.
And do you think they'll have done the retrait/trait expansion by then - so you can take Accurate/Elusive - or will it be a case of rolling an alien that looks Romulan/Reman, eh?

This will be a wall of text, have ten pages of opinions here.
I really want it to be a Romulan faction. And knowing that Dsthal said that they would only do a thrid faction when the KDF is done; best case senario is a update that finishes the KDF and adds the Romulans. So lets hope that they the statement "we will start seeing the benifits of a large crew (came form PWE) from now on (post season 7)." (paraprashed.) If it is Romulan faction I am already sad. They will nerf the Scimitar class . It should be able to fire cannons under cloak and have sheilds up (like it did on screen). It should also have at least one hanger. Someone earlier said that a gaxaly class of the era could beat it. But The Scimitar almost beat a sovergin (which is better than a galaxy) and 2 mogai's. I beleve that Schizion lost for two reasons. One he wanted Picard at the beging of the fight and therefore could not traget critical areas. And two Tori found the Reman telepathically; which (after a torp attack) killed the cloak and then the Enterprise rammed the Scimitar before they could luanch fighters. And that was 40 years ago (roughly) so it should be even better. Fianly I highly suspect that they could have used the thalorn generator under cloak (thats a whole theroy by it self if you want to here pm me), and even if they couldn't that is still a weapon of mass destruction. So no prisoners and kill beatzoids first, then you have a god ship. Therefore it will be nerfed. I however think that the C-store version will have the under cloak ethier cannon or sheild, also the thalorn generator might be saved for this ship two. I presonally think that its more likly to do a C-store pack with this ship over the D'd (Tact could fire under cloak, Sci has hanger (or the Thalorn Generator), Engi has Thalron genartor (or hangar). That's my two cents. Going to go wacth Nemesis now.

Wheeeeeeeeee!
Who knows.. maybe Romulans will be the Epic Faction, that you can only play when you have leveled a character to level 50.. And that starts at level 50.. and in that same update.. we get a new level cap..
What? Don't look at me like that.. I'm not Crazy.. I don't think.....

Hah! Victim ship is thinking to himself... "where the blazes are those fighters coming from!!!?"
What fighters?
They're Romulan fighters with EBC and piloted by Romulans with Subterfuge.
It's more a case that you're sitting there doing your slow circle in CnH and then your screen's filled with plasma torpedoes crashing into you. 12 fighters and the carrier all using Hyper-Plasma Torps, eh?
Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd like to see the D7-class cruiser and the 23rd century bird-of-prey as playable ships, in addition to those Romulan/Reman designs already in-game, too.
Playabale species would probably be Romulan, Reman, Liberated Borg Romulan (lifetime only), Hirogen, Alien and maybe something new (Romulan-allied Ferasans?). Romulans should come with an optional v-ridge.
Yeah, I'm not quite awake yet and was still kind of sleep chuckling at the thread about it when I posted this. Probably karma, the result of my laughing at the folks thinking that May was going to be here in 19 days... that will teach me.

a closer look reveals the first number as years, yep. 20 years and counting to romulus, thats a timeline even cryptic can handle

20 years keeps coming up...
20 years for a Romulan Faction...
20 years for a one man fleet to get to T3 Shipyard...
20 years for me to have the skill to fly a Sci Fleet Norgh...
In TNG the Warbird was supposed to be able to outmatch the Galaxy in almost every way except for max warp speed. The episode where Troi poses as a Tal Shiar agant, the Commander threatens to decloak and destroy the Enterprise and both her and Troi seemed sure that she would be able to do it.
It should be about as tanky as a cruiser with a little less engineering since its not a team healer but a warship. I would like a boff layout like this for it.
Its hull, shield , and manuverablilty stats should be similar to the Fleet Vorcha, maybe slightly lower if they give it a battlecloak.
IF this is legit, what do you guys reckon will be specials for each ship, and what shiptypes do you reckon they will release?
Frankly i hope all romulan ships gets battle cloaks and a way more efficent cloak then klinks. And most of all i WANT that shield inversion beam on the D`deridex warbird.
I think that players of sufficient level in the Federation will be able to play Romulan characters, just like the KDF, however, the Romulan faction will not be a full-fledged faction with its' own unique story lines aside from between levels 1-20 or 25.
At that point the player will decide to join the Federation or KDF with their Romulan character.
Romulans will have a home-world like Sol system. Romulans will have their own racial starships. Romulans will get a tab in the cryptic store.
Romulans will belong to the KDF or Federation, yet at the same time have their own racial hub to buy ships and stuff... just my thoughts on it.

Theres not much there to say a faction, and with all the interviews saying that its unlikely any further playable factions coming in 2013 I would says its either another zone or story branch.
5 months to may they have created a faction I doubt that way to quick, there would be any content for it shame but I don't think so.
It is quite possible that the teaser is only for a feature episode and maybe another Romulan fleet action.

Lol... since the Romulans are the ones that came up with the cloaking, are you picturing the following?
Carrier.
Enhanced Battle Cloak.
Subterfuge.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Think about this:

Paid Expansion.
All Z-Store Ships outside of a basic BoP you get with a special Romulan only character slot available from the Z-Store.
But no requirement to have leveled either a Fed or KDF toon...
...just a major credit card. :P
Hmm.. Or a Life time subscription.. (I recall something being said about more benefits being given to subscribers..)
Think about this:
American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
Free character slot if you buy the expansion? Still have to buy the ships.
D'deridex available as a 3-pack for 6k Zen or individual ships for 3k Zen.
Apex would only be 2k though...ahem, /cough.

If this is the case then Cryptic takes two queues from World of ******** that I think will pertain to the Romulan faction.
1) Romulans start neutral and join one of the two existing factions. (Pandaren)
2) Romulans are a reward race for hitting max level. (Death Knight)
It is quite possible that the teaser is only for a feature episode and maybe another Romulan fleet action.
Doubtful.
Something that piddly wouldn't consume as much resources as it is now. So much so, that some things have been pushed to the backburner.
It's the Rommies in one form of another.
