    Whoa ... that's a lot of interviews! :eek:

    Thank you, DStahl! I'm looking forward to whatever it is that's coming in May.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    mm ... many words but few actual information on the upcoming updates. Stahl just loves to talk, does he?

    Neo, you have an awesome signature!

    I will savour the mystery until the great, anticipated revelation. Playable Romulan/Reman faction? Maybe. :cool:

    So Tholian and Deferi reputations? Interesting. I take it the Tholians won't be as hostile to us as they are now.

    And the Federation and Klingon Empire pondering on their war? Well, I hope you think about why the war is supposed to be raging (you know, Undine infiltrators) and why it's apparently not raging (they're together against the Borg, understandable. But both helping D'Tan on New Romulus!? Nonsense).
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Some good interviews, although Dan seems to be playing his cards fairly close to his chest regarding the plans for the future. :P Even so, it's nice to see his dedication, both to the game itself and the IP, shining through in each interview.

    This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!

    Being tight-lipped is vastly preferable to making empty promises. We'll have to agree to disagree on the rest.
    I'll sell you some weapons from New Romulus. Never fired, only dropped once.

    Ah, right. Well, as I say, it does make at least some sense to join against the Borg.

    But then again: Nukara and the Tholians. Same thing as New Romulus.

    Season 8 is supposed to be "big" for the KDF.
    Now Cryptic is "reluctant" to call it a season.
    Read between the lines.
    KDF screwed again.

    I'm hoping that the 1-20 content gap is filled in this season, so I can point at all the naysayers who're interpreting everything Dan and other Cryptic reps say as KDF is screwed and laugh at you all.

    You'll probably be too busy playing the new content, but I'll laugh anyway.

    Um, Dan Stahl has stated multiple times that he is reluctant to call it a Season anymore because it is much *BIGGER* than a standard Season. :)

    Hmm. I wonder what that could be... Series/game finale, maybe? :P
