meh dissappointing - if after all this hughe countdown and secrecy - all you get is some crappy lockboxes and zen TRIBBLE and "news" for a patch in another 2 months.
Defiance beta is starting and game goes live in april... im bored of sto and i doubt ill just wait another 2 months for "improvements to milk more money".
"Romulus and Remus are past. You're one of the survivors and struggling with the aftermath of the destruction.
These are dark and dangerous times for your people, the Tal Shiar tolerates no opponents and a mysterious creature spreads terror among the scattered colony worlds.
You must build the Empire again. Gather allies goes into the ground and mobilize your people.
Together you will lift you and ask for your freedom. You will fight for your people.
I would hedge a guess that yes a Romulan faction is announced. But it begins with a story mission leading up to the large scale Tal Shiar force claiming they are the rightful leaders of the Romulan empire.

Basically EVERYHING screams "ZEN MOAR ZEN" - unlock "special " traits and reorganize, Access warbirds, Play as a new faction (unlock char slots) And new reputation project for what you need to nonstop farm boring - most likely new "ground" missions - and the nstill spend insane amoutns of dil to get the gear.
There is nothing abotu any improvements - just mroe milking and delayign to make most out of the game before it completley crashes.

Yes, did you not get the memo that the game costs money to make, and exists to make money? As always you can play for free and spend zero dollars, it'll just take longer to accomplish things.

Adding new missions for KDF so they can do missions from 1-50 is a long awaited improvement. Being able to customize the UI palette is a long awaited improvement. The addition of a totally new faction with new traits, missions, and ships, for free, is a massive, massive improvement. The addition of new content (Tholians and Iconians) is an improvement.
It's incredible how far you will contort yourself to cry about even the most positive news.

lol, i for just once am LOOKING FORWARD to finally have a reason to throw some cash on Cryptic. i may also go for LFT.
D'Deridex 3 pack 5000 Zen
BOP 3 pack (with phased/advanced Battle Cloak) - 5000 Zen
4 Toon slots 1065 Zen
DOFF Slots and DOFF Packs - some 3000 Zen
yeah, i surely will be thanking them with some 300-500 EUR in may.
had no reason to do so for a loooong time.
hoping for a BUNCH of new hair options, a TOS pack, couple of constumes for all existing factions, perhaps also Romulan and KDF off-duty costumes (or their merge with the uniforms).

You are the heir of Romulus."
Lol. Google Translate makes a mess. AGAIN.
Still, it is funny, looking at stuff like "Together you will lift you and ask for your freedom." or "Romulus and Remus are past." or "Gather allies goes into the ground and mobilize your people."
Edit: Here's some more of the translation from German to English, just for fun.
"Romulan captain to take command of the powerful warbird starships. Drives the machine to the limits and unleashing new singularity cores."
Or this one:
"PLAY AS ROMULANS
Play as Romulans or Remans and dives into new treatment of missions that were written exclusively for the Romulan Republic."
"Denise Crosby returns with her role as Empress Sela. Plays a political cat-and-mouse game and covers the intrigue around the destruction of Romulus."
"Discovers the horrible truth behind a mysterious new enemy who wants to terrorize the Beta Quadrant and wipe your people."
"THOLIANISCHER REPUTATION
Fight for this new Ruffraktion against Tholian and unlock exclusive rewards and benefits for a maximum level Captains."
"NEW IMPROVED FEATURES
Fits your existing properties to new. Unlock new features and improved skills to specialize your captain and your crew even further."
"
Selects the HUD colors to suit your taste. Experienced a new and improved UI with better options and interactions."
Who says you can't have a lot of fun by simply browsing the Internet...?
Re-edit: OOPS. Copy-pasted the HUD thing from the wrong website. Correcting...
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

They updated the site just a few minutes ago so it just displays the counter.
You're a tiny bit too late I'm afraid.
That would explain it I guess...
Nice one Cryptic...Who goofed this time round?? not a good thing to let the cat out of the bag early...
That being said.. WOOOT Romulan faction :cool:
Should be the first result. Click on Cached.
