    I'm excited but also very worry. I worry that this so called "Romulan faction" is romulan only in name. The "strory box" suggests that we are going to play as unificationists and not members of the Romulan Star Empire. Why does cryptic try to turn federation into warriors and Romulans into peace-loving pockemon collectors?
    If that is the case I will just have to ignore all the official storyline and create backstory for my characters to make them proud members of the Romulan Star Empire.

    She's my new avatar :cool:

    I find her very pretty, just like the vulcan girl on the front page.

    But then, the human male looked handsome so its a trend.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    It dosn't mention unificationists at all.

    it says;
    "Romulus and Remus are gone. You are one of the survivors, struggling to survive in the aftermath of unspeakable destruction.

    These are dark and dangerous times for your people, as the Tal Shiar crack down on any dissent and mysterious beings unleash terror throughout the far-flung colony worlds.

    You will be the one to reshape an empire. Gather allies, go undercover and find the proof that will rally your people to revolt.

    Together, you will rise up against an oppressive regime and demand freedom. You will fight for your people.

    You are the Legacy of Romulus."

    It makes sense they become the "Romulan Republic", they always used a Roman theme.

    Governments change in life and in fiction, it's the way of things.

    I am worried about game stability, season 7 was a near game breaking experience for my pc.

    That being said, I am eager to play as a Romulan.

    Jolantru.

    I also plan to feature the "Romulan Republic" in my Star Trek: Starfinder audio series.

    I'm really insterested in how this will impact PvP. Will we have 3 sides in PvP instead of two? I sure hope so as it will make odd number matches more fun with the free-for-all type of play with 3 players and a form of deathmatch with no sides at all. What about other races besides Romulan and Reman? Hirogen definitely should be an option amoung many others.

    Think it will still be 2 sides, just the Romulan and Reman will be allied to fed or kdf,

    Although it's nice getting a Romulan faction, I'm concerned the same thing will happen like it did to the KDF. The game still feels very beta in many aspects and they just want to throw out more stuff to reel in the money (from my perspective anyway). Let's just hope they do this faction properly and implement the new changes better than they have in the past.

    I wonder if the Feds are still fighting the KDF. Will we see the end of the war along side the new faction? And naturally a new and far more dangerous one!

    Great news for STO. I'm very excited to play a Romulan faction, but I'm going to have to say I'm going into this with a lot of caution. I really hope that Cryptic has enough original content for both KDF and Romulans to support them. Nothing silly like "here is eight original missions now go grind buggy exploration missions."

    Either way congrats Cryptic for this bit of news. Should be interesting to see how it all works out.

    Pretty much to all the people saying things like 'not impressed' and 'oh, it's not enough' or 'they added the wrong thing'....

    Go play and bug the devs in another game. This expansion, if it contains all the things it says it will is what pretty much most of the forum complaints have been about. We get Romulans, Klingons get 'finished', new traits, retraiting and well, look just a lot. If you're not happy with it, then go back to real life. It looks awesome, it looks like a lot of hard work has gone into it and most of the non-constructive criticism is borderline trolling. Wait until it comes out before you start bashing it. At least then you'll actually know what the **** you're talking about...

    Thank you very much for what looks like it will be an awesome expansion.

    Oh... and bring back handsome phaser guy.

    It remains to be seen if they are "finished" and up to par wit the federation faction. I really hope they are, lord knows the klingons need it. I just wonder hoe awesome the klingon faction would/could have been had they focused on them and left the romulan faction for another time. Congratz to everyone who finally get what they want. I hope its everything you want it to be. I guess we will find out when it hits tribble.

    Honestly that what I though was going to happen. Finishing KDF first then doing the RSE that is.

    Have to just wait and see on how complete a job they do with it all though. They certainly picked one hell of a task for themsleves though. 1 and 1/2 faction plus a character UI revamp (the second one.. the first revamp did clean up a lot of things). The RSE will also have to have a fleet base system.. thats going to be a lot of work..and it'll need fleet ships too.

    Curious as to what the RSE ship classes will be... and there will be a RSE carrier of some sort or two... so many questions waiting to be answered yet.

    i am wondering how this will change the mechanics of pvp. FvKvR? free-for-all? will feddies and rommies both spawn in the kdf spawn in kerrat?

    i too wonder how this will affect play in ker'rat...
    Don't know why it says i'm an ARC user. i will never use that TRIBBLE Cryptic!

    It says Romulan Republic instead Romulan Star Empire and about revolt against regime - my guess, the unificationists from the New Planet create Romulan Republic and fight against Romulan Star Empire. Players unfortunately will be shafted into the wrong faction (RR).

    Does that mean that everyone will be sitting in an arena looking at empty space becuse everyone is cloaked (assuming Rommi ships have a cloak) .

    It doesn't matter if the trolls troll. They are just Tal Shiar agents trying to instill propaganda against the new Republic.

    Pieces Pieces everywhere......

    While glad the Romulans will be getting a full faction, I'm still curious if there won't be only a token bone thrown to us in the KDF, simply moving the starting level to 1 doesn't a full faction make.

    New UI looks good +

    New KDF C-Store ships?? been quite awhile since we've seen any love in the store windows

    Tholian Rep +/- While fighting Tholians is fun, wonder if we could get that "Red Alert" thing to work right.

    Former "Hand Made" Romulans (of which i have one), will these characters ever have access to the character pieces that will be available to the new faction?

    Re-Trait + since we're retraiting (again) :) can we respecies as well, with Romulans available to the KDF since we're all buddies holding hands nation building on New Romulus?

    Don't think I'll be rushing to play a Romulan though it would have been my first choice long ago,
    probably just stick with my red UI even if i could change the color :)

    I wonder what Sela's role will be in the story.
    Empress of the Republic. Well, that's my guess based on the bits of story they posted. The Tal'Shiar are still the bad guys(even to the playable Romulan faction) and it makes sense for Sela to distance herself from from the old empire that created the Tal'Shiar. That and I think they said that the RR is basically Sela's splinter group of the old RSE. NOT D'Tan's.

    Other things I noticed:
    Romulan ships with singularity cores get some special bonus.

    The new bad guys seem to be a Romulan equivalent of the Fek'lhri.

    And a new Mogai/Valdore/Norexan variant? SWEET! Actually it makes sense as the RSE needs 5 playable ship tiers.

    I don't think they have released the list of playable races for the RR faction yet. The article mentions playable Romulans and Remans but... it DOESN'T mention playable Aliens, so I think it's just discussion and not a full list.

    kk just to get this straight, the romulan republic is the thing the half breed human Sela has ended by declaring herself empress.

    This has nothing to do with D'tan and Obisek and other traitors (i hope) its time to kill the fake empress and declare to the galaxy that we are back.

    I just listened to Branflakes latest interview on SSR then logged on...

    My fiance has been spouting all sorts of possibilities for this, but even when Bran said this wasn't just going to be a 'Season' and that it was bigger than that I never even imagined there'd be this level of awesome!

    I know there'll be a huge number of bugs to fix before it goes live, but this fan is not happy - he's ecstatic!

    In all previous Trek games, my favourite faction has been the Romulans and now I finally get to play them on STO. And I get a bunch of new missions for my Klingon character too? and a, and a...
