Like the Romulan Alliance System? Of course you do, it sounds fine to you because you aren't Romulans, you're FED or KDF who are going to make a Romulan alt, it makes a HUGE difference in perspective.
Well, my hope is that the Romulan faction tells a story of how the Empire fractures and becomes this new Republic. In other words, I would ideally like to start of an officer in the Star Empire

Uh, the game already has told the story for why the RSE is gone. Did you never play a federation character through the story arcs? You can probably catch up on all the deets at the STO Wiki.
I for one appreciate the Romulan Republic's military or citizenry apparel.
To me it gives off the vibe of the Reman Resistance, as well as Romulan Refugees.
Which is exactly what the Romulan Republic appears to be about this time.
Not the Romulan Star Empire, it's enemy by all means. So why wear *their* uniforms?
Anyway, there's an identifiable disruption with the usage of these outfits:
A) Does a newly formed resistance/republic have the resources to replicate these especially? What do the subject species think? e.g. Remans. Would this even go down well with them?
Well in my opinion, they're outfits are alright as they are now. Not only do represent a
difference between the Romulan Republic and the Romulan Star Empire, but they are
also akin to clothing found on the Romulan Refugees/Reman Resistance, which gives
motion to show they are just as embattled- not pampered, rich or selfish like the RSE.
I do hope we'll get other options, such as the TOS uniforms, and the Nemesis uniforms (about the only good thing to come out of that crime against humanity).

Plus this is a good way for the poor Klingons to differentiate between the Tal'shiar agents and playable romulans!
Its not like there is a floating hologram saying don't shoot, I'm republic above their heads.... heh heh.
Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

Why use their ships? Why use their guns? Why use their equipment?

Why does this keep coming up?
All you need to replicate something is 3 things:
- A replicator.
- A working power source.
- Raw matter.
If the Romulan Republic can field D'deridexes and Scimtars then they can plug in a replicator.
What do the subject species think? e.g. Remans. Would this even go down well with them?
I think the Remans have better things to care about than what uniforms the Romulans are wearing.

So what part of the Romulan Republic is actually Romulan? Because I'm not sure I see any.
It is a bit harder to get a totally new ship type and designs, then build them... then getting new clothes.
I thought everybody knew that.
But those uniforms are so OLD. And that means they're useless in the 25th century. It'd be like using Victorian Era Clothing in today's NASA space missions.
honestly, there is so little information on the Romulan Faction at this point, i am going to wait and see. I hope at the very least we get some of the in-game NPC uniforms.
Would make sense too, really. I mean even if you take out all the c-store options. Feds get like 5-6 options I think, and the Klingons have like 3-4. Would make no sense that the Romulans have only one.

I believe the reason being is that old Romulan clothing is 'expensive' appearing.
Expensive means valuable materials. Jewels usually, fine silks, leather, precious metals.
Not only do these need on-hand molecule patterns, but jewels/metals equals no-no.
That's if I remember my lore correctly, which makes that dillithium/gold/latinum cannot
be synthesized within a replicator due to their quantum complexity cannot be reformed.
I think the Remans have better things to care about than what uniforms the Romulans are wearing.
Most of the Remans are extremists. Thalaron weapons ring a bell?
A symbol of the old will not go down well to shape the status quo anew.
It'd be too easy for a Reman to mistake this change in clothing as merely a..
'Reemergence of the mindset of Romulan Supremacy' and become hostile.

An outdated bunch of 'former' uniforms is something.. less needed for the new Republic.
Outdated compared to what? College jackets?
The Romulans may be many things, but informal is not one of them, not even renegades.

Just because it "looks" expensive doesn't mean it is.
Hell, Starfleet combadges are partly made out of gold. Also, Kirk claimed he could manufacture any precious gem he was presented with even before the time of replicators.

And those guys are mostly with Obisek, and THAT was in response to the Tal'Shiar working with the Iconians.
The Romulans are still the same people, just with a different set of ideals.
I say a Romulan without Romulan ideals might as well be a Vulcan.
I don't give two craps about CBS. I think the "green jacket" Republic outfit will be free, while the TNG and TOS style will be C-store.
Well, you might not give two craps about CBS, but Cryptic has to, since CBS can veto anything they feel like vetoing.
Of course, despite having it asked for (twice, by different people) snoggymack22 still hasn't said where he found the 'CBS has vetoed the old uniforms' quote, nor even responded to the question, but that's probably just a minor oversight which he will correct soon.

Assuming you're talking about the TOS Romulan uniforms, there isn't one. I made a post in another thread about how I hope those particular uniforms are available, because the TNG ones are awful, and a dev replied with a joke about TOS uniforms looking silly but TNG ones having ridiculous shoulder pads, and people went hysterical and turned that into "I will personally ensure neither of those uniforms make it in-game because they suck and I hate them."

And then people wonder why the devs don't talk much.

Or to use a more accurate analogy, it would be like the military using uniforms that have gone virtually unchanged for over a century. Oh wait, many armed forces actually do.

You do realize everything concerning the expansion is a done deal at this point? Whatever is or isn't going to be in it has been decided long ago and no amount of forum rage is going to change that.
If they decided to release the TOS uniforms, they are coming. You can buy them or not. I for one would love them. They were pretty snazzy looking in my opinion.

I haven't found one, no (I was aware of the quote you are referring to), which is why I asked snoggymack22 where he had found a quote by Wishstone that CBS had said no to the Romulan uniforms from the shows. It seemed an odd thing to say no to (considering that the two other sides had had their TOS uniforms let through), so context seems desirable.
The Men's Department of the Navy hasn't changed the style of their Service Uniforms in quite a long time.

I'd hate to break your biscuit there, chump, but our first order of business is to reshape an empire.

And I meant that its easy to get a new uniform replicated in lore terms.
But harder to build a new republic classes and designs instead of just using the romulan ones taht already exist.
This was a reply to the people who suggested that renegades should use totally different starships then the old Star Empire.
Outdated compared to what? College jackets?
