o.O and first!
I guess its safe to assume its not going to change any time soon.
Shame. Was looking forward to LoR.
So Singularity Cores aren't going to be unique for Romulans? Aw ...
Still, at least now we get to test some of the new KDF missions.
"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."

They are, but remember Romulans can side with either faction, it is probably for them.
Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Never mind.

the text for the Singularity cores specifically states that they can only be fitted to Warbirds....
don't forget that the two dilithium stores will need the singularity cores stocked so that the romulans can acquire them no matter which faction they ally with
Honestly, at this point the Tribble patch notes could just have at the top in big letters: "No Romulans, No 1-20 KDF" and people would just stop reading :P
We're barely a month away without any testing on these Romulan ships, balancing from thousands of monkeys banging on them, no bug testing for the missions.
This will not end well.
This is making the foolish assumption that there is zero in house testing going on.
Yeah, could turn out a bit ugly...alot of people are going to be watching to see how it pans out...a new faction especially Romulans is kind of a big deal for the game.
Two words: Romulan flamethrower.
Two other words: Andorian escorts.
Four other words: Romulan Embassy Bridge Officers.
They do have a habit of getting "close enough" then sorting it out in a couple patches. Or a whole bunch. I understand working to a sechedule is very tough with this kind of game, but it has ruffled some people no doubt.

I can confirm that they are doing at least some internal testing already, and have been for a few weeks, I'm ingame friends with some devs and have seen at least Branflakes on a Rom toon on several occasions (he plays a Romulan tac named B'Randon, in case you were wondering)
Also please again I'm beggin ya, a way to minimize the face and hair select. It's WAY better than it was when it was first uploaded and I applaud that, but most of the time I'd just rather it wasn't there.
That is the big problem, their in house testing sucks. I still question if they do actually test stuff past it not making the server implode on loadup.
If it doesn't, it is good to go!
O..m..g.. Finally.

its current status is as completely unsatisfactory as the first change, and if you have read any feedback, especially mine, you would clearly be able to see why. do not consider this issue closed, it is completely unacceptable currently. i do very much hope the next change does away with cruiser ruining 10 second gaps completely. that would be acceptable.
if you think something is bad about 100% up time capability, or that its somehow not fun, or necessary, or over powered, YOU ARE WRONG
Is this a thing other people are experiencing? 'Cause I'm kind of wondering if I'm missing some files or something (the launcher seemed to freeze and jump ahead a lot while I was patching Tribble).
Cryptic has said from the start that romulans wouldn't be on the test server until early May. I'm not sure why sto forum users have such a hard time figuring out how a calender works.
or feds flying jen hadar ships or klingons with tholian tech
They can only be equipped on Romulan Warbirds -- Zero also fixed the incorrect patch note earlier this evening, if you recheck the OP
Cheers,

One positive way of looking at this issue is there are going to be problems no matter how much testing is done but at the same time the element of surprise outweighs the problematic factor since there has been fewer problems with each new update.
Or is it I am just immune to the problems of glitches and bugs. Like one dev stated which I think is no longer with Cryptic the difference in content is that a lot of mmorpg companies will create something and sit on it for awhile but we get content pretty much as its been finished.
Edit: I might be biased though the thrill of having new bops to learn to use outweighs any forseeable problems
Mission - House on Fire - space enemies at the beginning of the mission do not level up with you but the Romulan D'Deridex at the end does.
the missions in the Undine Advance still give Mk IX-X rewards but the The Collective gives proper ones hope this gets fix, been asking for proper rewards for some time now would like to see it done before the expansion
I cannot select the last mission in the empire tab "Assassination". The other ones, are GREAT!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Question though, will old KDF players have an option to play through the tutorial, or will we have to roll a new KDF to get the story?
I think we players have earned the right to be heard!
