Was it "we really like that we can use fed ships, it gives us a lot of already built in options once we hit level cap!"
And so Cryptic said "Can't have this, remove and add back in later for money."
Still so much fail.
Players were concerned that nobody would roll Fed/KDF if you get all the same gear and Rommie gear too.
The mistake here was letting them use any ships. They should have been kept separate. No walking around in ESD/Qo'Nos social zones either.
They treat it like a faction sometimes and then treat it like a playable race when they need to fill the holes. It confuses and angers the players and makes Cryptic look ineffectual
Um, no, he's right. For all intents and purposes when you get a romulan to level 10, you choose to be fed or klingon with a few special boffs, all your boffs can have romulan operative, and with special shiny new ships that aren't that special or even that shiny, and no access to 75% of fed or klingon 'content.' i.e. uniforms, ships, etc.
Make no mistake, Cryptic really pulled a fast one on this one: "Oh, a new Romulan faction is what we've been working on! Epic! It's its own faction! But it isn't really because you don't get your own starbase or fleets, or end game sets from reps, and you don't really have a 'faction' per se, you just choose the federation or klingons at level 10 and you have a bit more complicated back-story. Oh, but you ARE your own faction because while you don't get your own fleets or starbases or end game content and FE mission acknowledgement of third faction, you ALSO won't get access to fed or klingon T5 ships or any uniforms! Isn't that great!
So. Fail.

I agree with this assessment. See above post! Either make them fully fed with an interesting back story, or make them their own fully fledged faction.
Also, FYI, I don't know if it is a bug, but I can currently fly the T5, 10 console, Steamrunner Retro that you get from steam pack on my Romulan.

No, what they were seeing was a lot of complaints about how Romulans were going to level in Warbirds just to switch to whatever C-Store ship they were already flying on another character. And how it would make KDF allegiance worth less because of their limited number of C-Store ships.

KDF complainers strike again! Limiting player choice is idiotic, and players that want to limit player choice are the worst kind of small minded fool.

Yeah that's right the list of things pissing me off about this expansion pack just keeps on growing and growing. I bought the Vesta Pack, with full intent to use it on my fed aligned Rommy.. But wait! No you can't do that! Not only can you not get a science vessel as a Rommy but even if you shelled out 50$ on an account wide unlocked.. You Still can't! Rock on PWI, the fail is strong in this one.
No new pvp venues, ugly new UI, no more first person camera mode, can't delete mail messages, glitchy outfits, can't use fed aligned outfits on Fed-Romulans, for the love of god this was supposed to be an improvement to the game not a laundry list of reasons to stop playing!
This, this right here is not a "I bought the vista when it was new" infact no were in that first post do you mention buying the vista when it was first released, or new, what you do say, exactly, word for word, verbatim is "I bought the Vesta Pack, with full intent to use it on my fed aligned Rommy.."
you gave every indication that you did, in fact, shell out 50 bucks without reading, so you can hardly be mad at people for going by what you first said, in your first post, which you did correct in a later post.
you whole tone is offensive, rude, trollish, and whiny. Rommies are rommies, they use warbirds. if you don't like it, don't play them, or play a fed alien and make them look like a rommie and use your vesta. or play the new content then go back to playing your feds.
you, like everyone else, had a chance during beta to look at notes, make opinions, play the open beta, and provide feedback. you choose not too. and its not fanboi, as you put it, to do so, no, fanboi is complaining about how the beams are fairing from the right place on a ship, or how the ship doesn't match the version from the series it was pulled form exactly. that's fanboi. Choosing to not read them, or look into what's changing or going into a game you play, or product you pay for or have put money into is choosing to be a uninformed buyer, choosing to be ignorant doesn't make being ignorant someone else's fault. this is akin to people that don't vote, at a state level, or country level, and then ***** about who is in charge.
I was a bit upset that the stock Ha'nom Guardian Warbird was the only Science heavy option available to my KDF Allied Romulan Science Officer.
I bought the Legacy Pack thinking that there would be a +1 version of the Ha'nom Guardian Warbird Science vessel in it but sadly there was not.
It does seem like Romulan Science Captains are kind of getting the shaft when it comes to the variety of T5 Science Vessel options that are available.
Has it Stands right now there is only one Romulan vessel that has a commander level Science station on it; two if you consider the Adapted Battle Cruiser but with the Cruiser you give up the Battle Cloak and the Singularity Core.
I have no problem with Cryptic's decision to block off use of all T5 Allied Vessels from Romulans but I am a little disappointed about not having a +1 Romulan Science vessel with its own special console option available to us.
We need more endgame Romulan Science Vessel Options Cryptic.
