Playable Liberated Reman Borg

I have really enjoyed the LoR expansion content so far. What I would like to see, and I am certainly not the only person I would imagine, but is to see a playable Liberated Reman Borg species at character creation.

Some might argue that Starfleet only gets one liberated Borg playable character (Liberated Human Borg) as does the KDF (Liberated Klingon Borg), so the Romulan faction should only get one as well (Liberated Romulan Borg). My way of thinking is:

1) the Romulan faction is the only faction where you can get two liberated bridge officers - Liberated Romulan Borg Science candidate (Lobi store) and Liberated Reman Borg tactical candidate (C-Store). Starfleet and KDF can only get one each, the Liberated Human Borg engineering candidate and the Liberated Klingon Borg engineering candidate, respectively (C-Store). So in some way there is a precident of sorts.

2) Romulan faction only has four species options at present: alien-gen, Romulan, Liberated Romulan Borg and Reman (Starfleet and KDF have two or more times the options). This would give them one more option.

3) Romulans and Remans are the core species of the faction while Humans are the core species of Starfleet and Klingons are the core species of the KDF. Okay I will admit that's grasping at straws just a little, lol.

And while I am under no illusions that some work would be needed to implement this, all the modelling is already in the game more or less. Please consider. Just my two cents worth ...

unfortunately, unless they make liberated borg of other species for both the fed and KDF, it would be a little unfair each of them only have one playable borg species. and actually the lobi store liberated borg is usable by all sides, not just romulans, so should the fed and KDF get liberated remans as well?

and technically, humans are not the core species of the federation. vulcans are as well, so are andorians and tellarites, they are the 4 founding species of the federation.

Possibly. But one could also argue it unfair that Romulans don't get their own starbases and fleet progression independant from the Federation or Klingons. Each faction has their own pros and cons - selling points and downsides - this could be a pro for the Romulan Republic Flotila.

perhaps, but your main point to allow liberated remans was the fact that romulans can get two liberated borg BO species, when all three get access to 2.

I want to be able to choose the base species for the Liberated Borg captain for all factions. I think implementing that choice between Romulan or Reman could and should be the testbed for applying this feature. From the game mechanic view, the species traits and abilities would be the same regardless of Romulan or Reman. The only difference would be in visuals.

Also, can the Seven of Nine hand exoskeleton and head implants be activated on ALL Borg characters? It is really frustrating that only females can have the exoskeleton when it has been seen on drones of both genders.
