How come there aren't Cardassians in this game? Garak is one of my all time favorite characters. It makes me sad I can't play one.

You can make one using the character creator.. if you wanted to that badly..
This, a thousand times. They've JUST released a dev blog detailing their process for designing and implementing a new ship, start to finish. A little detail some folks might have missed while getting hyped for the shiny new Dyson ships is this little line:
SIX MONTHS. A MINIMUM lead time of half a year for a single ship to go from "Hey guys, make a new ship" to Captain@Accountname has obtained a Cardassian Galor Cruiser! across your screen.
And building ships might be the most clear-cut single process of content generation in the game right now. Everything else: Designing zones, new systems, weapons, story content and that sort of thing could take orders of magnitude more meetings, discussion, testing and asset generation just to get playable.
So everything you're seeing being teased for the next lockbox, the next event, the next shiny thing? It was in the works as early as the beginning of fall.
Perspective.
i like your thinking

Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade

That's not a knife thing to say.
I think you mean Kardashians. It is a common enough mixup.
No... I mean a Cardassian... But that's ok... I am sure you have alot on your plate.
So this is a demonstration of Federation tolerance, acceptance, and equality? :rolleyes:
Pft, I would expect this from the Romulans. Y'all managed to blow up nearly an entire sector. At least even the Klingons were smart enough to stop with just their moon.
:P
No, this is a demonstration of an Earth Spacedock pun thread.

romulan!!!! and this post made my day
system Lord Baal is dead
I fixed it.
I killed my way to Admiral... Deal with it.
Also, not once, not twice but 3 times in the last 50 years have the Cardassians declared war on the federation... It's time we start cleaning up our mess.
Wellcome to the waiting line OP, many of us have been waiting for Cardassians since....forever.
You're right. Just let Cryptic give us our faction and a couple of Keldons and we'll start cleaning up the mess right away!
In the interview that Priority One just did with Gecko, he specifically mentions "expansion 2." Nothing beyond that phrase so anything pertaining to that would all be speculation. It is indeed conceivable that expansion 2 could be a Cardassian sub-faction or it could be something entirely different.
The Dygan of the Cardassian Guard stands ready.
I didn't mean to make it sound like I wanted another whole faction, but after thinking about it, Cardassians wouldn't be a good fit in either FED or KDF or even Romulan for that matter.
After watch TNG and Deep Space Nine, I prefer Cardassians over Romulans. I understand though that the Romulans are one of the powers in the Alpha Quadrant.
I thought maybe they could sneak Cardassians in on FED or KDF but that wouldn't make much sense.

Yes, they are.
They're also boring. Visually, that is. Seriously, beige fish ships? We already have enough drab aesthetics in this game with the Klingons. Dominion? Absolutely. YES to purple and changelings. NO to generic beige manipulator-snake-people. Who have no business being a major galactic power anyway.
And no, the Romulans have no business being a major galactic power either, but they get a pass because they're actually interesting.
hahaha hahahaha now i dont know if i should sneak attack now or wait till later for the romulan bit :P
system Lord Baal is dead
Noooooo, this is in no way being subjective. :P
Yes, shame on the Cardassians and Romulans for becomming major powers without getting your permission. lol
Wait for us to get the Cardassian faction. Then, I'll lure him with the beige-ness of my ship which he hates so much and then you can decloak and clean him out from behind.
Also I think you guys misunderstood. I LIKE the Romulans. I LIKE that they're a major galactic power. I'm just saying that any resemblance to the Cardassians (the Dominion occupation as compared to the Hobus Supernova) doesn't necessarily justify the Cardassians being similarly powerful.
Nah, don't worry I was just joking a bit. We all have some strong opinions on some issues - for ex. start a thread about playable Lib.Borg and you'll get me into my 'arrogant arbiter of everything' edition.
By the way, even the novelverse has Cardassian bridge officers on Federation ships: junior science officer Ensign Dakal on USS Titan under Admiral Riker, operations officer Glynn Digan on USS Enterprise-E under Captain Picar, and a female one on the new Deep Space 9 serving Captain Ro.
And Castellan Garak would make for a great guest character in STO!
THAT SAID, this doesn't mean they can't change. They are no longer an authoritarian government. Creativity and uniqueness are no longer suppressed on Cardassia, nor is interaction with outsiders. This means new ideas have entered their culture. Therefore it is not too much to ask for Cardassian Boffs serving on our ships. It is also not too much to ask for a Cardassian playable species.
If they release a Cardassian faction at some point I would enjoy a story line about them trying to find a new cultural identity and not necessarily getting involved in the Klingon Federation War. The upcoming expansion is most likely the Delta Quadrant though, so we won't be getting Cardassians then.
