Well, there was a link, somewhere in these fora before the event went live, but leaked stuff tends to get deleted, because posting it is a violation of the rules. So I'm not sure if the post still exists for the masses to view, and I didn't fave the post or the images.
I do remember a leaked pic of a green board. But... I think it was the same display model we've been trying to figure out how to buy. :P
Anyways, I've noticed three that I'm sure are non-buyables, the green one, a purple one with the Vulcan salute, and a superior board with the same apint scheme as the KDF board.
Unfortunately, the Risians only had one Romulan board in stock, and the Romulan DOff from the Officer Appreciation Weekend got it.
This was my other concern. If it was a bug that certain boards didn't get added to the vendors, that it was something that the devs can't/won't fix before the end of the event, just like with the Romulan Doff.
"There will never be enough blood to wash away my need for vengeance! A single world...I could destroy a million worlds and it would not be enough! Your existence is an insult to the memory of my people! I will continue my fight, even if I must fight alone!"
The good news is there's much more time for a fix before this event ends, but if the next expansion is sucking up all the dev time like the rumors this'll probably get swept under the rug just like that doff
There's gonna be trouble if the swimsuit bug gets fixed over this though :mad:
Why would you want to pay 1500 for the same board that cost 1000?
Why bother with grinding favor at all? Why bother with anything involving the Risa event, beyond possibly the ships?
"There will never be enough blood to wash away my need for vengeance! A single world...I could destroy a million worlds and it would not be enough! Your existence is an insult to the memory of my people! I will continue my fight, even if I must fight alone!"
Only Cryptic can make a "day at the beach" into the most grueling day of grinding ever. If only they would use their superpower for good and not evil.

Why would you want to pay 1500 for the same board that cost 1000?
yeah... that would be a good question
fact is the Midnight Marauder board costs only 1000 favors while the Federation one costs 1500 favors
both are superior boards
and the most idiotic thing is... the Midnight Marauder board even looks like the Federation board
Why would you want to pay 1500 for the same board that cost 1000?
Because I want a Romulan board. Look, we got Romulan scarves for the Winter event. Was making a Romulan board for this too much effort? Did they forget about us? Did they think we wouldn't mind? We do not wish to be treated as second-class citizens. The New Romulan Republic is a proud polity, with proud citizens. I dont want a KDF board for my KDF-allied Romulans, nor a UFP board for the one Romulan whom I may eventually ally with the Federation (granted, I would have to get her to that point before the event ends, but she's close enough that an hour or two would get her there). My Vulcan wouldn't mind a Vulcan board, either, nor my Orion an Orion board, but I think both of them could settle for the boards of their respective factions. But the Romulans, while not a full faction, are still not either UFP or KDF, but RRF; we want our own board.
Mind you, I might find some other board more visually pleasing than a Romulan board from a purely aesthetic perspective, sure, and I might even get one of those as well. However, if Starfleet and the KDF get their own boards, then the RRF should get our own boards as well. I'm pretty sure PWE has made a considerable sum from players of Romulans buying Romulan-specific items and generic items for their Romulan characters. It's only fair that they recognize that and toss us a frikkin bone or three.
Dev1: Why don't we add another faction? Since LoR was such a success.
Dev2: You volunteer to deal with all the Romulan players griping about all the things they're missing. And the new faction too.

But you do know Romulans are not a true faction in game and don't have a starbase. It would be nice but in a way I'm glad they are not. That would be another starbase to work on.;) sorry didn't read whole message so you do know.
I'm a fed and won't pay 1500 for something that cost 1000. That is stupid to me but that is me,
Apparently faction powerboards are reserved for actual factions. :P
LMAO!

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Umm yeah the faction situation is common knowledge
It is good to know that you all know. With zero expectations, there will be zero disappointment. Surely that is the baseline we are looking at here, following the above logic?

Not disappointment, more like boredom. Got my VR floater, got my VR doffs, running out of things to spend favors on and the UFP board is not for me.

Upcoming patch notes have been released. While we are gaining the ability to preview powerboards, no mention of any powerboards being added.
So, unless it's something they forgot or didn't bother including in the patch notes (which, admittedly, has happened before) it's increasingly looking like we aren't getting a powerboard this year.
"There will never be enough blood to wash away my need for vengeance! A single world...I could destroy a million worlds and it would not be enough! Your existence is an insult to the memory of my people! I will continue my fight, even if I must fight alone!"
I've sadly read... It's as the problem isn't even perceived.
I'll try again to ask and up and hope for the after-patch login... I'm almost at 1.500 favors, precisely saved for the Romulan Board...

Why are you saving up for aboard that does not exist anywhere, including in the boards on display? There is no Romulan board, not even one on display. There are two normal superior boards on display which are not available for purchase (A green one between the FED and KDF Superiors, and a red one to that display's left) but there is not a Romulan board even on display.

Well, I still wish to hope that a mistake this big will be ratified for sure and of course I'm one of those who believe that the green one IS the Romulan board...
As a BTTF fan, I love the idea of a hover-board in ST, but I wish to combine it also with my passion for the Romulan people.

I'm sitting on more than 1500 favors so I can get a Romulan Republic board. If they don't add it this year, they had better add it next year, otherwise I'll continue to sit on these and wait. They will not be sold or spent, but simply take up space in my inventory/bank. There is no good reason not to have a Romulan Republic board, and the lack of one is an insult to those of us who have supported Romulan content through Zen purchases of Romulan-specific items and generic items for our Romulan toons.
Double-checked in-game just now. Sure enough, no new powerboards, and building a "Romulan Monument" still makes a Klingon Monument.
I think what's bugging me the most is the absolute lack of acknowledgement, at this point. If we could at least get "Yeah, we're sorry, we ran out of time/resources/etc." I might be able to move on with my life for now, and hope they do better next year.
So, until I get that acknowledgement, I'm going to make a new thread alongside this one, specifically asking for answers from the devs.
I'm also going to keep putting in tickets to the GMs in-game; I've tried this previously and was given a canned response and directed to the forums, but perhaps my persistence will finally annoy a GM enough to get in touch with a dev.
Finally, onyx suggested asking about it in Smirk's livestream tomorrow, and I may attempt that as well.
Everyone else is welcome to partake in similar lines of questioning, until we get an answer.
"There will never be enough blood to wash away my need for vengeance! A single world...I could destroy a million worlds and it would not be enough! Your existence is an insult to the memory of my people! I will continue my fight, even if I must fight alone!"
Where is our Romulan Republic Superior Power Board, Cryptic?
Why do we build a "Romulan" sand monument with a huge Klingon logo in the center of it, Cryptic?
Both are because you already have Powerboards and Monuments for your faction- whether that be "joined to the Federation at the hip" or "vassal of the Klingon Defense Force."
The error people keep making is confusing "Romulan" and "faction."

The thing is, I make a KDF monument, even though I'm allied with the Federation. And there's the matter of how it actually says "Romulan Monument" when I go to build one, so it's not just a matter of them not creating a model, but seriously messing up the coding as well.
I created a new thread to address my broader concerns with the Romulan Republic's treatment in the current Risa event. Although I did post it originally in General Discussion, a mod swept it down to the Feedback subforum in the night.
"There will never be enough blood to wash away my need for vengeance! A single world...I could destroy a million worlds and it would not be enough! Your existence is an insult to the memory of my people! I will continue my fight, even if I must fight alone!"
Weeeeeeeeee! Romulan Republic Superior Powerboard added in tomorrow's maintenance!!!
It was certainly a pleasant surprise when I read the patch notes, tonight!
I planned on popping in here and making a mention of it earlier, but realized I had favors I needed to farm. I never bought the Federation board, so no exchange for me. :P
Also, we're getting our own monuments too!
Still kind of bugs me that we didn't have either to begin with, or an answer as to why we didn't have either to begin with, but at least the devs finally listened to us or fixed whatever was broken.
