This. You cannot expect the game to cater to your specific roleplay under any circumstances. As far as the story is concerned, you are a Republic Romulan. As such, when you play story missions, you must expect to be treated accordingly.
and what of the Klignon empire? are you going to use that excuse for us aswell. or admit the devs took the lazy way out.
Trophies for killing FEDS ahh those were the days.
My crew are clearly bad guys. My bridge officers are a borg, a breen, assorted naussicans and letheans. All in black. My main looks like a klingon version of Lobo with an eye patch. I like to think of my ship as a 1% biker bar in space. So yeah, when I come accross a mission where I'm expected to be diplomatic or help talaxian refugees or some junk it does kind of break the immersion for me. But does that mean that Cryptic owes me a expansion for bad guys only? Then you'll have this forum crawling with feds crying over all the puppies and kittens they've been forced to devour. Just like PVP is driven by players - you must turn to the foundry for missions tailored to your predilictions. Or make your own
For instance ***shameless plug*** why not check out the KDF foundry series On the Edge of an Empire ?
no not owe you anything except decent content . one mission stood out to me aas good , the one with 7 of 9 where you meet the vaadwaur captian to infiltrate their base . you have option to leave a disable ship ( feddy bear version ) or destroy it to prevent them from being able to tell anybody MY version . i destroyed them and & went into a hissy fit. it was great. more of the mission could have been like that. but then it went down hill and at next change of map all was forgotten, disappointment.
Trophies for killing FEDS ahh those were the days.
I'm still not clear why we are even fighting the Vaudwaar. Aside from them being aggressive with some people we have known for like 5 minutes, there is no reason for Klingons or Romulans to concern themselves. What do we care if Kobali Prime falls?
This is all Starfleet's war and we are just along for the ride.
because we are starfleets new trained pets. and if we kill vaadwaur those disgusting Kobali will have more resources .
Trophies for killing FEDS ahh those were the days.
...But a faction is a faction. If you're going to run all of this "March Under the Raptor's Wings" stuff, and everything about defending your honor and fighting glorious battles in the name of the Klingon Empire all over the place, you'd better back it up, or you look lazy even if you aren't. Same principle goes for all the stuff about exploring strange new worlds... so much for that.

I was talking about OP's RP, not about the factions proper. OP seems to want mission content to reflect his special snowflake RP Imperial Romulan. That's unreasonable. Cryptic is not required to write missions to support everyone's personal head canon. OP's request is no different than asking for a whole set of lines for people roleplaying civilian traders or Orion hookers or Photonic Android Kirk Jr's.
I never said Cryptic does a good job writing lines for each faction. They pretty obviously don't.

but the game leads him to believe so just by the fact that he can chose between different ship prefix.
but if thats your point ill take it for what its worth. and still be angry over our factions treatment or lack there of.

Playing thru Delta on my Klingon and Imperial Romulan (not part of that fauxpublic) and its very incongruous. All the missions are just too nice and helpful. Personally I think this is the best time to take out the Federation since they are spread out so thin dealing with the Voth and inferior Delta Quadrant species.
And don't we Romulans have a treaty with the Hirogen?
The Federation may be spread thin but it would be unwise to underestimate them and their allies.
We Romulans have entered this pact between the Federation and Klingons out of a need to ensure they do not turn their aggression upon us. Even those of us true to the Empire; we may be stronger than we were since the Hobus disaster and the loss of our homeworld but we are not nearly strong enough to fight a battle on two separate fronts.
No, now is not the time to attack. We should be using our allegiance with them to establish our own domains within the Delta Quadrant, gain new, more powerful allies, rebuild our numbers and then, and only then, will we be ready to reclaim our rightful place as a true empire again.
Remember, nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
what about the Klingon battle cruiser that that voyager ran into that had been traveling for 2 generations? and is not colonized and entire planet full of Klingons by now. you really think no other species has ventured to that planet or that they had not gotten bored and found a way off that rock ?
Are you under the impression that the Klingon Empire is somehow genetically transmitted, and all Klingons must act exactly like J'mpok and Torg? The 2-generations-separated group that has colonized a new world must of necessity be nothing more than an outpost of Qo'noS?
Keep in mind also that it's been a mere 40 years since Voyager was in that area. Unless Klingons breed like bacteria, they're going to be a while populating, or even just conquering, an entire planet.

The cognitive dissonance is no less if you play a Fed.
Why are we helping the Kobali at all? They are little better than the Borg, at least the Borg are honest about it all. Things get even more bizarre when you realize they are holding Vaaduar in statis pods, just waiting for them to fail to grab their bodies. Why is that any less wrong than what the Borg do?
Why have the Trek writers so twisted the Federation to continually be pushovers and automatically defend other culture´s right to do whatever they wanted, even when it walks all over someone else´s culture? Cryptic writers have continued this long and proud Voyager tradition of lazy and bad writing by making us work with a new parasite species that smiles more than the Borg we already know. Bleh. When the fish lady tells Harry Kim to shut it and not judge Kobali culture... ugh, in the lore my captain outranks them both, why is there no option to tell the fish lady to shut it instead? Terrible writing all around.
So you admit youve never seen Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Cause if you had. Youd of known they most definitely did an episode covering what it was like on a Klingon Bird of Prey.
They may have never committed an entire series to it. But they did more then enough to reflect what it was like to be a KDF Warrior. More then enough to let you know that the way the game plays out in DR and other areas of the game for KDF and Romulans does not reflect what Klingons and Romulans would do had it been a series or movie.
Agent's of shield also made an episode almost entirely with Hydra...
The series isn't called Agents of Hydra now.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
Agent's of shield also made an episode almost entirely with Hydra...

...and Star Trek isn't called "Klingon Trek", or "Romulan Trek", but it also isn't called "Federation Trek" or "Starfleet Trek".
So...WHAT was your point?
"Join Date: Jun 2012" Says Cryptic's "new" forum system. I've been here since a week before launch, but SOME stuff just didn't carry over through multiple system changes/updates. :rolleyes:
I've noticed many dialog choices that lean more federation and others more Klingon. You don't come off as the most blood thirsty warrior, but the Empire has a treaty with both the Federation and the Republic, both of which do not which to go ramaging through the Delta Qaudrant.
Secondly groups like the Cooperative and the Talaxians have thier uses as allies. The first as a weapon and source of intelligence against the borg. Talaxians travel alot and have usual trade and intelligence. And other races have thier uses.
Klingons are warriors, but they are also lawful, there is no honor without duty, and so if the high council says these people are allies then you act accordingly.
What's really weird at first glance is having a O.S.S ship like a Fleet Corsair deputized to enforced "law". A ship that literally launches smaller ships called slavers that rob, kill, and kidnap people. I mean I'm in basically a pirate ship, well more of a privateer, but still, I'm enforcing the law.
But at second glance it makes sense, the Syndicates reputation in the Delta Qaudrant is stainless, if anyone's heard of them its as a servants of the honorable Klingons. And they are presented with an opportunity to improve they're relationship with various species which will make both our suppiors in fhe KDF happy and create trade opportunities, as well as destroy the competetion for criminal activity, and raid they're ships.
If the my ship and others like it keep getting deputized the Orion Syndicate aill have the delta qaudrants criminal activity all to its self and the ironic graditiude of law enforcing species.

Glad to see another person that gets the multi-dimensionl layers of the Klingon DEFENSE Force.
Thank you.

I appreciate the couple of missions that adapt to recognize that I'm flying a timeship. (City on the Edge of Never does.) And by and large, Romulans and Klingons and certain species do get similar adaptations for flavor and sometimes to acknowledge personality differences.
But while I may be a timeship captain in my head, the game isn't going to completely change for that.
Can you give me a list of the missions affected by being in a time ship? I too roleplay similarly cept my toon is liberated Borg.
Does this forums have an ignore feature?
Just wondering.

- The Klingons are puppets of the Federation. We own you!
- The Romulans have been decimated and the Federation will never let you regain your empire ever again.
