cardassia playable character

If STO does make the Cardassian faction playable like with legacy of Romulus, I wish I could put the Kobali ship and put it in account bank storage. I also wonder if there would be a Solena Dyson Cardassian ship. Those would be interesting features. I keep thinking Dust to Dust is only an aniversary playable.

That's total TRIBBLE dude, and I really wish people would stop spinning this lame argument against the possibility. The Galor, despite it's icon status, is not needed in order for a Cardassian Faction to be released.
Sure they can. Just make the factional Galor different from the lockbox Galor. Couple different ways to do it that I can think of: rename the lockbox Galor a "True Way Galor" (maybe with an alternate paint job available a la mirror ships), and make the factional Galor a destroyer instead of a cruiser (it's canonically considered the former).
In fact they could make that the mechanics motif for the Cardies: Romulans get super-tactical stuff, KDF gets battlecruisers and raiders, why not make the Cardies' schtick be destroyers?

No, the real reason why they can't do an "Expansion" with playable Cardassians :
They're already lots of Patrols in Cardassian Space :P ...
The DS9 Tech Manual states it to be a Cruiser, so if anything, I'd be inclined to think of the Galor as a Cruiser over a Destroyer. The Destroyer term seemingly came from it's use and multiple appearances during the Dominion War, but even there it was often referenced as a Warship or Cruiser.
Unless you have a more specific source?
Nope, looks like you're right. I coulda sworn the DS9 TM called it a destroyer.

They did. But it has been called both throughout the series.

Edit: Derp, I didn't notice that "TM" there when I wrote my comment. I don't know what the TM listed it as, but it was predominantly called a destroyer in DS9. While more often refered to as a cruiser in TNG.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Not really.
If you play any fed "Playable" character, the game reacts the same.
If you play and Klink "playbable" character, the game reacts the same.
What value is another stupid skin?
:rolleyes:
Honestly that's the lamest excuse the playerbase has come up with. A Cardassian faction Galor does not have to have the same stats as a lockbox Galor. In fact, judging with how they did the Romulans, the Galor would likely end up either a T3 or T4 ship with maybe a T5 refit version, all of which could have different stats, consoles, and boff slots than the lockbox Galor.
Considering they are considered as a Fed protectorate ingame, it's not unlikely they come as part of the federation, a bit like the Ferengi or the Fed Klingons. With some unique costume and stuff added.
Something much smaller than LoR, with perhaps only the first 10 lvl having unique missions (and a unique ship).
To be honest, there isn't much left of the Cardassian in STO. Even the Romulan have more. They are merely a protectorate, lost pretty much all their fleets and planets, Cardassia was ruined, and they face a civil war.
The Romulan also face a civil war and lost the homeworld, but the bulk of their military strength was still intact. And their colonies survived pretty much unscathed.
Just a thought, but it makes sense to think the Cardassians (or the Dominion) would want to battle harden their ships for their war with the Federation and Allies. The only drawback to this is that the Cardassians have already had smaller wars with the Federation, and as such should have already had capable starships at their disposal.
It would serve as a cash cow for Cryptic, though after playing a Romulan (three times) and realizing it's more of the same, a Cardassian cash cow is one that I'd avoid playing. I've got four characters, and nomatter how far I get with my secondary ones (one of which includes a Republican) I always end up going back to my main two. There's just not enough variation.
At this stage in game, I would much rather Cryptic release playable Cardassians (though for all three existing factions). I've said before, but save digging up an old thread/post, I think it would best serve Cryptic by releasing a Cardassian Package. Included within should/would be;
* Playable Cardassian Character Token
* Hideki Type starter ship
* x3 Cardassian Bridge Officer Tokens (x1 Tac, x1 Sci, x1 Eng)
* T5 Cardassian Galor (unlocked at level #40, useful until level #50)
* T5 (new design) Cardassian Ship Token (enables a single free c-store Cardassian ship purchase)
* Cardassian Costume
* Cardassian Weaponry (ground)
* Other Bits and Bobs
The c-store could do with three - six T5R/T6 designs, only purchasable to people that have purchased this package. One ship (token) enables a free purchase, the others, if you want, you pay for. Cardassian Bridge Officers would also be added to the c-store for all to purchase (though someone who purchases this pack would get three for free). Enable the pack for all factions, and at a sum of 10000zen. Problem solved!
Ideally this would come out alongside a species retrait token; I don't think it's fair that everyone who might want to play as a Cardassian should have to restart from scratch.
