After first poll, now is time for second one with new species which you suggested in comments
Tho First 4 been voted as most desirable in last poll, tho as poll can't have more of 10, you can add if yours choice not listed in comment.
Option No need for new factions, isn't added as last time that option got most votes, this is just to see which factions seems as most desirable, and yes i know it would be better to fix bugs and all, but this is just poll about new factions which would be nice to see as playble.

How about 23c Romulan and 23c Klingon? We deserve our crappy 6missions too!
The Only ones on your list that would even interest me, in order, are :
RSE
Voth
Dominion
Terran Empire
But honestly after the last bull dung "faction" lets just drop the concept, Cryptic has nfc how to even do mini-fractions well
But I think they should fix some problems first then work on a new faction....Maybe even just showing Romulan/Remans some love would be nice too...
Cause as it is, the Feds are getting all the love while us Roms and KDFs are starving for just a little bit of that love too.
I have to be a negative Nancy here but... Cryptic can't handle the KDF and release faction specific content for them or the half faction RSE.
Be prepared to see AOY over the coming months be forgotten and just be treated like the standard Federation
That's why I'm not interested in any more factions. Cryptic can't do what they currently have in game justice because "it doesn't sell" So after the initial release and sales die down, any new sub faction will be thrown under the same bus.
Better off just releasing species to buy in the C-Store pro-Fed align with Feds. Know to be hostile towards Feds join KDF. And release the odd ship for them to pilot in the C-store
Unless Cryptic puts out some original designs.

Why are you not rejoicing?
Compared to who?
I think how they handled the Romulan Republic was pretty good. In a game that was built around only two factions, having the third choose to ally with one of the existing makes sense. If I remember correctly, that's basically how the Pandarens were handled in WoW. Proceed along a racial quest line until a certain point, then choose to join one or the other existing faction.
Gameplay mechanics basically say we have 2 teams. Red and Blue. For all intents and purposes, the new Green team has to choose to be with Red or Blue for balance.
I extend my middle finger at this subject.
This is the STAR TREK ONLINE forums after all...
well rattler... the RR wasn't the last "faction" now was it? Nor was it a "mini-fraction." In fact the one I referred to made what they did with the Romulan fraction look good in comparison.
As I have no comparison from other games for "mini" factions... I'm either biased in that regard or can't really give my opinion one way or another.
I've always liked the idea of a Cardassian faction, but I wouldn't want one now. I'd much rather see playable Cardassians added to the store at this point, or rewardable through some sort of Cardassian Reputation System. I strongly oppose any Borg/Collective concept too.
Short of the Klingons, the Cardassians were the only other species (external to the Federation) that got a decent amount of character and background, in some ways, many ways in fact, they were (are) more published than even the Romulans. I don't think their lack of ships would have posed a concern, cause Cryptic have managed to add to the Republic fleet with their creativity, and the Romulans were never that much up on the ship game as it was.
T'varo > T'liss > D'Deridex > Mogai > Scimitar
Hideki > Galor > Keldon
If the Cardassians need something to rival the mighty Mogai, Sovereign or Negh'var, then introduce something that looks up to the task.
I agree. Under the old model, they can't support even the 3 factions. Only Feds ever get anything exclusive, KDF/RR only get multi-faction packs if anything. Because they are not as profitable as the majority Feds. Adding more restricted minority markets that way would only make it even worse.
TOSFed is the new model for factions. An origin story, some thematic differences, but no restrictions. Their stuff is usable by normal Feds and vice versa. If all the factions were upgraded to that standard, the game could support any number of origins because there would be a single market for selling materiel to.
And we're all playing as the Alliance once the storyline gets to that point anyway...might as well have the gameplay reflect that.
To make things go!
Now I am scared... He got his T6 Connie into the game already, won't someone stop him?
Agreed on this as well.
