    I know they're a bit less concerned with logic than their cousins, but Romulans are not stupid.

    They've already struck. The Galactic Union is the evolution of the Romulan Republic, not the Federation. All the key treaties are now being signed on New Romulus. They've successfully playing the Empire off of the Federation forcing both to play nice. They control both operable Dyson spheres. The list goes on.

    No need to strike now in the workers paradise and with Hilary's social medicine.

    WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!

    Nobody expects the Romulan Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to Empress Sela.... Our four...no... amongst our weapons.... amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....

    We strike shortly after assassinating D'Twerp, striking down the Republic, and reuniting all Romulans and Remans under the banner of the Raptor Empire.

    or in other words.... as cryptic develops things... never

    Revenge for what? Their own people blowing up their homeworld? Their own people collaborating with the Elachi and kidnapping and murdering Romulans and Remans?

    The Romulan Republic will have to heal itself, there is no one to revenge against.

    No need to apologize, I can see why some would prefer the traditional portrayal of Romulans, after all, people want the authenticity of the shows, so they would rather be Romulans as they were in the shows, then the ''new, honest'' Romulan Republic.

    Personally I like the republic.

    The RSE was quite honest too. Also nothing about the RR says that they don't plot and scheme... oh look a Dyson Sphere the Federation has been exploring for decades and has de facto claim on... Let me just claim it for the Republic... wait the Federation wants to contest that claim? *shocked face*

    To me, the Romulan Republic seems more in line with the way Mark Leonard portrayed the Romulan Commander in Balance of Terror. To me, that is the true Romulan people.
  • grazyc2#7847 grazyc2 Member Posts: 1,988 Arc User
    Well I like the republic so far but the honor in trade for deception I would love to see it more and I can understand people wanting it because a fox would never forget his nature, so to me they could get some of there sneaky stuff back later in the episodes.

    Let them strike. C'mon. If they do, Starfleet will slap them so hard their heads spin, anyway.

    Yeppers, plus I think the Romulans were planned to be the big baddies in TOS, not Klingons, and they were supposed to be the honor bound race, while the Klingons were going to the sneaky ones.

    You mean like when Picard visited Spock on Romulus and discovered that the soup lady was paranoid about the Tal'Shiar watching her? And that this was apparently the way most Romulans live?

    Agreed, much better foundation to build a faction on.

    Nah I think making Romulans like sweet animals is wrong they always wrote them like sneaky intelligence people more advanced then Klingons and humans. Klingons had a leap in being hunters and fighters a warrior race. Romulans were always the intelligence people being careful and sneaky to avoid bloodshed if they could but they did have in creditable firepower if it was needed.... The Tall Shiar did the Intel for the race like a FBI part also they were very busy protecting there timeline. The outside Imperial however were busy guarding territory and stuff... And like I said before a Fox never forgets his nature so it is bound to go wrong somewhere along the timeline. I think it should be nice to see this along the way in STO it could be an interesting timeline to write about and a challenge for the writers if the write a good story, witch they mostly do !!!
