Suliban Playable Species

nxenterprise02

With the upcoming release of the Suliban Flight-Deck Cruiser, is there a chance of adding Suliban as playable species option for Romulan faction? I know this was mentioned as a possibility at the time LoR was released and while I know Enterprise isn't exactly loved by the majority of fans (or at least it seems that way), it could make a few more players create another Romulan character (I would be the first ).

Romulan Republic has the least number of options when it comes to species and adding Suliban, and even maybe Acamarians, would be a great start for bringing us up to par with the Klingon Empire.

This exactly question i remember being asked before LoR was launched, as i recall i wasn't a particuarly enthusiastic about it. It was mostly because at the time the Suliban were a scattered people who kept to themselves and wanted nothing to do with with outsiders or their concerns, selling on plans on old suliban ships to the Romulan republic could be seen as a means of survival for the Suliban rather than a full on alliance. Besides when has there been Xindi playable races for the recent Xindi lockbox ships? besides a lobi boff and a few doffs, there was nothing to that one either.

If the Suliban should be brought in, so should the Xindi.

The Acamarians i felt at the time had their own concerns with their recent war with the gatherers, reunification would be a difficult thing and it would take time to solve, especially with such a violent past. i didn't consider them seriously as contended back then because there wasn't any connection to the republic or the galaxy in general that would of warrented their return.

If the Acamarians do become playable, they need to be full allies with the republic, in addition cryptic needs to come up with some minor storyline as to why the Acamarians chose to open themselves to the galaxy at large once again and their reunification process.

Yeah, I agree with you, completely. I think it's time Cryptic made of the Enterprise aliens such as Xindi-Primates (or even Reptilians) and Denobulans playable.
The only difference here is, however, that they are selling this as an Allies pack - you can create a Tellarite to use the new cruiser and the Orion to captain that barge, but players who buy a Suliban flight-deck carrier can use it on either their Romulan or Reman (or Alien) - why would a Romulan officer give up their Warbird (with a singularity core) to operate a non-Romulan ship?

They don't have to make them a separate species, but they could at least add their Skin Type to RRF Aliens.

Aliens should have all the parts of all the races in the game available.
