Will the Cardassians and Romulans become playable?

I'm hoping they have all major races playable one day, Ferengi included maybe Species 8472 as well who knows, the possibilities are endless.

    I hope so. Maybe after they finish making the Klingon faction. Right now it's so unfinished. At least when WoW launched the Alliance & Horde factions had equal content.

    If the Romulans become playable they should play like the old Diplomacy game. Because that's what Romulans do in their spare time, drive honor blades into each others' backs.

    In a word yes. Take a look at the factions page, it has the clickable buttons for the factions ready.
    The quote below doesn't state that they ARE coming but its the only one I could find again in a short space of time:

    The Federation is made up of many 'member' races each with their own separate naval police forces. Will players ever get a chance to acquire some of these member race-specific ships? The question also applies to the Klingon Faction, will Klingon players get to play Gorn, Orion, or Nausican ships in addition to the traditional Klingon bottomnal?

    Not initially. Although you will encounter many of them, the player will only have access to Federation or Klingon ships. We hope to make some of these available in the future.

    Plus in an interview somewhere the devs said that if enough scream for them then they'll bring in Romulans.

    Its coming, but may be some time off. There's bigger priorities right now.

    I'd imagine Romulans and Dominion. However, im not sure what state either of these factions are in during this timeline.

    Ferengi wouldn't really fit the STO model, they aren't openly war-like as a species and never work as a collective organisation. They'd need to change the game fundimentals to make them work or have them as a sub-species which could choose allegiance at will.
