I just had a thought as I was creating a Cardassian character... and these don't come often so I hafta share...
We know there are hints at new factions that may be added for play, including Romulans and Cardassians as set up on the map and listed on the web site.
I haven't heard anything of this sort, so this is pure conjecture on my part, but it seems to me they gave us an extra character slot once we unlocked our Klingon. I'm wondering if they don't have the character slots currently locked at 3 because they have already planned on adding at least 2 more factions to play, and perhaps more.
Since they added a new character slot for the Klingons, it seems logical that they'd add a new slot for each new playable faction. But instead of giving out ALL of the slots now, where people would go and fill up their rosters with characters, they hold back a few and release one with each faction, so that not only do you have an extra slot, but it's also empty and ready to play the new faction, and not filled up with an existing character that you then don't want to lose.
Anyway, just a thought for those upset at the slot limit.
