I am saving my third and final character slot for a Romulan faction character assuming that the devs will offer such an option. In a way I think I'm being stupid reserving the slot thinking that if they do create a playable Romulan faction that they would grant a free slot for playing it.

I've learned never to assume anything especially when it comes to MMO play. So there is a question in this post...Has anyone heard of plans of implementing Romulans into the mix of the game. It would be cool to captain a Warbird. If so please put PVE missions in and not strictly pvp like on the klingon side. I'm so sick of cracked planet and the other maps.

    All my current gaming is practice for my Romulan adventures. No other race could add as much to the game as the nuances of being Romulan for me.

    Personally, I think this is too far down the road to 'wait for'. I don't see them bringing Romulans into playable until they flesh out the Klingons -- which isn't exactly happening at warp speed. So maybe Klingon content will come with the 45-day patch and Romulans 45 days after that ... so you're saving a character slot (which you may not need to save) for three months on the off chance that Romulans will be launched as a playable faction.

    You could make RA5 with a character well before that time. Use the slot now and just delete your least favorite character when the time comes. Or, if they choose to give an extra slot when Rommies are launched (which I dearly think they should), you won't need to delete and you won't feel stupid.

    Win/win.

    There have been several heavy hints from the Dev team that we'll get Romulans (and likely Cardassians) as the next major factions. One example is on the mainpage for the factions on the STO website it lists Feds and Klinks with their descriptions, but also the logos for Roms and Cards as a place holder I'm assuming,

    Now when we'll see these in game is another story.

    A new state of the game has been released and they talk about this. Here's the link

    They mentioned playable Romulans, Cardies and Dominion in the recent State of the Game which you can find on the front page of the site. If Cryptic is anything but consistant. They will eventually add buyable slots. Currently its only three, but with each faction comes three playable character types. Six with both of them. With Klingons incomplete it probably makes no sense for them to give people more then three slots right now. I wouldnt be surprised though if they limit how many slots you can have at 4 or 6. You also have to remember, each character you have has more saved information then your average character in an MMO. It has ship customization information saved to it, and BO information, their uniforms and weapons. Thats alot of content to keep safeguarded for one single playable character.

    Though I'd also rather have Cardassians or Dominion, I'd want to play the Romulan faction at least as Hirogen. I already have my Fed slot, there are 2 species (Lethean and Nausicaan) I wanna play on Klingon side (waiting for some content there) - so what will I do when I get another faction and run out of slots? If they add a new faction, there should be at least 1 more slot for free.

    I also hope we get the Romulans and Cardassians into playable factions, for me Romulans sound more fun, am a big fan of the warbird but there is one question i'd like to ask, am I the only one who wants to play a Borg? :p
    I'd love to be able to go around in a cube assimilating systems in missions and stuff. Call it boring or what you like but for me it would be fun for ones to play the sort of bad-guy :o

    Would love to have playable Cardassians. Playable Romulans would rock too.

    Borg may be fun for a short while, but I have no desire to level a drone to max. Dominion, now that would be different. I'd love to subspace stealth a Jem'Hadar around.
