Since is Romulan up next I hope Cryptic will come up with a variety of different uniform for Romulan than that single one style they have.
Since Romulan are based on Roman empire I hope Cryptic designer can be inspirer by that.
or also add in the Romulan
costume style from JJ Abrams film.
anyway the other question is what other species there will be there? Romulan and reman only? Also will Reman have variety of you uniform
Comments
They already have 3 styles as far as I remember.
You think we will fight a bunch of civilian miners?:D
nope but costume is much better looking
But it doesn't fit unless we are fighting a bunch of miners turned pirates who just spent 20 years on Rura Penthe. We will probably again fight the Romulan military, and they should wear uniforms.
well Criptic should be inspire they look much better than military uniform
but anyway we need more different one even kling got a lot of choice and they lool good
Indeed. *shivers*
"Generic supervillain uniform #B-01"
If we have the option of either Reman armor or TOS Romulan look then i'll be a very happy camper. All the Nemesis uniforms were great but I think we need to move the Romulans up away from the spotted square look.
The ones from the new movie and nemesis are pretty awesome, and much more intimidating then the ones with bad wigs, and unmoving boxy uniforms.
...though certain aspects I was rather fond of. The spiky suspender harness, for example, I thought was actually a really cool piece, despite the rest looking like a tinfoil quilt.
There really doesn't exist much in the way of canon examples of Romulan attire, now that I google it. A little TOS, a little TNG, and a smattering of Nemesis. Romulan Faction will probably be Cryptic's last glimmer of hope to prove to the fanbase that they can produce original works for the Trek universe that aren't 75% ugly and 20% passable (and 5% "what were they thinking" *points at Star Cruiser*).
actually is it true Hirogen will be par of the Romulan faction?
There is no solid information out yet about the Romulan faction except a vague and wholly unofficial "end of 2011" statement floating around. We have no idea what races will be included with the Romulan release.
Romulan and "Alien" are the gimmies. Cryptic would be remiss to not include an Alien option for this faction if the others have them (though working it in story-wise is guaranteed to be questionable at best). Since the Hirogen are allied with the Romulans, it's logical to assume they will be included. However, it's far too early to arrive at any real conclusions, so don't get your hopes up.
Well there's the poll for starters. They'd be fools to ignore the huge majority asking for Romulans.
Still trying to track down the exact post, but the current status of the Romulans is that they'll start working on them when they feel the Klingons are "finished". Basically, they don't want to start focusing on a new faction while an existing one is still short changed.

Ahh so distant future. Meh. not gonna wait, I will let my account lapse anyway and come back later to check stuff out and see if it has improved. Still got hopes for the game. What can I say.
It's a ways off yea, but the KDF has come a long way, they should be able to start working on it this year. At the very least I figure they could open a forum section for the Romulans so folks can start consolidating ideas. There are already several around now, so a lot of the initial planning of the faction has already been done by forum posters, I just hope that someone at cryptic had the wherewithal to keep a list of links somewhere on their share drive.
If Cryptic gave me that rommie hairstyle for my Fed character I'd totally dig it though. Just sayin.
Lol.
Anyways, from what I gathered by dstahl's comments, the earliest projected release of the faction might occur towards the end of next year. Likely depending on the state they want to release the RSE in (i.e. "KDF launch" or "KDF now").
Granted, I'd rather have it at the earliest possible date myself - being a roleplayer I'm perfectly able to create my own content if I'm just given the tools. It got me through the "old" KDF as well, after all.
Please let the TOS/Nemesis/Star Tek XI ones have a baby of uniforms!:D
On that note, the Reman armor better be available to all members of the Empire!
Everything I've seen suggests that the goal is end of 2011 or so for Romulans. They're trying to make KDF less painful, not necessarily equal...
And Romulans will start with the Deferi series, the Devidian series, etc., probably launching with very few unique missions but with a lot of work put into reusing existing missions from the Rommie perspective. A lot of the necessary work is text and there are a lot of existing missions that will probably be given text overhauls for future factions (and to work in Klingons).
I never had a problem with the Romulans looking like David Byrne. If they do use those uniforms (and they will) I hope we get his dances too :cool:

So you don't think they'd be able to start by December 2011? Heck, they spent about a year framing what would be in the game, another year coding it, it's been out for a year, so surely in another year they can start setting the Rommies down on paper. A lot of folks (myself included) have already given them tons of ideas on how to make them, and what to do with them.
They should be able to start penciling things in by June, writing code by December, and release maybe June 2012. These numbers are of course pulled out of my TRIBBLE, your TRIBBLE might come up with different numbers. Ultimately it's the numbers Stahl craps out that matter....or sneezes out as the case may be. (he has been sick lately lol)
I suppose they could start penciling things in now...the forum has presented them with a lot of ideas, it's just a matter of finding time in between coding content already on the to-do list, and planning seasons 4 and 5....well now hang on a tick....the game was released February, season 3 was released December. That's 3 seasons in 10 months. 3 1/3 months per season. So they should be able to get started on the Romulans in 6 2/3 months....JUNE! HA!! I might have been right!!:p
Of course it would also be prudent to put them up on Tribble first and let the community crank out a few foundry missions to help get them started. That is the purpose of Tribble, put new content there so we can beat the hell out of it and tell cryptic where it broke. So if they start with the story boards in June, we might see the Romulans on Tribble this time next year.

oops....guess I'll be on my way:p
As I already stated in my post, I think it is actually possible that the faction might get to be released by Dec 2011 (at the earliest). The hardest thing will be the content that would have to be developed simultaneously to updates for the existing factions - ships and clothes are fairly easy to do, judging from dev comments (a week for a player ship, iirc?).
by the way any one know if there is a thread about more slot for off duty?
