Playable Cardassian

Ah, so I have been em reading the Titan books, and well. Honestly, I having had made a Cardassian BOFF, and I know several in my group who have made Cardassian COs. I'm just wondering, and this would be for BOTH factions. If one day in the very, far, far future of STO. If anyone here would be game for playable Cardassian and I mean true Cardassian. C'mon you know you've done the whole guide and made one as an alien.
Still, wouldn't it be something, and of course they'd have their own little buffs. So, yes, no, or are we still pondering on the faction, honestly I don't see a Cardy faction happening but I do see a playable Cardy Captain.
If you are in support, of course why, and no then why on your not supporting this, and of course, buffs, what are your ideas for buffs. Don't ask me I'm like stupid when it comes to this stuff, and it's the very reason I ask the folks in my Fleet, so I make sure I am building what I actually want to build as I move along.
The reason I'm asking you lot on buffs is that I want to see what you come up with, and it might help me overall understand more of what the heck goes on in my skill tree. =]

I'm thinking they should have an attribute that makes them resilient to heat damage but more affected by cold (a variant of the Cold Blooded trait). They would have Acute Senses (they have good eyesight). Metal Discipline would be an option.
In cannon they point out that Cardassian men are good tacticians but bad theorists, and the reverse for Cardassian women, which does explains why all of the CU scientists and techs that appear in DS9 are gals.
To go along with this the male and female Cardassians could have slightly different traits like was done with the Orions.
On an unrelated note, Cardassians were said to have bad hearing so you could argue that cancels out the better eyesight (i.e. make Acute Senses an optional trait instead of a required one).
Indeed, we have Ferengi, and Caitian but no Cardassian. Do you think this could be something pushed out for Season 8?

I feel a Cardassian Boff would be unwise in the Empire. Instead, another species (Talarian?) should be given to the Klingons instead.
As do I,but I do not look forward to learning that the KDF is about to go against its on grain and become a helping hand to the Cardassians as well when the Devs are unable to expand beyoind the fed mindset for writing the expansion.
R.I.P
The Kinshaya are also one of those traditional rivals of the Klingons, and the Tzenkethi... I don't think they would suit it, just an opinion based on researching Memory Beta. I can certainly possibly see the Talarians.

And most likely, it would have cost even more Zen that I could use for other things such as ships.
Exactly!
Along with getting bonuses for having a playable Cardassian, the traits that are possible that could coincide with buffs for space/ground. I myself have created a Cardassian BOFF but I'd love to recieve a Cardi Boff or Captain. Just to have more to the game.

It would be nice if they were actual Cardassians instead of "aliens".
don't get get your hopes up I would rather have playable cardassian but we are getting romulans first
As for Starfleet Command races; there's a whole lot they could use there (they've even got more information on the Tholians that would be linked up). However, just as we can't get ships from the DS9: Dominion Wars game, I doubt we'll be able to have species from the Starfleet Command games.
But we got a Galor before we got a Deridex. O.o
I'm pretty sure they left them out because they wanted to make them part of a faction, the same reason the Romulans & Jem'hadar aren't playable races even though they are more prominently featured than Tellarites, Saurians, Pakled etc
I'm assuming they are still holding that as an eventual goal, since they could honestly make a ton of money off selling these race unlocks on the C-store. We know Cryptic loves to make money hand over fist, so it only makes sense that they have their reasons for not adding them yet. Maybe with the game doing much better monetarily since F2p, additional factions may actually happen one day.
As I recall. Cryptic actually regrets releasing the Galor.
It'd be nice to have the option to select a preconfigured cardie and then adjust things like scale depth or whatever, but I'm happy having shapeshifting aliens.
If PW or Cryptic or CBS or whoever runs this now wants to make a for-zen cardie, by all means, just don't change the alien options for the rest of us.
It's just something nice to have as an option even if you have to purchase through the Z-Store.
Pfft.
They can barely manage a KDF faction and this little Romulan faction will be fun for a while yes, but as I've stated in previous posts. Without a full fledged unique 50 level pve storyline. I refuse to level my Orion which means nothing to Cryptic I guess since I don't spend my money on KDF items. only Fed.
I wish they'd jjust start incorperating these other races into the two current factions and focus on what they have.

Dukat? Heh, Garak all the way.
I don't think making the True Way ally with the KDF would make sense given that we had the Klingons fight against the True Way in one of the Devidian Arc episodes. Furthermore...I doubt even the True Way would forgive the Klingons for what they did to Septimus III. Klingons and Cardassians are like oil and water.
But I would LOVE Cardassians as a playable race for the Federation. With proper necks and hairstyles suited to them.
As far as what traits they should have, I would say that based on the show, "Acute Senses" is a bad choice. However, I DO think that "Mental Discipline" would be a suitable preset trait, given Gul Dukat's little mind-meld-breaking demonstration, and the numerous references throughout DS9 to the Cardassians' eidetic memory and discipline.

Kazon. They'd be perfect. Bad haircuts all around.
bit harsh on the klingons there.
But how ich can build a beautiful uniform? I tend to Omega Outfit?
(Scource: Ask Cryptic, Dec.2012)
I just hope that we'll be able to get a re-species token from the c-store by that time, so I can convert my Cardassian/Alien Galor Captain (and his rare/very-rare all-Cardie Doff Cadre.
They should also include the realistic neck.

And playable Romulans too.
Oh well. Have to settle for the alien template, but one can always hope!
