Well Sela did show up at Brea where Hakeev was planning to open up the big Gateway, so I guess it remains to be seen what the relationship between Sela and Hakeev was prior to his death. (and yes he is dead after that episode - he is blown to smithereens ala Jack Skelington on Xmas by your torpedo volley)
Going back to the opening post's topic , I think Sela is also likely going to be our tutorial guide for a Romulan faction(taking advantage of Denise Crosby's studio visit).

If you mean a playable faction, I just don't see how that can be when there apparantly are no immediate plans to further carve out KDF content.

Yeah thats true unless they just plan to bridge the KDF into the fed side as one faction/alliance like it was during TNG/DS9(Mostly large fed faction with side KDF sub faction with exclusive content to KDF toons which would affect my 15 kdf toons lol). Just to skip the KDF and move onto a romulan one.
With my almost 3 decades of gameplay in internet games I predict thats how its going to go down. Although I want the KDF to be a full faction I doubt it will ever happen. The rough part though is in the franchise the romulan and klingon content are neck and neck so we may end up having 2 sub factions unfinished and one slightly finished fed one.
Edit: Only side note is that it will prolly have the KDF that way and although the nausicaans, orions, gorn, letheans etc would never join the federation or really be a part of it... It won't theme well but will happen because of the fact that integrity of canon is rarely valued before implementing occurs.
The Romulans, however, were at one time allied with Klingons. Maybe something is being cooked up in that direction.
Actually, the Romulan - Klingon relationship is on and off.
They were rivals until the mid 23rd Century, had a brief alliance where the Romulans exchanged their Cloaking Devices for Klingon D7s, then a few years later they fought at the Klach Dkel Bracht. Were friends again from the end of the 23rd Century to the early-to-mid 24th Century, when the Romulans attacked Khitomer. Were rivals until the Dominion War invasion, and went back to fighting when Klingons took back Khitomer and occupied Romulan Territory.

yes, let's try to keep klingon-romulan interactions that don't involve disruptor blasts to the face to a minimum please...it's bad enough so many of our proud warriors have been reduced to picking up hunks of rock, collecting water samples, and chasing mutant space bunnies THAT WE CAN'T EVEN EAT!
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
If people actually do NOT think May is the Romulan player faction, I find this hilarious.
Due to the build up, hype and secrecy I'd be pretty disappointed if the romulans wasn't a playable 3rd faction come may. I do think sela will be the leader, or at least the person at centre of the story that brings the rse back together. Maybe that is going to be largely thanks to Denise Crosby's voice over work as sela.
I do wonder how much it can cost for voice over work of known characters?
Have to say tor is a fully voice over mmo and a lot of them voices used in that game are pretty rubbish. It's nice to see sto trying to use top quality when they can
Gotta disagree. I think they do a fantastic job at voice acting quality.
Not at all. It's over loaded with poor VO and some of that is down regional accents easily noticeable for me in the uk. The accents for some is far too strong. It's almost comical. Some work is top quality that's for sure. But I'd say most are just reading words with bad accents or giving a hollow performance = read words, get paid.
Seriously picture this old obi-wan saying 'use the force Luke' in a strong brummie accent?
So it's nice that Sto is trying for quality over quantity that's what I'm saying in essence. And I would expect another good VO for sela when the time comes
Personally I think Denise Crosby was a great choice to approach. Would be nice to see others add their voice to the game. Maybe data, worf, the emh, garak,
Odo? quark and rom would be pretty cool in a ferengi series. Just some characters that are/might be alive in the time line.
My idea is that the Tholians will eventually become the Iconians, then travel back in time to become the Demons of Air & Darkness mentioned in the TNG episode.
Actually M-theory supports Delta Vega being closer New universe, new rules, even astrophysics
I read an interview with the writers, and one mentioned it was more dramatic to have Spock watching with his face, rather than peering through a telescope. Concessions made for movies looking good is fine by me.
I can tell you what will happen at the end of the countdown: several days of forum rioting that could have easily been avoided by just killing a rumor before it got this big.
My outside guess of what the actual event will be is a trailer and opening of the beta testing for an upcoming featured episode of Sela, having formed an alliance with the Iconians, returning to claim new Romulus with her fleet fitted with Iconian technology (grab some antiproton resistant hulls & shields). The Iconian ship that towed away the Leahval beamed up Hakeev's body and now he's an Iconian corps puppet. We'll get some cool Iconian weapons and a for a limited time maybe an Iconian, Romulan corps puppet boff or something close to that.
All of that is pure 100% speculation based on 3 teaser images and a hand full of story element. Every word of it could be wrong.
There are a lot of people who are absolutely convinced on the basis of that same amount of info that by the end of the week they will already be able to play as part of an entire new faction. They're so convinced they're already in fights about it. I can't say they're wrong because I don't actually know they are. And no one involved in public relations for the game has made the responsible choice and taken the opportunity to cut off the riot before it starts by saying that isn't happening either. Instead they've done a lot of winking and nodding saying "You'll just have to wait to find out if it is because when we decide on a PR strategy we stick to it long after everyone else has figured out part of its going very wrong"
If/when that timer hits zero and it's an ad, there will probably be a firestorm of people saying they were promised a 3rd faction, people pointing out they never confirmed (or denied) that, that will bringing up all memories of other times Cryptic has handled something like this (arguably) poorly and then that will quickly turn into personal attacks of people calling each other fan boys and trolls, and then people calling for the mods and devs to all be fired, a lot of hate at Perfect world and some opinions about China that go into some really ugly areas.
No one will be fired because they can accurately point to the fact that the strategy generated a hundred million posts worth of traffic on the site and that there's no real quantifying of positive vs negative buzz as long as players don't quit the game in huge numbers. Even if some people did quit a free game over something like this the numbers would be more than cancelled out by the people coming back to play the new content, which may be good but just not what people were expecting.
Ps, And there's a slight chance the prices of everything that costs dilithium will go up 30,000%. It's a real long shot but I just think everyone should brace themselves just to be on the safe side.
Pps, Although I got 5 credits says they nerf the Romulan plasma weapon set. (that one I actually do think will happen
Um... seriously? Personally I think the fact that the Devs HAVEN'T squashed the idea that it's a faction says volumes. Stahl got on the forums and talked about the way the Romulan story arc has gone int the game and Sela and Hakeev's potential motives for doing things. He did that in a thread dedicated to speculating about the faction.... Obviously he knows that people think it's a faction.

But dastahl keeps saying 'may' for Klingon specific content. When asked questions on podcasts etc
Stahl saying "may" is generally code to mean for perhaps in the next decade <coughs> errr perhaps not that long from now.

Uhm....NO!
And NO! :mad:
Don't ask why, just......no!
P.S. And stop giving them bad ideas! :rolleyes:
hahahaha ... soooo true
I'd like to believe just like I'd like to believe in some kind paradisiac life beyond the present reality, but...you know.

Could Hakeev have been Tomalok and Sela's son?
