    for the possible ranking progression this is what was used in the show http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Romulan_ranks

    Uhlan-lowest level in the guard guess same as a starfleet ensign

    sublieutenant- my guess starfleet Lt. JG

    Lieutenant- starfleet lieutenant (never apeared in show)

    Centurion- equal to starfleet's Lt. Commander

    Subcommander- equal to a starfleet commander

    Commander- equal to starfleet captain

    Admiral

    General

    well, at least that was for lore concerns, untrue as they were, and not just run of the mill anti-furry BS

    Oh I bet it will come though.

    How much is it going to cost? Or will it be free and will lifetime members have to pay anything?

    Ok, with the new Romulan Expansion coming we need to address the races allowed as well as new races that need to be added to each faction:

    ROMULAN REPUBLIC:
    Romulan: Obvious choice
    Reman: Obvious choice
    Hirogen: Allies of the old regime; some clans may ally with the new republic
    Corvallen: Allies of the old regime; some may ally with the new republic
    Boslic: The republic needs a race as business savy as the Ferengi (Feds) and Orions (KDF)

    FEDERATION:
    Denobulan: Way over due
    Talaxian: Way over due
    Ocampa: Way over due
    Edosian: These tripods from the animated series may be related to the Undine, with the latter being Augments

    KLINGON EMPIRE:
    Chalnoth: A perfect addition to the empire
    Arin'Sen: A subject race already
    Krisosian: A subject race already

    * CARDASSIAN UNION:
    When this faction drops it should include:
    Cardassian: Obvious choice
    Kazon: The Kazon Seska sect would readily ally themselves to the union
    Son'a: They allied with the Cardassians and the Dominion during the war by making and supplying ketracel white for them
    Tarlac: A Son'a subject race
    Ellora: A Son'a subject race

    * MISCELLANEOUS:

    1) Add hair as an option for female Bolians; the very first Bolian seen on TNG had hair

    2) The Debrune: Just as the Romulans split from the Vulcans, the Debrune split form the Romulans and have since vanished. What happened to them and their empire? In Star Trek Nemesis, the spear that Nero carries is a Debrune artifact

    I can't wait!!!

    But it's going to be funny when in year or two from now, people will complain about the Romulan faction not finished yet when they announce the Cardassian faction. LOL

    From the Legacy page:
    Start as any Faction

    Create your first character as a member of the Federation, Klingon Empire, or Romulan Republic and level your captain from 1 to 50.

    *applauds wildly*

    I have a lot of digging to do, but thank you for not butchering this.

    So far, it looks tremendous, both as a Star Trek fan, and a video game junkie.

    Very excited about playable Romulans, however, a countdown to an announcement of a future release date?

    Next time save the dramatic countdown for the release please.

    nemesis? nero was from 2009, not nemesis

    shinzon was from nemesis

    DEATH TO THE FEDERATION!!!

    DISHONOR TO THE KLINGONS!!!!

    HELLO ROMULAN GLORY!!!

    LOL

    Seriously thou, and I know this is something that isn't said very often (without sarcasim)... thank you Cryptic!

    I had some downtime away from STO in January because of having surgery, and in that time I realized just how bored I was with the grind and just the game in general. I know in the end the Romulan faction will be just as much grind as the Fed, but new characters to make, and new ships to fly that aren't Fed or Fed allies and more importantly new story to be had.

    I'm hoping the romulan ranking system goes more like this:

    http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/9574/romulanofficerranks.jpg


    Another change I'd like to see in this udpate is the removal of Rear Admiral Lower & Upper Half and have Commodore & Rear Admiral. I still have no idea why Cryptic went with their current choice.

    I guess some of the KDF people missed that they're getting a minimum of 20 new levels of content.

    How sad for them.

    They already have said that a cardassian faction is coming out in season 9 or 10 and 9 will be released later this year so why release this if they are going to half do this one like they did the kdf

    You are one of the survivors...

    I was reading the new site and one of the first things I read was that. Could you imagine if we were playing a romulan who didn't survive.

    that would make the faction experience rather short, methinks

    Wow, you honestly surprised me with this one. 1-50 content in a new faction and fleshing out the KDF side for a complete 1-50 storyline experience?

    At least I hope that's what you mean for the KDF - I would actually play that side too then.

    Well I said I'd become cynical and thought playable Romulans were unlikely to happen and if they did I'd say "Well done".

    So...

    Well, to be fair he did say later that the big complaint was lack of end game content.... ofcourse the KDF has the exact same amount of end game content as the Federation.

    Will this mean....

    Exchange will have the ability to select certain faction related items off the exchange? Right now its a mess with Klingon and Fed items intermixed with no way of sorting for faction only items like for Doffs or reward packs.... Insert faction number 3 and oh boy utter cluster ... you get the picture?
