Well done, Cryptic. Not only have you added a VERY cool race but you've also seemingly completed the Klingon faction. In my books this MUST be applauded.
HUZZAH!!!

ZOMG Nice, since i started playing that was all i wanted. Here cryptic you can take all my money now
You know what the hardest thing will be? Starting fleets for the Romulans and having to build up to get cool fleet gear.
Gentleman. Prepare your grinding!!
Out of curiosity, Cryptic, there are quite a few things that are cross-factional, like ships. I understand that opening a lockbox ship on a Rumulan wouldn't pose any problems but would existing DOFF packs contain Romulan DOFFs?
If it is a paid expansion I would sincerely hope that life time subscribers would get it free!!
Any word on this, devs?
Branflakes said it is free already. Of course you know most goodies will be shop "optional"... :rolleyes:

I always thought they looked kinda costumey, those huge shoulder pads didn't feel like a functional uniform to me.
That's good. I must have missed that announcement though.
I kind of wonder if the Remans will be part of the Romulan faction. There was that whole FE series with the Remans that dealt with their wanting independence from the Romulans.
Go back under the bridge where you came from infidel.... damn i hate when people cant be happy of new content but instead whine and complain again... GTFO!!!!!!
How about Cardassians?
Completely agree, the D'deridex is, IMO, one of the best looking ships in Star Trek. I wouldn't mind taking a Mogai Warbird out for a spin either, the only reason I watch Nemesis anymore is to see them in action.
I remember reading that if they did Romulans (this was several months ago) and they went over well that they might release a future expansion with the Cardassians, or the Dominion, or even the Borg.
Is nobody going mention how this is the last nail for small fleets?
More rep sinks, a whole faction full of new fleets to divert resources to, the loss of players from Fed and KDF to Romulan, yadda yadda...
At least with season 7, they made the new content boring, and the new gear useless in pvp so that the few who stuck around went back to contributing to the fleet after completing the rep. I mean, what else were they going to do?
With this update appearing to add actual content, I fear it spells the end.
Actually I was alluding to this, as you can tell from the title of my post. It was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek.
If another resource sink is what is required for (what looks to be) fun content, then I'll dump more resources into the sink. My Fed fleet will suffer for sure, but unless the new content is more bunny chasing, I'll be too busy with that to care
I'm excited for the new content and exciting options I can take with the Romulan faction...But I have to agree in that I fear this is going to weaken KDF even more. Content is scarce for the Klingon faction and now with resources diverted to the Romulan content, it just seems like we are never gonna get a new ship pack, costumes or any other kind of "enhancements" for the KDF for a long time. Not to mention the grinding it's gonna take for the smaller fleets to finish anything with the resources split three ways.
While I am excited (believe me!), I'm also dreading the grinding that might be required.
I know that I'm going to have to put resources in but I don't see it as a "sink". I see it as if I want to gain the most enjoyment out of the upcoming new content then I'll have to earn my rewards.
Let the earning begin!!!
Personally I think it's too early to make assumptions. One could just as easily assume that there will be more content, ships and other goodies for the Klingons to fully flesh them out. I think the best thing to do is wait until more info is released. Get the facts from the correct source instead of making up and spreading rumours.
I'm not making up any rumors; I was just stating some fears I had for the game. But I think your right and should just wait for more information to come out.
Isn't the Romulan Star Empire gone since the destruction of Romulas? New name for a new Planet kinda thing? You can still be backstabbing and as mischievous as you want.
My hope is that you can choose how you want to play as a Romulan. I can definitely see people wanting to play a badass backstabbing, cunning, and ruthless romulan, but at the same time there are those people that may want to play as a noble and honest romulan (as ironic and non-canon as that sounds).
All hands! Prepare the popcorn and tinfoil hats!
The Romulans broke into two factions. A bunch of goody-little-two-shoes broke off and started their own state that is looking for peaceful cohabitation with the Federation and many want eventual union with Vulcan. They "desire to live peacefully, leaving behind the secrecy and deception forced upon them by the Star Empire."
In other words, they're not really Romulans any more...
