All Romulans should be joining the KDF

From the initial mission storylinethe only choice that makes any sense at all is for the Romulans to join forces with the KDF.
Why you ask?
During the Incidents at the colonies and later at Khitomer, the only assistance from Either Faction comes from the intervention of the IKS Kang. The Federation seems to be unwilling to assist when distress calls are going out, they see this as an Internal matter and do not seem to be investigating any claims otherwise.
As a fledgling captain for the Romualn Republic, Why would I choose to join a group that ignores our pleas for assitance?

Because of better fleet options, and a unificationist leader.
Also, nice costumes!

Still, yes it did feel like they're trying to not so subtly push you toward the KDF.
How many times do we have to say it to people. They NEED armored/spiked boots since the men all wear metal jockstraps, how else will they teach the male population what is and is not acceptable?
srsly he wont shut up, he talks forever if you humor him. and its all nonsense!
at least the kdf respect strength and honor.
It's the Tal'shiars doing, Sela lied.
Vengeance is born, with eternal scorn.
New Romulus rises.
No.
I play Starfleet and KDF equally, but the substandard treatment of the KDF has caused me to actively avoid their gameplay whenever given the chance.
My foremost issue is the fact that the KDF bugs are never fixed.
The one that irritates me most has gone unfixed for over a year, despite reminding cryptic once a week on average to fix it.
My secondary issue is it's not KDF gameplay, it's Klingon gameplay.
The Orions, Nausicaans, Gorn and Letheans are all overlooked in terms of story content.
I never approved of the Klingons anyway, their obsession with honor and conquest is repellant to me.
Also, since my Captain is not Klingon (and is in fact is from a planet very far from Klingon space), he would not support the Klingon way at all.
And the third issue is that should a KDF officer chose a peaceful resolution, it still comes out violent.
So, given how bad the so-called KDF faction is, why would any player subject themselves to that willingly if they were given another option?
Bees like honey, they don't like vinegar.
Everytime someone makes a character that is an copy of an existing superhuman, Creativity is sad
The same reason people have been playing KDF since it launched. They hope and dream better things are down the road. Hope springs eternal my friend.
What bug is that?
They want to help you build New Romulus and bring the Tal Shiar to justice. The Klingons only want to hunt the Tal Shiar.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
system Lord Baal is dead
before and after siding with kdf, some sliders.
Would be nice to have the choice for what face style to use though
Apparently that's a bug.
It'd be nice if there was a hard incentive for players to go Rom-KDF.
You get absolutely no help from the feds, Sugohara pretty much just talks your ear off, ALL THE INFILTRATORS ARE FEDS (no klingon/KDF race infiltrators), and it pretty much just sours you on the fed.
I mean I was playing a character who, thematically, was my fed main's first officer.
And I *still* felt like I made the wrong choice picking fed.
The turning point mission needs changes, and in general there needs to be more fed friendly dialogue and selling of the faction to the player.
In specific, I'd like to see:
1. Randomize the infiltrators during "The Turning Point" so they're not all feds, but a mix of feds and KDF.
2. Receive aid from a fed diplomatic ship during the space portion of "The Turning Point". Starfleet loves to send Galaxy classes on diplomatic missions, so have the USS Venture or something show up half-way through the mission.
I mean the Kang pops out and starts helping you- but the Fed should be delayed. The Kang represents the Klingons and their glory in battle, honorable combat, and standing together.
The Venture (or whatever) should show up for the fight with Hakeev (and that fight should be beefed up accordingly).
There should be some added dialogue, where the captain of the Kang is like "If you wanted glory, you should've been here earlier", and Sugohara goes "Well starfleet doesn't just go charging off when there are wounded to be treated" (or something along those lines).
Basically you need to not just have it be KLINGONS KLINGONS KLINGONS, and actually sell the starfleet side of things.
Frankly, the one not showing me their TRIBBLE.
I didn't feel any particular urging from the story to go KDF.
The Feds haven't stepped in before because, yes, it's an internal matter among the Romulans. As far as they are concerned, D'tan's faction including yourself is a rebel group opposing the legitimate Imperial government. D'tan set up the conference precisely because he wanted to be legitimized as a political entity, which is what it takes for the Federation to do business with them. And they didn't offer help AT the conference because if they did, the Klingons would call them out for violating the cease fire agreement.
If anything, the fact that Ja'ord is willing to bend his orders and go in guns blazing on your behalf just because he has a good feeling about you should raise some serious flags about how stable and reliable the KDF is.
No one was wounded when you beamed up. Tovan just recognized Elachi energy signatures in space.
I don't think you get the picture. Khitomer is in Klingon space. The Klingons had allowed 3 foreign delegations there, the Federation, the Romulan Empire and the Romulan Republic. The Romulan Empire brought along uninvited allies (the Elachi) and multiple cloaked warships who attacked the Romulan Republic,. Ja'rod wasn't bending any orders, the Romulan Empire violated the terms under which they were allowed there.
And the Federation should by now have gotten that the Klingons don't respect people who stay back during a battle. The longest-lasting peace with the Klingons was due to the actions of the Enterprise-C. And Fed who had half a brain would try to repeat that any chance they get.

You'd unwittingly aid in the underhanded assimilation of the Romulan people into the Federation.
Going from one political nightmare into another, with little concern to non-protocol.
Hell, just look at the Maquis! Starfleet left them to the hounds when it was considered 'politically inconvenient.'
Just to save their own hides. Now, at least the Imperial Empire has some honesty and good reasoning behind
their actions, just look at the Gorn subjugation- it was to annihilate Undine infiltrators. Not to mention they're
at least a bit more like the old Romulan Star Empire and are known to be similar in mentality to the Romulans.
They've even made alliances with Romulans before which were historically beneficial for both sides.
As I've said before, Mirai, it simply isn't Klingon to go into battle with an Earth fashion sense. :rolleyes:
The female romulan klingon uniforms have two boot styles with high heels and no spikes.
To be fair, it's easier for a Romulan to claim to be Vulcan than any of the Klingon races.
Not even taking into account that the Klingons and Romulans like each other just about as much as Klingons and Cardassians do.
