Let the Republic be Romulan

Dear Cryptic,
I know this might be a slightly difficult thing to do, but I have some things I'd like to see changed when the Romulans choose an allegiance. I allied with the Klingons since I know when the real release date comes out I will be going with Federation. I wanted to see how different it was. I'm sure my observations are the same on the Fed side as the KDF side, just less extreme.
I noticed that if I was doing a mission that was tied to the Klingon government, and not the Romulan Republic, that my crew were very different. I did some missions that I clearly remember never playing, I don't know if they are Romulan geared or if they are some of the ones added to the earlier levels of the KDF. I know they treated me as if I wasn't fully Klingon, so I figured they were Romulan-Klingon aimed.
Nevertheless, all of a sudden my crew and even the words my captain was saying in dialog were very Klingon. As if overnight my crew was completely brainwashed by a Klingon School Teacher. They cared nothing for life, fought in the name of glory and honor, even if it meant destroying a Starbase just for the sake of ending a weapons route. I had no options, it was do it or not.
Yes this is war, and war isn't always fair. But these are Romulan Republic Officers here! D'Tan would never sanction such brutal acts of mercilessness. We hardly tried to talk through it diplomatically. The base didn't come right out and say they were doing it, so kill them all. Fortunately a Tal Shiar Warbird decloaked and we destroyed it instead.
This is of course the Klingon Allegiance and so it is clearly seeable where the personality discrepancies are, but the Federation side must be geared somewhat similarly just that both the Republic and the Federation are both of a more peaceful mindset. I myself want this fixed. If I play a Romulan, I expect to play a Romulan, regardless of what faction my alliance with is.
I should not be a Klingon taskmaster or a Federation bureaucrat. I should be a Romulan or Reman who is fighting for freedom from the Tal Shiar and doing what they think is needed. Likely this will be more forceful than the Federation would appreciate, but more gentle then a Klingon would tolerate. Thank you for reading.

I found the sudden use of Klingon parlance to be completely out of place, and the inclusion of KDF BOffs was unnecessary, and unwelcome on the bridge of my warbird...they will find a nice home on the exchange, as training fodder, or dismissed altogether before I ever consider using them.
On a plus note, the arc has been intriguing. I look forward to moving futher down the story after the level-cap is removed (or May 21...whichever comes first

Yes, it was those... if its a bug then there should be no issue on Holodeck. I hope its a bug.

I know it's a lot of work, but hey, adding a new faction is a lot of work, so be prepared to do it right, y'know? Give the Genesis missions a bit of love so Romulans get appropriate text.
What do you mean - I finished it. (AFAIK.)
[Kluless][Kold][Steel Heels][Snagtooth]
[Louis Cipher][Outta Gum][Thysa Kymbo][Spanner][Frakk]
[D'Mented][D'Licious]

You sure can. You just need to follow the actual text of the mission, rather than the bullet-point checklist. It was tricky, and subtle, and probably poorly orchestrated...but the info is there.

When I completed it (in my KDF BoP no less!) the end text said and I quote "To Do: Add Text"
My character is a Romulan, regardless of the faction I'm allied with. Let my character stay a Romulan.
See I did not get that, becasue I did not bother hailing them I'm not part of Starfleet so why would I bother hailing them..... I cloaked and attacked.
