So I finally get to level 40 on my Romulan character only to find out I can't claim a Excelsior Cruiser Retrofit for this character, who is a Fed Faction Romulan.
Boo. I guess I won't be logging into my Romulan Character anymore.

How about instead of me "learn to play", you try and "learn to read".
There was very specific information released about the expansion before it came out,
One would figure that his word would have been enough not to worry about my only issue with the expansion. I guess not. One more reason not to spend any more money on this game either, beyond the Dill exchange crash.
Jim
nowhere in those quotes you found did Stahl say you get all of your ally's ships.
this is from April's Ask Cryptic:
This is from LoR blog #9 (the blog referenced in the above quote)
A month after the information I posted. Which is part of my point in my disappointment in this.
Access to your ally's ships is access to them.
The fact that they added restrictions a month after Dstahl said there would be access is not only disappointing, it's a used car salesmen tactic.
Jim
So you wanted to play a Romulan but fly a end game Federation ship well if Romulans could do that fly the end game ship of their ally choice why play anything other then play on the Romulan side?
These type of posts keep popping up so much. I just don't understand why people would think it is a good idea to hurt both the Fed and Klingon side by allowing Romulans to have unlimited access to their allies ships and technology.
You want to fly a Fed ship play on the Fed side.
You want to fly a Klingon ship play on the Klingon side.
You want to fly a Romulan ship play on the Romulan side.
If you bother to learn some English and read you'd understand the "variety" comment goes beyond the ships, but the over all Ally's faction.
No, restrictions specifically on ships were mentioned. Which was followed through by Dstahl about the ability to use your allies ships, without any restrictions being mentioned in the second quote.
Reading comprehension classes might be helpful to you before you continue to post.

Umm... just because you are basically being an TRIBBLE... "variety" is almost the definition of NON-specific. Specific would have been to list the ships available to romulans. It's about as specific as saying some ships, or many ships, or a few ships.
The only caveat that was made clear was that tier 5 allied ships would not be available, and that was only in a dev blog, and only after it was updated.
Yes the OP probably should have noticed the red line saying his character cannot use this item, but lets not be dicks about it.
The doors, Mister Scott!
Yep. It was changed. Because Romulan players would be bothered by people flying around in Federation or Klingon ships and ruining the immersion for a Romulan faction that already wasn't feeling like a true faction because they were being forced to ally with the Federation or the Klingons.
Huge rage threads were thrown up about the alliances, huge rage threads were thrown up about the ships. People pointed out that allowing end-tier Federation and Klingon ships would mean that we probably wouldn't see very many end game Romulan ships in-game at all. In the end, Cryptic decided that the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few, or the one and so Romulans don't get to fly around in T5 Federation or Klingon ships. That's it. Plain and Simple.
If you want to play with Starfleet ships, you roll a Starfleet toon.
If you want to play with KDF warships, you roll a KDF toon.

Cryptic developers were trying to decide how to handle an issue related to an UNRELEASED function.
They initially decided to release it one way.
Then, after discussion among themselves and the beta community, they chose to release it another way.
That is why it is called a development blog, not the ten developers' commandments etched in a stone tablet.
I am sorry you do not agree with the decision; however, I do. The developers cannot please everyone.
No, Dan wasn't being a used car salesman, what happened is that they released that info and most people hatred the very thought of it! Just click the "Great news" link in my signature. It'll take you to a thread that probably factored into their decision to change it to its current format.
Why would you want an excelsior anyway? Romulans trait favors cloaking, Romulan ships have cloaking. You're not capitalizing on the biggest advantage to being Romulan otherwise.
9 Episodes = 30+ episodes...?

It's pronounced "S.T.O." "Stow" sounds idiotic! lol
Reap what you sow, buddy. Your post was not polite, it was snarky and disrespectful, not to mention incorrect. Take your own advice.
:P
The doors, Mister Scott!
It was changed because of all the backlash from the community.
Both from Romulans who saw their immersion being broken by it and by Fed/KDF players who feared there wouldn't be a point in rolling Fed or KDF anymore since Romulans get everything of those factions anyway.
I think this is a good compromise, we get most of our Fed/KDF consoles yet we are reminded that we Romulans are supposed to be flying warbirds at T5.
Syrian Rebels: Oooh does that mean we can have one of your state of the art Daring class T45 Destroyers?
British PM: Errr bloody no!
Think I made my point.
