I am NOT a Starfleet officer!

Please, Cryptic, I can't take it any more. Please go through all the cross-faction missions and change the dialogue so people don't constantly talk to my Romulan as if he was a Starfleet* officer. The Republic is a Federation* ally, not a member.
Some missions have this fixed, but the vast majority (including pretty much all the dailies) do not. And a few, like "Cold Call", do both -- Ambassador Surah calls me a Starfleet officer, while Thot When laments that all the Romulans didn't die in the Hobus nova.
*Same goes for KDF, obviously.

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

Yeah, please guys, fix this stuff. Just a little late night text editing is all we ask here. Please.
"My race? My kid sister is dating your 2d cousin, ya doofus! If you're not paying any closer attention than this, I can only hope the Elachi are harvesting those of us who match you in IQ and observational skills."
Always seems to be the small things in STO which are the most annoying.
And to me it sucks big time. If I play as Romulan, I'm Romulan. Was it really that hard to do the faction that little bit of justice to be treated by the game as such?
The sad part is - I can't really expect a fix on this anytime soon, especially when there are still KDF missions I play where they tell me "You're the pride of Starfleet!". *facepalm*

Excuse me..... It was ME and MY crew that discovered New Romulus. :P
Kidding aside, the Dev team really should tighten up the QA side of the house. I'd be happy if they'd release a patch or three which repaired/replaced all the rest of the minor problems which take away so very much of the enjoyment in playing STO.
YOu glory stealing ****! It was me and MY crew who fought those Tholian prats and claimed our new home!
In particular, why does a Republic character go to Deferia? My understanding is that it is more or less first contact between the Deferi and the Federation since there hasn't been much interplay between the Federation and the Deferi (most species who make PEACEFUL contact with the Federation end up becomming members after less than 100 years). For the Klingon Empire, the Deferi provided assistance to an Emperor in antiquty thereby froing Jim'pok to assist in order to fulfill the debt of honor the Klingons owe to the Deferi.
My question is, why would a Republic character be visiting and assisting the Deferi? Is it that the Romulans had prior contact sometime in the past? Are the Deferi reaching out to the Republic seeing them as bringing balance to the turmoil and chaos caused by the Hobrus Disaster? Or is it that D'Tan send the Romulan/Reman/Alien character on a courtesy call and they get caught in the middle of the Breen/Deferi spat?
Yes, it may be the ally who asks the character to go visit the Deferi, and it may be Ambassador Surah himself that invites the character. That is not the point. I want to see a uniquely Romulan reason why a Republic character is fighting the Breen on behalf of the Deferi. A reason not motivated by the Federation nor the Klingon Empire.
Several attempts at killing the ironic NPC with my Bat'Leth were unsuccessful. :P
...and, that is why there is a sense of irony to the Romulan faction.
I feel your pain.
Wouldn't she, of all people, be the expert?

Was it Breen? Or was it Dominion? As I recall, "The New Link" was originally just a Fed mission they copied over to KDF without any real changes. THAT was the mission I remembered where Klingons in escape pods were saying "I knew Starfleet would rescue us!". What I should have looked closely was if those same NPCs had the Klingon or Starfleet symbol by their information bar when you select them.
You're absolutely right. I must have been blinded by rage. I should have left those ungrateful petaQ there to suffer.
Color choice aside though, I myself get a bit irked when reff'ed to as Starfleet. tweeking the game a bit to fix the apparant identity issues especially with the Romulan NPC's would go along way in making game play for the Romulan faction more enjoyable and give the experiance more of what it CAN be.
