I love playing my reman. but the romulan republic is very limited in its playable races. I would ove to see sulubon or Cardasians join the republic. they would add a much needed divercity and new interesting reactions to the federation or the empire. new ship options and clothing options for the new races would be interesting aswell.

I would also like to see more romulan ship layouts. a more reman interier would be fun.

    How about Nero's Modified Mining vessel?
    That was a badass ship in JJ's Trek.

    The Suliban are the most likely since they play a part in the early missions.

    Cardassia seems to have been a Federation protectorate since the end of the Dominion War so it's unlikely unless the introduce them as a playable race for all three factions like the Joined Trill. (There's more basis for a multi-faction Cardassian playable species than a Joined Trill given the sample size of one for the Trill.)

    More ship interiors and body customization would be nice, but I'm willing to bet that a high degree of customization hasn't been a selling point for Cryptic since Champions Online went zombie and that's why you haven't seen it too often.

    Cardassians are the 4th faction if they make it to the game , don't expect it in 2014 though.
    When it comes it will be same format as Romulan faction no doubt.

    Still even though it might be only a demi faction I can't wait to be a true Cardassian not an alien one.

    The Corvallens are mercenaries and traders

    http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Corvallen

    that have worked for the Romulans, maybe a few of them would be interested in dealing with independent Romulan colonies and the Republic.;)
    They could be what the Nausicaans are for the Klingons.

    In the "Countdown" Comics the Remans had smaller destroyer-like ships

    that would certainly need to be drastically reworked to look presentable but hey, everything in those comics looked kinda ugly.

    And we know it's possible to convert stuff from those comics into something presentable from another example.

    Cardassian space is way too far from the Romulan Republic to be a good option. And I want to play a Cardy at some point. My main Fed is a Cardassina (Alien).

    technically its already in game. cant use the exact model and origin, since the ship never appeared in anything in its borgified form as the narada in ST 09. the tal shiar adated ships are basically the same ship, just a different base form.

    The only weapons that it appeared to use were the shrapnel torpedoes, it also took all the weapons fire thrown at it, no evidence of any shields. A mining ship is no different from a freighter, the drill unit could have been an add-on.

    I would very much like to see the Corvallens, Yiridians, and Suliban added to the Republic. Then there would be 5 base species much like how the KDF had 5 species at launch.

    Yeah I was gonna point this out.

    As for Suliban, thatd be kinda cool, Yridians... well Im meh on them as a race in general but I cant see where itd hurt the game much.

    Since Suliban and Acamarian personnel can be obtained as DOffs by Romulans through Recruitment assignments, they would seem to be the logical first choice for additional playable races in the Romulan faction.

    As far as the Cardassians, that's already been addressed with reference to the fact of distance and their being under Federation wings as some sort of protectorate, but I would like to add that I hope the Romulan Gameplay doesn't become cluttered up with more efforts to promote the idea of a Cardassian faction.

    I think it would be itneresting if the Xindi also made an apearence.. all of the varried races would make up many of the lacking races of the republic.

    adding all 5 xindi races to the romulans wouldn't work. at least not for the aquatics, insectoids 50/50 on that, but the other 3 would be good. I'd love to make a reptilian

    Reptilian could be a varient of the Gorn. Humanoid and Aboreal would be easy to create as one species. Yes, insectoids would be neat, but would require being a separate species.

    How about the Garidians, Chalchaj'qmey, Watraii, V'gelnians, etc. (?)

    Garidians are from another game so they're impossible.
    V'gelnians are from a 30 year old FASA RPG so they're probably also impossible.
    The Watraii are basically inbred Vulcanoids wo hate the Romulans not sure if they'd be interested in joining the Repblic.
    Also just like the Chalchaj'qmey they're from the novels and I'm not so sure Cryptic can get the rights to them. The Chalchaj'qmey might be even trickier than the Watraii because the novels by Shatner are set in their own little universe (called Shatnerverse) and are not even considered canon to the other Pocket Book novels.

    Yeah I know it's confusing and it stinks.
    Canon races are our best bet at this point.

    It's just a proposal, some of these suggestions seem very inappropriate for Romulans or Remans.

    Romulans already have access to the alien generator. Join one of the primary factions, if you don't think that's diluting enough. I can't even recruit Romulan DOFFs in the command center, since you got Xeno that invite themselves over. The choices are limited for a reason. And they went too far already. IMHO of course. Obviously there can be zero agreement here. :P
