Will we see Cardassia as Playable?

There are some star trek locations that I thought would have been playable by now.
to name a few:
Cardassia
Betazed
Tellar
Qo'nos - (since the war is now over)
Iconia - would be kind of neat.
etc.

"Playable" for 4 years now ... including 2 Revamps ... you just have to be on the right Team ... (war may be "KIND OF" over, but they're still far from "Allied", and even if they were it was never exactly "Shore Leave" for FED Captains to visit Qo'nos ... Picard i.E.)
As for the other places ... like some DEV said .... they'll add places eventually if there is something to do there ...
- Cardassia -> maybe if the add Cardies as the next Mini-Faction, some day (you can go visit the Cardassian Ministry of Culture in "Tear of the Prophets" already, though ...)
- Tellar Prime, Betazed -> doubtful ...
- Iconia -> go play "Taris" (Romulan Story Arc) again "playable" for 4 years ... not sure what you'd expect from it, though ... it's been abandoned for 200,000 years ...
Every new toon starts the game in 2409 and technically it does not end until 2410 or at least until the player has played the "A New Accord" FE.
For my max level KDF toon who has only just completed the Wasteland story arc, the war is far from over. It would be rather awkward for me to see a Federation toon on Qo'Nos simply walking around.
While it is possible to create instances of Qo'Nos, ESD and other areas opened up for all players who have finished the main story line and the current FE, that would take additional resources and will likely splinter the player base between those who have completed "A New Accord" and those who have not.
I dont even have a hunch...another sub faction is possible but I dont like the premise of that to even take a shot in the dark

No, oh hell no, Just no.
1 ship- probe
1 class- drone
1 play style, 1hit killed every time you log in. (by a maco sniper rifle or a miranda fly by since everyone has access to those and transphasic torpedoes, depending on where you are at that moment)
Sums up the Borg experience - "does it make us money" answer would be NO so there you have it...
(excerpt from PWE board meeting: "Is it shiny? Is it scrumptious? Will it make us money?")
Don't count on it. They're too bust trying to please everyone. Making Cardassians playable would upset a lot of people regardless of how it's done. Generally it's either "don't make them part of the Dominion because Damar," or "make them Dominion because Weyoun." They can't do it both ways so they'll never do it.
Oh, I disagree.
It will be both fun and profitable.

They're probably a better shot at a playable faction than most, I guess. If you can get the actor who plays Garrick in to record lines, I'd be for it. If not, forget it, it'd just be ruined without Garrick.

Dan Stahl has mentioned that he would like to do a playable Borg faction, but only as a Liberated Borg faction. This faction could include the Borg Cooperative, Unimatrix Zero, Hugh's group, or some other Liberated Borg faction that we have not seen. Since they are not composed of Alpha Quadrant races, then they would have unique ships that look similar to the Borg ships not Borgified Alpha Quadrant ships. However since Dan is no longer EP, then we have to wait on the new EP's position as to whether a Liberated Borg faction might be added, but considering that STO is heading towards the Delta Quadrant, then there is a chance that it will exist in Expansion Pack 3.
I guess we'll see...
Possibly but consider that a delta quadrant expansion is a huge undertaking in itself. New aliens, new environments, new ships. There's more than enough there to keep cryptic busy without a new sub-faction (as the borg would likely be), especially if they want to keep the plot moving along with the main factions.
Of course speculating on this stuff now is pretty idle business, but none the less it may be a bit bold to expect to be Hughing it up when they finally let us fly through that hole in the Jeynolan dyson sphere. The next major update after the Delta Quadrant would seem a bit more opportune.

But we already had the "return of the dominion." See. Season 5. And we're not exactly wanting for Delta Quadrant bad guys to play territory control with. Voth, Undine, Hirogen, Malon, Kazon, and a couple dozen "aliens of the week" that you could probably flush out into compelling nemisis factions (as they did with the Elachi.). And let's not forget The Borg who you would expect to have more of an immediate interest in controlling the Delta quadrant (and could probably do with a revamp.)
It could be interesting (most of all because you wouldn't expect it) but with STO already running heavy with the Cardassian series its hard to see what more we can get out of the purple planet eaters besides perhaps the glorious return of Weyoun.

And besides, for the Romulan republic you have Romulan(Free) Alien(free), Reman $5.50.
and they are the skimpiest faction when it comes to characters.
Who would the Cardassians have? Juts Cardassian and Alien?
Not to mention the costumes TNG armor, DS9 armor?
In the Books the breen Confederacy is compose of 5(?) races. but that is under the book license. Playable Jem'hadar, The Jem'Hadar and the Cardies weren't best of friends. They Kind of bombarded Cardassia Prime. Vorta?
If you had a true way" sort of storyline you could still do an alliance of Jem Haddar, Breen and Cardassians - all as playable races.
KDF: 2 tacs, 2 engs, 3 scis
KDF Roms: 3 tacs, 1 eng, 1 scis
FED: 2 tacs, 1 eng, 2 scis
TOS: 1 tac
all on T5 rep (up to temporal)
all have mastered Intel tree (and some more specs Points)
highest DPS: 60.982
Reality check: If they weren't going to give us playable Tal'Shiar (not a fan of the idea, FYI), they most certainly aren't going to give us playable True Way.

Ok, this peaked my interest. Any idea on a time frame?
