1. Not gonna happen anytime in the near future.
2. Not gonna happen anytime in the near future. And it fits the current STO lore as the Republic as a slowly rising second-tier power.
3. The Romulan ship selection, while small, is first-rate IMO. The KDF needs a more rounded selection. And older Federation vessels in the game need to be bought up to speed. Then, the devs should focus on giving the Romulans more planet-boiling, winged engines of death.

Maybe if we shoot it in the brain with a silver bullet, then a stake through the heart, then set it on fire for good measure? Even if doesn't work, would still be fun.
I actually hope Cryptic carry on this idea with a few more additions, such a system would work great for more of the minor factions in Star Trek.
JJ and cryptic took that along time ago
system Lord Baal is dead
*whacks horse with stick*
It just will not die! HELP!
*backs off as horse gets closer*
OH GOD!!
*tries to whack horse with stick again*
This I support.
I have no interest in resetting every Romulan player to have to grind all those fleet holdings all over again, which is why I don't really rant about the alliance system as it is; it, like the use of plasma weapons, is ultimately a gameplay thing in motive rather than a lore one, and I can excuse it for that sake.
I mean, just ask all those KDF fleets that took so long to get a T5 starbase how they feel about it! I would love to have Romulan cosmetic options for fleet holdings, but that took long enough as it stands. :P
What about we just get a Romulan fleet holdin--oh wait, the Romulan Embassy...
The way I see it - JJ, or Kurtzman & Orci to be more precise, tried and failed - then Cryptic tried to retcon as much of that as possible and gave the Romulans a sort of "new beginning" that I had such high hopes for.
If anything, I'm pissed at Cryptic for putting the RR into a "KDF maintenence mode" (and I'm saying this because we KDF players know how that looks and feels like) immedialtely after LoR and trying to pull away the attention and buy the Romulan fanbase with OP toys and trinkets.
Well truth be told, there are many Romulan themed fleets - including the great one I'm a member of, that would be more than happy to build an actual Romulan starbase for their Romulan fleet even if it means starting from scratch. Some would jump on such opportunity in a heartbeat.
The main drive for my first KDF fleet to max out everything was the fact that we were buillding something new, unique and very true to the spirit of the faction we play. I remember back when we were still building the facilities through the tiers, it's was tough as hell to donate because everyone was so eager and motivated to contribute and get the next fleet starbase unlock.
But I digress, it is what it is now and knowing that I've always supported the idea you mentioned as well - give the fleets the optional cosmetic project that would enable to switch the visuals from a KDF or a Fed starbase to a Romulan one. I understand that it involves a good amount of dev work although many visuals are already in game on NPC Romulan starbases, but I think that the players of STO deserve it. I'm thinking a dilithium cosmetic project that would probably cost more than your average starbase cosmetic project (maybe even be the sum of all cosmetic projects) that would enable Romulan fleets have a proper Romulan home.
*waves stick frantically*
These would also be pretty nice.
I liked them more in the beginning... They were more like playing an instrument, now you're just banging rocks together to make a sound.

Out of sight, out of mind, eh?
Game over, man! GAME OVER!!!!!
I support the Star Trek Battles channel.
So instead of giving Romulans access to existing T5 starbases, you want them to start from scratch and work their way up from T1? Bad idea.
I'm very happy with the way the Romulan integration has been handled and don't understand all the complaints.
We've got plenty of all-Romulan fleets. I'm sure they'd be happy enough to have an option to just put Romulan visuals on the existing fleet holdings.

A Romulan starbase would be the first obvious choice. All NPCs/cosmetic additions are transformed into a Romulan theme.
A Reman starbase?
A partially-assimilated starbase a la Starbase 82.
Vulcan starbase.
Andorian starbase.
Just special projects that can be queued up and filled out with dilithium (or whatever) that can be transformed at the will of whoever has permissions over fleet holdings.
And can just as easily be reverted with the same project.
Like the basic Starfleet starbase.
Or the basic KDF starbase.
The cosmetic choices could be endless when it comes to 'themes' for the projects, and if the projects were expensive enough, would allow Cryptic to make the money back on the artists' time spent on creating new cosmetic themes for the fleet starbase.
If/when Cryptic creates additional playable factions (or minifactions), it would also give them incentive to include a cosmetic theme option for that as well.
To start a whole new starbase from scratch is expensive, very true ... But there are many Fleets out there, that are essentially Romulan. Whether they are UFP or KDF aligned is irrelevant, or would be irrelevant, if they had the option of a "Starbase Upgrade Project" that could "convert" the assets to "Romulan".
We all know that there are more than enough graphicical assets in game, both interior and exterior, to create a 'Romulan" Starbase, so it's just a matter of convincing Cryptic that it's worth implementing ...
And these 'Dead Horses" are about the only way we might get any of these things (or any of the other "Dead Horses" that are on the forums) like:
Tal-Shiar Uniforms
Playable Tal-Shiar/RSE
Romulan Omega Rep gear
Romulan/Reman Ground Set
Romulan Flight Deck Carrier
Romulan Science Vessel
Romulan Security Officer
Romulan Melee Weapon
Romulan Colouir Schemes on outfits
Romulan Off-Duty outfits
Romulan Formal Outfits
Reman BoFF Vendor ...
KILL TOVAN!!! ...
I think that's almost the entire herd of Zombie Horses ...
Captain Hypocrisy here, "My full fledged faction needs more stuff! And Why would you want your own stuff like a full fledged Faction?"
Tell you what, lets convert all of the KDF fleets to Fed fleets, with only the Fed art available, and the KDF can have the Fed computer voice, and at the holiday event you can be stuck with Fed Logo'd gear to grind for.
The OP wanted Romulan independence and separation...so the thread got moved to the independent/separate Romulan Gameplay forum. Probably the closest the OP will get to what they want.
