    I always wondered how Imperial bait would taste. The answer is awful.

    *pours a glass of Kassus brand Romulan Ale*

    When you need to get the taste of Imperial insane ranting out of your mouth or mind remember, Kassus brand Romulan Ale. Brewed on New Romulus Kassus brand Romulan Ale is "A taste of freedom in every bottle."

    (OP has a point, kind of...barely but he went about it with the heavy handed actions of the Romulan Star Empire.)

    The memorial to Spock was created for New Romulus primarily because the Romulan Republic is made up of people who believed in the Reunification movement. D'Tan is Praetor to this new Romulan power and who do you think D'Tan respected? Who was D'Tan's mentor in the reunification movement?
    Minor correction: D'Tan is Proconsul, not Praetor. Praetor is the military leader, and while he's never been referred to with the position. It would seem that it'd be either Obisek or Kererek who holds the position of Praetor.

    ummm... no... hon. praetor is an IMPERIAL title. Elected by the Senate on RATOR the Romulan home world now. But we have that 1/2 breed Empress to deal with before we can elect a new one

    They found time to install a useless memorial on Faux Romulas but after a year still cant find the time to add a Security Officer to the Planet or Command Center. We can pay our respects but cant covert contraband unless we go to alien bases in distant star systems.

    Maybe one of the people in the memorial team can 5 minutes out of the hectic memorial development and plop a freaking sec officer down


    Way to go, man! You just found the sweet spot to advertise your in-game cravings. Well done! Comparing the creation of a memorial of one of the corner stones of Star Trek history to your petty needs for contraband conversion is plain...awesome!!! Please add me to you friend list!!!

    Whoa whoa whoa we got a badass over here...

    Yea i dont care if i meme'd wrong...yr the one getting yr panties in a twist over some fiction.

    Just ignore it in yr headcanon, guy.

    I really doubt any Star Trek tv show or movie would depict 5 starships defeating 60m hp worth of Borg coming through a gigantic gateway every hour.

    Its not a perfect ST game, we all know this.

    Just enjoy the themepark for what it is...or yknow learn to tabletop rp.

    its not just "my" whim.... people have been complaining since Beta.


    How could people have been "complaining since Beta" about a lack of a Security Officer on New Romulus Command or the Flotilla? Neither existed before Romulans became a playable faction.

    Oh, and pay attention to my avatar image and forum title. :p

    You obviously dislike what they've done with the STO Romulan faction. Given that, I don't understand why you play a Romulan character. As for the memorial being 'useless' - honestly, you could say that about STO itself (or ANY game); as games aren't necessary for living.

    Personally, I find your OP in general somewhat useless.

    I can help you.

    Turn your contraband over to me and I will make sure it gets to Qo'nos. :D

    You won't have to worry about having to travel there yourself.

    1) F Leornard Nimoy and the epohh he rode in on.

    I can't even continue to read this thread beyond this comment. Any respect I had for you has now dropped to Zero.


    If there is something in the game that YOU do not like, Good. I hope they never change it.:mad:

    It's such a blurry line. Where does the shoddy role-play end and the insignificant, self absorbed mutt begin? No worry. When the time comes no one will make monuments to remember you.

    other than insulting me, do you have any comment about the lack of a Security Officer at the Command Center, because that's the topic not your opinion of me.

    I agree that New Romulus Command needs a place to turn in contraband.


    However, I don't consider the monuments to be a waste. They are nice gestures on Cryptic's part, and I give them massive kudos for doing it.

    I cant say my romulan has ever been bothered by the lack of a security officer on new rom, he goes to Starfleet academy every day to do the academy missions anyway so its no hardship nipping up to ESD if he has some contraband to get shot of.

    there are a lot of things more frustrating anyway like how you cant get to the staging area if you transport to rom command without beaming back to your ship.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    There's a door just right of the transporter room that takes you outside.

    yes well, some of us are KDF aligned and do marauding so there is never a question of just happening to have some on occasion. I have 100 on hand on a bad day... I need the officer every 4 hours.

    I am contributing to the discussion not simply insulting you. I have provided you with a valid example of a memorial that would demonstrate the attributes you had ascribed to the one honouring Mr. Nimoy.

    Were a monument to yourself placed in the same location I would agree that it is a waste of effort, unwanted, and less desirable than travelling to the Klingon home world.

    The existing monument on New Romulus depicting Mr. Nimoy in his role as Spock is fitting within the STO canon while simultaneously paying homage to a beloved and respected actor.

    There was never a, "security guard or monument" discussion. I think the majority of people were touched that Cryptic would acknowledge his contributions and legacy at the time of his death and weren't thinking such self-serving thoughts.

    I don't need to say anything more about the security guard because I can't say it better than peetapipmac;

    One thing I gotta wonder is if the ball with the flame coming out of it on the new Romulus memorial has some anti-gravity device on it cause its just hovering.

    Ok, reality check, going back to the first argument that started this all off. I am not quoting cause quoting is for people who want to +1, so go ahead and +1 people I am going to ±0 on this one.

    Ok, first off, you lost all respect when you bash Spock, never bash Spock. The TOS is the whole reason ALL OF GLORIOUS STAR TREK EXISTS because it STARTED THE WHOLE SHABANG!!! So never bash it and just respect it, don't have to even like that part, but respect it, cause your little DS9 and TRIBBLE would not exist with out the TOS, just remember that people, remember that. So take back the Spock complaints because with out Vulcans we would have a pretty crappie Star Trek universe because we all need someone logical to tell us to shut up and think rationally, which is to say why Star Trek has that charm, because that logical element just seems to govern a lot of the fantasy that keeps this real. So please don't bash the guy who helped make this great. (Sorry for the tangent.)

    Now, while I bring up fantasy, let's remind ourselves that this game is ALL FANTASY. So the people who make it aren't going to include everything because if you had EVERY FAN have there way, then Star Trek would die quicker someone who just got hit by lightening (best analogy I got people). So don't get all butt hurt because there are more important things than your Sec Off, like maybe allowing us to by Zen with EC because that would be far better than putting some stupid sec officer in.

    Also, New Romulus is awakard because its the only factions home planet that is over run by pretty much everyone but Romulans and Remans. It might as well be called New Rompulus cause its just a lot of KDF and FED people romping around.

    Now, I do play 3 characters, a Human, Romulan, and Klingon, so I pretty much can go anywhere I want, and I have traveled everywhere. I do agree it makes me mad when places like New Romulus have all the venders scattered around the map, which does too tick me off. I am a fan of convience, heck, I got more word docs on my desktop than you can dream of. Having every vender in a central location is good. But New Romulus is so scattered about that it makes me sick thinking that isolating FED and KFD on there bases is cool but Romulans get to be run over like trash. I agree, adding a SEC OFF is a good idea, but gosh man calm yourself. It is only contraband. There are Borg, Terrans, Voth, weapons, xp,ships and mellons and joy and out of all of that your worried about a SEC OFF? Dude, that is like complaining about an ant hill in the middle of the forest. It is a good idea, but don't get butthurt like your a victim when you just took a swing at Spock.

    #300th rule of acquisition: Never insult a Vulcan, especially Spock, because there logic will make you look like an idiot and you lose all profits.

    Reality check. Quoting is for people who are sensible enough to provide a context for readers (and themselves if they are really thick) to approach their comments from. It also suggests the writer took the time to read other people's comments and attempted to engage in the dialogue. Reread that part you wrote about "logical". Does that seem logical to you? If you are ever in doubt about your ability to articulate yourself don't blame a mobile device or fatigue. Don't hit send.

    No monuments for the colonel and no +1 for you.

    fine, ill quote, but if I was looking for a +1 for me, I would have gotten you a real bottle of romulan ale. but none exist, thus, I am not looking for any +1's. and I do understand your point about care to read it, but the person who started this thread was talking a lot and said nothing.
