Request for a Romulan D7.

So... In ToS the Romulans were gifted/traded some Klingon D7 battle-cruisers. So was thinking, why dont you make a variant of your Temporal D7 for the Klingos, switch it to something like Intel D7, or just a fleet ship, and release it to the Romulan faction? Throw it in a lockbox or the Lobi store even. I would shell out a lot of money for one. 
More ships is better ships in my opinion and this is 100% canon in Trek.

They also said no T6 Connie, yet here we are. :P
If you want to use KDF ships as a Romulan, join the KDF as a Romulan.....there you go....simples.
CBS said no T6 Connie, CBS said no to a Cstore T6 Connie. CBS said no D7 for Romulans, CBS said they had to drop everything for Discovery, CBS told Cryptic they can no longer do what they please with Romulans or Jem'hadar
Me thinks you all blame this CBS boogeyman for way to much.
the standard d7 fleet t5 style starship will work on the romulans providing you have a klingon alligned officer. I know i did this already.

With all due respect.. can you please share your source on this?
Every time someone asks for a ship of some sort, someone says that 'CBS this..' and 'CBS that..'
Never has anyone ever been able to show anything showing that CBS has any interest at controlling ship distribution in STO.
There is no reason to believe that Cryptic couldn't release this ship if they wanted to. Maybe CBS initially said no to the 'end game constitution' in the earliest days of the game.. maybe.. but otherwise, there is NOTHING to show that CBS has now or ever has had anything to do with ship releases in STO.
Or wouldn't that work because opening the box always gets you the faction-appropriate one?
What about a potential Age of Discover style D7? Since there most likely won't be a Romulan counter-part, it might be Klingon aligned Romulans will be able to get at least that D7.
While I don't know about the Romulan D-7, its well established that CBS has restricted the classic Connie, originally starting with no endgame Connie to eventually allowing it as a Promotional ship via R&D box. In fact it was listed in the old FCT section under Endgame Connie back when we didn't even have the Kelvin Connie.
I'm sure baddmoon or any other mod could provide more details regarding that particular thing than any player can.

no, romulans get the t6 t'liss from that pack.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Yes, we know that CBS originally put a restriction on the appearance of the Constitution Class back in 2010. We also know that at some point they relaxed that stance leading to the current availability of the Temporal Light Cruiser.
There is however, no proof now.. or ever that they have at any time put any other restrictions on any ship other then the Constitution class. All we have is unfounded word of mouth from people on forums.
No one debated that CBS owns Star Trek. No one debates that story lines are cleared with the writers over at CBS to make sure they align with works currently in development. That's all common sense.
There is however, nothing that implies in any way that CBS is micromanaging to the point where they control distribution of ship classes deciding what is in lock boxes, c-store or otherwise. If you have some actual proof, feel free to send it to me, otherwise I will follow the 'rules' and not derail this thread any further.
The Romulan D7 would be a great addition to the game. Ultimately, I don't believe that at this time Cryptic has any focus at all on the Romulan faction.. but it's a great idea down the road when/if they decide to continue to support the Romulan Faction.
It's definitely a ship that would interest me.
Except you can't use the T6 D7 as a Romulan....so no it's not simple, if it were then there would be no need for this thread.
First it was stated: Then it was asked:
No one is saying "CBS can't do that" or whatever you are implying. The question is "Who said no D7 for Romulans? Link or stop spreading rumors". Seems pretty straightforward. https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/1020330-ask-cryptic_-november-2012
I cannot find another instance of a developer saying, in writing, that there is a CBS mandate on a specific ship. If there is one, it is probably mentioned in a podcast. Which is why "link or stop spreading rumors" applies.
Nice try, but doesn't work that way. I am not the one blaming CBS for not getting what they want, those making the accusations.. the burden of proof is with them. No one has argued that CBS owns the IP and has final veto on anything brought to them.
My stance is that a few people are passing off opinions as facts and have been for quite a while. Every time someone blames CBS for not getting something, they prove it for me.
For what it's worth, I hope you get the ship you want.
No one can, it's just something that 3 or 4 people readily say on the forum and there is absolutely nothing to back it up.
It should be noted that in those same streams Cryptic devs have said that CBS is quite hands off, forbidding only few things and not really telling Cryptic what to do.
Fair enough, thank you very much for the information.
I have always found the idea funny that CBS would Veto something like a Romulan D7, but they're totally cool with Federation Captains flying around in an Iconian Dreadnought.
That aside, if you say he said it.. I believe it. Not saying I believe it's true, just saying I believe it was said. For whatever reason, it seems sadly apparent that this request will likely never be granted.
Too bad, because it's a good idea.

Well I don't work at CBS licensing so I can't say what their train of thought was about it, in fact I don't even really agree with their justification but it is what it is and CBS in the IP rights holder so they got the final word on licensed properties no matter how stupid that word might be.
Speaking of, do jem'hadar get the allied ships from those packs? I would assume so, since they have no native version and would otherwise not be able to get them at all. Anyone know for sure?
