That would be a great idea - could do something similar for the Terran Empire... Start out doing a few battles with Starfleet (or the Alliance if I remember DS9 right) and something happens and your stuck in the normal game universe, as a subset of the Feddies - like TRIBBLE and TOS.

Thanks for telling me - They show for me :o I purchased them on the day they started. I dont even follow ARC on Facebook - I use the news in the launcher or in game as a judge on events. Usually much more accurate that way.

This... Traits are unique to the faction many times, (there are some cross faction ones, but those have a place in lore or simply cause Cryptic wanted to sell a ship years later that ended up having the same trait.) and are unique to the character. I would think having the ability to use traits from my Fed, on my Rom, or…

I misunderstood your points on PVP - my mistake. I guess you might be right about the cost of dev'ing a RSE faction, and it is a shame. To your point of post-Iconian war Romulans - I think the entire way the Romulans were essentially written out of Star Trek was terrible... They were relegated to a plot device in 2009 -…
-
Even if the aspect of everyone in STO abhorring PVP - (I have ran across several who play both, one for the nostalgia and the other for the ability to blow stuff up and just do whatever) the ideas behind having the option to be a Terran, or Imperial Romulan is sound - and even if 300 people were willing to pay to play as…

If PVP had lasting meaning, ergo, factions could literally fight each other and the map change, with worlds changing based on who controls it? PVP would be much more than DPS testing and Tank laughing. The materials are there for this to be a really fun situation.. Each faction at war (literally) with each other, fighting…

They will not listen - it involves us Romulans - we are 3rd class entities to them - and even worse to the Starfleet idiots that abound.. Oh wait - did I say that out loud?
-
And we all know that as long as they keep the Feddies and Klinks happy they will never HAVE to worry about expanding the Romulan side of this... Sad, but I do not see it happening any time in the near future... Could it happen? Sure - anything is possible... But I think that this happening is about as likely as the RSE…
-
I would imagine that there will be some twist introduced by STO writers that will put some connection between the Iconians and either the Tal'Shiar or RSE... Either way, they will undoubtedly do something once again that makes the Romulans seem to be 'part of the problem' rather than part of the solution... Which in all…
-
Perhaps in this case it is because the Romulans are currently the 'weakest link' in the allied chain... Currently Romulans are a badly divided and split up faction - as the remnants of the RSE cling to their ideals, the Tal'Shiar does whatever it is the Tal'Shiar wishes to to do, and everyone else is somewhere in the…
-
Well now - for whatever reason they are in my brig - (I would like to think they offended one of my crew by acting snooty as Starfleet always does but I digress) maybe a glitch?
-
The most strange thing happened to me as well on this subject - I received a batch of new DOFF's - and much to my surprise I have at least 2 Federation DOFF's - and I am KDF aligned... One is an Andorian (Founder of the Federation - blah blah blah) but at least the other is a Vulcan... (This I am more willing to accept as…
-
Indeed - Sela is incompetent -- still amazed she hasn't went missing indefinitely.. The Romulan Republic is the way of the future for the Romulan people indeed - and technically they are not beholden to the foreign powers for survival... However, they had to ask permission to settle a planet in Romulan space - from the…
-
Diplomatic relations are one thing - but right now both the KDF and UFP are essentially controlling what happens as per Romulan affairs.. I would not wish to see the game FORCE Romulans out of all KDF or UFP fleets - there should be a choice... Full Romulan, or Romulan Allied... as is the quasi-reality within Trek, neither…
-
Forgive me if I do not share your ideal that The Republic needs to be beholden to any outside power... They do not need to be in league with the KDF or the UFP - the Romulan people can accomplish massive things on their own.
-
How about expanding the building of the Republic, bringing more of the old Empire folding into the Republic, and the Romulan people reuniting... And just for good measure, either the KDF or UFP are exposed as having a hidden agenda to control or benefit from the Romulans... Make them their own Faction - for real... As they…
-
Very True - even though there is a group of people within the Republic who do believe that the VSA did not do all that it could - they would be a fringe... Merely pointing out however that there is still that sentiment... even if it is 'conspiracy theorist' in nature.
-
That is true - much like when he went to see Senator Pardek in 2368... Spock had much more positive ideals with regards to Romulans than did the Vulcan people at large... Perhaps there are those within the Republic who did not like Spock however... Nero could not have been the sole Romulan who blamed Spock - and the…
-
It really irked me when my Romulan science officer exclaimed "By the name of Kahless" when examining a Cardassian body - I thought... Really? Last I checked you were Romulan - not Klingon... So I tend to agree that unless your sitting on your own ship, you are surrounded by Starfleet or Klingons - and the Romulans just are…
-
I cannot speak for other RPG... As this is the only one I have actually played.. However the main issue is not necessarily character customization - but rather the characterization of an entire group of people within the game - one of the 3 major powers in the quadrant is treated instead as a minor entity... Everything is…
-
Agreed - They make a RPG but expect people to choose the path that they prefer, not the path that the player wishes to follow.
-
The problem is that the Lloann'mhrahel loyalists are the ones who pay Cryptic's bills - we are relegated to place holders. They give us our ships but that is about it - we get no Starbases - our home world is simple - and our allegiance forced... WE know what we could accomplish but we are not allowed this ability.. The…
-
Indeed - we cannot lie to ourselves and pretend that Star Trek has not always centered around the Federation - however the rich culture and persona of the Romulans is being ignored almost completely - save for a few mentions during the Survey of New Romulus before it was colonized - Even the opening of the Iconian gate on…
-
But the point of this hair pulling thread it seems has been lost - the Romulans are not truly treated as an independent faction within STO - even if the Death of the Empire is set in stone - they are merely added to either Starfleet or the KDF as back up - when they have so much more potential -
-
If you look here - you can see a completely astounding read out of the events leading up to the Hobus incident - and it is inclusive of much more than what is placed within STO - which leaves more to the imagination. The three posts I wish to point out are about half way down the page, written by @protogoth - It was a long…
-
Sounds perfect - ;)
-
Klingons causing trouble? Why doesn't that surprise me, as it is their nature is it not? - as far as Federation loyalists doing the same, it is not a surprise either... They gain power through the 'peaceful' subversion of those they have as rivals... In all the dealings that the Federation orchestrates - the biggest…
-
In a way I do see the idea that the highest echelon of Romulan government would have been caught on the late end of a Homeworld evacuation... Perhaps a few would have stayed behind to help the people remain calm in the face of certain death - however the continuance of the Empire would have had to have been put forth in a…
-
It appears that indeed the RSE was tearing itself up long before the Hobus Event - however it was returning to a more normal (and apparently even better than it had been...) before Hobus - however if all of these quotes are descriptive of what 'happened' as per canon - then the event of the RSE's death was a fact... This…
-
Very well said - and the idea that the ISN would only have a small array of ships is indeed short sighted - the idea that the amount of ships seen in on-screen representations is small due to finite budget... Much like most Klingons depicted on television seemed to have only Bird-of-prey style ships - every time... so the…
