Which side will you go for Romulans and has our decision made any difference?

Hello all,

Recently the Dahar Masters and Commodores of the MSFC fleets have been in discussion about a few things, things that relate to the fleet and our journey in STO. We have decided to create this thread to ask for our members opinions about certain aspects of the fleet and use the information we gain from our members input here to determinate our next course of action.

First up, a few weeks ago we made a decision regarding the Romulans in our fleets. We made this decision to help our KDF fleet which is by all rights failed due to the lack of members contributing to her. In fact apart from Kat, SFF and myself really only Terradhyne has contributed anything substantial to the fleet. This isn't meant as a poke at our other members who haven't contributed but to emphasis how little has been done to the fleet.

We would like to know if restricting Romulans to only the KDF will sway our choice at all about making them go KDF to help out our KDF fleet?
Which faction would you prefer to have your Romulan character(s) on?

I created a poll for this as well but would also like responses to the thread as to your reason why you choose the option you did and why you decided not to go the other option.

Okay, so out of everyone who replied in the other thread, only one gave us constructive criticism rather than plain out criticism. So I ask all of you who just gave criticism, give us some constructive criticism, offer up alternatives to how we can improve the KDF fleet, what would make you actually be bothered to invest in helping out our fleet and your friends.

Please don't say just recruit, this isn't the Federation with players galore, I have been recruiting on and off for quite sometime and only managed to gain one new member. Plus isn't it the entire fleet's responsibility to help out and recruit rather than just one or two members?

Our decision to restrict Romulans to the KDF only, was our only viable way to try and encourage members to help the KDF fleet out. We aren't forcing anyone to do anything and it rather ****es me off when someone says we are forcing them. We are not, we aren't forcing you to do anything and when someone accuses me of that it makes me ropable. All I can say to anything thinking that is actually read what I post.

Now please instead of just placing blame and outright saying we are wrong, actually offer up alternative that you believe will work. Read my posts before just posting, and even try and help the KDF fleet out.

From now on I would like friendly discussion and help not just harsh criticism and blame pointing at the few people who are actually trying to find a solution that will work.

Thank you.

The fact that the KDF fleet is in the shape it is is nobody's fault but Cryptic's. They don't allow you to choose KDF from start and they give very little reason to choose them half way through the game. For me, it is personal preference in that I dislike the KDF, but it would definitely help if they had unique content. At this point there is no contest for me, but I can only speak for myself.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Why is it so important that we have our own KDF fleet and that it does as well as the FED's? Couldn't we choose to support another larger fleet instead? At this point, a KDF fleet has no chance of doing as well as a FED one because we have less KDF players and there is less to do on the KDF side. Neither of these issues are ones we can fix. It certainly won't happen by alienating our own players. It is just a game, and whether or not one of our fleets is successful is not important in the long run.

Well the big deal is there ARE those of us who like the KDF and want our fleet to succeed, just because one doesn't like the KDF does not mean others don't and that we should give up just because they tell us to, personally I don't like the Federation and have stopped all my contributions to the FED fleet, am looking forward to the new KDF content and changes that are about to come, I'd rather close the FED fleet and not worry about it, in fact I've already started deleting and removing my feds from the FED fleet... Those who I have left are not bothering with fleets since I barely even touch them anymore since I find the FED side completely boring and repetitive, I'm quite looking forward to the part of the new content of starting KDF side at level 1.

I have one question on this, does someone know if a free to play player like me is getting free character slots for the Legacy of Romulus addon?
If not than i won't even play the romulans until some months have passed after the release, so the romulans don't really matter for me. :)

Dan Stahl (Executive Producer of STO) has said F2P players (and paying members) will get a free slot restricted to Romulan play like how they got a FED and KDF slot. Nothing has been said how it will be given out, could be a reward or just automatically given.
