Romulan Fleet Name?

Stonewall Karansu!

Jolan Tru, friends!

Quote by ksb2385

There are plenty of cases in the world today of large corporations keeping the same name no matter what country they have offices, or stores in. I can't recall the exact reasons but summarized I think it comes down to Brand Recognition. I must admit the novelty of having a completly Romulan fleet name would be cool but I do feel it would be better for the future to at least keep the word Stonewall as is in the fleet name. So at why not just go half and half. Something romulan before or after the name Stonewall

Exactly Right. I work for a Japanese Company, in the US. Granted we are a child company to the main corporate company but we have the same brand in our names:
Sony
Sony Pictures Entertainment. (this is who I work for)

Aye to that! B)

I think it should have "Stonewall" In English, and then "Empire" in Romulan. That way other players who don't speak Romulan, like me, will know the guild!

:)

We don't have the Klingon name right anyway. The "N" should be lowercase, and I don't think we have the terms properly declined or agglutinated, though I'm not sure.

Aaaaand... discussion over. There will be no Romulan Starbase. Instead Romulan characters will at one point either join forces with Starfleet or the KDF and thus gain access to the fleets of the respective faction. Interesting choice and probably really great for most of the smaller fleets out there (who don't need to concentrate on yet another Starbase).

Not quite as cool for us who are almost finished. At least there will be another Fleet Holding sometime after the May update.

I'm so fucking incensed about this I'm considering dropping the game altogether. I don't want to play "native auxiliaries" to the British.

Dissappointing.

Still reading the article, but I hope they increase the amount of members permitted in a fleet, otherwise I foresee huge headaches in shifting characters around.

EDIT
"So when a Romulan creates a Fleet, they are creating a Fleet that is open to Romulans of a chosen allegiance as well as members of that allegiance. Vice-a-versa, they’re also free to join existing fleets of their chosen ally."

So you can create a Romulan fleet, but its really just either FED or KDF?
:blink:
Confused.

Pretty much and the reason I'm so pissed, we're not a faction we're just auxiliaries.

This may not necessarily change our plans. If there's an option to have a Romulan fleet that is open to Romulans of both loyalties, we'll probably still make one, just so that we don't bump up against our membership limits.

I can understand why they did this. It would decimated small or medium sized fleets out there right now as everyone jumped on the Romulan bandwagon. Instead, this could be a really good thing for our Klingon Fleet, House of Nagh reD and even our alt fleet, Deep Space Stonewall who's progress has been relatively slow. While Stonewall Fleet's starbase is already Tier 4, we do have quite some time left before getting to Tier 5. We have to earn about 100,000 XP in each category left. There's still plenty of achievements left to earn together. :)

We should still have plenty of room in our Fleets. We'll stick to the same one-chracter-per-member rule in Stonewall Fleet so people will still be able to put their main character, even if its a Romulan, in that fleet.

Romulans can only create or join Federation or Klingon fleets.

This whole thing might be a bit of a vicious cycle. Starbases probably take a lot of time and ressources to develop. The devs, however, don't really know yet how many people will actually fully play the Romulan faction. I guess them not devoting much time to create a Romulan Fleet system is mostly being cautious.

Romulan Starbases are not even entirely off the table (as stated by Stahl), they are not just implemented from the get go. Which in all likelihood makes it harder to include them later... argh.

That's my fear, as well. Not to mention that the majority of Romulan players are going to ally with the Federation because that's the faction they're most familiar with and probably already in a fleet in that faction. This will just perpetuate the imbalance of players in-game.

Oh, I can understand it too, and definitely agree it'll help out DSS and Nagh reD. Just sad my expectations were too high. Though to be fair I never told Cryptic what those expectations were. I'm sure if I did they would design the faction to cater to my individual wants :P

Hopefully, it'll push the numbers up on the KDF side of things.

No self respecting Romulan would ever ally with the KDF. I can't speak for Remans.

On the other hand the Vulcans/Feds had a chance to help us and they refused Spock.At least with the kdf we would know how far we can trust them, and betray them accordingly.

Remans would go blind on a bright Federation starbase and probably fall down an impossibly long turboshaft. Be right at home in the slums of Qo'noS though. I hear their purple spectres put on quite a show.
