That would be a shame

Can't wait I hope that with a third faction pvp will become more interesting !

In STO the Galaxy is a T4 Captain rank cruiser.

It should be about as tanky as a cruiser with a little less engineering since its not a team healer but a warship. I would like a boff layout like this for it.
Its hull, shield , and manuverablilty stats should be similar to the Fleet Vorcha, maybe slightly lower if they give it a battlecloak.

In TNG the galaxy was the only Federation ship that was a straight up match to the romulan warbird. Now in combat the warbird would hold the advantage of surprise with their cloak but in the end it would come down to captains and crew that would determine the victor.

Actually, in the end it came down to the writers and where the story needed to go. Folks often forget that in discussing things from Star Trek as if they were discussing Ford vs. Chevy, nVidia vs. AMD/ATI, McDonald's vs. Burger King, etc, etc, etc. It's not real - the writers did what they wanted...and there are many cases where they'd throw X, Y, or Z (plot armor, plot weapon, plot device) into the mix to change what they might have had happen a previous time.
Is the Elachi S'golth Escort going to make an appearance in a Lockbox near you?

Is there still going to be a Summer Event as mentioned during the Winter Event?

I agree. But then on the other side, making a romulan faction there is more to profit from. It may not be exactly as Husanak said but close, I'm sure. Lots of "open your wallets" items. Which, as long as its not something dumb and useless, I would agree to pay for.

After they start romulans, they will gradually add more kling pve and maybe few more other cstore items. Same with romulans. It's pretty much the standard software release type, get a decent version out (hopefully cryptic will do its best with this, lol), then release patch after patch to fix stuff and add some features.

We all know the Romulan faction, if ever, is not comming soon. Can we just let this thread die and get onto more important topics? In fact, this is not even a PVP topic.
