Star Trek Online has been threatening to receive an update for weeks. A countdown indicated some kind of announcement for 1pm GMT today, but it appears the German and French websites have released news of the reveal slightly early.
A NeoGaf user has uncovered a description that suggests players will take on the role of Romulus’ heritage after the planet has been destroyed alongside Remus. This will bring about a number of gameplay tweaks, as detailed below:
"Romulan Republic" playable faction
KDF and Romulans will be playable from level 1 to 50 - currently KDF starts at 20 (I think)
New Reputation System for an anti-Tholian task force
Complete UI revamp - improved look and feel, option to customise colour scheme
Denise Crosby returns to provide voice for Empress Sela
Although the official announcement is yet to go live, we’d be surprised if these details are wide of the mark.
