I started playing this a few weeks back, a week or two before Legacy of Romulus dropped, and I've been having a blast.

I think one of my favorite bits so far is how, for the Romulan starting characters, instead of trying to justify flying around a thoroughly antiquated design by saying that inside it's perfectly modern (see, for example, the NX-class, or the TOS Constitution-class), the old T'liss-class, TOS-era Warbird you get for your starter ship is, in fact, old enough to have been the primary Romulan warship when it was made. It's essentially a miraculously still-functional old beater of a ship that Satra (the second boff you're given, for doing the first quest after the tutorial) says something about how it probably should've fallen apart around you long before she came on board.

Mine even has the big bird painted on the underside. (My Rommie is still level 6, though, and I'll probably cap out my KDF alt before I think about putting time into the Rommie.)
