I often have the same problem, which is why I almost never played redside back in City of Heroes. Luckily for me, the devs decided to not make the Romulans the bad guys, instead having them be a splinter group that went 'you know what? This whole Imperial asshole stuff just isn't working for anyone except the Tal Shiar. Let's try something different.'
