i have a good compromised idea on how to bring them into the game, this is it:
there will be maps with one or more ds9-like stations (which is cardassian in origin) spread in the maps. these station will be belong to no player.
on every station there will be few cardassions ships protecting them.. once you destroy them you can tranport people to the station.
once the station is yours, you can build some known cardassians ships, the stations will give you more resources because many ferengi (and maybe other) ships will dock with her and it can do other things also..
so what are we getting here? 1. a very strategic point in which the players will fight about 2. cardassians gameplay which line up with the offical fleetops story 3. everybody happy.

if i remember right the devs already said that the cardassians and other races will make it in the game as npcs, like you described.

in other words:your dream could come true faster than you think

I agree that the Cardassians should be in the game in some aspect. This implementation is a possibility, but I'd much rather see a Cardassian avatar for the Dominion complete with an Obsidian Order special building to replace the the Hyperspace Artillery

It is well known that those wouldn't happen, with the war and all things related. The Order was wiped out completely (then replaced by an even more dangerous group) and the Cardassians despise the Dominion for massacring their homeworld (and I wouldn't be surprised if the founder's order was sent to other Cardassians worlds, too).

Yep and possibly as mercenairries (I really dont know the spelling )

So I think they will surely make an appearance, but not as a full race

mercenaries.. what a great idea! it can be a combination of those two things:
from the ds9-like station the "cardassian mercenaries" will dock from and do the job (for the correct price:).. its like a warp-in ability but for the other races..

It was on todo for quite some time now, though I just told you what the team have been thinking Im pretty sure we'll see the most favorite ST races join in on the fun one way or another hehe

Yes, patience is the name of the ame Kfir
I believe we are supposed to see the first of the NPC's within version 3, so I'm sure they'll be an update after a few more patches

If the Federation is helping the Cardassians after the war, wouldn't there likely be a few Cardassian ships willing to help them in return?
