3.04 tavaras nurfed

So I was playing a game a frw minutes ago and i learnd something about the tavara. I wa being sieged by some borg when i realised i needed to build tavaras, to my dismay i soon realized that i could only have two tavaras. that is two tavaras as the avatar with more tavaras. way back in beta two you could have 4 ( if you had to) in alter versions 5, which is redicilus, 5 is alot, however i feel 3-4 is more reasonable. although my tavaras performed valiently they the 2 norexans and my small Group of generix was no match for a few spheres with assim backup. I thought well im fine with two, they must have been upgreade to make them more powerful individualy, sadly i was wrong and soo was destroyed subsaquently.

I am not up set just because i like romulans, (i actualy play as random most of the time) but because the tavara needs to be as numerous and strong as they are, romulans who have almost exculisavely mid range need that fire power.

I agree: 3-4 would be nice, as they aren't really game enders

2 tavaras is very low i agree ... specally since i noted how easy u can destroy 2 with a mixed battlegroup (8 excelsiorII, 2 remores, 2 defiants ripped 2 tavaras in less than 10 secs)

I disagree. 2 tavaras are enough. The tavaras are intended to be the flagships of the romulans, not their backbone. Norexan is strong (and fast) enough to be the backbone of the fleet.

you can now build a cloaking generator and an intelligence center along with the Tavaras get used to it. we plan some more changes (and a new Romulan baseline ship) for the next larger content patch

Backbone no, flag ship yes, but when there are a fleet of ships the tavara is the first thing youshoot at.

Another problem with Tavaras is the length of time it takes to repair any of their systems... I went around 35 minutes without seeing my sitting duck Tavara repair it's engines or weapons (when they were down to 30ish % fixed).

cant the levahl repair ships? you could have done that

the roms have a repair ship but its a fed mixed tech ship so you can only use it if there are fed players on the map

Yes, the leahval can only repair itself

and guys about complaining about only 2 tavars, i havent played alot of games with 3.4 yet, or as roms yet, but from what ive seen in the post as the team said, you can also  have the inteligence center, and cloaking generator, with the star system it was sacrificing those, for more tavaras, ii like the system better, and for all races, not just roms, it alows you to build certain things without sacrificing others, for instance with feds before, it was kinda a build phalanxs or use warpin, now you can do both, not as many pahalanxs or warp in as before, but you can do both, and for romulans i think it will be very nice, you can have the cloaking and inteligence, wioth tavars, i think its a good combo

I'd have to play more, but you are probably correct Ray
