Hi!
I was just wondering if there's anything getting better for the Rommies since 3.0. My experience and everything I read tell about the Rommies loosing power, except of some reduced costs (especially turrets). In contrast I'm not aware of any losses at the borg (the strongest fraction IMO). Did I miss something?

The Romulans should be fair at the moment. We are pleased with them and their overall performance.

We are taking a deeper look on all class mechanics at the moment. the next larger patch (3.4 most probably) will change a few gameplay aspects for all races, unlike the older patches, which only changes balancing. We have some sneaky stuff in mind for the Romulans. Sharpen your daggers!

I love sneaky stuff

Sneaky, like a sabotage ship along with the station?

Perhaps different kind of talshiar-agents. One that kills engines of a target vessel, so you can capture it. Or someone that disables the life support systems *gg*. A special energy refiller, that operates cloaced an cloaked vessels would be very mischievous too.

Or maybe a Scimitar Class, capable of firing under cloak

That would be nice ,but for balance needs to have a double/ triple reload time  while cloaked for the next salvo or  Kills the engines  so no movement is capable.

I think the tavara is the closest thing you'll be seeing to the scimitar in Fleet Ops.

Scimitar would just be unfun.

That, and I still think it's the most gimmicky ship ever created for Star Trek.

The scimitar is probably the best design for it's purpose ever. They aimed for a 'predator ship' , but i think the result was better than they expected. The scimitar would be an awsome addition to the romulans, even if limited to one ship only at a time. The romulans are known for their interest for all advanced technologies, so my bet is after they defeted the remans and destroyed the scimitar ( well mostly did by picard but what ever ) they would do anything in their power to get as much info as possible about the scimitar design. The ideea would be not to have the scimitar ingame, but something verry close to it in terms of design - think of it as a romulanized scimitar - and no the tavara is not a scimitar in any way. As for sniky additions for the roms ... wow i can't wait ( amybe the phase cloack from armada 2 would be a great addition and a new troop ship - by the time you can build the tavara capturing a construction ship is not much of an option ... ).

there won't be scimitar or romulanized scimitar in fleet operations. i have always been a fan of the romulans. i liked happens in nemesis, but i didn't like how it happened.
however it's not out of the question that the tavara someday gets a new design or some new weapons or sneaky features like something with the cloak. i'd really like to do that actually

Reading that last message pleases me to no end.

Hmmm... more RedMan's idea than my own: but the Rhienn transwarp from Borg mixed tech could do with a bit of range extension... possibly. It just doesn't seem to be long enough to merit getting the ship 

The Generix in Borg mixed tech was supposedly fantastic, so

well, his generix musta been better then what i was usiing, i couldnt get anything to take out your borg, any ship i snet out was killed, to bad i hgavce to lesve, i wonder how the game turned out......

I invaded shortly thereafter upon seeing that both Serpicus and Cbosdell had assembled fleets and were preparing for a joint atttack....and thus I had some fun watching explosions. Serpicus at the same time took the time to invade with his own fleet and destroy Mark's base, followed by most of my own (though my constructors were with my fleet so I rebuilt my base where your base was). Then I doubled back with Mark's fleet and destroyed Serpicus's fleet with my leftover fleet (something like 12 cubes, 10 diamonds, 2 spheres).

If you want, I can give you some hopefully helpful hints when using the other races
