I  you, Timmy.

I'll even repeat verbatim what you said for added effect.

Okay, there's something I think you missed with your energy-draining spheres.

If you're facing Romulans, you really do need to make a few outright Prime spheres.  I'm talking either Prime3/Regen 1, or Prime 3/Beam1.

One shot from a tri-prime sphere will erase a support's energy stores.  Just one.  And said sphere will have a high attack, good defense, and pretty good subsystem strength to boot.  It just won't have the Regenerate special.

That's fine, it's one and only job is to make sure that the enemy can't use annoying specials on you, and it's very, very good at that job.

Ever wonder why lots of people are forgoing almost all other romulan ships to spam waves and waves of spectres and supports

The reason is, that your Generix is the backbone of your midgame! Rhienns, Leavhals and Griffins are for earlygame. So if I do a Generix strat I go straigt into Generix researching the refits one by one. Mixing in other (weaker) ships I need to build the other techtree first (Research Center). Therefore I only count on Generix. The other midgame strat is goint right into Disruptor Rhienns...but they will likely spammed too. The other yard ships are quite weak for direct engagements...

Yep, all current Generix Refits will vanish or be completely overhauled in 3.1.3, as the faction-redo-Generix is introduced for the Romulans
shield recharge is gone in its current form

In its current form? Does that mean it still exists but different, like the Nanites?

maybe a passive increasing shield regen near the ships...we don't know and will happily wait for the next patch!

that would be a mistake, a mistake i have made before, i tried using the tri prime spheres, yes they have good attack, and yes they stop enemy weapons, but it lacks regen, which means it will die very fast, your prime modules wont disable normal weapons, which will pummel your sphere. then when you try retreat your not-too-fast sphere it will be destroyed. it may seem nice to build these, they look good on paper, but a sphere without regen is really not so good. if u wanted to be sneaky you could place 1 of these among your regen spheres, and pray that the enemy doesnt notice one of your spheres doesnt have regen lol.

I hope it keeps the Plasma bolt at least.

it probably wont, it will be a dedicated minelayer according to the guide.

maybe another ship will get plasma bolt.

yep, there will probably be new ability concerning shield regeneration for the Romulans

I guess they could put the bolt on the Frigate refit? It has no ability at all atm.

it doesn't need a special, it eats small ships fine without one lol.

Wait!? No more Generex supports! I am very happy now!

the supports will become dedicated minelayers is what the guide says, so expect more mines lol
