Another Shortie for the Romulans

I was talking with folks on Tunngle, and was thinking of how the Romulans lack short ranged vessels.  The only one they have is the leahval, and it's really expensive.

Then I was thinking of the Erisis, and how it's already a fast vessel.  It could be a nice short ranged vessel, which would give the roms one more counter versus ships with TWA passives like the neghvar.  If it was made a shortie, it could get a reduction in cost, and would be really appealing for Helev I think.  Mijural already has a nice anti short ranged unit in the shrike.

Even if this doesn't happen, I would like to see one more romulan vessel that is short ranged, preferable from the warbird yard.

Part of the reason the Eresis is SO expensive is because it has ADAI (who knew, right?).

  But I absolutely agree that the Rommies could do with another shortie.  I had hoped that one of the Romulan Generix refits would end up becoming short range .

I like it too - it fits the Eresis' fast strike nature, and that ship is the weakest of the Warbirds, so it would be nice to give it a more specific role to make it more attractive

Is attractive alright well maybe not from a gameplay standpoint but it sure looks cool. When i vs the AI as rommies i play as Helev so i can build that ship.
