Asthetics: Romulan Starbase

Request for a prettier Romulan starbase. It's way to blocky. Compare it to the D'deridex (which looks stunning).

I think both models actually look somewhat outdated (when compared to Feds or Borg or Dominion for instance)
Though I dislike the D'deridex model more

Its true, the Rommy star base is looking long in the tooth. The other faction's bases really resemble their tech, with a shiny silver fed outpost, an intimidating spikey klingon base, and an asymetrical bodged together borg unimatrix, and a swoopy tail-finned dommy base; while the romulan base doesn't really so much match its sleek curvey green ships so well. It seems stuck somewhere between the sleek TNG inspired small ships like the shrike and the big old D', and the angular, feathered movie designs like the Tvara and Norexan.

just my two cents though

I thought the Rommie base looked nice. However, I would like to see some more metallic shading in the green.

I like the Roommie base. Coincidentally, it's the D'deridex that I'd like to see a new model for.

I'd quite like a new Klingon base as well, to go with the posh new stations that are trickling out with each new patch.

I like the Romulan Starbase, but I think the SFC3 Klingon base is better than the Kahless Station.

The Romulan Starbase looks fairly new but I agree it could deal at least with some touchups of course - compared to the brand new Singularity Generator and Defense Battery it is quite archaic  . The D'deridex will get some much needed love when there is time to redo the model of course

most of the old beta2 models are on todo for their redos, including the Romulan stations, but models do always take quite some time. I'm just in the process to redo a few models for 3.1.3, and you will see more replacements in future patches just be patient

I noticed today that Pulse Disruptor shots of the Romulan starbase follows enemy movement. Could you add a missrate for these shots?

That's because they are now using the new classlabel

this is normal behaviour. fed base does it too. it only matters vs scouts really, as they are the only ships fast enough to make pulses look slow.
