Avatars

Now i'm not EXACTLY sure how the avatar thing works but apparently you click on whoever your gonna support and you get some specials. Now i'm not sure who you got setup for the Romulan avatars but I thought maybe you might be able to support (don't yell at me it seems legit) Shinzon. The other could be the Romulan Senate.

Now if you support the Senate maybe you could get crew quicker and get cheaper Warbirds, maybe give their con ships a beam Disruptor half the power of the ones the Klingon con ships have.

If you support Shinzy, you get the Scimitar. Now if you get the Scimitar, it has to be about twice as powerful as the Tavara so it should be about 6 credits. Maybe firing like the 2 pulse Disruptors the Norexan and Tavara fire (2X 27 damage), the dual torpedos the Tavara fires and dual beam Disruptors like ( 30-50 Damage around 3 second reload time). It could be buildable at the normal Warbird yard and take the place of the Tavara.

Now this seems like it could work. IF you don't already have the rommies avatars chosen.

I would say something like, Tal Shiar as pne, giving extra weapons to the intel structure or making it cot like 3 credits and better generix class.

Yeah you could replace the Senate or Shinzy with that (preferably the Senate, the Scimitar would be sweet).

The scimitar is has loads of weaponry and a perfect cloak, and the theyleron weapon. It would be like an instant version of the auto assimilator. I have no idea what these avatars are, however, since shinzon is dead and the scimitar with him, would it make much sense to be able to side with him. Their could be a reman rebellion perhaps. I have no idea what this talk of avatars and choosing sides means.

Dude thats being kind of literal. The point is he and the Scimitar exsisted. The ship wont have all the weapons it had in the movie because of balance issues.

well it should atleast have the theyleron beam

Actually, that might be kinda cool, for 100 special energy you can wipe out the crew of a ship in 1 swipe. Like the Borg except...faster.

and with a verry slow or no recharge rate, muahahahaah.

Yeah recharge rate should be real slow. Or maybe it should take like 30 seconds for the ship to use a theyleron beam when it has a target but can use it while cloaked.

not all the weapons? why not? make it that way that the price is 8 of 10 credits and tons of resources or so.. that ship was designed kill with one shot. balancing a ship like that to less power would be some sort of... *no comment*

thats like balancin a cube till it cant kill a lil bunch saber classes

Actually the Scimitar isnt that powerful. It's got shield and hull power off the chart but it took it forever to heavily damage the Enterprise-E and needed a few runs on the Norexan Warbirds. Besides it can't fire all it's disruptors at once so giving it all it's weapons would be unbalancing. All the klingons got when they support the duros family is some extra torpedos attachments and cheaper mining stations. Can't go overboard.

hmm.. then.. what about.. high end vessel.. lets say.. 4-disrupters, 40 damage, reload time 6 seconds. phase cloak as standard without special energy draining. and this beam to kill crew at 100% of energy, with a reload time rate of... lets say.. every 10 seconds 1 point..
and maybe some credit points..
just an idea... thought of ur balancin..

Weapons seem good, uh I don't think we could go phase cloak but just the regular one. I was hoping that it would cost like 6 credits and 3000-5000 dilithium and 1500-2500 tritanium and like 500 crew. The theyleron beam should use 100 special energy per ship its used against and kill all the crew on that ship.

hm, the romulan avatars for beta3 will be General Mijural and - most likly - General Helev, booth from the Tal'shiar.. there will be some rom the Galea in Beta4 (Sela won't be one, cause i want to save her for another feature in beta4.. ;-)

well in the Fleet Operations timeline the Remans do no longer realy exist.. after the Shinzon affaire the Romulan senate executed most Reman leaders and the conditions for the reman slaves on remus went even worth.. they won't really make it into a playbale race, but you will meet them in the campaign
