D'deridex veteran ability

We are looking for a typical romulan ability, as veteran abilities should have abilities that reflect the races characteristics. Your idea is fitting any race.

Holo emitters creating several fake tavaras around the ship, that appear to cloak when the warbird gets near enemy sensors.

Ok, so after thinkint this over it wouldn't do anything against the AI, and it would just make the other amass ships th attack your vet, ensuring that you lose it.

So how about a reverse cloak?  It cloaks all enemy ships and stations arount your ship for a set period of time.  So if the ship of station started to shoot at you, it would lose its shields.  Also shipyards could not build in cloak, Construction ships can not build, and mining ships cannot mine.

Translation?  It doesn't really matter to me, I don't play the Romies a lot, so if it is some kind of insult, then pay no mind to my Ideas.

Are you talking to a modification to prevent building? Because as things are, Constructors, Starbases, Research Stations and Shipyards can build while cloaked.

try this then:
* Fleet Defense Coordination
    Coordinates the defensive ability of all nearby ships, boosting their system value by 5 (or 10)
since the romulans like to have high system value, how about that?

You seet to miss that. Your suggested feature especially fit's federation, that often use similar techniques, like "Organize defense" or "Vector calculation" (whereas those two are increasing offense in an AoE) Serpicus and my idea is targetted at making cloak more meaningful and unpreictable in late game, to elongate a romulan style gameplay.

Yeah you have a point... the overpowering presence idea seems (to me at least) to extend from the "Majestic Flight" ability that the d'deridex already has...

Your idea is good RCIX gowever 'Overpowering Presence' seems more in line with a ship like the Negh'var or Dreadnought/V13 and for their races specifically.

Wouldn't the aggressive races klie klingns and dominion use 'Overpowering Presence' rather with an attack bonus than a defense bonus? As their armies might be very frightning, wouldn't it be interesting to have an AoE in which the opponent player loses control of some vessels, which then retreat?

I believe that majestic flight is in it's function not typical romulan feature, but a defensive one, which would alsoapply for federation, if they had a majestic ship (ok, some mey call the galaxy majestic, or the non-canon excalibur). I see romulan features a sneaky stuff, as the FO-team would say: spying, sabotage, ambush.
