Ahhh.... here is my version of Boggy's idea.
Replace the Disruptor Refit with support refit. The support refit would loose the long range in exchange for stronger shields, as well as a couple of defensive specials (proposed abilities listed further down post). These defensive specials enable an early support fleet along with it having good speed. Ideal abilities would be:
Plasma Conduict Interchange (Lvl 1):
This changes the energy distrubution of the Rhienn. Lasts till cancelled. It draws energy from the disruptors, trading 30% of its disruptor power for a shield recharge increase of 25%. Also it slightly boosts the maximum shield capacity.
Inverse Disruptor (Lvl 2):
This fires a small pulse at a ship, this briefly disables either weapons, sensors, or engines. This ability cannot be used when the Interchange is active. Length of disable time increases with lower chassis, and decreases with ranked up targets (For example: A Monsoon would be out for 5 seconds on a system unlike an intrepid being out for 4.3 seconds. Also a double silver Monsoon would be disabled for 4.6 seconds compared to an unranked at 5).
Shield Transfer (Lvl 3):
This removes some of its shield power and gives it to an allied target through a beam. (Though there is a loss, like 200 might be taken from the Rhienn, but the Generix it gives it to would only get 75 or 105 points) This cannot be used when the interchange is active.
Okay, for the Frigate refit maybe we should give it short range in exchange for a special ability. Like this one.
Disruptor Burst:
This fires a burst of pulse disruptors that can disable a subsystem to some long range targets.
Oh... and one more thing. Lets change the support refit of the Generix a bit. Give it a long range beam. And a short ranged pulse disruptor (like the Heavy Cruiser in the dominion). And I find the Plasma bolt rather useless. I propose this instead.
Phase Cloak:
This can momentarily cloak the ship making it able to phase through objects. It has a rather high drain rate that decreases as the ship ranks up. (Of course at first you can only hold it for say, 3 seconds? But if you were to use it as double gold you could then be able to hold your cloak for 6 or 7 seconds.)

when would phase cloak come in handy?
the only thing i can think of is cutting through some asteroids to harass mining, but the cost of that would be expensive. it would be useful in rare circumstances.

To be honest i don't think that a support unit is a tank. A support units should support e.g. tanks. It has no huge shields itself. The third special is indeed a supporters special.
Inverse disruptors, asides the nonsense-name, is not too much more than the experimental disruptors ofthe shrike. It is in some respect even better than the shrike's one. An advanced experimental disruptor. Would somehow fit a disruptor refit IMO.
Your suggestion for the frigate ... a long range advanced experimanal disuptor. Why not. But it would miss any logic if it was for long range targets only, so I expect it means, it has long range in contrast to all other frigates weapons.
Why shoud a support refit carry a special that eases harrassment? A support refit supports, supports a fleet, and thus it's not intended for passing asteroid fields and ambush on it's own. Please propose a harassment-refit if you want a phase cloak implemented, or propose it for a unit already used for harrassment.

Okay... maybe the Phase Cloak was a bit out at left field. Though what about the rhienn stuff. That I'd like the most. Plus it doesn't focus on only weapons. It can hit sensors or engines too boosting its defensive nature. The other abilities are purely defense of course.

This makes it a "defense-refit". Im not against defensive units at all. But it the disruptor-refit was replaced by the defense-refit helev would lack an early game andi destroyer unit.

there will be a lot of changes in the Romulan gameplay. we took care to fix some stuff for 3.1.2, but the general gameplay redo will introduce a bunch of new vessels either way
