Reman Subfaction - ever possible ?

  I for one live reman design and technology alot ( the scimithar is probably my fav star trek ship ever ). So my question is are we ever going to see the reman in FO. If yes ( God i do hope so ), i see it under 2 possibilites:
  1. Remans as a NPC race. With a cool starbase, a yard and stuff like that. What every other npc race will get.
  2. Romulans get a new research - Reman Alliance. After this they can build the Reman Shipyard were they will have 2-3 ships, one of them - battleship class - the Scimithar class. I think it would offer the roms new tactical possibilites and make them even more awsome then they already are. The scimithar should be a powerfull ship, but should cost lots of credits, and have a big overall cost.

  Any chance we see the Remans in FO ever ?

how about they get this research only if they capture a reman NPC.

Meaning not Feds not klings not borg not dominion - Just Romulans, if they capture a Reman NPC starbase they get this ability. (this would only be possible if remans NPCs are ever enabled).
but would love to see the rommies building a one off scimitar, or a one at a time scimitar.... like fed one off or one ata  time Prometheus classes.

mhm, it is a nice idea 

but in only know the ships form star trek nemesis (scimitar & fighter scorpion-class)

Are there some other ship classes? 

Btw. the scimitar is a very mighty ship... you will need a ship like the prometheus to take it down....

Isn't the tavara just like a romulan scimitar...?
Do the romulans really need another ships thats about as strong as a tavara and performs exactly the same role? Or do you want it to be even stronger than a tavara, something like a little cube...?

yes sir. we kinda think of it as a scimitar-norexan hybrid, built by the Roms after nemesis.
the Scimitar could be wat the tav is now once the Tavara is downgraded and fancified as Optec described th scimitar would be able to be approximately at 90% of the present Tavara implementation.

I however would be more interested in the biogenic weapon on the Scimitar... imagine a borg cube with 10k drones and a couple of biogenic shots and boom the cube is crewless - captured by rommies

One thing I never understood is how other races pilot a Cube.

Good point, beacause they wouldn't even be able to capture it normally, and if they would for some reason succeed in capturing it, it would be much too complicated for them to use.

It also seems very borg-ish to auto self-destruct a cube before it can be boarded.

hey if they can get to the borg central core and understand how the interplexing beacons work, as well as other stuff in teh voyager series, they'll improvise something.

it's just a game after all.

So if I board a Cube, I could control it by learning how communications works?

u tell me. after all it's implemented in the game. after we kill off 110000 drones will we be able to control a borg cube or not

nothing major tho, the mods can simply disable beaming onto a borg cube or use the borg cube beaming as part of the salvage tech gain that was discussed a few threads ago.

but a scimitar with a biogenic weapon would be a good strike-ship against any ship regardless of race. would render the tavara irrelevant.
of course to balance we can alter the recharge rate, much as the recharge rate of the eclipse and death star II are adjusted in Forces of corruption

Or do what the Borg Incursion mod did to the Scimitar.  Declared that only the prototype had that weapon, and the production model instead had something like more guns, or bigger engines, or more Shield Emitters or something.

if we ever do Reman vessels they will be mapobjects or a np race, but not playable and in no way part of the Romulan Star Empire
