to be honest i wasnt all that impressed with the scimitar.  the enterprise took a lot more hits and when diana finally located the ship it only took the enterprise a couple of volleys to disable them. 

the advantage the scimitar had was the fire while cloaked thing, now why does that sound familiar    and when the enterprise rammed the scimitar it took shredded through the scimitar like butter while most of the saucer section remained in place.

I'd like a ship that is undetectable to any enemies... after all. All races deserve some ship that has an unequaled advantage...

All races... unequaled advantage.

Maybe i am misunderstanding here but if you have an unequaled advantage means no other race has a counter/similar unit. However when you say 'all' then you want every race to have one? doesn't sound very unequal to me.

No... what I meant was that each race should have a ship that no other of its race could compare to... like:

- Feds get a weapon that makes an instant wormhole allowing to travel anywhere on the map.
- Klingons would get this Overhauled ship armed with dozens of disruptors and torpedoes.
- Roms get the Scimitar with its special cloak and the Theleron cannon as well as the fire when cloaked ability.
- Doms get a ship covered with Sheild penetrating weapons...
- Borg get a large (Wolf 359 style) Cube with Tatcial Armor, sheild penetrating Cutting Beams (multitarget), System Disabling Grav Torps, and a Holding beam sending 100 drones a second (The crew would be very high).

Do I smell a Borg Transwarp Hub?

Not a Romulan ship...and discussed to death, anyway.

The Borg are already getting a TNG style cube... it's called the Command Cube (yet again I say this...). And the Wolf 359 Cube didn't have Tactical Armor (like the Tactical Armor we consider TA anyway).

A ship sending 100 drones per second to capture through shields would mean instant death for pretty much any vessel or station. I really don't like these unbalanced ideas.

Well, The Borg are far fetched... strike that out...

i think it would be better if the dominion just had a better version of the breen energy dampening torpedo that could completely disable a ship but had a very slow rate of fire

I would not be opposed to having the scimitar as a replacement for the Tavara for a Reman avatar. It would help maintain balance if it were only slightly greater/lesser offense defense and system values. But I agree it should not be a one shot one kill theleron / firing while cloaked ridiculousness.

I thought the Devs said there would be no remans in the game, and the scimitar would be a map object?

This is what I have heard as well so I'm not sure why this topic continues to be just beaten to death. But hey... everyone has their 'wants'.

it would make sense that somehow the romulans had got hold of the design specs and built their own just no theleron weapon and only a standard cloak

That would likely be where the Tavara comes in.

the only thing the enterprise disabled was the scimitars cloak its weapons were still online and its shields were still at 70% when the big e rammed her
