Romulan Wish List

jhawranickjhawranick Member Posts: 11 Arc User
Since Romulans became playable, I have found some things "wanting" where RP is concerned.
1. On-ship tailors - actually these would be nice for any faction, maybe a console in the captain's quarters
2. D7/K'tinga/Koro paintjobs with BOP decal
3. Trophy room/shelves
4. Bridges, especially the T'liss as seen in Balance of Terror
5. Maybe some TOS doffs, maybe holographic Mark Leonard or Joanne Linville characters

I know some of these have been brought up before. Never hurts to "bump" the topic though.

    As a Costume Fiend... I wouldn't mind seeing this.
    2. D7/K'tinga/Koro paintjobs with BOP decal
    Maybe if they allowed Romulans to have that particular ship. Only way right now is to play KDF, and only have access to the T2 battlecruiser. Maybe the Fleet T5 as well. As far as I know, Cryptic has no plans to release the Romulan variant to players.
    3. Trophy room/shelves
    As the default Romulan bridge is pretty static, I wouldn't mind. Problem is we haven't gotten any new trophies to display for years now.
    4. Bridges, especially the T'liss as seen in Balance of Terror
    Wouldn't mind seeing this option available. Same with maybe a Klingon D7 bridge. However Bridges don't sell well, and haven't for some time. The last for sale bridge we got was the full TNG Galaxy interior... for 2k Zen. The map is beautiful... but it doesn't really justify the price for just an interior alone. Every other interior came in a bundle with other things.
    5. Maybe some TOS doffs, maybe holographic Mark Leonard or Joanne Linville characters
    Who knows.

    Yeah. It is just a wish list, although I bet a good half of these could be as simple as toggled updates. I would think you'd need a KDF-aligned Rommie for the D7 variants, but including the ships (isn't there a T6 version?) should be no different than an unlock. Same with bridges. The paintjob would need an artist. People have griped about trophy cases and interiors since LoR to no avail. My guess is the tailor will get the same attention. But, never hurts to ask. A few years back, there was a contest to design DOFFs, so making new ones shouldn't be hard.

    Thank you for your input. You've given me something to think about.

    There is a T6 D7, however it is Klingon ONLY. Romulans get the T6 Temporal T'Liss.

    It would be nice to get a Khenn-class Romulan battlecruiser, which is just a D7 with a Rom paintjob. If that were available, it might actually tempt me to purchase the 23rd-century Romulan uniforms, to play a time-displaced Rihannsu commander (similar to Kirrk, my 23c Klink - used the 23c head and the best imitation of the correct uniform I could make).

    For some reason (possibly some licensing nonsense, though probably modeling expense) STO seems to be staying away from any D-7 variant except for the K't'inga which would not be particularly canon for the Romulan Stormbirds. Still, it would be nice to have that sticker (and maybe even material) option even if it is on a K't'inga since the Romulans have so few ships compared to the main factions.

    One background question that brings up though is whether they would be 'warp core' or 'singularity core' (which could be part of the reluctance to include them since it could be seen as an IP issue of some sort). On the other hand, if it is considered a conversion of more than just mounted weapons (like the Romulans experimenting with breaking the ship away from a dependence on expensive for Romulans to get dilithium crystals) they could use the same 3D model for two very different ships performance and systems wise.

    Also, if it was an open Romulan choice it means that some of the ships would end up in Federation-aligned Romulan hands which CBS seems to have a problem with for some reason.

    We have a Republic ship in Z-store that IS Warp core enabled. The Silik cruiser.

    A few more costumes would be really nice, the Republic uniform only has 2 variations would be nice to see one or two more. Also a few more hair styles.

    C-store Carrier would be fantastic as well as a C-store TOS looking ship.

    Also just a simple thing, rework the skins on the romulan ships because a lot of them look like trash on a lot of romulan ships

    It would have to be KDF-aligned, don't you think? The Fed makes little sense. Of course, they could throw FED-aligned Rommies something nice, maybe something T3 (or whatever the D7 is). I wouldn't mind it being a Zen purchase either, just something to represent the technology crossover historically.

    How about giving Roms a real faction of their own. New Romulus is also a disaster, after having YEARS to get that place in order they haven't completed any infrastructure or development. The Romulan Republic is clearly the laziest bunch of Roms ever, what a disgrace. If Sela was still in charge I bet things would be different.

    New Romulus REALLY does need some kind of makeover. New ships and costume options would be nice too.

    Technically speaking, the entire timespan of STO takes place over just slightly over 2 years.

    New Romulus has only existed for around slightly over half a year of that.
    to put in this into perspective, the romulan character tutorial happens in january 2409 and we're now in 2410 or early 2411 at the very latest.

    They need to purge the slackers in the Staging Area and get some Romulans willing to work in there. I'm tired of admonishing them. ;)

    also the facilities on Mol'Rihan got built during that time period since one of the early Rom missions sees you go to the planet to decide IF they can build there.

    I think it's because the in game timeline makes no sense, so much has happened in the briefest period of time. How many threats has Starfleet suddenly faced, researched and developed counter equipment and ships, gotten that equipment built and distributed than defeated the threat in the span of like.. a year?
    The whole timeline is nonsense in it's purest form.

    The Dominion war took 2 years in DS9, if it was in STO we'd encounter the Dominion, fight them than beat them in the span of 3 weeks

    Agreed. I've stopped admonishing them and just leave them be and do other, more important things. Like fixing stuff they can't be bothered with and picking reports up that they scatter all over creation.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Yes. The Iconian assault on New Romulus and the area around the city went completely unnoticed by the workers or maybe they're rebuilding the damage from the war. I dunno. The game's timeline makes little sense to me.

    if they could fix, the problem of the boff allegiance. half the time, a romulan boff bought in the exchange doesn't belong to the good faction, and can't wear the good uniform.

    + a new uniform (modern this time) with no glitches. they could redo the romulan adventure zone which is a little bit crappy. the environment is nice but the missions wow! boring. Or they can use as an excuse the reconstruction of the colony on the planet virinat, to add new missions and a special mission for winning 1 of those big flying khellids. that would be cool to have this flying khellid as a combat pet :p

    + a bat, for my reman toon. :D

    Yes, we're all living in hyperaccelerated time. (I have a headcanon about the actual date, but of course that doesn't affect Word of God from the devs.)

    I can think of one more thing I'd love to see for Romulans - a better color palette. Why does everything the Republic does have to be in shades of pastel? Why not some good bold colors for our Roms?
