Romulan fleets

sophlogimosophlogimo Member Posts: 6,507 Arc User
... is what we will nee when we get a Romulan faction. And since we have all seen one or two fleets with too few members and difficulty to get to tier 2, 3 or 4, Romulan fleets will have to be large in order to catch up.

So, I ask you: Do we already have an organized Romulan community in the game that might serve as a seed for a Romulan fleet once the faction is there? If not, maybe we should found one?

    jumping the gun a bit arn't we? :p

    I assume If a 3rd faction is released, there will be a large influx of people making their own fleets, complaining that they need lower REQs to catch up, then after a few weeks just accept it.

    Smaller fleets will dry up and merge with larger ones, or if the 3rd faction is a flop, have less people in the fleet than your average KDF fleets, which most players only use a their secondary fleet for their federation toons,

    But hey, im just a cynical person :p

    Well, it will get filled with either player characters or by more or less idle alts, depending on what we will get as a Romulan faction. I would certainly like playing a Romulan even if this faction would be just pure level 50 endgame without any prior FEs, a faction which unlocks when players have a lvl 50 character in one of the other factions. However I don't know yet if I would join the fleet grind again, regardless of what if offers and how well this faction is developed. It's just too much of a pain.

    Or maybe people will just learn from their experience and build one giant fleetbase together. This behavior certainly exists among KDF where a few 500+ member fleets are steadily advancing to Tier 5, whereas smaller fleets die.

    this is the fleet i am in. we are not really developing Base or Embassy now, but we wanna start full when the Romulans will be released.

    and yes, the bigger the fleet, the faster the progress. inactive members kicked after 2-3 months and so on..

    I really wish there was a merge fleet with assets option. Meh

    I'd like to get embassy consoles some day with my kdf guy. Only way that'll happen is to pay a fleet to swap through -- our four man fleet won't ever manage it.

    Interesting... I asume you chose KDF for this? The number of members seems quite high...how many exactly?

    i don't really know, but the majority is playing FED. There is a fleet channel ingame, and we do stuff together..

    The KDF part is smaller , but alive.

    As said there arepeople which are not active now, because they got bored, but will return after Romulan launch.

    Feel free to register and ask in the forum :D

    If the Romulan Faction belong to the Romulan Star Empire or whatever rises out of the current Romulan mess, then I don't see how the Romulan Reputation will change that much. The rewards might need to be reworked or add new variations. For example, weapons from the Romulan faction could be changed in some way instead of being Plasma Disruptors. New types of fighters could be added so they are currently using something other than scorpion fighters. Some dialogue might need to be changed.

    Doesn't sound very promising, honestly... I mean, a Romulan fleet will have cloakable ships, and the closest to that we curently have are the various KDF ships. If you people can mostly not be bothered to play a faction that is at least closer in space gameplay than the feds... then it does not give me much hope that the same people will suddenly put a lot of effort into a Romulan fleet and starbase?

    there ARE people on the KDF side :D it's like 2:1

    look, i don't know, i am just a new member there and i like the people, they are nice, we have a good chat about everything Romulan related and the weather, there are some BIG fans among them..

    why do they play FED? i honestly don't understand it too :D perhaps cause of vulcans, and also, many of them are here from the launch, so perhaps they got burned when they created a KDF toon back then?

    WHEN the Romulan faction is released, i think we should organize here in the Forums and form a big fleet which will progress fast.

    and i really believe they will build the starbase once Romulans are launched. It is hard for a big fan to build something not related to your fandom and you know you will be abandoning at some point.
