Rolling a Romulan

This maybe premature, would it be safe to assume that the best professions for creating a Romulan toon would be Tac and Sci?

    insufficent data

    However given the sheer hull strength of the bigger ships maybe not

    Well, a Romulan Tac would be as useless as a Fed or KDF Tac... but some folks will likely roll one anyway.

    You might be able to squeeze by with a Rom Sci if you break out the wallet, because the free ships simply won't have the turn for those Sci abilities.

    Looks like we're going to have a bunch of OP Romulan Engineers...Cryptic's turned a blind eye to how OP the Eng is, and so far - nothing looks to be any different with LoR. Same ol' same ol' OP Eng...meh.

    The more important question will be, what will you roll? A fed or a kdf rommy?

    I can see the advantages of rolling a Fed one (Because feds always cry about cloak) now you can genuinely go into a 5v5 premade and simply bring your Fed. It has to become an accepted apperance now that feds have battlecloak.

    Either adapt or be vaped!!!

    where was it stated that romulans will have battle cloak (maybe ONE ship at that)? its not set in stone at all for battle cloaks but all the romulan ships will have the standard cloak at least.

    only battle cloak ship we know of is the B'rel and that is for kdf

    The B'rel has an EBC. There are several BoPs with a BC. There are Romulan BoPs. It follows there will be Romulan birds with battle cloaks. EBC...well, that will have to be seen.

    yeah bad mixup on my part lol...but so far stahl has said that all romulan ships will have at least the standard Cloak..mix that with subterfuge and its better than kdf cloaks lol...but so far the ONLY romulan/reman ship I've seen with a battle cloak is the Scimitar (Sela's from Cutting the Cord and Borg Donatra).

    Well, I mean - it's right there in the blog #3: http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=858671

    Second sentence - "Boasting unparalleled Cloaking technology..."

    Fourth paragraph - "Romulans are masters of Cloaking technology, and all Warbirds are equipped with a Cloaking device. In addition, the Romulan racial trait ? Subterfuge ? enhances the performance of Cloaking devices and increases the damage that their ships deal after lowering their Cloak."

    It will be interesting as the stats come out, eh?

    D'Deridex used a BC in:
    Project Nightingale - I.R.W. Rea
    Ground Zero - I.R.W. Sithesh

    A Reman BoP used a BC in:
    Frozen - unamed Reman BoP

    Those are just three I remember off the top of my head. Could probably look through to see if there are others if nobody else remembers any off the top of their head.

    I heard he was, but I couldn't see it myself - Tribble crashed 5 times in a row upon logging in.

    How exactly are Engineers OP? For the last year in the PVP forums everyone has been saying that Engineers are useless? Am I missing something here?

    Please report to the nearest starbase, it appears your ship's Sarcasm Detection Grid has malfunctioned.
    If you feel Keel'el's effect is well designed, please, for your own safety, be very careful around shallow pools of water.

    Those are just despawn animations. The only Romulan ships that use BCs in combat are the Scorpion fighters and Scimitar dreadnoughts.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Um, they're in combat when they "despawn"...to..."respawn" again later. Some might call that cloaking and decloaking.

    I bet one of the Scimitar consoles will be a fire while cloaked one. >: )
