I have to agree with this. Not only that, do you really expect us as testers to grind through the Tholian rep, only to have to redo it on live?
Could you not simply give a stipend on tribble every day, that is enough to work our way up through the rep in time to test all the powers etc?
Certainly not going to Nukara to grind endlessly to get a measly 5 marks per go, especially not in a test enviroment....
A better complaint should be that the missions are both time-gated AND hard-capped. THAT is bull****.
I'm not sure if anyone else has already posted this, but I REALLY REALLY like the updated UI contact window displaying the appropriate background. For example, I got to see my helm officer in the correct position on my galaxy bridge with the his actual background and angle when I was prompted to warp to a different sector.
NOTE: It doesnt seem to work everytime I speak to a bridge officer. Also when warping to different sectors such as Tau Dewa I dont get the background either. A bug?
The same for any contact I've spoken to so far, you see the background appropriate to where the character is standing on the map.
Not a bug. It's been posted a few times that they're currently capping Romulans as they balance out higher tier ships and such. So, right now, the Promotion at 20 is disabled for testing.

I saw a Romulan player at max level in a D'deridex retrofit the other day. Who never responded to my tells asking how they achieved that, and was not marked recognizably as a dev or anything of the sort.

well the Story is capped at lv20, but if you get to lv50 you can buy the Z-store ships as usual on tribble.

Nicely done!!
I noticed that too with the tailor at the Academy. It's pretty damn cool.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
Is that how it worked? Could've fooled me, looked more like it was charging whenever I was hit by an energy weapon attack, not whenever I used one. Oh well, small amount every second should be clearer at least.
There's a trait that does that as a proc that you probably have. I wish they had left it the old way to be honest. Getting hit to charge the thing or sitting around on red alert to charge it is not very Romulanish
I have completed every mission for Fed side Romulan without any issues to level 21. I have now started a Romulan Tac that will join the KDF.
The issue I have is with the story line. We are dealing with D'Tan's organization, which is strongly biased to Reunification with the Vulcan people. Intuitively, it makes more sense a Romulan in such an organization would join the Federation to promote reunification. Romulans joining the KDF should adhere more to the old RSE/Tal'Shiar mentality.
Just my opinion.

And here's the confusion they've created. From a storyline perspective, you don't 'join' either side. You're still part of the Romulan Republic. You might think of it as being a representative/ambassador to the KDF or Feds, or perhaps more like an officer exchange. At least, that's the idea behind it. There's also the fact that the KDF would never foster the RSE/Tal'Shiar mentailty, because they really don't want that group back in power. They want a collection of weak (peaceful) allies that they can exploit for technology.
The fact that you lose all Romulan identity, save for your ship, from the moment you join either faction in a gameplay standpoint is really rather sad.

The KDF isn't really interested in weak allies. They despise weakness. They do want strong allies they can depend on who agree with their sense of honor. The reason they hate the Romulans is the history of subterfuge used against the empire. The KDF has its own science and engineering. While it may try to acquire new technology, it isn't doing so any more or less than any other political faction.
The KDF is still at war with the Federation (yes, I know, the war has not really been played out) so a new ally like a capable anti-Federation part of the RSE would be welcome, while the macinations of the Tal'Shiar would be completely unacceptable to the KDF.

Not Sure but you can't add ZEN to tribble accounts so they musta brought the $124 Legacy pack which would've given them such access. also they probably had corporate back-up to test the system for a Magazine review cause Normal players just ain't gonna pay that kinda money for early access on Tribble

Sorry, but the Legacy pack is not available on Tribble. Brandon said so in the Legacy pack FAQ thread I think.
And leveling is capped at 21 atm for rommie play. Yes you can level by other means, but you won't have the ships AFAIK.
You might have seen a Dev or maybe as you said a gameing magazine doing a pre-view of LOR, wich is not uncommon.
But if it is regular Tribble players, I would be really surprised, since no Romulan ships are on the C-Store as of yet, and since you do not have any mission past 21, it can't be the ship you get free when leveling up either...
I'll buy your explanation for these UFO's on Tribble
Call Commander Straker at S.H.A.D.O.W. Base. We have U-foes.:D
I am wondering if you saw a ship from Redshirt side? It's a separate test server for the Devs so maybe they were trying out the latest development on Tribble?

That's why I will play my Romulans as loyal Romulans. They may be allied with <insert faction here>, but they will still be a member of the Romulan Republic, and still wear the uniform of the Romulan Republic, not the hybrid <faction>-Romulan uniform.
It's like the relationship between the British and American militaries. They may be allies, and a member or unit may serve with the other's services on the other's bases, but they are still members of their own military, not the other's.
when i try to set my ground team it kicks me off the test server and same with my second caracter and and the same with my fed carater aswell. I don't no if this a bug or glitch but some people are able to claim a level 30 ship for romulans. Also i still have that glich for fed and romulans were if i enter or exit a sytem my bridge officers are not there i have to reslot them to there stations for space other than that it has been a fun experience keep up the good work and would love to see more content for the romulans
When playing a new Federation character, attempting to start the new mission on Nimbus III, directly after 'Past Imperfect'... the prompt never appears, no matter what distance you are from the planet.
In addition, attempting to skip past this series doesn't work either, as the actual Skip button is greyed out. So either way you're stuck
Was named Trek17.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Is it really that hard to miss the fact that the last mission description in the third arc says something along the lines of 'there's no more missions yet'?
[*]Plasma Infuser consoles now only affect Directed Energy weapon attacks.
You know... this is going to be a problem for Rommie captains as their singularity skills have just gone from right to underpowered and numerous dedicated plasma builds that were the only way to make certain ships (Looking at the Galaxy R) viable in most (if not all) content, it also reduces the desire to run a Romulan plasma-boat which seems silly as all the starting and early mission weapon rewards are plasma based.
While I know that tactical captain buffs will have an effect of this why can't you adjust them so that they don't buff ALL damage like they currently do allowing for Eject warp plasma, Directed energy modulation and other eng powers to be given more damage AND science can then be un-nerfed which would be a FAR better move for the game as a whole, better for the player-base and make an entire class (more) viable.

Forcing a player to pick a certain weapon set to make best use of an unrelated ability does not make for fun and varied gameplay. Using plasma weapons and having that boost other abilities is just a band-aid for lackluster strength.
Also if it were somehow favorable to steer players to a damage type that fits their faction, then they would have some sort of synergy with starfleet style powers and phasers, and klingon style powers with disruptors. It isn't favorable to do that, so they don't, and it's not any more favorable to shoehorn every Romulan player into using the same equipment.
Remove the 20-hr cool down on the Romulan space dailies and make them 1-hr cd like STFs. Do the same thing for 60 nukara marks + whatever a new Nukara Rep red alert will be whenever LOR goes live, people that enjoy bunny tagging can continue to do so, those that hate it you have just given them an extra avenue to pursue their Romulan/Tholian mark collection without feeling Forced to go down a certain path to obtain the Romulan shinies they want. To people who say just tag bunnies think on this, When you roll your 1-2 new Romulan toons in May are you honestly looking forward to the space bunny marathon you will need to do or would you rather do say 2 space "dailies" and get your marks for the next several projects that way, and then you can tag you bunnies for the long term payout in marks?
I still don't understand the reason for the 20-hr cool down on Rom space daily. Do I like tagging space bunnies? NO but you have to put in your silly 10 day grind to earn tags/research/raises the little moppets grrr..... and there is a difference if you do as KDF vs FED you can find a team pretty quick 95% of the time anytime, KDF mmmm.... not so much during peak hours generally good times otherwise lol good luck with that.
I Played Nukara when it was 1st released for about a month you know what, I HATE THOLIANS , there is a reason Advanced Tholian reward crates were 45-85k and Elite Tholian reward crates were 250k+, seems others don't like to go there as well other than some dedicated farmers, being dragged into a pool of goo in exterior hard missions while interesting the 1st couple of times quickly became annoying.
Oh and Zero if your reading this the ground passive Cryo immobilizer Module, really needs to be looked at and reworked since you basically give the worst part of the Cryo pulsewave to every weapon 20% of the time, as a passive :eek:
Do you do the missions of Defera? For Omega marks that is. The Omega mark rewards are just the same: 5 for Easy, 7 for Medium, and 10 for hard. So in comparison, the Nukara mark rewards are the same if not better than what's being offered on Defera (5 for Easy, 10 for Medium, and 15 for Hard). These are all very simple missions and don't take a lot of time at all.
But like I mentioned in a previous post, we need some way to earn lots of Nukara marks in one shot; similar to STFs, Tau Dewa Patrol, or Epohh Raising. The Nukara missions are good as a supplement to something bigger, but not as the main source for Nukara marks. Unless the required number of marks needed for each tier has been substantially reduced.
Reduced :P roflmao... I fell outta my chair reading that
Takes me maybe 20 minutes to complete the rom space daily, and its a lot less like work for double the rewards you list. Does not matter much that its daily. Just means I do it once per day, completing when the rep hour is running and go off and do other things. That one run gives me enough to do 1-2 days worth of projects in the low levels. Save them up and by the time the ~30 day timers have run out you have enough to max the system and have about 500 marks left over.
I don't bother with Defara, I did it once or twice for the FM and OM but found it was much faster to do just about anything else. I have not been there for months.
The reason I run Defera, other than to see how many times it will cause my game to crash :P, is for the fleet marks. if you run it during the rep hour and do all the missions you can acculumalte 300-700 Fleet marks depending on how much effort you put into it.
Why am I unable to create a Romulan char on Tribble server?
I deleted all my lv50 char from there and re-transferred my lv 50's to see if this helped but to no avail. Do I need to have paid for one the packs first i.e. Legacy or something. Any1 plz help!!

You can only make a rom if u got a email invite for closed beta testing, if u got the email u can make a rom if not you cant not make one at this time right now.

How is it that some people can create a Romulan character without getting an email about the beta? I was one of the people who didn't get an email (I have Marketing/Promotional emails from PWE/Cryptic turned off, by the way), and I was able to create a Romulan character, so explain how that can happen.

Relevant. That player(screenshot is without UI) in the D'deridex I mentioned. Specifically a D retrofit, not the fleet one or a t4 or t4 refit.
<Dev> T'Co@nduguid: The limit is on a mission taking you to Nimbus, not a hard level limit
<Dev> T'Co@nduguid: You can level past 20, but will be stuck doing DSEs and such
<Dev> T'Co@nduguid: 20 is when Nimbus starts though, so if you level yourself to 30, then we unlock Nimbus, you may be boning yourself
