    No "Captain's Yacht" for the 400 day Romulans?

    Edit - Or do you get your ally's Captain's Yacht AFTER you choose your ally?

    I had been hoping to know which ships will be available with the vice admiral ship token. :/

    Other than that, I'm happy enough with this blog, pretty much what I had expected.

    Since the KDF and Fed 1000 days ships are basically carbon copies of each other, I wonder how the Singularity core will play into the nominal balance of the 1000 Day Rom ship.

    Also, please make these Fleet Level (or at the very least, open the purchase of a Fleet Version to 1000 dayers at the cost of 1 FSM).

    So two things:

    1. No Captains Yacht

    and 2. So no real bonus for gold subscribers (cause a Vet reward we would have gotten anyway isn't really a bonus now is it?)

    Yeah this is cool that the one gold Perk we had confirmed is now being given away and they best they can do now is go "Hey this Vet Reward you would have gotten anyway is now your subscriber reward. Cool ya?"

    from the dev blog "purchase a character unlock Vice Admiral or Rear Admiral Romulan Retrofit ship for free"

    If from what ive seen on tribble for the Vice Admiral and Rear admiral that would include a Mogai, D'deridex, Dhelan, and T'varo warbird retrofits.

    So, you caved on the Alien-Hybrid Romulan species.

    Nice to know our vet rewards are being mirrored over to the new faction :D

    Don't suppose we could get some screenshots of the veteran reward ship materials and player costumes?

    Seems good to me, even costume unlocks for vets, that's nice. :)

    I'm a little disappointed that the Liberated Borg Boff doesn't come in a Romulan version though. :(

    well seeing as on Kdf and Fed side the token won't buy any retrofit - just actually the T5 ones that were more or less there at launch I think there will be major restrictions on what ship the rommie token will claim. Would just like to know what they are!

    Indeed. If Cryptic wants to give real incentive for people doing a monthly sub, they need "currently subbed" rewards every month. Not Zen (if all you cared about was the zen, why are you continuing to sub instead of buying it directly?), but something else (maybe 500 free Omega, Romulan, and Nukara Marks every month?) that isn't acquirable any other way.

    Since they haven't actually been designed yet I'm going to guess not. :P

    Consider the Romulan Scout ship form TNG as a Romulan "Captain's Yacht".

    Vice Admiral Ship Token: Players that have been gold subscribers for at least 600-days will receive a single veteran ship token per character that allows the player to purchase a character unlock Vice Admiral or Rear Admiral Romulan Retrofit ship for free. This token is only good for Romulan ships when received on a Romulan Republic character, and the ship will be character locked to the character that selected it.

    You can claim exactly three ships on the Fed side with the token, Galaxy-R, Defiant-R and Intrepid-R. Those versions didn't exist at launch. :o

    Is the "veteran" ship material the "brown" ship material on tribble now?

    Shouldn't we get trait respec tokens along with our skill respec tokens? It woul make more sense with the trait revamp.

    I think that is a standard choice. If the Romulan vet material follows the look of the Fed and KDF materials, it will be some greenish hihglights, similar to the Aegis set visuals (without the glow). :)

    yeah but they were the first 3 'VA' ships weren't they? Others that followed haven't been included. So roms have less restrictions than Fed or KDF.... interesting....

    Those are all marked as not available at launch and scheduled for development. So there are no screens to share at this time :)

    It states in the blog that the Romulan specific unlocks are coming at a future date, so they haven't been made yet.

    It IS all four then? The T'varo, Dhelan, Mogai and D'deridex retrofits? I was just wanting clarification since it's not immediately obvious with the fed and KDF ones what you can actually get. :)
