first off, memory alpha quote! (These warbirds were roughly twice as long as a Federation Galaxy-class starship with a lower overall maximum speed.) Andrew Probert tells us that the actual design length is 1353m.
this essentially means that it should handle comparable to an atrox as that would be fitting for this description. while it may be classified as a warbird it has been referenced as a cruiser on multiple occasions and if they have been watching the show over they too surely caught those rare few moments so its not going to be friendly toward tactical or sci based players. after all its the romulan counterpart to the galaxy in that time period.
i agree that cloaking cooldowns need to be fixed its simply annoying waiting for it to recharge that long. if they agree to decrease cooldown im betting they will take into account that the singularity cores also increase chance of detection and make a passive skill adjustment to implement this detail.
edit- this essentially sums up to being that the only changes the d'deridex is possible even more nerf's. it sucks but i still dont mind flying the old bird around as my main since im an engineer nutcase. guess the only other ship i would really sign my soul over to is the reman scimitar which will end up being even worse on turns but i pray they keep the shielded while cloak is active feature.
If it wasnt for testing i would not be flying this monstrosity since the cloak nerf its hard to use the D'deridex or ha'apax i just got done with a 10 minute fight with a ...galaxy class becuase i couldnt turn fast enough to kill it.
And the cloak was so slow in CD that it wasnt even practicle to use and its a bad thing when a galaxy class is out turning you and you must rely solely on armor and aft weapons.
So now i have to say using the D'deridex or ha'apax is for those who like to be shot at and be a sitting duck those two ships fly like bathtubs and turn like them to.
Please Cryptic reverse the nerf if you dont then both the D'deridex and ha'apax are not even a viable option as a useable ship.
Tbh, with the latest RCS, impulse truster, EPtE changes I fail to see how it is hard for you to fly that thing, especially with that insane turn buff while cloaked. Yes, it is not escort, but seriously 13+ turn is enough for "enjoyable" maneuvering, 20+ is enough to aim dual cannons.
Maybe you just aren't used to it. Because Galaxy pilots on holodeck are actually turning worse than D'Deridexes on tribble.
"Cryptic Studio’s Jack Emmert (2010): Microtransactions are the biggest bunch of nonsense. I like paying one fee and not worrying about it – like my cellphone. The world’s biggest MMO isn’t item based, even though the black market item GDP is bigger than Russia … microtransactions make me want to die.”
People complain about the handling of the D'Deridex, really dosen't seem much different to the other big ships, the Federtion Dreadnought Cruiser can use cannons and thats also a massive space brick. I think people need to remember that the the D'Deridex is supposed to be a MASSIVE ship.
