    So, any details on these Mirror Warbirds, or will we have to wait until someone manages to find and requisition one?

    Also, I liked the Ha'apax's old Boff layout, now I need to see if one of these Mirror ships is more to my liking...

    Probably previews of entirely new Romulan ships, considering the fact they're MU versions... of whatever they are.

    I imagine there's little else to explain the completely new names.

    The C-Store is disabled, so the only way to do it is to copy a character that has both Lock Boxes and Master Keys in their inventory.

    Quite a lot of ship changes..... but of course the poor old D'deridex was unchanged. Don't get me wrong, I like the current Boff Layout, but 3 tac consoles would have been nice.... You copied the Ambassador Boff layout so nicely, why stop there ? I wouldn't mind the same console layout (and turn rate) as well.

    And somehow the only science heavy ship isn't science heavy anymore.....

    Boy, do the Romulans need more ships....

    • Now: 1 Cmdr Tactical, 1 Lt Tactical, 1 LtCmdr Engineering, 1 Ens Science, 1 Lt Universal

    No, no, no, no. You ruined my shopping list! Why did you change the LtCmdr Sci slot for the Mogai/Valdore with the Dhelan?
    Who cares for the Delan. I want my Sci'y Fleet Mogai *breaksoutintears*:(:(:(:(

    I'm actually happy about the Fleet patrol escort style Mogai.

    Now I'll get a Valdore looking fleet mogai refit whith 4 armor slot consoles that will be able to pull its weight in an STF Without blowing to tiny bits.


    However could we temporarily get unlocks for the C-store romulan ships on tribble please so we can test them?
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    You maybe happy but the science layout was alot better imo -_-; why did they have to change the mogai, one of the few ships in the Romulus fleet that can turn and use science well.. My tact sci hybrid is now basically boned.

    Becuase we need another chimera which is a engineering focused destroyer... The layout before was a lot more unique and offered a different experience.

    Not COMPLETELY new...they all start with the Ha'- prefix, like the Ha'apax, so I'm guessing they're variants on that.
