ROMULAN D7 CRUISER (TOS Enterprise Incident)

Hi, the ship designers of STO could add this Klingon design ROMULAN D7 TOS CRUISER (design included in the TOS episode "The Enterprise Incident"

Since the announcement of the Romulan Republic faction, was wondering if they will add a Romulan Version of the D7. A good idea would be to make one that will include all the ship costume for the Klingon version but will also have a costume that looks more Romulan that can only be used by RR players. It should also have Singularity Abilities like Warbirds

Well, some like the idea and some think it makes no sense given the era.
The pros that I know of can be condensed to:

-the D7s were left in service for colony defense and upgraded over time in local yards
-after the damage of the Hobus event the Romulan Republic tried to get all the ships it can running

cons:
-it's been 140 years and the ships have ben scrapped
-the Romulans had enough time to build their own fleet and didn't maintain these buckets

I think both have merit even though I personally think the Romulans would not have thrown away a bunch of decent ships.

Anyway there's a somewhat more extensive discussion here:

and it also features a couple of ideas what an upgraded D7 might look like in post#8 including my own proposal

I would like a D7 as I am using a TOS uniform for my characters however I think like the TOS BOP I use they will not make it a T5 ship

Welll, I remember doing the time travel thing on my fed character where you go back into the past and save the enterprise and kirk, et al, and I could swear those D7's were downright nasty characters, making any modern Klingon stuff look sad in comparison.

As for the BOP, We dont have the K'Vort, which is basically a giant B'rel which came about when in Star Trek III, the BOP was almost as big as the enterprise and bigger than the freighter it destroyed.. THAT could make one deadly ship..
