Love the Rommie Vet ship

wildmousex

It's sleak, it's sexy, and it's deadly! without a single change from my Dhelan load out (cept of course for the loss of the sabotage device that is, small sacrifice). - some of your finest work.

Ya, I agree, the design on this romulan veteran ship is amazing.

I run the full plasma build, 4x MK XII plasma tac consoles, accx2 dmgx2 fleet plasma dual heavy cannons, romulan plasma torpedo with romulan energy harness set, fleet embassy plasma dmg console, etc..

Its fun poppin Alpha 3 and using the plasma lotus too, stuff just blows up , haha.

I was upset at first because its only 9 console ship, but my mind changed quick. Its very fun to fly, and if built with plasma to compliment to the plasma lotus, it kicks butt.

My stats are with Maco MK XII:

Hull - 47,260
Shield - 9.085
Forward Weapon DPS (each weapon) esd space - 1,464

Good job on this Cryptic.

Beautiful looking ship, and even though I like the other cryptic designs, this is the first one that felt classic romulan.

also the vet skin is rather sexy and is going well on my d'deridex at the moment.

ok so I think I borked something in STO with how I use this ship - I took it into PvP and tied for first with 8 kills and 0 death's. second in damage and healing by only a little bit.

I normally only do PVE, but testing this thing out in the STF's wasn't allowing me time to practice a run through of my abilities before everything around me blew up. So I went into a capture and hold with the cruddy build I threw together while leveling this toon.

problem is, everything about the set-up is backwards to what PvP experts say it should be.. I wanted to have options in my fights, so she flies a mix of beams, cannons, and torps. - I have had my sub since pre-launch, so stipends have bought me all sort's of goodies that take up precious console slot's, so only one damage boosting console - and only 9 console slots to begin with (One of which is being taken by the "worthless" automated defence turret.) - and finally, I'm still repping for MK XII weapons, so she's got some MK XI and MK X mixed in as well.

I normally don't post my builds, but it is bat TRIBBLE crazy how good the ship is - it can cover up for a mess like this.

So.... if you have almost 10 KO's under your belt, and no deaths to speak of yet, how is something "borked" here?
So what if you aren't using the exact loadouts the so-called PvP "experts" are? If you're kicking butt and taking names, why listen to these chumps? Just have fun and keep at it.

I can't seem to let go of my Fleet T'varo, but the new Vet Skin is very nice.

Hah I know what you mean Wildmouse. Ran into you in a pug Cure Elite last night and, boy, was that a fiasco. Could barely keep the raptors off of Kang. I don't know what they did, either the Borg got tougher, or the general community of players that do pug STFs have gotten even stupider. Speaking of Scimitars, are they hard to hold up? Because last night, not only did I fail Khitomer Space Elite for the first time. ever. but I also witnessed a Scimitar die FIVE TIMES during an Infected Elite run. Zheesh.

yeah I was still playing around with my skill set up while we were in that Pug, so I was in and out of that fight a few times, sry. - most of the rest of that group didn't even seem to know the kang was there. we kept her alive, just missed the timer by 30 seconds or something if I remember.( I blowed up a couple of times in there myself, but mostly because I was changing something around and not watching my shields/hull.) - that was the run that made me go to PvP, the damn Negh'vars would blow up too quick.

not sure about the Scimies, I have seen people post threads about having problems keeping her alive, but haven't flown one myself.

phadren

I as well really like the Rom Vet ship, well done Cryptic.

thecosmic1

It looks pretty. I haven't had a chance to use mine yet. Looking forward to using it once Cryptic fixes my Stipend and I play again.

I'm so sorry that your build left you in a 8-0 winning streak..... I will ask the powers to be to help you overcome your wins.

I fly this ship, and love it. My ONE AND ONLY disappointment is the fact it cannot use the I.R.W. prefix. All my other ships contain that particular prefix due to my char being "RP'd" as a Tal Shiar agent. Plus I prefer the way I.R.W. Shi'hal sounds to R.R.W. Shi'hal.

it doesn't look all that bad on the mirror cruiser either - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/189/ga8q.jpg/

Yeah she is a lovely ship, too bad I will be going back to my Fleet T'Varo that has 10 consoles and a far better shield modifier...

the1tigglet

I too was pleasantly surprised when I saw this thing especially when in tactical mode it's very visually pleasing. I love the little warp engine flipper on the bottom when going to warp, wish I could see my engines move on my klingon and fed variants tho.

The thing that impressed me was where the shots come from on the ship especially when dealing with torpedos.

Yeah, its a pity that we almost never get to see the nifty warp out animations on these ships since the Devs have never bothered to fix the camera position.

hunteralpha84

Its a gorgeous looking ship. I'd love to use the fed version but I don't like the pelican look its got. Tactical mode helps but then the saucer section looks stupid
