Romulan Temporal Vessels...no Singularity?

This is...odd.
Okay...the two new Romulan temporal vessels do not come with Singularity cores -- they come with Matter/Anti-Matter cores.
Also...be aware that none of the warbird consoles will work with these vessels.
Bug? Or working as intended?

Its intended, and its very sad. No singularity and no CLOAK!
Just saved me alot of real word $$! Thanx Cryptic
Maybe that's the future result of being allied with Feds or KDF. The Rommies assimilate their allies' tech and throw away theirs...:P
What the heck?
I could do with out the cloak if it could still use Romulan consoles and singularity core.
I might still keep an eye out for it, but my WANT on it is lower.
Still want D'deridex/D'ridthau options for the Adapted Battle Cruiser and the having the D'Kyr would be nice
News flash:
They are the same ships, with faction specific skins. This was known some time ago.
Its appropriated tech anyway but I think part of the issue for some is no VA level Sci warbird. Not yet anyway. The guardian is ok but its RA.
The Ferengi D'Kora doesn't gain Singularity Cores or Cloaking deviced when used by a Romulan, Nor does any of the other Lockbox Ships.
I am sure they will release a Romulan Science Vessel 3 Pack, with 10 Console slots, Battle Cloak and a Console for each variant. I'd be very grateful if they released a Klingon Science Vessel with Cloak (prefer Battle Cloak) 9 Console slots, a Console and a Fleet variant. Look at how different the Expectations are. Oh and I expect when ever a new ship is released for KDF or Romulans the Federation to complain bitterly about being ignored. Like they did with the Scimitar.
@the1tigglet
These are Lockbox/Lobi ships that players sell on the exchange not EC ships. You need to understand the Exchange is a player controlled market. The Zen Store, Dilithium Store, Fleet Store and Rep Stores are the Cryptic controlled markets.
They changed all the EC ships in the game to Dilithium with the exception of the Runabout.
My Klingon has every Tier 5 ship available at L40 because they used to cost EC.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
KDF really needs some new ships but looks like the RR is their new cash crop...I know making a new ship takes time and they were taking the time to deliver on all of the Romulan ships they promised.
Since it seems the Scimitar is the *flagship* of the Republic they have no more Romulan ships promised to deliver on. So crossing my fingers the KDF will get some love!
I'm a little disappointed it doesn't have singularity core either no cloak understandable but no singularity core... oh well
Well that's what I thought till I read this which only came out about a week ago...

The argument is over, it was stated on TWITTER by Cpt Gecko, the Scimitar IS THE FLAGSHIP
There is one more known romulan ship that hasn't been released: a t4 tac warbird, presumably with refit, retrofit, and fleet versions
Geko mentioned it in a recent priority one podcast.
you do know once lvl cap increase new ships coming right... all other ships will be how can I say forgotten and they make more money on selling more ships
As it stands at Level 50 your an Admiral, what are they going to promote you too?
Developers have also said there is no good reason to raise the level cap and this games end game is quite sparse so leveling up again, invalidating all those paid for ships... I don't see it happening the backlash would see people quitting in droves.
They've already blown the obvious chance to increase the level cap with the release of LoR.
I just don't see it happening.
Sorry about the Off topic

President of the UFP. :P
I know I'm upset too, they said it was going to be the lleiset class which means freedom in rihan.
On what Goki said...there aren't going to be t6 ships unless you can upgrade t5 ships to t6...to many people spent to much money on c-store ships to see them replaced...its bad enough when you own something like the LSVR and see the Vesta come out.
Do you really think cryptic is going to take the chance to cook the golden goose and shoot themselves in the foot?
It does say in the descriptions that these are gutted husks fitted with present day tech so yeah they are for all but the look and a 3 set, just looks
Not happening, why? becuase an Admiral is you Mission giver, you can;t outrank the guys giving you orders, thats why almost all games keep you at least one rank below the quest/mission givers so they hold some kind of in game canon authority over you
And besides, Admiral and up is a vacancy driven promotion, you can't have evrybody being Fleet admials
I wouldn;t mind as long as there is a method by which my Fleet Assault cruiser can be upped to Whatever the T6 may be ( if implimented ) , be that a purchase that adds consoles, Boff slots, Weapon slots or a change to shield and hull modifiers
More weapons...balance is bad enough now but could you imagine more weapons? How would a cruiser work 5/5? 4/4 with beams are hard to work and require skill to keep all of the power drain from making it a dps loss...everyone hates torpedos and being slower than everything else makes it hard to make torpedos work.
Do you make escorts 5/4 or 5/3...would sci be 4/4 then? Moving to tier 6 would open so many cans of worms if it were to pass...we really don't need it. I don't remember if it was here or in another thread someone said as mmo's progress they don't get more and more slots at endgame...they get better gear.
Making Mk XIII, XIV, and maybe XV gear would be much easier to do and less problematic than making t6 ships.
I know its a wild guess but if I had to guess one of the reasons why they're looking for console ideas on twitter is because unique consoles are one of the few things they can do to make a ship unique. Lets face it there is only so many Boff combinations you can do without going completely crazy. Feds especially suffer from this since they have so many more ships that fit so many sub roles within the main roles.
Unique and cool(Not specifically OP) consoles would be a way to set ships apart even if they had similar or identical boff setups.
Its a fair point, but you encounter the same issue with gear, take Adapted MACO mkXII, i had to buy 6 MkXII things through rep store to get that full set, if they make a MkXIII will i have to buy another 6?
My backing would go behind the multiple ship command system, as this would give you more firepower, AND, make old ships more used, how many of us have something expensive we aren't using because we got a new toy?
It's Geko. What did you expect? This is the same idi... erm PERSON... that thinks beams are WaD, saw being asked if beam energy drain could be reduced is said person asking if beams can become as powerful as cannons, and also thinks that Power Insulators reduce weapon power drain. Need more be said?
As for the on-topic comment:
None of those 6 ships are unique. They are all identical to each other ship with that designation, merely a new skin and new ship tag. So instead of 6 unique ships, you have two unique ships each with 3 different skins and 7 different ship designators (USS, ISS, AKS, IKS, IRW, RRW, ARW).
Thats how MMO's go...you build shiny gear...you move to the next raid and build even better gear...do that a few more times and then you get new levels and soon that gear is obsolete.
Making Mk XII gear obsolete is better option than ships that people payed for obsolete...
Would it really make old ships used? Maybe if someone doesn't own any c-store ships...or if they put in a unique system that requires older ships.
I agree. We need more balance with what we already have.
Being desperate to make money makes people do crazy things. I personally have brought a couple of zen ships (my most current being the Atrox). With every new "shiny thing" they have an opportunity to make money.
That's a great idea, but what "new things" will we get when we upgrade the ship? I'd hate to see Tier 6 ships have the same issues and redundancy as the Tier 5 ships.
That would still be a pretty massive middle finger to owners of the sets , or those who bought stuff on exchange for millions of EC , but you can't please anyone i guess
I would imagine that if any ability to have a 'follower' ship comes in, it would probably limit it so your second ship can't be the same type as your primary, as in you can't double up on escorts becuase of the overwhelming firepower, and you can't double up on Cruisers as you could tank until oblivion
Such a system would get me to actually use one my escorts, currently they are sat in some great big starbase mothball yard not being used
