Hi I was wondering.
After lv50 Federation Romulan char. I Visit the Ship yard and don't see any Federation ships for the Fed Romulans to fly.
From lv10 to lv30 there are Federation ships to buy. But not from lv40 to lv50??
Have for federation Steam packaged and can't use the lv50 Blockade Runner Escort Retrofit
Can use the Blockade Runner Escort but not the last one??
Haven't found any written answer why this is blocked for Lv40/50 fed ships??
Ticket bugged ingame ID: 1,908,962

Can't you just use your Fed Character to use your Fed ships or did they get locked out when you made the Romulan?
What's the point of playing a Romulan to just fly a Federation ship, just make a Fed who looks like a Romulan.
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.
Let's sum it up:
your Federation ships are meant for your Federation characters...it even says so in the description. So Cryptic lets you use the lower level ones as a FREE BONUS on your Romulan characters and you're annoyed because you get a free bonus use out of them?
I think it's time Cryptic reconsiders this policy and removes it altogether when THIS reaction is the result of it and removes the option entirely.
But to extend this to real ships would defeat the point of having any other faction but Romulans.
Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.
If you want to use Starfleet ships, you roll a Fed toon.
If you want to use KDF ships, you roll a KDF toon.
If you want to use Romulan ships, you roll a Romulan/Reman toon.
It just boggles completely the mind for some out there. You can hear fuses popping in people's heads when presented these basic ideas :P
What if I want to use fed ships (at least at endgame), but don't want to play through the fed content, or use the low-level fed ships?
Not that it bugs me in the slightest in terms of RP/story (95% of why I play the game), but as far as leveling/gameplay goes, playing through the tedious fed storyline, especially the early part with the clunky T1 fed ships (worst T1 ever) is a pain and a half.
Then tough.
Life isn't Burger King, you can't always have it your way.
That being said having just got into the D'deridex I'm seriously considering the my T4 Vor'kang until I can get the T5 Romulan ships that I'm happy to fly.
While the DD works well as a Beam boat it looks very wrong.

Then do DOFF missions.
I use the Get the free Steam ships for fed. Did Some testing in the past and used that money to buy those Steam ships for cheap.
They can block Zen Fed ships for only Feds like they did for KDF or Romulan ships.
They made the fed dill ships to lv30 access possible for Romulans.
Why not those lv40 dill ships too.
The Steam sale ships Are not paid with zen, but through Steam.
So why block them.
dknight0001 already explained that: there would be no point in making a Federation or Klingon character any more if the Romulans had access to all the ships of their allies in addition to their own Warbirds.
There is a clear list of all the ships the Romulans can use in this Dev Blog:

Since companies feel the need to put warnings like these on their screwdriver packages
http://epicfails.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/screwdriver-TRIBBLE.jpg
the answer is "Yes".:(
People don't even stop a minute to think and read about what they're doing but rather spend infintely more time on complaining how what happened is not their fault.
I'm horrified that there are warnings like that. Because you know some freak set a precedent by injuring himself doing just that and sued the company.
Than again I've seen a packet of nuts with a warning that the contents contains nuts.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.

As a child I always wondered about the warning in the microwave manual not to dry live animals in it...and when I found out why I was as horrified as I was when I saw that screwdriver warning for the first time.
That's actually for a different reason...at least in the EU where I come from.
There's a rule that food must have an ingredient list so people can avoid them if they're allergic against certain ingredients. My mum for example is allergic against certain members of the E-300 series of antioxidants. The stupid part of that is: there's no redundancy clause in that rule leading to this hilarious result.;)
It's doubly funny when the warning reads "may contain trace amounts of nuts"...nuts indeed.
... And?
Again, if you want to play with Federation, KDF warships, guess what? You need to make Federation, KDF characters and "earn your wings."
I have characters across all groups in this game. Federation, Klingon Empire, KDF-Romulan, Fed-Romulan. I have purchased C-Store & Fleet Ships across these characters. And I don't b**ch and moan about not being able to play allied ships for my Romulan characters. I don't b**ch and moan about my Fed / KDF toons not using Romulan Warbirds.
It makes absolutely no freaking sense whatsoever for the stupid Romulans to use allied ships at any point in time, most especially since the allied groups cannot use Romulan Warbirds anyways. It looks completely stupid, even during level progression. You signed up for the Romulan Navy, brother. Deal with it.
Even during the darkest, most desperate days of the Dominion War, the allied Klingon Empire, Federation, and later Romulan Star Empire were not handing out ships to their allies.
Because there are idiots out there, man.
Contrary to what some believe out there in STO, there are multiple factions in STO and there needs to be clear lines and differences between them.
It's unfortunate that the game since the era of the lock box have been polluted with cross-faction ships... Jem'hadar, Cardassian, Breen, Tholian ships seems like the Federation/Klingon/Romulan alliance already surrender a long time ago with alot of people using those ships instead of KDF/Fed indigenous ships, and well atleast the Romulan players are busy with the Reman Scimitar class to be concern about cross-faction ships at the moment.
I am a Star Trek fan and i will continue to play STO, but i feel this game just fell off and lost it's roots... they called cross-faction ships very rare to get, but when u go around different Sectors/System maps & STF's/PvP's it's not very hard to notice those cross-faction ships are everywhere.
