    I'm confused.

    Romulan Tactical Warbirds...coming?

    WTF are all the Warbirds that are there now?

    T'varo - Cmdr Tac
    Dhelan - Cmdr Tac
    Mogai - Cmdr Tac
    Ha'feh - Cmdr Tac
    Scimitar - Cmdr Tac
    Falchion - Cmdr Tac
    Tulwar - Cmdr Tac
    Daeinos - Cmdr Tac
    Talvath - Cmdr Tac
    D'deridex - LCdr Tac
    Ha'apax - LCdr Uni
    Haakona - LCdr Uni
    R'Mor - LCdr Uni
    Ha'nom - Lt Tac

    I have to admit, I did a double take when I saw "Tactical Warbirds Coming". Coming?? :P

    I have to say though...


    That thing looks great. I love the DDeridex inspired profile, on something that will not be slow or fat, or wierdly BOFFd (hopefully).

    Each Romulan Wing Cannon can slot its own 5 BOFFs and 5 DOFFs, giving the captain 15 BOFFs and 15 DOFFs. ;)

    Oh yeah, while different folks will think differently about how different ships look - it looks pretty damn sweet to me.

    As someone else said on another thread, this is most likely a T4 or less ship with quad plasma cannons, since that is the only ship they have ever talked about for the romulans recently that hasn't come out yet. Probably a fleet version, but nothing more. I'm waiting for this carrier.

    Stop bringing logic into the thread..

    'sides.. Who would want to use Plasma Quad cannons anyway? :P

    T4 Refit, T5 Retrofit, and T5 Fleet...

    No free option at T4...if folks don't want to fly the D'deridex, they can pay for it.

    Hrmmm...

    Almost looks like something out of Armada 2. Very sleek and dangerous looking the way a Romulan ship should look. Just needs a giant raptor decal on the bottom :)

    Exactly. It's what I would do, anyway.

    After the Dhelan and Mogai, that D'deridex is a shock. Giving people a way out, well... Here there be profits.

    OMG! finally, a warbird for us tacs! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:


    here's what we know-

    tier 4 'refit' with plasma quad cannons. cause going from a mogai to a d'deridex suxxxxxx

    gecko said its a pure escort


    whats without a shadow of a doubt-

    a tier 5 fleet version


    whats somewhat likely-

    a c store tier 5 retrofit. but then that would need its own unique console or some special thing. so i almost think a tier 5 c store will be skipped.



    im thinking defiant stat clone with battle cloak. i find it highly unlikely that it will have 5 forward weapons. if it does, well its proboly time to just delete my kdf and fed characters.

    The probelm rises with the romulans getting their own Plasma Quad Cannons, is that you can then claim a Tier 4 Defiant (Fed sided) or The BoP Equivilant (Klingon Sided) and then have Both versions of the Quad Cannons. So you could use the Plasma Quad Cannons + Disruptor or Phaser Quad cannons..

    ACtually.. on second though.. go ahead and do that.. Enjoy having 0 Engine power when ever you fire. :P

    If it is a defiant clone, it will basically be a failure.

    Which would be sad, because that artwork is really nice.

    STOwiki's actually got a somewhat nifty page on the Warbirds: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Warbird

    It would be one of those things of looking there to see what might be missing, eh?

    Honestly, at this point, they could clone the Fleet Ha'feh and give it to me in a non-humongofugly ship model.

    LoL! that's what I said in chat when I heard about them!

    Except I think they also add hull and shields to the base Kumaris, THEN slap a BC and singularity powers on top.

    That thing looks so badass it almost makes me want to create a Romulan toon... but then all the rep grinds come to mind and the feeling goes away all of the sudden...
