Hey Ship Team!
How about you stop ignoring Science now? Make us a Science Warbird that has a Base Turn of 12+ that does not have the size and hitbox of a DREADNAUGHT?

Just based on pure size... I agree.
Admittedly this makes this ship a bit more like some weird hybrid between the Vesta (though not as good) and the Heavy Escort Carrier. It would make it more powerful and more worthwhile but it seems a little silly.

Rest assured, there is a sci ship in the works, it's just that it will be one that has a Cmdr Tactical station, 4 forward weapon slots and no subsystem targeting, that's all.
"So my fun is wrong?"
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.

Do you have a source for this? Personally I love the ar'kif, and I'd be absolutely thrilled if it got a hangar, considering all my other characters fly carriers.
Of course, it doesnt make much sense at all for the ship to get a hangar - it has no place to launch the fighters from, and it's fairly small (as far as romulan standards go, anyways) - but I think the tactical warbird does need at least something to make it stand out and be a little more useful.

As much as i love that idea, i doubt it would happen purely because the scimitar already is powerfull on its own, even without any hangers.

that may be true, but IF the scimitar got a 2nd hanger bay then that would make it so there is a 2 hanger carrier (that is what i call it) for each faction (atrox for feds, Karfi/vo'quv for KDF, and IF DONE Scimitar for Roms) at T5.
I find this line of replies sadly hilarious. We put a lot of work into the massive list of fixes/changes above, and ya'll are hung up on the ability to skip our content. =p
+1 base turn rate
+1500 base hull
+ battle cloak
+singularity abilities
+1 ensign engeneering
+ 2 piece plasma set
-1 ensign tactical
-40 power
another ship outclassing its counterpart, give them 3 more month and we have romulans online
Almost correct:
The Armitage has got 32,000 base-hull (according to the C-Store information), so it is:
- 500 base hull
And the Armitage has a fixed Lt. Cmdr. Engineering, the Ar'Kif has got a universal Lt. Cmdr. .
The Singularity-Abilities are a nice toy, but using them costs you all you Power-Bonuses from the Singularity Core, they are only a "oh ****"-button or a little burst-damage.
And don't forget, there is a Fleet Armitage, but there is no Fleet Ar'Kif yet (and it is not announced).
EDIT:
"oh ****"-button == Emergency-Button

have you flown a warbird??
Sing Jump = equivalent to Grav Well 3 but include an accuracy debuff and doesn't require skilling and a commander boff slot to use
Absorbtion = equivalent to miracle worker, an engineer has to pay one of its captain powers for this
shadows - equivalent to jam sensors which again doesnt require a boff slot and skilling to work effectively
i like the idea of it getting a hangar now it splits it apart from the other ships as without the hangar all the other warbirds were better at their jobs and outperformed it

the tact warbird was a little underwhelming hence an upgrade. The scimitar is just about the most powerfully offensive ship in the whole game. why does it need a second hangar just because a random ship gets a buff?

Does that not mean that the pure carriers with "only" 6 weapon slots like the Vo'quv and Atrox should get 3 or 4 to compensate?
The Scimitar is currently one of the highest DPS ships in the game.
Why does it need an extra Hanger? And let's remember that the Scimitar has a Frigate level Hanger on what can be compared to a Flight Deck Cruiser.
Every other Half Carrier is limited to Fighters, Full Carriers are limited to 6 weapons.
The Scimitar family are currently some of the best ships in the game they do not need a Buff.
I was once DKnight1000, apparently I had taken my own name so now I'm DKnight0001. 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.
Well, now we just need mid-size Romulan Hangar-Pets.
If you play a FED-allied Romulan, you should be able to use Runabouts or Delta-Flyers on the Ar'Kif now. As a KDF-allied Romulan, you can't, because the KDF hasn't got mid-sized Hangar-Pets. And no, Brandon allready told in the maintenance-thread, that the Droneships won't be able to launch from the Ar'Kif.
So I would be stuck on Tholian Widows or Scorpions to use on that ship. That's my reason to not buy it at the moment - and the fact that there's currently no Fleet-Version of the Ar'Kif.
I'd suggest the Kestrel as a Romulan Hangar-Pet, the models are already in the game, so it's just copy&paste of the Danube class and switching the model.

Marauding Forces may be useless, but they do exist.
___________________________ The day will not save them. And we own the night.
We should get the kestrel and that smaller romulan shuttle (the one you get partway through the story line) as hangar pet options. The scorpion is a reman design, and doesnt fit the ar'kif very well IMO. I dont want to have to use fed ships since I'm not a federation member species or a starfleet officer - I'm a romulan in a romulan ship with a romulan crew using romulan technology, give me romulan fighters! =P
It's getting a hangar, the Rip-Off Beam has a 20-second burst VS the Vesta's 12, and it has a stacking debuff that makes the beam hit harder.
The stacking debuff was removed in favor of just incrementing damage of the beam over time, and the description wasn't updated yet when it first hit Tribble.
Marauding Forces may be useless, but they do exist.
They don't exist for KDF-Roms, as those require the T5 Marauder to claim, and we can only use up to T4 ships. I suppose Tachyon Drones might count, as those launch in sets of two, though.
2 weeks ago the Ar'Kif got a hangar, can we expect more changes for Ar'Kif this week?
-> Will we see a new Romulan Hangar Pet or maybe a few different Romulan Hangar Pets?
-> Will we see a Fleet Ar'Kif?
-> Will we see change in the Boff-Layout (maybe a Lieutenant Universal Station now)?

It'll never happen, but id really like to see a commander engineer (or uni) boff slot on it. The bonus to plasma damage from the arkifs set works with eject warp plasma, and it would be an interesting build running two copies of that on this warbird.
at the very least, it should have the ensign engineer made a lt engineer so players aren't forced into using their so-called "universal" slot for vital engineering skills. A setup like the Armitage wouldn't be bad either.

Fleet Ar'Kif will likely be coming shorty before or right at the start of season 8 along with a fair number of other fleet ships spread across the factions (Fleet Kar'fi, Atrox, and vet ships are showing up in toolips on Tribble Test Server).
There sees to be desire for more dedicated Rom hangars, and hangars seem to be a decent money-maker, so I could see Cryptic making this happen, though I'd doubt it'd be as soon as Thursday.

So, it seems like Cryptic returned to their previous "we love the Federation"-state (release of the new Avenger Class and Fleet Avenger Class) and won't be releasing any new Romulan or KDF Ships along with their Fleet-Variant.
The Fleet Ar'Kif is currently the only Romulan Ship I'm waiting for, and I think a few other players will be waiting for it, too. (I think the Fleet-Version can be called "an upgrade", so I chose to keep this thread alive.)
In my case that's Cryptics loss, there are currently only 3 Romulan C-Store Ships I didn't buy so far, the 2 D'deridex Variants (without any new shiny Cruiser-Commands, I won't buy them) and the Mogai Retrofit.

Youtuber Yuzral showed a vid in which he was able to get over 50,000 damage with the beam alone.

1) Why does every new ship nowadays need a hangar bay? Because we don't have enough spam going on?
2) Why does every Romulan ship need to be an analog to a different ship, only slightly more powerful?
Stuff like that, I just don't get it. I truly don't.

It's mainly sunfranck's fault. He said he's buy it if it had a hangar.
