    There is an entire mission on board a Scimitar in the Romulan story, yet it was not used in the player ship.

    did you notice in that mission that even the romulan wouldnt recognize you as a romulan??? ::sigh:; oh well..

    Considering all the great stuff romulans got I must say I was shocked that the Scimitar got no interior!! Not only that it has no captains office or trophy room! All it has is a lame after you see it once - thaloron generator room. It is really one of the most lame interiors for a flagship in the game. Not that I have been there more than once - just saying.

    Well, in all fairness, the Scimitar is not a flagship.. Its just a big battleship.. Our flagships are the Oddyssey and Bortesqu as we arent a real faction.. Thats just the way it is..

    you see the RR flagship at the end of SoI, and its a scimitar, so therefore the scimitar is the Romulan Republic Flagship (since Rom players cant use the oddy or bort.)

    I think the biggest problem, for me anyways, is that I mothballed my FED to create my Romulan main. I did not do it for advantages. Anything that hints at the idea that I may want to switch back to FED main is scary. I do not criticise the new interiors, to the contrary. But, please, don't make me want to start over again! A new tutorial, enhanced cruisers and science vessels, the best interiors got better, wow.

    The Romulan flagship was seen in the new FW, and it is a Scimitar (variant)!
    That is not the case, the Scimitar is more like a lockbox ship. I was very disappointed it did not get the normal Romulan interior.
    You know what, that is kind of crappy. They should have at least hooked it up to the default interior. Even though there would have been just as much howling on the forums because it doesn't match what little of the interior we saw in Nemesis.

    The funny thing is, they reproduced the bridge from the film quite faithfully, which normally people demand 'round these parts...

    I do think the fact that no Romulan interiors have trophy rooms is a complete travesty.
    You're right. The work here is very important.

I admit my jealousy openly, but this isnt about my jealousy. its about the amazing work that they put into this new interior.. period.

    Ahhh yeah give us Fed's everything, considering we have a reject faction and now a half-breed faction... yep it's good to be the majority in this game :D

    Did you not do the New featured episode? Perhaps I am wrong but I thought in the final battle it was established as the flagship?

    Damn you cryptic I will not add one more ship to 35 C-store ships and shuttles until this injustice is dealt with!!

    Lack of a trophy room aside, I would argue that the Romulan interiors have been the best interiors, hands down, since LoR came out. The older Fed and KDF interiors are...less than impressive.

    I'd argue against that... there is one Romulan interior, with no variant bridges and no way to display your trophies and no crew contacts. You have to stand at a console if you want to do the Chef or Bartender assignment chains, for example, and can't interact with anyone on the Mail Level. That one bridge and ship interior is also identical on both the T'Varo and D'Deridex; that's just kinda weird.

    There is also that one Scimitar interior. Two rooms, rather plain, with a spiraley/glowey lava lamp in taking up the back. Unless you want to get stoned and stare at the Thalarons, there isn't much to impress. Personally not my thing.

    The carrier isnt romulan. it uses a warp core so it cant be romulan. I dont know what it is though, beyond big and powerful as hell..

    no one said the carrier was romulan, we are referring to the NAMED falchion class dreadnought warbird that shows up in the end fight. THAT is the romulan Flagship.

    That is not what I ment - at the end the romulan scimitar flagship commanded by so girl warps in with the Enterprise and Borta to assit. You should play it again or watch a YouTube video. But still not having an interior attached or captains office is pretty lame.

    Agree to disagree. I would personally rather see the Feds and KDF have fewer variants with a nicer overall product than the many variants, most of which don't look great that exist now.

    The Romulan interior could definitely use a proper lounge with a trophy area, I won't argue with you there.

    As for the Scimitar bridge...well, it's pretty screen accurate, even if it doesn't look nice. I just think they should plug it into the default Romulan interior.

    That reads pretty much exactly like a complaint to me.

    Sorry, but your original post coupled with the title read exactly like sarcasm and complaining. Note that I do not use the words 'scream', 'cry', 'whine', or any form of those. But the complaining is self-evident.

    If you want to praise the Devs' work, then praise them. Working in blame for the Federation faction just sours the whole topic, as it has done.

    If they revamped Fed interiors, that means they got new tech and new ways to assemble a map. It's entirely possible that they will also eventually revisit KDF and Romulan interiors to perform some of the same miracles. I wouldn't hold my breath on it, but it's now a possibility that didn't exist before.

    There's a pretty detailed ship interior with hallways on the feddie ship the Klingons board, and make their way to the bridge where they beat some info out of the fed captain. It's in the KDF'Fed war arc IIRC.

    yes, beat up the sniviling Captain of the DeWitt fr info to get to attack mars..... then for good measure blow up the ship so he cant tell the federation your coming.

    It's an understandable reaction, though. Nobody can argue that the Federation got the most attention when it came to creating game assets. I fully understand the frustration, especially from the KDF.

    But I do agree that it's counter-productive to rail at Cryptic for the stuff they chose to create and the order in which they did it. They've got to do what's best for the game as a whole.

    I'm more excited about the modular hallways than anything else and hoping that makes its' way into the Foundry.

    You conveniently forget to say the interior and bridge comes from the revamped fed tutorial, and thus, is just a rip off from the tutorial, given to player. A revamp for a 3+years old tutorial, that was extremly bad compared to the brand new KDF and rom tutorial.

    It was also asked a lot.

    But then, you also conveniently forget to make a topic when they created the Klingon missiong lvl, the whole rom faction, and are now adding Worf/Michael Dorn voice over for KDF.

    I wouldn't argue over a Fed new ship, but this ? Lol.

    I will reserve final judgement until i actually see the bridge and walk the hallways.

    It looks very nice and shiny, But ill bet you its way off scale as usual, i dould care less about shiny than i would a more proper scale.

    Defiant bridge is the size of a galaxy bridge, the cruiser bridges are bigger than ops in DS9.
    Hallways and corridors are wider AND taller than they have any right to be, the SMALL interiors are too big, The large interiors you could pilot a type - 21 shuttle through!

    A sense of scale would be better served....

    What I find incomprehensible is why the Devs don't just stick a turbolift into ships like the Romulan dreadnoughts, Andorian vessels, etc, and just have them connect to the typical interiors of the rest of the ships for that particular faction. It seems like the easiest solution involving the least amount of work and time.

    But I still want some options for Romulan ships. How many bridges are there for Fed ships and Klingon ships? Well, more than ONE, which is all the Romulan ships get. Give me Di'on Charvon's D7 interior (not just the bridge) from "The Enterprise Incident." It is essentially nothing but the TOS Connie interior with different color and lighting, so it also shouldn't require much time or work to code. And before anyone assumes I don't know what I'm talking about, I've done coding and I know both how hard and time-consuming it can be, and also how easy and quick it can be (particularly when you're just copy-pasting chunks of code and/or changing colors).

    I'd say romulan ship interiors got the most attention. after all, when people visit the ship's lounge on a romulan ship they can have a seat anywhere or sit at the bar, on fed ships the only chairs that are usable are the ones on the bridge, the ship's lounge has no seating at the bar at all and the seats they do have in the lounge are not usable.

    Romulan ship interiors are nice but I would like a trophy case somewhere. I also think the complaints about the Scimitar are fair.

    Who's to say at some point in the future, there won't be opportunity for the Devs/Art team to create beautiful interiors for the Scimitar? They added these as part of revamping the FED tutorial. A future FE may take place aboard a Scimitar.

    Have to say, the screen shots of the new interiors look beautiful. The bridge seems to still be cathedral sized, but is very nice.

    P.S. I bought the Scimitar too.

    I've played through the new intro for Feds on Tribble.


    First let me say, VERY WELL DONE.



    Next, the Origin bridge only looks huge. It's not really much bigger than the current bridge (square footage) and far smaller than the Aquarius (Odyssey) bridge.


    The new interior halls are fantastic and I really hope they remain part of the ship interior maps (They seem to default to the old halls after the required interior portion of the tutorial).
