Come on, I'm drowning in Dyson marks easily, and a 12 minute CE which isn't too bad usually gives you like what 60 Nukara marks? How about something equally profitable for Rom Marks? I'd rather do that than the blasted Daily Patrol and maybe Azure Nebula multiple times.

    Mine trap. Learn it, live it, love it.

    You'll drown in Romulan marks and there's no cooldown timer.

    Well instead of implementing new stuff (which is never bad, mind you), the davs could revisit the existing content.
    Like for example New Romulus ground. The rewards there are pathetic (apart from wabbits tagging) and could use a x2 or x3 boost.
    Just compare NR ground with the Dyson battlezone, and you'll start crying. Not only do you get WAY more marks on the BZ, you also get lots of Dilithium on top.

    I like it too but more of than not players avoid because its Ground, and a few bad teams will make the whole exercise a waste of time. We do need equivalent options for Space.

    I'm probably one of the only players who likes both ground AND space combat. Mine Trap is one of my favourite repeatable missions, and I barely care if it goes badly because of the design and pacing of it.

    That said, I fully agree with having the open ground zone get a nice boost in rewards + added dilithium to make it more like the Dyson rep, because I really like the New Romulus ground zone but it sadly isn't effective to do it. The Dyson ground zone is fast-paced on a timer, while the Romulan ground zone allows the player to set their own pace. This makes for a nice change.

    I also agree on having more space STFs and making elite versions! For example, how about a couple of space missions against the Tal Shiar? The Romulans are in / on the brink of civil war anyway. Right now there's two space missions against the Tholians, one space and one ground mission against the Elachi, and that's it.

    I would love more Rom Mrk content also, Daily Patrol has a 20hr CD :(, and Azure is painful for rewards compared to effort, Minetrap is great, if it has enough players...(30min wait one day :eek:), Borg has many STF to gain Mrks, for the big Season 7, you would've thought they would have made lots of ROM stf...but hey..wishfull thinking.

    Some people say the Defend Rh'lhho Station is great for rom marks.

    Maybe a better choice than mine trap, coz it only needs 5 players.

    Choice of marks on the STFs with one of the choices being Romulan marks is my vote !!!!!!

    No one in my fleet likes any of the romulan content its all unpopular. its a grind and once done no one want s to do any more of it............ever

    Romulan content is the worst content in STO
    Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
    Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
    Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse

    How about a really simple change? The Tau Dewa Patrol daily is a good start at 60 marks per day, but let's up the ante a bit.

    Reduce the daily patrol reward, but add 10 marks the first time any Tau Dewa system mission is completed each day, whether it's part of that patrol or not.

    That way, after the patrol is done, and you've earned your whatever + 10 marks x 5 or 6 systems, you can go visit the rest of the systems in Tau Dewa once each for another 10 marks a pop.

    So if you want to just do the patrol and get your 60 or 70 or 80 or whatever the total would end up being, you can. If you're really grinding for something good, like one of the sets, you can go on to visit every system in Tau Dewa and get extra.

    Eppohs. Timewise there is nearly nothing more efficient for marks. 3 Mintues a day (including Transwap to NR, beaming etc.), and in 5-8 days the first epohh is fully grown, making it a maximum of 24 Minutes for 400 Marks. I can only think of 10k+ group STF-ing topping that quota.

    If anything they would just add something with stupid timer and markcap (like Azure), which is neither efficient nor challenging.

    We need an actual Romulan STF. None of the stuff have right now is an STF.

    I would like to see some love to the romulan ground area. The rewards do need to be amped up a bit and i'd like to see the dyson mission auto pickup\reward mechanic installed.

    One option would make some of the red alerts in a wider area like a hirogen or tholian invasion. and get rewarded marks\dilitium as you would in the sphere.

    As for romulan missions, i'd personally like to see the missions involving the gateway moved out of the reputation system and into the main arc. If a player hasnt done the rep before, Sphere of Influence will make little sense.

    Just for fun, I decided to invest some time in getting the Reman shield and Reman Deflector (MK 12) and the Zero Point Module, because a future character may be using them and I wanted to test them out.

    The fun died after my first run of the Vault ship mission.

    The rewards are so pathethically low, I'll spend more time then I'm comfortable with getting the required amounts of marks for these three items!

    I set the space queues to Romulan marks only, I got 4 results and two of them I avoid because I absolutely cannot stand shuttle missions.
    The other marks have more ways to obtain them.


    And do not mention Epohh breeding.
    I really don't like to do that!


    The New Romulus ground missions are well, just so dull.
    Get water samples, pat the Nanov, get rocks and plants, repeat until mission is complete.


    They really need to bring the sources of Romulan marks up to be equvilant with the others.


    Also, another concern I have is that when I find a set I really like (like the Reman set), I make it a point to get another one for my shuttle and/or other ships I may have.

    So I'd have to do this grind all over again at least once!

    Bees like honey, they don't like vinegar.
