Romulans get 9 traits

Humans get 8 traits


Cryptic isnt this backwards ?

Giving the strongest faction in the game Moar power !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Romulans alreasy get 5 SRO's thats 7.5% more crit chance

Singularity cores with all the benifits of Fed and klingon cores plus the 5 extra powers

Double Free duty officers......and a higher chance to crit on those officers as well

The strongest highest DPS ships in the game

The broke valdore console you wont fix ......60k dps scimitars

And now 9 traits ?

klingon and feds should get 12 traits and even that wouldnt begin to balence the factions

I have 6 romulan characters .......For pete's sake
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    You do realize, that singularity cores provide 40 power less than matter/antimatter-warpcores, right? Heck, my set choices as a Romulan are 90% about countering my abysmal power levels.

    You said more power than the other, and yet you use powers to accomplish that. Explain your magic to me.


    I would gladly trade my singularity core for an AM core, anytime. More bonus, no gimmick powers, and no penalty whatsoever.

    Humans and Romulans both have 8 traits. Only aliens get 9.

    plasmonic leach and maco shield don't stack so don't use both together.

    Space Lawer ?

    More powerful....more DPS

    They are exactly the same.
    +10% increse to base resistance rate of all power levels
    +66% increase to base regeneration rate of all power levels

    +3.3% all damage for each subsystem with 75 or more power

    Then, the singularity core have a bonus to one of the singularity power, and AM core have a 7.5% of one of the power level added to another one as bonus power.

    Pretty much the same. Except 75 power level is easier to have with an AM core over singularity core, because there is no penalty. Also, the 7.5% bonus helps.

    So yeah, I still think AM>singularity core.

    If it was the first time since S9 that you used those toons and/or you never went to a different zone, weird things can happen like my Reman toon having 3 Operative traits. Once I zoned to a ground map it fixed it.

    Gets into the discussion of the various Species Traits. Some have one, some have two, some have two halves, some have a Superior one, etc, etc, etc...and the Alien having the option to select nearly whatever outside of Career/Species restricted Traits.

    And whether the Species Traits are balanced, eh?
