KDF ROM Can't Buy KDF Carrier

So, I'm KDF ROM and I'm in the ship store. I see something quite odd.

I can buy almost any KDF ship, except the KDF carriers. Have KDF ROM every been able to buy and fly the KDF carriers or is this something new?

Any suggestions? I have a Jem Hadar Dred Carrier that I love, except I'm just so tired of the little fighters getting blapped every second. What I'm trying to do is buy a carrier that can field the frigate size ships.

I already have the Tholian Carrier on my sci character and love it for sci, but not for my tactical KDF ROM. Thanks.

    Romulans do not have access to the T5 ships of their allies.

    Oh...

    Yes, I know I can go with a Scimitar and the frigate drones. I have the Scimitar on my ENG character and am not looking to fly another at this time. Thanks to my wife for this suggestion.

    Darn, that is what I was afraid of.

    Is there any way to use any frigate on the Jem Hadar Dred Carrier besides the Jem Hadar frigates? They are so expensive.

    There is not. Frigates are all tied to specific carriers. Jem Dreads get the bug ships, Vo'Quv get BoP, the Kar'Fi gets Fer'Jai frigates.

    And they all cost the same insofar as purchase price itself- the Jem'Hadar frigates' real expense over the others is having to own a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship to unlock them so you can buy them at all.

    Yes. at all. Thank you for the assistance. I just visited the KDF shipyard and tried to buy a frigate pet...any frigate pet. No luck at all. We live and learn. I should have created a KDF TAC instead of a KDF ROM.

    Thought I was getting the best of both worlds.

    Unless it has been changed since last year, it is misleading when Romulans get to pick which faction they want to side with. When I got each of my Romulans to the point of deciding which one to choose, it says that you can use their ships. It doesn't say that after you get to a certain point, you can't get the higher tier ships.

    However, they are still fun to play with.

    I remember reading something about it when i created my rommi toon. But i cant remember where. But i already knew that i will not be able to pilot klingon T5 ships.

    In beta we had the option of our allies tier 5 ships but, loads of people said that was unfair to the feds an klinks, so they took that option away. In all fairness it would be a slap in the face to feds an klinks.

    I think its pefect as it is now. Its logical to assume that even if you are alligned with Klingons, if you are rommie you will have acces to T5 romulan ships, not klingon.. it will make no sense to have acces to every ship lol. Everybody will create romulan toons, then.
