Three Romulan Hangar Bay requests

suavekssuaveks Member Posts: 1,736 Arc User
I realise Romulans still do not have a proper Carrier, but there are already several ships, excluding the premium ones, capable of using carrier pets. However, Romulans only have access to Hangar pets of their allies, while their only faction specific pet is locked behind a reputation.

With the release of the recent Dreadnoughts, I'd like to post three reasonable (I think) requests.

1. Add some new Romulan-only hangar bays to EC, Dilithium, and Fleet stores. I think that the Kestrel Runabout would be an obvious choice here.

2. Let KDF-allied Romulans purchase Stinger Fighters if the player owns the Kolasi on his/her account. These are the only hangar bays unavailable to KDF-Romulan players, as it currently requires having the Kolasi claimed. Personally, I have a KDF-ROM flying a JHDC and I was really disappointed I couldn't buy the new hangar, as it would really fit my current build.

3. Let the Kara/Fleet Ha'apax T6 use Romulan Drone Ships if the players owns any of the Scimitar variants. The new Dreadnought is one of the biggest ships in the game, so it being able to use the Drone Ships would certainly make it even more desirable.

I'm not sure if we can expect a proper Romulan Carrier anytime soon, but with all the recent releases of Command Battlecruisers, Escort Carrier, and the Dreadnought, all equipped with Hangar Bays, I really think the availability of hangar pets for Romulans should be looked into.

    There's really no reason why Romulans shouldn't at the very least get the Tiercel Shuttle or Kestrel Runabout , it's not like they have to make a new model they just have to add some stats and code to them. Though I wouldn't mind a new type of carrier pet more relevant to this time period.

    Don't agree with number two , Romulans have been homogenized into the other factions too much already they need to separate the factions more not blend them together.

    Agree with point three I said that when the ship was first announced. Though technically it's an advanced warbird not a dreadnought by Romulan standards. ;)

    I was very disappointed that Nausicaans received a new fighter while Romulans hanger pets were once again ignored into obscurity.

    While the Romulans should have more pets, at least the Scorpion is attainable from the Rep System as opposed to having to get to a fleet with a t5 starbase

    I've been asking for new Hangar pets since they added more Romulan ships that can handle a Hangar...and I've asked for more pets in general since they've been adding pets with specialization abilities...no word on either and I'm sure they're all but to glad not to make any extra effort that they couldn't profit on.

    Honestly...it's not that hard to find one these days...

    Personally I find that worse really because the scorpions aren't even exclusive to Romulans anyone can get them.

    Yeah I've always thought this myself...so we now have several Romulan ships that don't have any exclusively Romulan carrier pet...

    Agreed. I personally wish I could use the drone on my Kara. I'm using Delta Flyers right now, but it doesn't feel right on that ship. Plus for some reason, the cooldown is set to 60 seconds on it which doesn't seem right as it's much lower on my Fed character's Geneva cruiser, which also doesn't have any special cooldown trait. Why is this?

    Definitely sounds like it's bugged...I'd send in a report.

    I wouldn't hold out much hope for that getting fixed we couldn't even get the t6 Haapax fleet discount bug fixed for buying the Kara.

    I do agree that romulans need there own fighters/shuttles pets. Just as feds should eventually get frigate pets. With the new t6 carrier.

    The Tiercel shuttle, Kestrel runnabout, and the Romulan scout ship/science ship (Commander's Gig) seem like natural candidates for Romulan hanger pets. I'm a little more optimistic for their inclusion now that the KDF can finally use Stinger Fighters...

    ...although the KDF still has quite the laundry list of missing shuttles/hanger pets, so who knows.

    You know...I had never thought of the scout ship for a hangar pet before for some odd reason...now that I think of it I would love to have them!

    The T'Lis as well! .... Cryptic would have to invent some sort of TOS carrier to go with it, but that would be mighty entertaining to see in it's own right! There was a TOS era minatures game (I want to say...Call to Arms?) that had a lot of TOS era Romulan ships-probably a good place for Cryptic to look for inspiration.

    things you could do to make a romulan carrier more individual is have a console on it that activates the romulan hanger pets singularity ability and instead of having a dreadnought carrier or just a normal carrier have a full science carrier with secondary deflector.

    or just think how confusing if you had romulan hanger frigates with warp shadow ability
    also i think a science(ship) carrier with a secondary focus in tac, possibly with a hybrid intel seat would fit for the i dear of what the romulans were like and to aid in the protection of the new romulan home world as they do not have any thing except allies to help them defend their new space properly
    Romulan carrier stats t6
    hull:49,250
    sheild mod: 1.30
    weapons: 3fore 3aft
    hagerbays: 2
    crew:2,000
    Boffs: LtCom tac, LtCom eng, Com sci/intel, Lt Uni/intel
    devices: 3
    consols: 4 tac, 3 eng, 4 science
    turn rate: 7
    impulse: 0.18
    Inertia: 25
    pwr bonus: +10 wep +10aux
    secondary deflector

    something like this perhaps ^_^ nudge nudge cyptic i am helping your work out the important bits XD

    One thing they can do with RR carriers(or carriers in general) is for them to have a new set, where they launch 1 BOP and 2 fighters at the same time, if that can be programmed.

    Which is locked behind the Romulan Reputation projects if you want the Elite or Advanced ones... Which ANY faction can get so Scorpions are not faction specific.

    he is right the only romulan only ones are the drone ships and they are scimmy falcion or talwar dreadnought warbird only
