ROM ship restrictions

I just bought the T5 Heavy Escort Carrier (FED) for one of my toons, plus the torpedo point defense console
for some other toons and then discovered that ROM-FED don't have access to FED T5/6 ships.
What is the reasoning behind this? My ROM-FED can access T1-T4 FED ships, so why not T5/6?
I'm in particular interested in the admiralty card (I'm a collector), so if you could just drop that in the mail
it be swell and we call it even
Gets even a little more ridiculous than all that...as a KDF toon i could just acquire a console pack
to get my mittens on the torpedo defense system...but ROM-FED would get the second console in such
a pack wouldn't they?

As for admiralty cards, they're character locked and can't be traded.
Because restriction fanboys complained about Romulans having full access to allied materiel and Cryptic wussed out by restricting the top-end ships.
Did the right thing you mean?
IMHO they should have restricted Romulans to warbirds exclusively and no allied ships.
No, they should've given them all ships from BOTH allies. And both allies the Romulan ships.
And removed the rest of the restrictions when the F-K war ended.
Not on a Romulan ship, but on a Romulan's ship, 2016 Summer ship is a Heavy Escort.
Anyway correct me if I am wrong, but a ROM-KDF can get the torpedo point defense from a console pack,
a ROM-FED can't get it from the ship and would get the other console from the pack.
Smae for the Klinks, that hop far behind on the Feds.
They just get less sober.
Mmm I guess I was mistaken that the Scimitar was for a while there the best DPS ship in the game.
And I guess I was mistaken that Romulans had a higher DPS potential with entire crews of SRO's
Oh well.
and then they started giving feds everything unique to the other two anyway...
I'm pretty sure having one cash shop only vessel is not what he meant. So sure the Scimi is great for min/max junkies with wads of cash to throw away on it and upgrading everything to gold mkXIV and hunting out SRO.... not so much for everyone else. And our levelling options for ships are all over the place from 'eww' to 'great' with no consistency and limited as hell options. The one sci ship we get needs work and looks like exactly what it is.... half a ship model
I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. The Torpedo Point Defense console (and the Destabilized Tachyon Burst, for that matter) are in fact restricted to the Federation Heavy Escort family, the Akira variants (and even there, the basic tier 3 Akira can't use it). Even if the ship is called a Vorgon Heavy Escort, it's not compatible with that wonderful torpedo spam. It's like how the Paladin Temporal Battlecruiser can't use a few items restricted to Battlecruisers. I think I saw a thread on that topic a little while back.
No, just no. I never want to see feds flying warbirds or birds of prey. How could you even suggest something like that?[/quote]
Assimilated warbirds? Beuller?
And AlexRaptorr, you throw in 1 Cash Shop ship vs like 50 free for the feds?
Seriously????
They just get less sober.
They do require an entirely different approach and mindset than Fed and KDF ships, but bad they are decidedly not.
Having used pretty much all available t4 and t5 (not cash shop) romulan vessels in lv60 content I feel I can safely call BS on that.. Sure any of them can DO the content, but some of them still suck. My anniversary DSD is a better science ship than the Ha'nom for example.
And hard too...
They just get less sober.
nah, you just need to learn to use sing powers and think a little differently. They're not clones of fed or klink ships and need to be used differently
Maybe because the Ha'nom isn't a purebred science ship? :P
I honestly couldn't say, as I've never used T4 and T5 ships in level 60 content from any faction period, except for maybe the T5-U Fleet D'deridex, of which I've been quite satisfied with.
Or maybe I just play with appropriate ships for level 60 content instead of bothering with old relics.
Nope you stand corrected
ROM-KDF can obtain the "Point defense turret" in disruptor dmg from a console pack [original console comes with the T3 FED Heavy Escort refit], a ROM-FED can claim the T3 Heavy Escort Refit if you purchased it but the "Point Defense Turret" will be in Phaser dmg flavor.
Also since it is a sub-T5 console you can equip it on your other ships, including event ships, and the dmg is buffed by phaser or disruptor consoles depending on which version it is.
