Lack of missions for romulan marks compared to omega marks?

There are far too many missions that reward omega marks but not alot for romulan marks for space missions.
Also since kase has a scimitar in the mission as the end boss can this stf reward some romulan marks maybe instead of omega or a mix of the two, devs?
As i and probably many, dont really fancy doing ground for romulan marks and even tho new romulous is a nice place i really dont like doing ground stuff i.e do 10 things = x. So devs, any chance of more of the fleet actions like sb24 or whatever giving romulan marks instead of omega marks perhaps so their isnt a big gap between the two when obtaining them in space?

Funny thing is, I haven't played much of the Romulan content in the past week, but I have twice as many Romulan marks as Omega marks. Not sure how I got so many.
In the same amount of time, and with about the same amount of effort, I can get 18 Romulan Marks doing the Azure Nebula Rescue mission. (Anything above the 18 in that mission gets turned into Fleet Marks.)
That's the real issue here, I think. The Romulan space mission rewards need to be more on par with ISE.
Earning romulan marks you know all you're going to get is the marks...it feels like going to work.
Not to mention you are forfeiting the 960 dil, the newly introduced extra reward of up to 11 neural processors and loot drop (that has a good chance of containing very rare Mk XII).
Some new elite space instances for romulans would be groovy.
Omega: Shoot Borg, and more Borg, and more Borg. And even more Borg....
and PLEASE fix these alarms, i didn't even get to play one since S7 launch, all were bugged!
Now if your queuing for this while on New Romulus doing the dailies you should pull in a nice sum of marks. I don't do this everyday, just once every two or three days. That keeps it from getting stale, and free's me up to do doffing/dil dailies/stf's etc.
There needs to be more space options, and those options need to be more efficient at earning marks.
You're off base. As mentioned elsewhere there are 8-10 space patrols that can earn you 60-75 Romulan marks in about 40 minutes, 2 STF's and the Red Alert program. The ground missions are four at level 1, and 1 additional so far at each Tier (I try level 3 tomorrow).
So far with 4 toons leveling every 20 hours, Romulan Marks have not been a problem - even with the Romulan additions to the 'Acamar Timewarp'. My biggest issue is having to make commodities runs to avoid the exchange pirates.
Get your boots dirty. They're not that hard. Except for Mountain Pass. That one vexes me so.

So per hour in space missions you earn a heck of a lot more omega marks than you can romulan marks. We need more space missions that arnt dailys which nets you 50 romulan marks a hour or so and a few of these missions not just one so you can play them one after another but have 1 hour cool downs like the elite stfs.
Also please stop bringing up ground i made the thread specifically to discuss the space portion of obtaining rom marks. Which is the problem i want to discuss.
Also yes you could maybe get by the romulan system if all you do is the 2000 and 800 projects but if the zero console is anything to go by then obviously you need ALOT of marks i.e 500 just for the console. What else will need that many that people want. If all you do is space missions then it will take you longer than say if something of equal requirements on the omega side was there. I.e if the zero console for 500 omega marks then you can get that in a reasonable fashion by playing alot of elite stfs in a day or two. You cant really do that for the romulan side as the dailys get you roughly 100 marks or so but the time it takes can be awhile (if you dont do the acamar system). Even then why rely on dailys for the 50 marks on average type of mission to get rom marks, i hate that limit as there isnt a limit like that for 50 marks for omega for comparison (in space).
Nah, you're off base.I earn my patrol daily 75 marks(turn in rep bonus) in about 20 minutes, that's the only reasonably good source for time spent. The red alert is too inconsistent to complete, I might actually get into one about once every 4 days. The "STFs" reward pitiful amounts, and performing better in them only spills over into fleet marks instead of additional Romulan marks,
And no, the Romulan ground content isn't hard at all. It's just unenjoyable.. Why do people that like the ground content always assume when someone dislikes it its because of the difficulty? I want additional space events because the space mechanics don't suck, difficulty has nothing to do with it.
I agree, I do not like ground maps.
Isn't that what Admirals do?
Please give more reward for the current romulan pve queue.
I just usually do enough at New Romulus to get enough marks for a week's worth of rep assignments.
Except Star trek wasn't all space all the time, in fact most of the time the ship was in orbit while all the good stuff was happening on the planet of the week.
Sure, as long as they also improve Defera ground to be more on par with New Rom ground. :P
I don't think you get the point. It's easier to get more doing less... but we're asking for more, doing more. Yay, you can chase rabbits for 400 marks in five days (*If you crit TWICE). I can get 500 Omega marks in a little over an hour, all night, every night. That's the point. Most people don't want to hop on and tend their farms and log off, they want to play.
No, the ground stuff isn't hard. Neither is it expedient, enjoyable, or rewarding.
Yay, 60-75 Romulan marks in 40 minutes (ONCE A DAY).
2 STFs (THAT REWARD 18-25 MARKS EACH)
Red Alerts! (Have been broken for months, might take days to get one to work).
And ground, ground, ground ground, ground.
Let's try this metaphor for you: Your customers are complaining that the food you're serving is unpalatable and leaves them hungry. When the ask for tastier food, or something more filling, you're saying "Just keep eating the tasteless TRIBBLE, you'll get full eventually.".
Ground combat is terrible. You might not agree, but you're in the minority. Asking for more flavors, for more STFs, for elite STFs, for actual hourly missions instead of daily, and to play the way we want (when we have time, not logging on once a day to tend pets) is completely reasonable, and none of your solutions fix the problem or illuminate an answer. Yes, we're all aware of the many crappy ground missions that take a long time and reward nothing.
I don't get why every time someone asks for more New Romulus space, someone always brings up the bunnies. Yes, they're cute. No, they're not Star Trek, not challenging, not consistent, not fast, not engaging, and not really fun to do (Ooh, run around for one minute once a day?!? SIGN ME UP!!). In the week it takes you folks to make 400 Marks, I can have made a few thousand Omega. I can get 115 Omega Marks every twenty minutes. So stop acting like what is on the menu now is A-OK--because it's really not.
i can get rm's all day. dont want to, but i can.
but om's? all i know are the stf's and defari (and while my fleet ships good. my avcom is TRIBBLE)
yeah. but getting a team that actually works in even in normal stfs is hard.
But Rommie Rep gives you a space ability, while Omega gives you a ground one. Seeing as most of the game takes place in space........
In all honesty though, I really don't see where the OP is coming from. Sure Rommie missions give less marks, but there's so many of them it doesn't really matter.
For Rommie Stuff:
For Omega Stuff:
And since there's only three STFs that you can more or less reliably PUG, then.... well... that kind of cuts it down doesn't it?
Yeah, I could get them faster if I did STF's, but teamplay is REALLY not my thing... plus solo is just more fun, I think
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
