Some of the ships have really "nice" descriptions of their special consoles :P
"Cryptic Studio’s Jack Emmert (2010): Microtransactions are the biggest bunch of nonsense. I like paying one fee and not worrying about it – like my cellphone. The world’s biggest MMO isn’t item based, even though the black market item GDP is bigger than Russia … microtransactions make me want to die.”

    My first thought was "maybe I should skip Romulans altogether".

    Hmmm. Really not sure what to make of these. Wonder what the Scimitar specs will come out like.

    I know it's a US site, but it'd be nice if they could give international costs as well.
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    When I saw all of the retrofit ships, I knew it was worth the cost of admission. :P
    I'm just lucky I did have the funds.. though Barely, to purchase it. The 129.99 covers all the ships, and the 30 keys. Everything else is pretty much candy. :D
    You think that your beta test was bad?

    So excited about the Romulan faction!

    So about those consoles...they sound pretty interesting. How do we think they will affect PvP?

    Seems I might drop for just the starter, though I'll probably wait for specs first.

    The console powers looks a little worrisome, though.

    Wrong subforum. Besides, it's just a bundle of ships that will be sold in the C-store individually anyway.

    Raising panic over a vague description of consoles is premature. What we know about them is limited, and there's no need to start crying about a falling sky before the information is released.

    As it stands, no matter what the consoles actually do, there will still be a lot of people who will condemn them anyways, before seeing them in action.

    Every time something new is scheduled to be introduced, the PvP community throws up its hands in outrage. That is... until those new things are actually introduced, and we realize that we were being overly dramatic.

    The game, as we know it, may not be perfect. But we've kept playing so far, and we'll keep playing going forward.

    I for one, welcome our new Romulan overlords. (just kidding!)

    Ruh roh, did they say that none of this will be available for testing on Tribble before launch?

    That's worked SO WELL for us in the past...

    And then decide how much PWE disgusts me this month.

    I'm pretty sure "the ship that turns slower" than Galaxy and have "roughly firepower" according to previous dev blog, will be sure a really nice ship :P

    Edit: Oh how could I miss the three engineering ensigns it will have as heavy engineering ship !

    for a split second you could see the D'd turning in the vid. its turn rate was clearly horrible :mad:


    and ya, they need to post stats before i commit to anything. do life timers get anything? kinda feels like we reached the end of our modest special treatment with the release of these new packs.

    LIfers get to play as liberated romulan captain. Hopefully that shot was just the player doing a little turning to keep ship in 45' angle. But yeah bad omen on that part. :(

    since then i read a dev post by bran, he said there WILL be a rom vet ship (yay!) but not at launch. and presumably the lib rom.

    the problem with this pack is that these will be none +1 ships, what you really want is the fleet version. but you need to get the c store version to get the fleet store discount, and a console. they just HAD to add in all these stupid consoles. presumably tied with singularity cores which seems like its going to be a massively gimmicky gimmick.

    the only way to get the ent era rom bop seems c store. and the DHC hardpoint on the tip of the nacelles, god that looks stupid.

    "The following ships unlock for all Romulan Republic characters on an account."

    Technically, that doubles the value of all the ships, eh? Including their consoles.

    You're buying them for your K-Roms and F-Roms. Hrmmm...

    ...stats would definitely be nifty though.

    Still, down the road - that ~$10ish for the Shield Leech (depending on stats) looks pretty good...
