    On a sidenote (hope its the right sub-forum)

    I am argueing with myself whether to buy myself a B'rel from the zen store (+ 3 month sub + 2 char slots)
    as I plan on bringing the two romanian chars to the KDF branch of my crossfaction fleet.
    Will these Romulan-Orion-Klingon F2 hybrids (I see roleplaying issues ahead) be able to claim said ship and will they be able to claim the fleet version?

    If not, which other ship would you suggest for either a sci and a tac rom char?

    Your Romulan toons will not be able to fly the B'rel. Now if you make a 'Romulan' KDF toon through the alien generator, that's different and applies the normal restrictions by being a pure KDF toon.

    Now, I can't remember the sci-heavy Romulan ships outside the D'deridex atm, but for your tac at the least, buying the T'varo is much like the B'rel in that it has a unique Enhanced Battle Cloak.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Still nothing remotely playable of a cruiser. In fact they made one of them worse.

    .....

    Yay!

    So when I decloak, I should just throw my tac consoles at em. Will have the same effect.

    thanks for writing that out in a visually friendly way


    im so confused, so you can get the ha'apax separated, with each half haveing totaly uniqe setups, or fly the hapax with the separation console, and fly ether half with the ha'apax statino setup, with basicly just different turn rates and power bonuses for each half? i mean its not like a seperated ship could just change station setups, theres no tech that could pull that off, that would be an ability tray and nightmare, not to mention you would want totaly differnt equipment, consoles and weapons.

    so.... confused.... unable to check for a few more hours. and got to do the tutorial all over before i can even get to the flotilla, great. all that time wasted flying the sorties to get my d'deridex, now thats all gone :mad: i know that character was doomed, but i wnted to test endgame and give feedback on that. pretty fat chance on that now

    It looks like the bits of the Ha'apax are separate, considering this bit in the notes:
    Mirror Warbirds have been added to existing Lock Boxes!
    Romulan Players that open these existing Lock Boxes will have a chance at receiving new variant starships:
    Tholian Lock Box has a chance of containing a Mirror Universe Ha'apax Battle Cruiser Warbird
    Temporal Lock Box has a chance of containing a Mirror Universe Ha'nom Guardian Warbird
    Dominion Lock Box has a chance of containing a Mirror Universe Ha'feh Assault Warbird

    Oh, and it looks like the Romulans are going to have the first 5-tac console Patrol Escort Layout. Rage, anyone?

    Plenty of changes there. T'Varo gets a BoP console layout and lower hull, Dhelan is now the sciscort while Mogai is the engscort, D'Deridex gets a very interesting boff layout, Romulans get some choice of free ships at endgame, including a Sci ship.

    Plus, everything besides the Dhelan and the Ha'nom (can't help but grin every time I see that) can use AtB.

    Blast, now I'm totally spoilt for choice. The T'Varo was the one to go for, but now....it's basically a BoP with fixed boff stations and somewhat better hull.

    the Dhelan can use an AtB build fine, with 2 LT eng. basically all of them can, except the 2 parts of the ha'apax. ships that can use doubled up AtB im happy with, and they all can just fine

    >>> The Ha'nom and Ha'feh are the two parts of the Ha'apax...

    How is that possible? Ship separation has never changed Boff/consoles before!

    Are you sure that you are not seeing visual placeholders?

    Not only that, but the Deridex was unchanged. Romulans are easily, by a huge margin, the worst faction to be a Cruiser pilot in. I can start to see the reasons for the alliance system now.

    They're distinct ships...

    The Ha'apax model is the combined models of the Support Vessel and the Escort Vessel.
    The Ha'nom model is the Support Vessel model without the Escort Vessel.
    The Ha'feh model is the Escort Vessel model without the Support Vessel.

    The descriptive paragraph for each:

    The Ha'apax Advanced Warbird represents the latest developments in Romulan technology. Larger than even the mighty D'deridex, it has superior firepower and even greater hull strength. While slow to maneuver, the Ha'apax is a juggernaut on the battlefield, capable of withstanding tremendous damage while unleashing its weapons on its foes.

    The Ha'nom Guardian Warbird represents the latest developments in Romulan technology. Developed in tandem with the Ha'apax, the Ha'nom Guardian Warbird is slightly smaller, and designed for support. Although officially it is a Warbird, technically, it is a Science Vessel - complete with Subystem Targeting, Sensor Analysis, and bonus power to Auxiliary.

    The Ha'feh Assault Warbird represents the latest developments in Romulan technology. Developed in tandem with the Ha'apax, the Ha'feh Assault Warbird is much smaller, faster and packs a bigger punch. The Ha'feh Assault Warbird channels all available power to Weapons making it one of the deadliest Warbirds, at the sacrifice of some hull and shields.

    The models for the Ha'nom and Ha'feh could just be placeholders. They are the individual aspects of the Ha'apax, mind you.

    We have this from the Haakona as well...

    The Haakona Advanced Warbird is an upgraded version of the Ha'apax Advanced Warbird. The ship class is named after the I.R.W. Haakona, a D'deridex captained by Subcommander Taris in the 24th Century.

    The Haakona Advanced Warbird was designed based on stolen plans for the Prometheus, a powerful Federation escort. Utilizing these plans, the Romulan Star Empire was able to design their own version, merging the design of the D'deridex Warbird Battle Cruiser with advanced Federation technology.

    The Haakona Advanced Warbird is equipped with a Romulan Battle Cloaking Device. This Cloaking device can be used in combat, but your weapon systems and shields are disabled while it is active.

    This ship comes with a unversal Haakona Separation console. This console allows you to separate your Ha'apax into two separate ships. You can choose to pilot the Haakona Escort or Haakona Support Vessel.


    Interesting to note, is it is no longer called Haakona Separation. It's Ha'apax Separation. Hrmmm, I need to update that...meh...oh well.

    Still, the Haakona refers to them as the Haakona Escort and Haakona Support Vessel.

    Thus, it is entirely possible that those models being used for the Ha'nom and Ha'feh are simply placeholders...or it could be a case that the Ha'nom and Ha'feh are more advanced versions of those vessels that form Voltron...er...the Ha'apax.

    In my post, it was mainly a case of pointing out that the Ha'nom and Ha'feh have the two models that combine to form the Ha'apax...can be seen either at the Ship Vendor or in the image Prax linked in the other thread.

    I think I'll ask Archon about it in the feedback thread though...
  • naeviusnaevius Member Posts: 0 Arc User
    edited May 2013
    I'd bet they are just using the models as placeholders, since it seems strange that the same 'piece' has completely different stats in different circumstances.

    In any case, the Ha'feh doesn't look too bad stats-wise.

    Well, we've got Refits/Retrofits/Mirror Universe/Fleet variants of ships out there that use the "same" model with different stats...so, it could be something akin to that. I went ahead and asked Archon in the feedback thread though.

    Probably wishful thinking on my part. Ah, well - they look ok. (pics on Reddit.) More warbird model are always welcome, however.

    Change T'varo, mogai what BS and the D'deridex Warbird still is unplayable with the terrible setup

    What are u all thinking u made 2 great ship layout absolute TRIBBLE. Thank the man upstairs I did not buy the legacy pack yet.

    The Romulan where the only thing holding me hear now after the new ship changes and the Boff layout there is nothing new or exciting anymore, you sucked the air out of the room again cryptic.

    Face into screen.

    Geko stated in a interview earlier a while back wondering why c store ships are not selling as much as they thought. New ships are not selling because they are made into terrible cookie cutter builds with bad Bo and console set ups nothing unique. T'varo, mogai where nice new ship both just a little different now ruined. D'deridex Warbird a icon like the galaxy, ruined just like the galaxy. Who is running this game that's the last straw, after 3 years I am fed up with this BS finally. No more money for u cryptic and you wonder why the legacy pack fails.

    both ships are pretty great as is
