I'd love to see a playable Scimitar, one as accurate in detail as one in the movie if at all possible.
It dwarfs a sovereign, so does the Vo"quv.
balance aside I'd just like to see it used as a dreadnought of sorts, with a more "in line" Superweapon.

Tac will get a console that will enhance energy weapons with Thalaron energy for 15 seconds, with a high chance of delivering a nasty DoT to enemy targets that deals damage to hull and crew, and has a chance to spread.
Sci will get a console that will project a sphere of Thalaron radiation around their vessel for 15 seconds, again delivering a nasty DoT to deal damage to hull and crew, and has a chance to spread.
Eng console will enhance the power levels of their ship for 10 seconds, as well as deliver a flat bonus to weapon damage, shield strength, ship speed, and effectiveness of aux-based abilities.
Each variant will have similar but different ship designs, as well as come with the bridge interior seen from Nemesis.
...
TOTALLY UNCONFIRMED btw... :P
Bingo. Keep your 5000 Zen handy.
And it's not that big, really. The Scimitar was 800 meters long, most of its size was in its wingspan, and it would be dwarfed by the Ha'apax that'll be all over the game soon.
If they make them available, i would bind them ONLY to that one ship and make them and the set available through the LOBI store. (like Andorian phasers)
That makes no sense at all, none of the 3 pack special weapons were put in the lobi store Andorian phasers are just blue phasers nothing special about them besides color.
and as for Thalaron weapons being banned, my good friend Obisek knows a guy.
yeah, Obisek..
i do hope that guy does not own a bar at DS9

As for boffs however I think it should be unique for a ship its size, set it up like a bird of prey with 4 universal boff slots, one commander, one lt. commander, and two lt. slots.
Give it the battle cloak like all other romulan ships, but make fighters despawn when their owner cloaks to prevent abuse.
Tholaron weapons are cool in theory but they are illegal according to both the kdf and the federation, so they shouldn't be available no matter how cool they might be when you miss with them every single time you use them because its too easy to just move out of the way.
As for other stats, that would be up to Cryptic to figure out what makes sense and is somewhat balanced.
I doubt it will be here for launch, but I dont think it will be too far off.
It's going to be a monster when it turns up.
I just hope its not Slamek, he was a miserable git!
With Thaleron weapons, I can see them being introduced, and then being massively nerfed.
Also, It is a shame that they 'scaled down' the Scimitar, and it is not the original 'movie' size.
Since when terrorists, like the romulan republic, care about weapons of mass destruction being banned?
I live in an alternate universe, where j.j. abrams and cryptic never existed,
where R.S.E. is what it always should be.
or one lance per "arm" when it's in the attack position :P
I hope that has Cryptic starts to offer more original designs that we get a Reman raider class warbird that resembles a mini Scimitar.
Which is the bigger vessel the Romulan/Reman Scimitar or the Bortasqu?
