I really hate when they nerf things that don't need to be nerfed. First Andorian weapons and Catian Melee and now "The Defense of New Romulus mission." Why don't you just adjust the reward when it is repeated like purple MK XI plasma-disruptor weapons.
Sometimes I wonder what is the point of adding all these fleet weapons and special gear if the enemies pose no challenge even on Elite. Nerf the normal mode only, leave the rest the way they were, that way you have the best of both worlds. Nerfing the whole mission is going to make the "Defense of a Homeworld" seem like a skirmish in space.
Next whiners success -- a Nerfed Scimitar that is comparable to a damn Galaxy X.
Galaxy X:
641 meters
Width: 467.1 meters
Specifications
Decks: 42
Crew: 1,000
Maximum speed: quantum slipstream velocities
Armaments: 11 phaser arrays; 3 photon torpedo launchers
Scimitar:
890 meters
Width: 1350 meters
Specifications
Armaments: 52 disruptor banks; 27 torpedo launchers
Defences: regenerative deflector shields; cloaking device
Systems: thalaron generator
Auxiliary craft: 40+ Scorpion-class fighters
Yeah really ******* comparable.

I agree with you .
>.>
hmm.. then again I agree with you too....... what the?
i dont think it was that difficult but its certainly out of keeping with every other mission in the whole game. when that happens, it needs nerfing. (some could not even complete i on their own)
Of course, anybody including myself who thinks DoNR was a pain, wait till you get Elachi in no win scenario. That's a doozy!
Dude, those missions are in a range for new chars without full lvl (guess it was around 25-30, server down as you know). They don't have mk xii gear etc.
I did those with my adm., full maco xii set and a cardassian cruiser with borg set etc. - not a really problem and still had some work. Without this stuff I think it's also almost impossible to do with a lvl approciate char at normale and don't even talk about elite.
It's ok if you need to pull everything you have to do the mission at the level it was made of, but it shouldn't be impossible.
I had that same problem, but I packed it in for the evening had a think and realize I wasnt playing as a Romulan would fight.
I found that hit and fade attacks worked especially well, utilizing the battle cloak to dip in and out of battle when attracting agro slowly drawing the Command Ship away from the rest of the group while the Hero's kept the armada busy.
I metaphorically slapped myself for being so one minded in battle

I was playing on normal.
In the free ship it gave me, with whatever gear i could afford.
I died.
I died again.
I tried a sneak attack. I died.
After 20 minutes of watching the cool singularity explosion animation again and again, i had to go and get help from 2 Lvl50's from the EliteSTF channel before i could do it.
And that was on normal.
How could you enjoy that on elite O.o?!
But, But it's only about me...I'm the only one who spends money in the game, I'm the only lifer... I'm Captain Kirk!
I was only level 30ish...so the D'dederix took a hella beating. But, it was attainable and the mots fun I've had in a while. But it was annoying too being beat down pretty bad by those tractors that damage hull directly...
I don't think it needed to be nerfed...just lightly tweaked.
When you have not just one but several 50 page threads stating this mission was freaking impossible at its stated level, not to mention Beta testers screaming at Cryptic weeks before launch that this mission needed re-balancing that's not whining, that's stating a cold hard fact. I completed it at level 50 with solid gear and it was still rough, but it was a lot easier than it was at level 36 when I was loaded with rainbow mission drops.
And I completed "the last stand" playing on Elite difficulty at level 34 without dying, so don't tell me LTP. I'll tell you stop lying on an internet forum and get a freaking life. You're still the same small guy whether you beat this mission without dying or not. And sadly, you're fooling no-body.
It is meant to be done alone. All of the episode missions are meant to be done alone. These are the single player content for people who are not in a fleet, for people learning how the game works for new players.
You want group play then get in a qeue for one of the many options for teams and quit whinging because they made a solo mission manageable by a solo player.

Fleet gear is designed to make everything faceroll easy.
Start a thread with your friends to bug cryptic to create some new elite content designed around your playstyle if you want a challenge, instead of complaining about something finally being fixed that was not intended to be next to impossible for most new players to do.
It needed to be toned down.
On normal difficulty the penalty for death is... the time to take a drink from your cold beverage of choice.
Defence was bugged. having 5 dreadnought +10 battleship to do almost alone is a bug.
Having a mission you can repeat for purple MK XI unique weapon ? Not even in your dream. The mission was not even designed to be a challenge, storyline mission are not supposed to be challenging, eSTF are.
Then you start talking about whiner asking to nerf the Scimitar. What ? Is there a playable scimitar ingame ? No. Is there any playable scimitar stats posted somewhere ? No.
So why are you complaining about a nerf on ship that's not even there ?!
Let me do my best imitation of the trolls on this forum, and even in this thread ----
Dude! What? You're dumbing down the content! I did the quest with all white gear, and without any consoles in my ship config! You're killing the game! You just need to know your ship! Dude! I put my guns on autofire and went AFK to make coffee - came back and 2 dreadnoughts were dead and the command ship was at 25%. The Devs cater to whiners like you! That quest was easy - I never died once. I used Devil's Choice to show my grandma how to play STO. She did it on the first try, and she can't see out one eye. What the heck dude? Learn to play!
Critical thinking skills, tactics and actually learning to use the primary offensive power of the warbird will allow anyone to complete that mission satisfactorily.
"Playing nicely" here in the forums is harder to do than actually playing STO.
