But why have a worse cloak than what was in the movie? I mean should it not be Enhanced Battle cloak at bare Minimum?
Because movies don't have to worry about balance?
If you make the Scimitar like it's movie counterpart then what you have is a perfect-cloak wielding, fighter-launching super-carrier with a doomsday weapon in addition to an arsenal that would put North Korea to shame, and whose only weakness is to Betazoid women and Captains who have zero qualms ramming their ship into things.
And even that is assuming that you have a particularly rapey Reman onboard.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

Hmm - Uber super ship of doom - vs - balance?? Tough choice.
How many what the uber super ship of Doom? 3 pack only 7000 zen or 3000 zen each.
what about this idea -> every shot makes it visible like with the consoles set for the tvaro, so ppl cant just do rapidfire all the time, cause they decloak permanantly then.
Maybe we can introduce the Nemesis Scimitar at a cost of 2,000,000 Zen or $20,000. Thalaron Generator would have to be replaced of course with something not despised by every person in the Alpha Quadrant, but everything would be the same. Perfect Cloak, insane speed and turn rate, dual shielding, 5 hangars, and 79 weapon slots. Of course, the unstripped temporal ships would be available for that price as well so they could go to the 29th Century Earth Space Dock and Starfleet Academy. The Temporal shuttles would be worth $10,000.
Ok, to be serious for a moment, I am expecting the playable Scimitar to be the Romulan counterpart to the Odyssey. It will get similar stats, will have the normal Romulan Battle Cloak, and will mount dual cannons. It will come in theee flavors, each with slightly different console and BOFF layouts, and a special console for each. If we are fortunate, it will also have a hangar bay for Scorpion fighters.
If they nerfed the temporal ships to be more balanced, then they will nerf the Scimitar. A temporal ship should be able to solo any STF. There will be some story about why the playable Scimitars are not as powerful as the Nemesis Scimitar.
Our Temporal ships are weakened thanks to the crystal bugs. This is why I take so much pleasure in breaking them in game.
Though I do smash them quickly, if they hadn't been jumping around in time we wouldn't have our ships anyway.

Have you figured out the process to use Tholian bodies instead of dilithium to power your ship? If not my Captain, can give you the process. It increases the efficiency of the Warp Engines by 0.4%. There are ways of improving on the process which increases the efficiency by 20%, but they require not damaging the Tholian bodies while in combat and special equipment found on the black market.
What Kind of gimmic can they add to make it kind of badass just like the movie?
It will be a three ship pack and be the Romulan carrier. People will line up to give Cryptic their money.
Edit: By the way, perfect cloak may have been a thing when the Scimitar was first used, but technology moves forward, the cloaks of yesterday can be detected and seen through by shuttles today, so there's nor eason to assume it'd work the same at all.

North Korea doesn't need a comparison to some fictional starship to feel shame.
True, but I like that bit. It has weight.
And it's mildly humorous.
