The blog that was posted last week said that stats on the Scimitar would be posted today, did I miss it or did it just not happen?

    According to Brandon there was some trouble with getting the screenshots for it and it would be delayed by 3 hours. This should mean that it comes out in the next 10 minutes but don't hold me to that :P

    It spawned, fired and then cloaked. We haven't seen it since...I just hope it's still in sensor range. :(

    I just want to say now. To all those people who dont want the Scimitar in the game or will think its over powered or for whatever reason want it nerfed or removed. In advance, with the maximum of respect to your opinions. Please. Stick your head into my warp core and hit jettison.

    With respect. :D

    IF the stats on the screenshots going around are true...
    IF it has hull/shield stats on a par with the JHDC...
    IF the weapons layout is along the lines of a Kumari...

    I cannot think of a better definition of a pay to win ship. That is the sole reason I don't want this ship to be in-game.

    For the record, I'm completely for the Scimitar as a Romulan carrier - rightly deserve their own flagship, just not in the rumoured ridiculously overpowered form.

    Scimitar's not the flagship. Devs have confirmed it multiple times. Getting tired of reminding folks. Get it through your head. Scimitar's not the flagship.

    Heh, everyone who holds similar opinions to myself is deemed a 'hater' and a winer. I really am all for the Scimitar as a Romulan carrier. My sole issue is with the stats of the ship which, until the dev blog comes along with some proper numbers, seems to be very overpowered even by other carrier standards.

    With regards to the use of 'flagship' - semantics :P

    1 hangar bay

    And jesus wept.

    Guess there is still a chance the romulans will get a carrier one day?

    Anyway thanks for that, now I don't regret getting a recluse for my romulan (y)

    Still got plenty going for you.

    5 tac consoles, ability to blast away whilst cloaked with shields and then have a second shield layer when you come out of your battle cloak ;)

    Im a little miffed its only 1 bay. But only a little. :D All those other stats! Very nice. Its more like an ubered up Armitage. I can live with that.

    Only annoying thing for me is that I dont get paid until next week. Ill be dribbling enviously at all the other Scimitars flying about before then. Just dont nerf the thing before I buy one

    Name another 3 piece that comes close to the one that will be on the Scimitar? Rather glad it doesn't have hull and carrier capacity on a par with the JHDC, and the extra point in turn rate along with the 2 piece definitely means it deserved some nerfs to not make it stupidly overpowered! :)

    Wellll, with it being 2000 hull less than an Odyssey Its certainly no dreadnaught, but with five weapons up front and three in back, it IS an escort.. Albeit its the games largest, slowest most ungainly escort, but it is none the less an escort.. Really, a ship like this can only have one purpose in game and thats EStF's against the borg. I Forsee a LOT more D'Stahlianism going on here with interminable amounts of grinding..

    Cryptic?? When are you folks gonna get it together and present the Romulans with a REAL ship instead of just another lame panzy assed excuse for an oversized escort?? YES I'm buying the three pack. Theres GOT to be something in there salvageable.. but this is it. no more..

    Has anyone tested the pets on tribble ?

    Says in the blog they morph into enemies appearance - what's it going to look like on STF ?

    And how much does that take away from them in dps

    I'm surprised I was expecting a full cruiser, but its just a glorified Flight Deck Cruiser.

    It even has the same turn rate as a Maurader FDC, maybe a Corsair or even a Daciot with the three set and thursters. Its hull is only a thousand higher then a Fleet Corsair or Maurader.

    And its got only one hangar, really surprised by that.

    Many of the console abilities are powerful, but have major draw backs, they'll be potent in the right hands, but in an inexperienced captain it will mean death.

    Take the Thaleron attack, an escort will dodge that easily and not moving your a sitting duck, easy prey, and a sci ship could use a buffed up feedback pulse to bounce it back at and then clean itself off with hazard emitters.

    The cloaked barrage will be potent, but if you foe survives it, you lose alot of weapons power, and thier are ways to break a cloak.

    The real beast part will be the secondary shields, hopefully those are temp power and not passive and constant.

    A tier 5 fllight Deck Cruiser could take a player in a scimatar, depending on captains and builds.

    Also note this is the first none full carrier to have a frigate, Atriox owners should be mad they don't have a frigate yet, and captains of other hybrids carriers like Flight Deck Cruisers, Vestas, and HECs should be hopeful that a frigate for them may come.

    Two hangar bays would have been ridiculous with how powerful it already is. One is fine.

    I would have preferred it to come with the JHEC movement stats. A 7 turn rate is just too low for me :(

    Your forgetting the turn rate boost from having two or three of the consoles.

    And its not a escort, it has the same number of weapon slots as a cruiser abit in a different configuration, same basic turn rate as a Maurader, roughly same hull, same shields as a Fleet Corsair, same amount of hangar bays as a FDC.

    I'd say its good, really good, but not over powered, but playing in one wrong will get players blown up.

    Well I guess I was just hoping for a carrier is all, especially because of its size.

    Sure enough I am biased because that's the class I fly I'd pretty much give everything up in trade for 2 hangar bays in addition to having zero pvp concerns.

    I am still curious to see what the unique pets do though

    I didn't expect it to be an escort, more of an true carrier. The JHEC isn't either, its more of a destroyer/cruiser hybrid.

    Will have to see the info on what the 2 piece turn rate boost is, and what effect it actually has before I put money down :)

    The JHEC has escort right in the name and has an escort layout, its just at the low end of the escort turn rate and the high end of escort defence.

    And take into concideration elite RSC consoles, Fleet Engines with +turn rates, boosted turn rate while cloaked and so on.
