Why does the Scimatar get access to federation frigates and the feds don't?

Just curious at the irony that the Scimatar's Drone ships can take the forms of Federation Frigates like the Miranda and NX, effectively giving them the federation frigates fedation carrier captians have been begging for while the feds not even have that much access to them and the Scimatar isn't even a full carrier!
Anythoughts on this?

I will hop in my miranda and follow you around like a hanger pet. I think that is the best you will get.
Oh, I guess the Scimitar has Borg carrier pets, too. I look forward to a complaint thread about this.
The Romulans getting something cool doesn't mean the Federation needs a copy of it.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
They aren't real!!!!!!
:P
It's a faaaaake! :P
NX? :eek:
What weapons and abilities do they have?
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
So far for Fed mimicking I've seen NX, Miranda and Kumari. As far as abilities go, they don't gain new abilities over what they already have from taking a new form, the only change is that their energy weapons change to match the faction they mimic, so when they change to Miranda and NX, they fire phaser beams. If they change to mimic Borg frigates for example, they fire plasma beams and so on.
I'm not suggesting they give the feds thier own drone ships, give them thier own frigates.
Maybe constitution class
And borg players can complain when there is a borg faction.

It's an appearance change only! Should go read the blog!
It's only for their beams, though, they will always fire plasma torpedoes.
The Scimitar's Drone ships do not give them access to Federation Frigates. Holograms dont count, there are no special abilities gained. It's like saying the Federation have access to play as an Undine ship (via the Undine Nicor holo emitter), which is obviously a silly thing to claim.
On that note, NERF PLAYER UNDINE SHIPS, THEY ARE TOO OP!!!!
See, silliness, that's all this thread is about
Another point, obviously if the fed's were to get frigates, the devs will need to develop such hanger ships. If the Romulans already had access to Fed frigates, such development would be unnecessary. So another point why this is a silly topic
LMFAO x10!
Honestly it's the Thalaron pulse from allies in KASE that has scared me more than once. I'm a bit used to it now but having the guy behind Donatra start a Thalaron pulse had me hitting every speed boost I had.
Haven't had the Probe problem yet.

....this...this is to funny....
...On the same note - in ISE I saw probes floating around the Transformer, panicked when I saw probes('cause it was Elite), and panicked harder when I couldn't fire on them...I typed something....then the team did a huge eyeroll on me......I had to laugh at myself......:D
...Back on topic - I dunno.....since the Scimitar can get frigates and I don't have to already have a super rare ship - or slog my way through another toon, I'm happy I finally get to at least try this carrier thing with a faction I like.....
I was in a game and someone was flying a Scimitar and activated their Thalaron Pulse and another player got scared and used Tractor Beam Repulsors and pushed Donatra's ship causing the Thalaron Pulse to go to waste.
I want a ship that can launch borg probes! We need a Liberated or Adapted carrier that can launch probes because the drone ships can look like probes so I'm whiny.
Also, when you can explain how a whole frigate could fit inside a hangar bay, let me know. Birds of Prey are at least small enough to be plausible, especially with the fold-up wings, but a Miranda?
I don't care how long you've been playing. I only care about how you play.
And remember to follow the rules.
LOVE THIS ^^^
LOL for realz!!!
er yes they do get torpedoes, there equiped with Plasma Torps and HYT.
The Akira-class was designed as a torp-boat carrier. (Not as a ship build, but I mean the way the ship itself was designed)
Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.
That's why I don't do STFs anymore. Everyone and their mother flies a scimitar now and we have allied borg probes everywhere. This is so damn stupid

They are drones.. not ships itself. There's a difference :rolleyes:
