One big problem with the Scimitar , If you have the valdore cosnole an leach . an you want to run all three scimitar consoles as well . You end up with , WTB more Console slots hehe.:eek:
tho both the Ar'kiff an Scimtar are decent ships .they both fly quite differently . The Boff seating on the ar'Kiff with the Lt cmdr universal, your really forced to use that for engineering if you want any chance of survivablity an not be a glass cannon.
the Scimtar is a beast and can be a real pita to fly. It's a predator, hit an fade is where it plays well.
both ships if set up well can be alot of fun or alot of heart break if set up wrong . anways lots of good information in the thread . Best of luck an remember it's a game your here to have fun.

That is a hard one.
5 tac consoles, especially now with spire holding
3 scimitar consoles
assimilated module or romulan zero point
pla. leech
valdore console
singularity stabilizer
at least one fleet armor
such a headache :mad:
I keep removing and putting back the valdore console, i run a DHC ship, its a lot easier for beam setup.
It is great while fighting in PVE against boss ships, butt with better turning targets i dont think so.
I dont know, what do you think guys, is it worth it on DHC ship?

Depends on your loadout, basically.
If you don't use the valdore console, you want to use TSS and EPtS to keep them going.
With the console, you only really need TSS, and can use EPtW instead (which is what I do).

You're really missing out there. Being able to slip in and out of cloak, without dropping shield, and keeping your cloaked turn rate during your 15 second ambush is, really, priceless.
Don't get me wrong, the consoles, except for the cloaked shields one, are trash. The three set bonus is trash. But the two piece bonus, plus reman boff: priceless.
The Arkif is an interesting ship. It has an odd boff seating. It's not bad, but it doesn't allow for lots.
The scimitar is the most powerful ship in the game. Bar none. It's exclusive pets alone do more dps than the average stf queue pugger. It handles like an 18-wheeler, bit that's because it hits like an 18-wheeler.

meeeehhh... i got several ships, even d'd, which is sluggish like a brick. that additional uncloaked turn bonus is overrated. as well as cloaked shielding.
"dive" - get in to position - unleash the doom - spawn cleared - "dive"...
see it other way around, :
if you don't fit resists - you dead with smallest scratch.
if you don't fit 5 tac consoles - you missing whole point of flying scimitar.
that leaves the only place the sci consoles.
valdore console is a must. leech too. borg console? who ever wants to fly without it will earn my pity.
so what will you do? what should it be?
glass cannon "damage by talaron cloud" scimitar?
or "look, i do the same damage as other ships"?

Lack of resists only becomes noticeable when you're not moving.

Ar'kif is ace for a tac n once my orion empire fleet hits tier 3 it has 5 tac cobsoles it really is a killer n ive only got 2 of the new critd consoles so far

hehe. sure. i've seen nuff scimitars dieing in azura nebula rescue, aside of other maps.
they die like flies under swatter.
at least they do some damage with talaron smoke

Thats more to bad players rather than the ship itself to be fair. The scimitar needs a good captain.

I second this. I don't know how many times I've seen players do things like go into battle and not cloak first, to take advantage of the damage boost upon uncloaking... hell or even use the battle cloak at all.
Secondary shielding and cloaking has saved me more times than I care to remember...
I wont lie but it seems like the vast majority of people that buy the scimitar ships have no skill in this game and just hoped it would up their game play
I been secretly taking all the scimitars I have seen blow up for the past few months, collecting their hulls and weapons to make a proper Romulan Flagship not a REMAN flagship
