    Here are some before and after images that we took for this specific project*:


    Image 1 - Before
    Image 1 - After

    Image 2 - Before
    Image 2 - After


    *Note: Visuals from some of the past unlocks may be present in these screens, but they would be present in both the 'before' and 'after' photos.

    The comparison shots are nice, and I suppose this is an ok fleet optional, but to be honest, anything after the balcony upgrade has been kind of.. meh. Most of these feel like they're trying to mimic Joint Command too much. Whereas the Balcony it was a case of "oh wow I can see everything from the tip of this platform, that's actually pretty cool", everything else... eh.

    I still applaud you for your work, I just wish there was more "wow" factor going into some of these spire upgrades. Like the balcony.

    So what extra function does this provide, worth 200K dil? None... I know

    *raises eyebrow* 200K Dilithium for a few banners? Really? And this right here sort of illustrates the whole problem with the Romulans presented in game. Note the lack of any Romulan insignia here? And what Romulan flare do we get anywhere else either? I mean yeah I'm thankful the Romulans are in game and all but........some acknowledgement would be nice.

    So the Romulan Republic is leading the Dyson Joint Command and yet the banners are Fed and KDF. This is why we need our own fleets and holdings. We're the one's running everything and they can't even give us banners.
    Like the Romulan Alliance System? Of course you do, it sounds fine to you because you aren't Romulans, you're FED or KDF who are going to make a Romulan alt, it makes a HUGE difference in perspective.

    As these Federation and Klingon Fleets are: A) invited gests of the Romulan Republic and B) swelled their ranks with Romulan Republic Officers, there should be Republic iconography, banners and consoles supplementing the FED/KDF ones in every Fleet Spire.

    I'll try to support my fleet, but I'm doing the winter events from log in to log out every time I get to play. This morning I made a KDF Tac to claim the B'Rolth; the Dark Knight Rises!

    A holodeck with shooting ranges and other programs would really be what makes the spires feel like home and adds more dimensions of utility. Some Space Combat to try out ship builds!

    Totaly agree with the vibe w00t just a set of Banners for 200k and then the most importend Romulan are not part of it?

    serious who is runing the Operation Romulans or those upstart Klingons and Federation goons?

    Well i get over it that we ain't have any Cardasian Banners ingame for our Fleet Holdings but well just dreaming there.

    So yes still on it give Romulan the credit where credit is due.

    Powa to da Romulans!

    I just open a new browser window and C/P the url. Clearing the cache is too much work just to load one page. (clearing the cache is a VERY temporary fix)

    Cool, bit of spire decoration :) Just wondering though when KDF gets a project to get a spire maid to clean up all the empty mugs in our lounge, no way I'm picking them up!

    There's a reason why it's called Joint Command. We're all sharing in the contributions to exploration and defense of the Sphere. The Republic doesn't have total ownership or control of the entire Sphere. Conquest is not D'tan's way. He is the consummate diplomat and will not get in the way of the KDF or Feds staking claims in the Sphere when there's probably many thousands of Spires out there for the taking. Romulans have control of HQ and the gate. That's a lot right there.

    This is becoming ridiculous, it adds nothing to the game nor expands it just like the Dyson Sphere that was released, enough of this and give us something that expands the universe along with a territory system of some sorts.

    It provides 200K FC, of course.

    Because these are FLEET spires. Joint Command is where all the Romulan banners are. And Fleets are Fed/KDF, as there are no Romulan fleets, since Romulans are just a fraction.
