A quick and easy way to increase customization on the new Romulan ships is to give them the nacelles from existing lower tier ships.

Aelahl:
D'Deridex
Ar'kif
D'ridthau (if purchased)
Ar'Kala (if purchased)

Faeht:
Dhelan
Mogai
T'Varo
Ha'feh
Ha'nom
Daeinos (if unlocked)
Dhael (if purchased)
Valdore (if purchased)
Norexan (if purchased)
Haakona (if purchased)

    There would be nothing quick, nor easy, about this suggestion. I would love to go through and add all parts to all ships. But this would be a time-intensive task. Right now our schedule would not allow this.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Nice of you to post.

    While I understand you can't just start modeling what you'd like to, I can't not ask for, well, an acknowledgement of some need regarding mainly the KDF and Romulan Tier 6 ships. Please make it known among the leads that at least a second option for say nacelles would go a long way.

    (An example would be the Qib, from some angles, it's a nice ship. From others, the ridiculously paper thin nacelles, neck and 'head' just make it even hard to believe in the thing.)
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    I would really love to see some cool nacelle customization for the alternate factions as well. I understand how it'd be a difficult thing to do, especially if there's no time slated for it though.

    You will be happy to know that the ship team always wants to add variants. We love variants and customization. If customization doesn't happen it is because time just would not allow. Any chance we can, we advocate to get more parts in your guys' hands.

    If it was up to me every nacelle could be used on every ship...but that is not realistic for a multitude of reasons.

    Thanks for at least taking it into consideration. I understand that due to time constraints that they might go further down the list of priorities. I would hope that further down the road there is an opportunity to come back and release more options at a later date.

    Edit: I specifically put the D'D and Ar'K ships with the Aelahl as they all share the double wing that joins via the warp nacelle (the Dhael double wing joins BEFORE connecting to the nacelle). The nacelles from the Dyson variants could also fall into this category. The others I suggested with the Faeht as they are single wing (or have a single wing option) with a single connection point.

    And you, with the rest of the ship team, have my thanks for that. (Was the addition of faction materials to Dyson ships your team's work as well? Because that was a step in a very good direction.)

    We advocated for that yes.

    More customization = better. That's the ship teams motto.

    Monetise it! I'm sure you'd get a lot of people willing to put 200 Zen in for a new nacelle option on their favourite ships.

    Did that have anything to do with a certain individual's photoshopped forum signature displaying a simulation of what faction materials might look like on the KDF/Rom Dyson ships? :P

    And again thank you very much for putting more options into our hands.

    Couldn't you just hire more people or put that later on your work schedule?

    On further thought. When you guys have the time to go back to ship customization, it would be nice to have the weapons/sensor pod on the upper wing from the D'ridthau on the Aelahl, Ar'Kif, and the Dyson Psi-Bird. Likewise, it would be nice to have the lattice wings from the Dyson Warbird on the D'Deridex and the Aelahl and the Ar'Kif.

    When you have the opportunity to revisit those ships.
