FINALLY! A Romulan-themed GROUND SET!

edited April 2015 in Romulan Discussion
At long last, we have a ground set to call our own!!!!

Interesting, though, that the Romulan Imperial Navy Set is a 3-piece set with NO WEAPON. Just a shield, armor, and kit frame.

I know we know little about it, but what do you guys think?!

    Now I would also like a unique kit module with the kit. Maybe:

    Tactical: Plasma/Photon Hybrid Grenade MK XII
    Engineering: Plasma Mine Barrier MK XII or Plasma Bomb MK XII
    Science: Plasma Induction Field MK XII

    How does that sound?

    I agree that it's probably a good thing that there is no weapon with this set.

    I was kinda hoping there would be... maybe an uber-special Nanite Disruptor weapon or something... but, since my Rommy runs with both Romulan Plasma and Nanite Disruptor weapons... I won't have to choose. :)

    And, if I want to get multiples for my BOFFs? Now that's an option.

    I thought that read: Plasma/Proton Hybrid Grenade.

    I drooled a little at the thought of Protonic Plasma. :P

    Upgraded to Mk XIII, still less impressive than KHG armor at Mk XII.

    No visuals, unless you need the entire set to get them.

    I declare the set a failure.

    I'm interested. I think it's neat that this is a kit as set item #3 instead of a weapon.

    That said, they probably didn't do a weapon because A) plasma flamethrower is already a thing in the rep system, and B) the existing rep Romulan weapons are pretty great.

    Hoping for a costume unlock... but at the same time wondering what the heck it'll be? We haven't seen any kind of armour for the Romulans in canon before.

    though similar to the 24th century one this is slightly different

    I was thinking that, as well as the Nemesis style uniform.

    But, those are cloth uniforms. I wouldn't expect an armour/shield/kit set to have a cloth visual but... hey, if they want to give the DS9 or Nemesis uni styles out, I am 100% all over that like Eppoh's on grass.

    set doesn't mention anything about a tailor unlock... much sadness :( I was really hoping for something like a praetorian guard armor or such

    It'd be nice if they added the Borg Integral Frequency Remodulator as a set bonus to this, so I don't have to use Starfleet/KDF weaponry and armour for my Romulans.

    Well, it's a free failure, at least. Also, this is (as far as I know) the first ground set to have one piece of it be the kit.

    This unfortunately maintains the trend begun by the Romulan reputation sets - the impulse/shield/deflector ship set - that supposedly makes high yield plasma torpedoes faster (not really) and give a smattering of fairly boring bonuses with the capstone being increasing your maximum shield hp for a little bit (it mostly just hides your ship behind oval lines running across your shields).

    Nah, second.

    First being the Undine gear. But that set was 4 piece.

    I am kinda wondering what the kit stats are though.

    I am going to be Pissed if this set Doesn't have a visual o.O, Been waiting a Long time for a Good Romulan ground set and we finally get 1 and there isn't a Visual ? Hopefully its a tailor unlock when you get the whole set >.>. Other wise this is a waste of time getting the set.

    How many tech upgrades did it take?

    I just checked my armor... went from Mk XI to XII for free, but to go to Mk XIII, I have to put in over 240,000.

    That doesn't sound right...

    As much as I want a Romulan ground set, and a Romulan Task Force Omega ground set, I'm kind of happy this set, that all factions can get, doesn't have a a costume unlock with it, as we don't need our limited Romulan themed costumes further diluted by giving them to everyone.

    Hopefully there will be a Visual unlock just like with the last featured episode.

    Not less Impressive to KHG MK XII IMO ,but here is a Stats Pic thar compares the Rep armor stats [KHG,MACO] with the 2 Free sets so far[RIN , Jem].

    I rather enjoy the RIN armor atm especially since I can get it and the shield at level 10 next week when Delta Recruitment starts. Of course YMMV. ;)

    The new armor have 240.990 points to upgrade (16.4 very rare upgrade tech's) from mk xii to mk xiii.
    Dyson heavy combat armor have 70.862 points (5.5 very rare upgrade tech's) from mk xii to mk xiii.
    So its a nice armor but i will give it to a Bo and don't upgrade it (will cost to much to get it to epic)

    That is likely a bug.

    the running theory in the bug forum is that all the TP from the "free" upgrade the armor gets from mkI to mkXII are 'pushed back' onto the upgrade to mkXIII. There was a post somewhere that one guy actually paid out the TP to make it XIII and the cost to go to XIV was 140k so the theory has merit.

    That makes some sense, I suppose... I hope they fix it.

    Yeah, the RIN set is pretty good. I tend to use the JemHadar armor a lot and it's actually not a bad comparison.

    The JH set has MUCH better HP regen, but well, that's what the JH set does. The RIN set actually has better resists than the JH set, even when you leave out the plasma resist.

    A real shame that it's yet another set of 'max one per character' items.

    Heaven forbid one might want to equip it on their away team.

    The lack of visuals is vexing as well.

    YAY! The armor is fixed!

    I got the shield & armor to Mk XIV, but got no rarity upgrade. :(

    Anyone know if the mods are fixed at rarity upgrade?
