I realise Romulans still do not have a proper Carrier, but there are already several ships, excluding the premium ones, capable of using carrier pets. However, Romulans only have access to Hangar pets of their allies, while their only faction specific pet is locked behind a reputation.
With the release of the recent Dreadnoughts, I'd like to post three reasonable (I think) requests.
1. Add some new Romulan-only hangar bays to EC, Dilithium, and Fleet stores. I think that the Kestrel Runabout would be an obvious choice here.
2. Let KDF-allied Romulans purchase Stinger Fighters if the player owns the Kolasi on his/her account. These are the only hangar bays unavailable to KDF-Romulan players, as it currently requires having the Kolasi claimed. Personally, I have a KDF-ROM flying a JHDC and I was really disappointed I couldn't buy the new hangar, as it would really fit my current build.
3. Let the Kara/Fleet Ha'apax T6 use Romulan Drone Ships if the players owns any of the Scimitar variants. The new Dreadnought is one of the biggest ships in the game, so it being able to use the Drone Ships would certainly make it even more desirable.
I'm not sure if we can expect a proper Romulan Carrier anytime soon, but with all the recent releases of Command Battlecruisers, Escort Carrier, and the Dreadnought, all equipped with Hangar Bays, I really think the availability of hangar pets for Romulans should be looked into.

Don't agree with number two , Romulans have been homogenized into the other factions too much already they need to separate the factions more not blend them together.
Agree with point three I said that when the ship was first announced. Though technically it's an advanced warbird not a dreadnought by Romulan standards.
I was very disappointed that Nausicaans received a new fighter while Romulans hanger pets were once again ignored into obscurity.
While the Romulans should have more pets, at least the Scorpion is attainable from the Rep System as opposed to having to get to a fleet with a t5 starbase
Honestly...it's not that hard to find one these days...
Personally I find that worse really because the scorpions aren't even exclusive to Romulans anyone can get them.
Yeah I've always thought this myself...so we now have several Romulan ships that don't have any exclusively Romulan carrier pet...
Definitely sounds like it's bugged...I'd send in a report.
I wouldn't hold out much hope for that getting fixed we couldn't even get the t6 Haapax fleet discount bug fixed for buying the Kara.
...although the KDF still has quite the laundry list of missing shuttles/hanger pets, so who knows.
You know...I had never thought of the scout ship for a hangar pet before for some odd reason...now that I think of it I would love to have them!
also i think a science(ship) carrier with a secondary focus in tac, possibly with a hybrid intel seat would fit for the i dear of what the romulans were like and to aid in the protection of the new romulan home world as they do not have any thing except allies to help them defend their new space properly

something like this perhaps ^_^ nudge nudge cyptic i am helping your work out the important bits XD
Sorry. WRONG. But thanks for playing. wonk wonk wooooonk.
The Scimitar ships come with a ROM faction specific carrier ship: Scorpion Fighters
Which is locked behind the Romulan Reputation projects if you want the Elite or Advanced ones... Which ANY faction can get so Scorpions are not faction specific.
