So it's been 4 years since the Gagarin hit STO and Romulans only have 4/4 MW cruisers, and big slow turning boats at that.
Any possible chance at some point in the next I dunno 5 years we can actually see a 5/3 MW warbird with decent turn? Or is it just ruled out and Rom boats can't get MW with 5/3?
Would also like to bring up that Singularity cores are still terrible, and Romulan cruisers lack cruiser commands.. but perhaps just keeping it about getting a decent MW ship would be in order

However that is not to say I wouldn't mind seeing the Romulans get a bit more love.
"Warbird" is just a catchall for Romulan warships because of the paint job, what is now called the T'liss was identified as a "Romulan light cruiser" in the original script (not the dialog, the descriptions imbedded in the script), so technically they do have cruisers even though they are generally slightly smaller and more cramped inside than the ones fielded by the Federation and the Klingons.
True, the singularity powers are great if you know when and how to use them, even if they are not meta for the DPS record chasers.
> A MW Warbird with 5/3 weapon slots would be appreciated. A question, though. How many 5/3 Rom ships are already ingame? I use the Rom Temporal Warbird because I like it. It has 5/3 weapon slots. I think the Mogai does as well. The Gagarin is available through the unlock, isn't it? Although showing some love to the Rommies and the Klinks is waaay over due.
As far as I can recall the kholar temporal warbird is the only 5/3 in the romulan lineup outside the scimitars. The morrigu is a 4/3.
And any fed ship can be flown sure but that's besides the point. All federation ships could be replaced by Babylon 5 ships but I don't think many players would like that

I disagree the sing powers are not worth being down 40 power vs a warp core ship on top of draining themselves on use.
It's such a performance drop flying romulan vessels
The reduction in raw energy level is balanced by other things if you build with it in mind so it really is not a handicap, it is just a different style. And part of the style is the antithesis of the usual meta one of triggering powers as often as possible since you need to keep the singularity charge reserve high for the benefits it provides but have the option to flush it for escapes or other tactical needs, so players thinking like they would for other factions often hate it.
Romulan ships are more like submarines than surface ships (which makes sense since that is what they were originally based on.
In missions and other solo scenarios they can be played to advantage that way, but power creep makes it difficult to use the cloak that way in TFOs because the other players mow down the enemy so quickly. It is one of the tactical complications that happen when playing Romulans compared to the other factions and adapting to the needs of the style is part of the fun and challenge.
As I said, both Klingon and Romulans are waay overdue. The Gagarin has things beside a 5/3 weapons layout to offer. And we already have Babylon 5 ships ingame. The Vorgon Carrier. The Aelahl Light Warbird. That new abomination, the Compiler. "When a V'Ger and a Battlecrab love each other very, very much..." XD
Then combined with MW which is supposed to be a generalist/engineering focused (mostly) vessel for said offensive 5/3 layout on a ship type which is balanced with a lower energy output...
You sir must be a dancer because you are moving all over the place.
Sarcasm aside i would personally be fine if ships with a 5/3 no longer appear.
the appeal is 2 omnis and torpedo, and not having a regular beam array back there
The omni meta has long been left behind, why cling onto such a dated setup.
Unless you are flying a brick with the handbrake on there is nothing an omni can do which cannot be done better with a beam array.
Edit: i like using single cannons in thematic builds, but I'm not asking for specific ship setups so they can shine.
That's why in my opinion it's a one trick pony.
