This is currently true. That said, the T5 Romulan consoles are trending to be universal. You can equip the T5 D'Deredex console on any ship and the same is true for the Dehlan T5 console. Soon, as each one appears in a lock box, you will be able to equip each T5 console on any ship.
I don't think there is an episode to replay. level 5 would have been the tutorial planet and that is it. This definitely needs to go to the bug forum. Nobody should have to replay an episode in order to unlock future missions.
I also fly a D'deridex in Kerrat like Veg. I fly it exclusively. for power, I have pewed many escorts faster than they could pew me....except the JHAS :(
If you are unwilling to use skills, traits or consoles to improve your turn rate, even slightly, then play an escort. I know I have popped many many many of those using my "slow" and "lumbering" D'deridex. BC works great in elite STF. The big thing about high yield torps is that they dissipate after a while. My ship is a…
They can go from 15-50M for cross faction DOFF's. It really depends on the buyer and also if you already claimed it or not. If it is unclaimed then your buying pool is much larger since they get to CHOOSE what type (gorn, naussican, Orion) and what class (tac, engi, sci) they get for their money. You probably won't get a…
The Big D is a great ship even at Commander. The problem is most of the player population comes into the Romulan faction with minimal or ZERO cruiser experience. The Big D is not an escort. Your movements are not a reaction to your enemy you are anticipating their next move. You can fit the ship with either beams OR a…
You know, I really do agree it should have a battle cloak. It should be in the form of a 3 piece TACTICAL console set where each console gives a bonus to Chroniton Torpedo. Equipping 2 pieces gives a buff to stealth and the 3 piece set gives a battle cloak and a -10 to all power levels. I think that would be an amazing…
odd you should mention that. My Retrofit D'deridex has flattened pretty much every kind of ship (except JHAS) in PvP. I also did it all without a good space set (MACO, OMEGA, Borg set etc) Romulan ships are great and I wouldn't trade mine for anything. That said they also have some glaring weaknesses too in the power…
The cool thing about that cruiser is you can have it do anything you want. The Uni cmdr slot gives you full command of your ship to allow you to fill any role you wish. I would prefer beams on that ship with FAW. In the end though pick what sounds the most fun.
I feel the real problem with the price tags on these holdings is the obtainable gear you get for unlocking it. Starbases: you get 10% bonuses and extra console slot ships (sometimes with 1 tweaked BOFF slot) and access to special MK XII weapons and space sets. Embassy: you get access to Mk XII specialized science consoles…
The C-store, shipyard, STO wiki all say it has a LT uni slot and a Science Lt Commander. If it IS misinformation as you say then it is a gross error in 3 reputable locations, two of which are official. Unless some other people come into the thread stating otherwise or Screenshots then yes, the Tvaro is the only ship that…
The T'varo is by far the more versatile ship. It has a Lt com uni which lets you lay the ship out like a Dhelan or a Mogai. The ship also has the ability to be a Stealth Bomber if you choose to do so AND a nice 2 piece set bonus: 1 launches a large AOE torp and the other resets your singularity for use. The Dhelan has a…
Obviously everyone plays the game and does things to have a good time, have fun and win. The people who fill that category are already doing that. This thread said "PvP needs you." The things I listed are items that would bring more players into the mix. I enjoy a good immersive factional war. We don't really have one…
The problem with PvP in STO is it has no point. You join a match, you play the round and then it is over. We have no leaderboards to give fame or noteriety, there isn't any useful items to gain and when you zone out the game largely acts like there ISN'T even a war happening. Most of the PvE STF's you will join will have…
I run the Tachokenetic converter and the 2 piece set and I find it does great to increase the DD turn rate. The key is to slot an engi ensign power as Emergency to Engines 1 and if you can afford it, Helmsman trait. Doing that should give you near constant uptime with power to engines and evasive manuvers for your turning…
Or a variant of this is to put an 1 beam array and/or torpedoes in your aft to do decent damage to units that hit your flank. My favorite is a beam array and a cluster torpedo to keep fighters and small frigates at bay while I stay on the bigger stuff.
I was originally going to go KDF with my Romulan but then I visited the KDF forums a week before launch. The reason my Romulan went fed is because of all the negativity in the KDF forums. Maybe your communities are not like that IG but I did not want to take that chance since this is my main. If the KDF forums were a bit…
Honestly I do not understand the issues people are having with the DD and cannons. When you decloak with the DD you are NOT doing it at 5km, you are doing it at 10KM. You can stay on target for your ENTIRE alpha strike and enough time to cycle it TWICE before you have to worry about position. Then you can pick your…
I've opened 20 boxes total since the launch of the game. All 20 were yesterday. My original goal was just to get the lobi (4-5 per box) and get half the lobi I needed for a console. I ended up getting a ground trait, 4 DOFF codes, 10 DOFF packs and an adapted destroyer. Turned out to be a pretty good setup and I still am…
I see lots of threads about leechers and to be honest I typically only see them in simple missiions like Azura, Fleet marks events and normal STF's. I solely pug elite STF's and there are plenty of competent people who play them. Once in a while I will get a team that just doesn't belong there but on the whole leechers in…
I was going to take my Rom to the KDF side initially. It had nothing to do with consoles, powers or anything it simply felt right. The constant complaining and whining in every klingon forum has really made me change my mind. I really don't want to play with a group that is so focused on these small petty things that they…
This. Pretty much all the fed consoles are garbage so of course Klingons will be getting TRIBBLE in return it's all the federation has to offer. Second, nobody is getting your elite Disruptors. Elite Disruptors secondary proc does MORE dmg to shields. The nanite disruptors secondary proc lets x% of dmg bypass shields. You…
Back during launch I made a T4 Intrepid with a "Romulan" Plasma setup complete with complete blue Mark X arrays/beam banks and a same level Plasma torp. Back then this wasn't as simple to come across as today. I am tempted to build a Bellephroon Romulan-Hybrid vessel as a "stolen prototype" for my captain. We'll see how…
