Biotech turret has a bit shorter max range than regular or flamethrower turrets, but it does way more dps and the knockback is alright if you're trying to defend an area. I think it has an easier time targetting closer targets than the flamethrower mode too.

Huh, well it turns out the Mirror Mogai is one of the worst Romulan escort warbirds. Oh well, I was planning on eventually replacing it with an Ar'kif at some point. (But I love the iridescent paint job  )I suppose the escort version of the free Ha'Ha'Ha is probably better but I can't stand to look at the thing.  The face of death.

I bought a mirror ha'apax advanced war bird the other day because it was like 200,000 EC and it may be the worst romulan ship I've flown. I have no idea what it's purpose is supposed to be.

That ship cost me next to nothing. I was going to buy an escort warbird with zen sooner or later so I decided to get this one to try my planned escort warbird loadout out. Then I looked at the front of it and

So who else is ready for dilithium weekend? Two weeks to go and I've got close to 20k marks stored over three characters. Wondering if it's worth converting them to zen prior to 9.5 release or just keeping the dilithium. Thinking it's probably better to convert what I can for future-proofing.

Bloodly posted:Crit Damage isn't especially worth it either. Crit Damage is only especially worth it if you're critting often in the first place. Romulans have a fairly significant leg up on this via Romulan Operative(1-2% per bridge officer depending on the rank of Operative. You yourself as a Romulan can also take it as a trait, it's the 1.5% version), but there ain't that much raw Crit Chance to be had in the wild. Speaking of which, all romulans should be running all superior operatives BOFFs, because having a crit chance over 25% is amazing.

So for shields, engine, and deflector, what are the choice ones there for pve? I had assumed pretty much undine now at least for engine and deflector (deflector has the damage and accuracy bonus). However, I take it from the chat last night that one of the omega rep sets is still better? Specifically, the omega force set for tetryon glider. Shields I think is still dyson, but I remember some wavering at possibly the undine being better.

Yeah the two main combos are: assimilated 2-piece + Dyson shield or Omega 2-piece + resilient elite fleet shield (ResB). The Omega setup gives you tetryon glider for extra shield damage and the assimilated gives you a fuckload of built in hull and shield regen which either lets you survive anything or be less defensive in your boff powers without dying. The undine stuff is okay and gives you some fun click powers but I don't think it's as good as the omega or assimilated combo so don't bother with it until you've got dil to burn on trying out new gimmicks.

Berke Negri posted:What is the decision point stat over whether to do beams or DHCs? Turn rate? Yeah you want a base turn rate of at least 12 before DHC's are worth the effort. The Risian corvette is the weird edge case where it goes to fast and turns too well to use DHC's effectively. For anything else look at the turn rate.

I've been dicking around with this game over the last couple of days. Seems OK, which usually isn't enough for me to like a game but this is also free so it's great value for money atm. If I want to join in with other goons who do I need to join? I'm a romulan who sided with the federation (what's up with that?) so does that mean I should try to join Starfleet dental?

Yeah get in the channel and ask there for a Dental invite of you went fed-allied. The fed/kdf ally thing is basically just a way to add Romulans without splitting the playerbase into thirds. Also it lets them join existing fleets so we don't have to grind out a third loving starbase.

Yeah for all the talk of Romulans being a "mini-faction" they almost have an entire story arc from 1-50 and a good amount of ships. Splitting them up is just to not divide the player base even more between three factions. The content they share with the factions is already stuff that 95% of the factions share with each other.

I find it annoying that there's no variety of boffs for Romulan Republic characters. Why not have a nearly equal chance of getting a Reman or Suliban recruitment mission as a Romulan one, like with the other factions? Also if you haven't tried the Plasma Piercing Beam rifle, spend some dil and get one (or pay EC for the lovely white version if you're cheap). It's amazing. A literal space machine gun that continues firing (not in bursts like the "full auto" rifle, real automatic fire) until you let go of the trigger. The range kind of sucks though.

The best thing about the piercing beam rifle is that it does exploit damage. Give the boffs a pulsewave or minigun to apply expose and then use the secondary to just vaporize stuff. The Romulan Wide Beam Rifle is okay too, its basically a split beam rifle that does damage to five targets instead of three with the secondary. I set my alts up with the stupidly cheap white Mk IX versions of the piercing beam rifle for running the voth ground battlezone and it appears to be just as good if not better than Mk XII stuff. Just turn on auto-fire and focus targets.

AFAIK there is no better one available than the Mk XI purple one from the dil store. I started a Romulan alt and the small variety of ships greatly reduces replayability for the Romulan faction. They badly need some more cruisers and science vessels, especially at lower levels. Perhaps the science vessels could even be Reman ships with warp cores instead of singularity tech, or something else to set them apart. E: Recently did a Conduit run where some rear end in a top hat pulled the nanite spheres TOWARDS the transformer. I don't know how he did it, but thanks a lot, dick.
