Tunicate posted:Welp, time to level my unaligned rom to 50.   kafziel posted:I'm curious about this. Are you stuck in that lovely tier 1 T'liss forever, or can you still get the fancier Romulan ships? Ships: Not only do unallied Romulans not have access to the Command Center, but as an extension, they do not receive their promotion mission. As a direct result, they do not receive their free ship. Likewise, they do not have access to either allied faction's ships. However, they can still claim refits and retrofits from the C-Store. On a similar note, the only small craft they can use is the Scorpion Fighter (as the Runabout for some reason cannot be purchased; no small craft are even listed in the ship vendor), but there is no reason to use it, other than in small craft queues atl Level 50 (see Queues). Older lock box ships are also unusable (but from Voth-on, I think they work), stating either that the character is unable to use the item, or that the requirements for the item are not met. Things like the Risian Corvette and Luxury Yacht can be used, but you need to pay Lobi since you can't get to the event areas to grind the currency. Unallied Romulans are capable of using the Mirror Warbirds available through the lock boxes. Fleet ships, as can be imagined, are inaccessible due to not being allied. Queues: Unallied Romulans can enter any queue that allows for cross-faction teams. This means, sadly, that Mirror Universe queues (during the event) are inaccessible to them, which would be very useful for leveling. This is because each instance of Mirror Incursion is unifactional; that is, there is a KDF and a Fed version of the map, where the two do not overlap. At level 44/45, unallied Romulans are capable of joining Normal-difficulty STFs. At level 50, all Reputation-style queues are available to them. Fleet queues are unavailable, as they cannot be part of a fleet. They are capable of earning Fleet Marks through other queues, such as Mine Trap; however, they are unable to donate said Fleet Marks without being part of a fleet. The Tholian Red Alert also cannot be responded to. Bridge Officers: Nope. You don't get any more than the story-mission ones. Hope you have the Liberated Reman or don't mind dilithium-bought commons. Traded-over level-up Romulans from other characters work just fine, though. Duty Officers: At level 11, unallied Romulans may proceed to do duty officer missions that are available to Romulan captains of either side. Unallied Romulans are also able to do duty officer missions outside of the Tau Dewa sector block, by way of invitation to another captain's bridge. Equipment: At level 40, unallied Romulans can equip the Aegis set, just like anyone else. The set has no cosmetic effects on the ships they are applied to (no neon red/blue Tron lines). However, the cosmetic effects of the three-piece bonus (the reactive shielding) will still display. Through the Reputation system, unallied Romulans can access any item that both factions can (Omega / Assimilated sets) but not any faction-specific equipment (M.A.C.O. / Honor Guard sets). Tunicate posted:It's a bit difficult (especially without feature episodes for grinding), but given s6 it's probably worth it. Lorak fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Aug 20, 2014 |

In case you've missed it, the Crystalline Entity Event is going on. Good for marks and a decent chunk of dilithium.

kzin602 posted:Not once have I clicked that console and lived. I had to take it off my toolbar because I would accidently click it. The duplicates it summons have typical bad AI and don't have your equipment so I don't see why it needs such a harsh downside to balance it out. It's basically a less powerful Photonic Fleet... that kills you.

Asimo posted:Keep in mind there's a limited number of starship traits you can slot; I think it's four total at the moment, like with the rep traits. The passives are passive, but T5U ships get those too. Although this does make me wonder what the hell klanks and roms will do with starboat traits, considering they'll have all of two T6 ships available at launch but four trait slots.

I wonder if you can upgrade the Mk 1 and keep the original look or if they change in appearance.

To be fair, you're expecting two different races to be able to keep track of paperwork. One of them had their homeworld destroyed within the past 50 years, the other is a warrior race that puts HONOUR before all else (other than Contraband).

g0del posted:^^^ You could roll a klink and get one of their carriers, or you could roll a romulan and get a scimitar (which only has one hangar and isn't really a carrier), or buy the caitian carrier (don't do this, we will laugh and call you a furry), or buy a lockbox carrier off the exchange. However you do it you're going to want to focus on getting equipment for a beam boat, because carriers turn way too slow to use cannons.

My selection criteria, in order from most to least important: 1. Can I put Gravity Well on it? 2. Does it look good with the Reman shields on it? 3. Does it look at least decent with the M.A.C.O. shields on it? (Honor Guard shields are a given.) 4. Can I actually use Gravity Well effectively on it? The last ships I opened on Holodeck were the Voth ships, even though I own at least one of each of the ships that came out after it (and played with them on Tribble, the Try Before You Open option). That's mostly because I flew the Recluse before Romulans went live, opened one on my new primary character (Romulan Engineer), and just managed to sleepwalk through everything afterwards. I'm also fond of the following gravscorts (escorts that can fit Gravity Well), from most to least favorite: Fleet Ar'Kif Undine Nicor / Temporal Destroyer Fleet Dhelan Fleet Aquarius Light Escort Mirror Escort Retrofit (even though it can't be upgraded) Fleet Advanced Escort (I play Fed-side mostly, as the KDF gravscort options were far more limited before.)
