In a PvE only game, with NPC's that crawl at 5 miles an hour, this ship and it's abilities are pretty terrible.

Hit me up if your on and you'd like to help me do play testing, I think some of the abilities are bugged.

Designs feel flopped this time around. Now the KDF ships look kinda badass, the FED are still "meh," and now the Rommie ships are ugly as sin. Maybe the middle one is okay. Those KDF ships are surprisingly cool looking with that black skin. But again how do these "pilot" ships work? I'm still very confused about this mechanic.

Yeah that was the only one (of the Rommie ships)I liked as well, but I like that one a lot.

I bought them today and I can say I like them minus the sub space eddy's console. The three pice adds 33% dmg boost to cannons and turrets (bout a 100 dps over all per cannon). Their dash mechanic are really cool. Killed a cube right next you you? Dbl tap the s key and boom! Out of range of that breach. The science and tac consoles do a good amount of dmg. I hit both on the voth citadel ship in borg disconnected and took a good 15% of its hull off with it having most of its shields up. In gateway to grethor I hit them both again and took out 7 of those raiders in one shot. They are first ships I bought since DR hit and I'm pleased with my purchase.

What do the consoles do if I may ask? Well the Sci and Eng ones...the tac one is pretty cut and dry.

The science one puts a type of grav well 8 km in front of you (not at your target) it then pulls all baddies in from 7km from the well then deals some good damage. The pull is almost instant and if they are in range it will pull them to the center of the grav well. Also boosts exotic damage as a passive as well.

Dang...makes me real conflicted lol...more and more I think I want the pilot set :P and I know for sure some day I want the Command Cruiser set...

Probably take me forever with the constant rise of converting Dilithium to Zen.

I got the raptor set and yeah I've dropped to the two piece bonus because I didn't like the eddy. Now other than that I love em. At first I was doing cannon but without using multiple versions of lock on I was having trouble keeping it on point without cutting engines. (Which is so not the point with the ship) so I threw a set of crtd ap beams o had sitting on an alt....now its like I'm in my nicor beamacort again but its dancing across the screen. Add in firing increase from the rederect weapon power with bfaw its nasty. Also enjoying the link up ability. If I link with another pilot or an escort at full impulse I can almost squeeze another 15% DMG. Still trying out other skills but so far I'm enjoying it.

Right now using the TAC version but I plan to master all three for traits than pick a primary. Thinking about sci one so that I can have a gw to go along with the insta gw lite from the console

I'm conflicted...honestly I think I'd kinda want to go for the KDF ones since they're so beautiful and deadly! I just feel like the Romulan ships are getting the short end of the stick recently when it comes to looks.

(I used to really like the Romulan Command ships till I saw them up close and I really don't like the sudden dip in the neck...on the Tac one it looks really out of place.)

I love the look of the KDF ships, but I don't have a KDF alt high enough for them yet. I picked up the Fed tactical ship, and while it's fun to fly around, and I do like the dash mechanics, I think it's ugly as hell.

The Science Warbird looks amazing, but I'm not really enamored of the other two designs, which is sad. Tyber may be my main, but I really do love playing Rom.
