So Romulan Ships before level 10 can choose IRW and RRW for prefixes, once you choose a side, you can use USS or IKS along with the others.

So I finished all the available missions, the final one was amazing. You can level past 21, but you can't complete the Subcommander Promotion mission after getting your new ship, that is how they gate you from the other missions.

All the federation system patrol missions are open to Romulans, you have to go to each system individually, you can't get the actual mission wrapper.

All the exploration and diplomacy missions are open for Fed aligned Romulans

I flew past a level 42 Romulan earlier, he must have a lot of time on his hands.

Not necessarily...

1. Buy XP boosters on Holodeck, transfer character to Tribble
2. Mail XP boosters from Tribble character, to Tribble Romulan
3. Run episodic content or...
4. Run Mirror Invasion during Event Hour

The Mirror Invasions could potentially earn you a ton of XP (skill points).

I thought the incursions were only for 50s?

Maaaaan...I've been waiting for a Romulan faction since the game started.......and it occurs to me that if I do a Rommie toon, I'll have a pointy ear in each faction lol

Nope. I forget the minimum level, but I know I leveled up (on Holodeck) mostly via Incursions on my latest alt.

No no, god no lol. The reason you don't get lowbies in incursion, is because there are actually different incursion instances for different levels. 10-19 has it's own, 20-29 has it's own and so on.

It's how I think stuff like fleet actions should be handled!

I think it's from lvl 5 you can do it.

Hell, and here I've been worrying about "levelling through this shit again", lol.

Added "Federation Classic", "Klingon Classic", and "Romulan Classic" color schemes.

These schemes feature lower contrast with bright button text and icons, and do not have a red alert mode.

THANK.F**K.FOR.THAT. I'll have to check that out.

This link should work:

Hmm. That's not what I thought it would be. It still seems very very dark, like the other new colour schemes. At least I can use it without feeling that I must tear out my eyeballs!

Why am I not shocked that Ms. Shill somehow magically got a closed beta key

Where'd the rolleyes smiley go?

Darkthunder · « **Reply #4015 on:** April 24, 2013, 05:55:14 PM »

I believe the people who got Beta Access were either members of the podcast/news community as well as random players who previously participated in Tribble testing.

Dstahl has said that more beta invites will be going out over the next few weeks, as well as open beta testing in Mid-May. If you haven't received an email, you should hop onto Tribble and see if you can create a Romulan.

New patch 'notes'.

Guess they're pooped from all the bug-fixing

Out of interest, is there a Bridge Commander-related fleet?

Last time I commented on such a "patch note", I was perma-banned from the forums on my main account

Wonder how long until they have to release an "Emergency server patch to undo the server fixes"
