Legacy of Romulus Dev Blog #16

Romulan Warbird Stats



In previous Dev Blogs regarding Romulan Warbirds, we have detailed the design schemes behind their unique singularity mechanics and esthetic virtues, as well as given brief descriptions of the overall design philosophy behind the Warbird class and the various ships that fit that category.

But now, at last, it’s time to get down to details.

In the following Dev Blog, we will be detailing the exact statistics and specifications of each Romulan Warbird available to captains in the Romulan Republic.

Before we share these details, it’s our pleasure to take this opportunity to announce the addition of two new Subadmiral I Rank (Level 40) vessels that will be made available for Romulan Captains. These starships will be eligible for purchase using your free Rank-Up Token or Dilithium, and will also have Fleet Variants available for players belonging to fleets that are in possession of high-tier Starbase Shipyards.

Ha’nom Guardian Warbird and the Ha’feh Assault Warbird

Both of these vessels are based upon the designs used to develop the Ha’apax Advanced Warbird, and so share many of the same esthetic details. However, unlike the Ha’apax, which favors Cruiser-like stats, the Ha’nom Guardian Warbird is a true Science Vessel, while the Ha’feh Assault Warbird can be outfitted and flown in a manner matching existing Escorts. Their complete stat details are listed further below in this blog.

Update! With the addition of these vessels becoming available for Subadmiral I Rank Romulan Captains, the T’varo Retrofit and Dhelan Retrofit have been upgraded from Subadmiral I Rank to Vice Admiral Rank vessels. This is consistent with Retrofit starships across all factions.

And now, without further ado, it’s our pleasure to reveal the complete statistical information on the fearsome Warbirds of the Romulan Republic.

It is important to keep in mind that the information in this blog is subject to change, as we are still undergoing testing on all of these ships, and accepting player feedback from those that have flown them on our Tribble Test Server.
