I still don't get it, the romulan costume is called embassy or it unlocks the embassy building/game mode and what comes with the tailor

/edit

What I am asking is how many costumes are there and what are they

/edit

So that it's

1. omega

2. cross dressing in either maco or honorguard (embassy) ?

Well, I do STFs with my science character for such fun as the Physicist Kit, which is very useful. In many ways I feel more useful with that kit than I do using my Tac. Plus, whilst it's a nice one-time use (though you're right, testing with 5x Tactical Initiative would be prudent, particularly for PvP), the Medic kit still has much more niceness and is most useful when you have to solo an STF boss. Would a team of tacs be able to do that easily without the short cooldown heals the kit gives you?

Edit:

What he's saying is that Omega reputation unlocks the Omega/MACO/KHG visuals (including the new costumes for the opposite faction adapted versions that are being introduced at T5 Reputation). Romulan Reputation unlocks no extra visuals, but your Fleet's Embassy has a tailor project to unlock a Romulan costume option, which is obviously only something that you can buy at your Fleet starbase (unless the Embassy also comes with a Tailor).

Just a few notes.

There's a display bug on Tribble right now that's indicating that you'll get +30 Weapon Proficiency or Weapon Training from some of the Romulan options. These are incorrect; the alternatives to Crit Chance are Personal Shield Systems and Starship Shields Systems.

The 5% Placate here is a bug - that was there as a placeholder. The alternative to Shield Regeneration is actually a 2.5% chance for your energy weapons to proc Kinetic damage with 100% shield penetration.

Within the scope of STO, Romulans are intended to primarily use Plasma weapons. We're also adding Plasma/Disruptor hybrid weapons to the Romulan reputation system, and some NPCs may be retrofitted to use these.

Unlike Jam Sensors, this Placate proc isn't fragile, meaning you won't break it from dealing more damage.

We'll be re-implementing these eventually, but they won't be in right at launch.

One of the new suites of consoles available in the Romulan reputation system has a function similar to this. It essentially adds a Plasma proc to non-Plasma space weapons, and if you're already using Plasma space weapons it increases their raw damage. This is in addition to having other functions, such as science stat bonuses.

These are always on - they work much like investing skill points. That said, the fact that there are two powers displaying weapon skill is a bug. Sorry about that.

As mentioned earlier, this is a bug. There shouldn't be any duplicate abilities; some of these were still placeholder when the patch went to Tribble. Sorry about the confusion.

We are closely monitoring feedback from both our internal QA department and public testers on the balance of these abilities. The tier 5 abilities are intended to be powerful, but they shouldn't be game breaking.

When your fleet does the embassy, at Tier 3, they can add a tailor.

If they add the tailor, the tailor will sell you a Romulan clothing set for dilithium.

Well I didn't test it yet but as it is it should be. 15k heal is far more than any stf team should need, auto res makes dying meaningless, and 5 tacs (the most common career in game) should make the 10' CD a joke. They could theorically spam it every minute or so. Does any team need 15k hp per minute? What's the meaning of elite instances if you can just do whatever you want with an almost unlimited passive (cause once you've started it you don't even need to click it) heal?

I assume we get our choice of Tier 5 ability and not just a space science buff or medical nanites.

all these things that impact pvp in potentally huge ways....

yet not a single pvp thing can be done to earn them?

wtf?

If your only reason for playing STO is PvP, you really need to pick another game lol. PvP is bad here, this game is setup more for PvE.
