In this week's episode of Priority One, Executive Producer Daniel Stahl stops by to talk about Legacy of Romulus and to answer community-submitted questions.


Link to the interview.

To streamline everything, please see the thread already in progress here.

cool, listening now

Is it possible for C-Store ships to come in a bundle? The ship itself and the console is bundled so that someone w/o ship slots can get that console without the drop and switch stuff...

I mention this because Dan mentions allowing Romulans to fly ally faction ships is in part because people have paid for these ships...If we can use the consoles from an ally faction's ship without claiming the ship we'd still get one of the big benefits for buying these ships. Think the DS9 Bundle and the "Klingon DS9 Bundle".

I mention this because, honestly, we all know that when Rommies can fly ally ships that will be a big reason for never giving the Romulans starbases or full autonomy. "Can't take these things people paid for away from them" etc.

Is there a transcript?

So the allied faction ships stuff is here to stay? This is really the worst element of the expansion (even if it looks cool), and what I hate most is that you don't have the guts to say it explicitly. We're not children.

It's here to stay, Yes... but after listening to the rest, what Romulan would want a crumby FED or KDF ship anyway? What with all those cool new abilities and powers a Rommy has with a Rommy ship!

I'm not convinced at all by his arguments. The best escorts will remain the andorian ship, the defiant and the Jem'hadar bug. Many people will choose a cheap option if they can and pick a fed or kdf ship they already own, which aren't garbage at all. This faction isn't going to look Romulan at all, at least not in space. Expect a lot of Romulan tacs in odysseys.

You know, when the devs say a ship is awesome, I always remember that one day one of them said that the fleet galaxy is by far the best tank in game.

Thanks for Linking to the Thread I posted earlier <3
