I just watched the episode of TOS where Kirk and Spock get all sneaky and steal a Romulan cloaking device. In the episode, the Romulans were using Klingon D7s. Apparently they traded the Klingons their cloaking technology for some of the D7 class ships.

They aren't great, but I'll try throwing a Romulan captain and crew on a D7 next time I decide to roll Romulans.

I still find it weird the D7s don't cloak. I guess they did it for balance.

some Romulan painted D7's would possibly make me take a second look at attack wing,

I know Tony from waaaay back. I just could not pass up the opportunity to bust his chops.

Like flakbait says, the D7 does not cloak. For that reason alone, I'd suggest the I.K.S. Kronos One (K'T'Inga Class) as a stand in for a Romulan D7.
Yeah, it bumps up the attack value to 4 which is very "un-Romulan" in the game but the only other alternative would be to use the Klingon Flagship to get Cloak and then you're already bumping up attack anyway.

A Romulan D7, the Klingon D5 (the Bortas), an Andorian cruiser (the Kumari), and maybe the NX-02 would be a fun old school expansion wave.

Good call on the K'T'Inga Class. Looking at comparison pics online, they are essentially the same mold.

They are though the K'T'Inga Class that is in The Collective Blind boosters actually has the more detailed sculpt from Tactics. I actually had already converted a model from Tactics for the K'T'Inga class to tell them apart on the board at a glance. Good to know they will match.

Yeah tell your buddy to pony up the dough to get you more Rommy ships before you play again geesh!!

LOL. I don't think he needs to cater his purchase habits to my play preferences.

I think I'll get another game in this week. I'll probably try out the Federation.

And here I was going to give Tony a Valdore at GenCon just so he has more choices for you.

I'm providing everything else, he can pick up one or two ships...

Ok, if you insist... I guess I'll take one. For rowdy... yeah, for rowdy.
