Invulnerable Romulans In The Mirror Universe?

Post by SiskosPimpHand »

1. I searched and didn't find this as a topic. My apologies in advance, and please point me in the right direction if my search was not thorough enough.
2. I'm 100% player, 0% modder, so please use as little "techno jargon" as possible :smile:

I've been playing Default difficulty level in the Mirror Universe as the Feds Terrans, starting at Tech level 1, and been having a good time of it. Allied with the Klingons, on good terms with the Cardassians, and well on my way to crushing the Ferengi. I'm currently into the high teens on tech research, and just on the threshold of unlocking the Sovereign-class dreadnaught mwhaaahahahaa :twisted:

Anyways, I'm at war with the Romulans (again), and I notice that I'm not really able to do much of anything against them. I first noticed it when a pair of Warbirds utterly curbstomed a mixed fleet of Miranda-class destroyer III's, Constitution light cruiser II's, and Nebula-class strike cruisers I's. At first I chalked this up to the Warbirds being veterans, and my fleet being mostly green. It became more apparent when I went up against a Romulan starbase and about 10 troop ships with an armada of Galaxy-class heavy cruisers, Nebula strike II's, destroyer II's, Intrepid heavy destroyer II's, and Defiant heavy escorts; about 60 Terran ships versus a starbase and 10 troop ships.

The Terran armada got wiped out.

I saved just before that turn (thank goodness) and tried several different scenarios and tactics, including just doing the automatic results. In both battles (warbird vs. fleet and armada vs. starbase), the Romulans got to about 15-20% shields and just...stopped taking damage. I noticed the last time I tried to run the armada battle in tactical mode that all ships involved stopped firing torpedoes, and that the Terran beam weapons (it was only Mirandas and Connies by the end) were having no effect on the Romulan starbase.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Okay, how do I do that?

As far as ship movement/instructions, in the most recent attempt, I had the fleet bypass the transports altogether and attack the starbase directly. All ships Charge the starbase. In previous attempts, I had the fast attack ships Strafe the transports (taking them out in 1 turn), Charge the starbase, and then Harry. I had the strike cruisers and command cruisers Assault the starbase 1st round while the destroyers took out the troop ships, and then Alternately Charge or Circle.

Thanks. As it turns out, this was game 6 for me also. What are the chances?

I hate to say the romulans have already maxed out on all technologies (tech 20).

while you have a lot of ships they are too low of tech to win battle.

you need to be building galaxy class and researching galaxy upgrade. these are the work horse of the federation and they have low maintenance so you can build more.

but I don't see any thing wrong with romulan starbase V stats, stats are in line with other races type 5 starbases.

For the sheer amount of incoming fire (which included Galaxy-class ships) to do *literally* nothing, seems kinda buggy to me. But okay.

starbase is level 20 stats
while
galaxy class is level 12 stats (galaxy upgrade has level 18 stats)

don't get me wrong I was surprised you did not win.

I did cheat and increased your tech levels to all 20 and allowed ships to recover from upgrade and same ships took out starbase and TT's in 3 combat turns and had very few losses.
