This is just a thread for me and any allies to Keep track of current Romulan Serpantol Imperium Research. Most of it will be conducted by the Tal Shiar, an Intelegence and Black ops Group with in the RSI. This is an OOC Thread therefor, can not be used as public knowledge against the RSI at any point unless declaired other wise. Questions and Comments are welcome.

With the recent alliance between the RSI Tal Shiar and the Borg of Blackgrue, several new advancements in ship technology have come to the attention of the Tal Shiar. One of these new Tal Shiar designed vessels is the Borg Hybrid Warbird.

Borg Refited D'deridex Class Warbird (Battleship) (http://webpages.charter.net/durst95/BorgWarbird.JPG)

The D'deridex class or Warbird as it is known to the Romulans, is among the largest and most powerful starship in the Romulan fleet. The sight of a Warbird decloaking is often the fastest way to initiate a surrender of her enemies. While not as manuverable as some of her new counterparts, what it lacks it makes up for in fire power. The Borg Refit is equiped with Borg Hybrid Rengenerative Armor and Adaptive Shielding. It is also equiped with and added sigularity core to assist with the massive energy needed for these up grades. This extra power core also allows the vessel to be equiped with a Reman designed Advanced cloaking device that allows the ships shield to remain up and the weapons to fire while cloaked. The added features have upgrade this varient of the Warbird to a battleship classification. At this point the Vessel will only enter service with the Tal Shiar. However, this design is a stop gap messure befor creating a more complex and fully intigrated Romulan Borg Hybrid Vessel, and will most likely enter service with the main stream fleet when the final ship is complete.

The Tal Shiar is prepairing to begin its next phase in intergrating Borg technology into their ships. While the Borg/Romulan Hybrid Warbird was a farly strait forward and simple design to upgrade the infamous Romulan D'deridex class Warbird the BlookHawk design is a new vessel built from the ground up. It will take considerable time to finish these design and bring it to full scale production for use by Tal Shiar Forces. Presenting the BloodHawk Strike Cruiser;

BloodHawk class Strike Cruiser (http://webpages.charter.net/durst95/BloodHawk.JPG)

The BloodHawk class Strike Cruiser is one of the newest and most powerfull ships in the RSI fleet. Designed and Built by the Tal Shiar using newly equired Borg technology, it is also the most technologicly advanced. It combines all the features of Romulan, Reman, and Borg designs to create a true workhorse of War. Her relatively small size and speed combined with firepower, shielding, and Armor and ECM capablities make her a fearsome beast to face. The entergration of all the various technologies has given her a greenish-blue color tone which differs greatly from the traditional Romulan Green. The Blood hawk is capable of fireing while cloaked as well as having its shield up, makeing her a perfect match for the stealth tactics prefered by members of the Tal Shiar. It is believed that this vessel will never be issued to any officers not directly under the Control of the Tal Shiar Service. And that it will be constantly upgraded with new technoloyies as they are aquired by the Tal Shiar using most any means to get it.

the Probability Drive is a wank and god mode,no doubt aobut it when you can impossibly mess with Probability like that your a god moder i recomend you dump it and switch too coixal warp like me. (this is not a flame just advice ive been here before i got flamed to hell)

Well, I got the technology from Godular. As far as being a god mod, well as with anything it is how you use and RP it.

well maybe so but more experienced rpers will ignore it, I for one consider it a major god mode because it messes with chance that’s some thing q can only do, but what ever floats, I’m not ignoring you entirely just that piece of tech.

I think you have potential as well I don’t want to see a nation like you focus on tech more than rp ability because rp ability is what counts nay one can just ignore tech. the only reason I post specs is for reference

Well, Thank you for your advice. I think I will continue to use it untill I come up with something else. As well thank you for saying I have potential. Despite my low number of posts, I have been on NS for a long time observing and RPing some.

As for technology, I believe that it should be based on the RP. For example; SW vs ST technology, People always argue over which is more powerfull, but in the long run I dont think it matters. Its how you RP it, all they would have to do is say that certain ships are equal but that will never happen because people love to argue.

So, other then the Drive, are there any comments on anything else about the ships?

besides that there pretty cool ships.

Thank you.

I designed the probability drive. I gave it its pros and cons. It is actually somewhat slower than other drives due to calculation times required to initiate transit. Its short-range capabilities are quite widespread, and it has an added bonus of being nigh-unstoppable by FTLi due to the fact that completion of transit is very much a completely natural occurence.

Its the INITIATION of transit that's the issue, as a simple gravity well causes the calculations to mess up due to the fact that there's a gravity well, but no requisite mass distribution.

It doesn't so much delve directly into probability, as it creates a bubble of space around the vessel where the laws of physics have been altered to the point where a sudden poof to a pre-selected point in space in the next few milliseconds is essentially inevitable.

Its a very much unique little drive, with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
