I am one of the few who used kras to troll base crackers while online. He works against khan as well and disrupts most base cracking crews. I really love seeing the tests with Rom on the Pilam. The carnage on round one is crazy
Rom is the Ferengi version of Phil Swift: "That's a lot of damage!" Rom may not himself benefit from synergy, but he provides the same Engineer synergy to other Ferengi officers as Fess does but without the penalty. No bonus either, since you'd never use Rom for his officer ability and not put him in the captain's chair, but that's still better than the penalty for using Fess for synergy.
Got him after absolutely winning the lucky tokens. Tested him yesterday, with Kirk and hWorf (on the ent). Works very very well! Also very well against bases with ships in them.
Just unlocked Rom this morning... super excited to try him out and see how he works. Still need to figure out how the Rom burn will work and how it's effective but that's on me as a n00b to become proficient. Great video as always Rev!
I'm going to be 8 shards short. How do you get event officers (Gowron, Quark, Lursa, Rom, etc.) after the event ends? I've never seen them in any packs, every once and a while there's a purchase option for HG Worf but that's it.
Scopely math has completely done my head in on this 1. Love rom's ability but too many variables be it rounding up "or" down for me to Try and make it work
Rom with Khan Marcus, punish bases, Rom is awesome I got to get my fat mudd built up never use him Feel like an idiot, I never thought of useing hg warf for hitting bases Learned a lot awesome video
I am still wondering who crews my station I have station officers but no station officer slots I always thought as I lvled up my station that would be a feature that opened up but hey missed opportunity for game design.
I mean sure if you got half a day to waste to look for a base to even hit I’m sure he is useful. I got him unlocked but seeing as how often you can find a base to even hit the chance I use him will be nill because I don’t have that time.
What If you have Rom on a ship and Kras on another ship both on station along with the station defense, this mean player won't have to raise his shield again unless big whale attacking
One of my buddies on my server got Rom. Event tested him against my base while I used Kras. My only gripe is that I still haven't unlocked a single Ferengi officer, and it's going into the last Battle Pass overflow of the arc. Only way I can guarantee getting one is to buy a pack. It'll be forever before I see Rom helping me break a base 😒
What lvl is Mudd in this video. I have mudd T2 an he never procs … ever. I’ve tried different ships with Rom, Mudd an HG Worf an mudd just don’t work for me
Hi Rev, thank you for great videos that have considerably helped me in the game. I now have a question, I bought a new Hauwei phone only to learn afterwards there is no play store on it, and I cannot get STFC working due to its dependance on it for billing. How can I petition Scopely to add support for this platform?
And update 10min, 4hr, and 24hr chests and daily elite rewards chests. How about adding rare/epic armada directives to the algorithm for the 24hr chest. Or even putting them in them in the elite daily rewards chests (which desperately need to be updated, 12uncommon G3 mats gets you nowhere).
do you think we will get an actual base crew instead of having to put these kind of crews on our ships to protect our bases, and yes I know that rom of course has to go on a ship
What about us lower level players? I used rom and a hull breach crew with Gorkon and got my butt killed fast, I have a borg crew and hardly take damage with the mitigation. I don’t have any burning officers worth a spit. Level 29, I do have Kirk/Spock but doubt they help
I'm not sure your question, Myk. Rom works great at all levels, but depends on what you're doign. He's more designed to help you take on bases that are far strong than you normally could crack .
@@RevDeuce yes I used him for that but there were ships in the second one I cracked and ended up losing my Bortas. The first had no ships and only a 3 minute repair bill. I hit a level 26 and a level 27, I’m level 29.
That makes sense. Rom is more geared towards you "punching up" and taking on say a level 35 player base you might normally not attempt. But the rewards would obviously be greater!
Maybe it's just my server, but I don't see the benefit to raiding at higher levels. I'm 49 and the amounts of par, trit and dil I need would require weeks or raiding, and nothing else. That's way too much time and effort. Maybe if there were some bases with a hundred billion or so rss, that were also unshielded and I use my Amalgam, but those unicorns don;t come round often. Also, at higher levels, you get greater amounts of rss from events, dailies and swarm. Rom's definitely nice for synergy with other Ferengi, but not something I will prioritize. PS: If I'm unshielded, I'm on. You can hit my base all you want, I'll just set a shield. Again, maybe it's just that my server has good shield discipline, but it doesn't make sense to smash your ship against a base who's owner is online.
Whales can pretty much one shot my base in 1 Round with a G5 ship, Rom lets them do it without needing to repair their ship lol - Shield or share people!

"there IS a way to counter"... ummm yeah it's called a SHIELD. Unless scopely starts giving a reason to leave a base unshielded (successful defense chests or something)... a shield should always be active.
game is almost un playable since last arc update. shocking lags. can play with android phone, and blue stack. and pc version is the only option, which is also bad
I was excited for Rom's ability when I first saw it. But seeing it in action...wow. My only gripe is the ability doesn't fit Rom.
Agreed, on the show Rom was more of a engineer.
I believe that it's his engineering background from the show is what the devs are using as a basis for ability
Was a great discussion last night Rev. Thanks for the short version... although the math on @DJz show last night was great as well.
Great video and breakdown. Nice to hear you on the podcast yesterday.
I am one of the few who used kras to troll base crackers while online. He works against khan as well and disrupts most base cracking crews. I really love seeing the tests with Rom on the Pilam. The carnage on round one is crazy
Haven’t heard from you in a while deuce just checking in to say what’s up brotha
Can't wait to unlock Rom. Awesome video bud 👍🏽
Rom is the Ferengi version of Phil Swift: "That's a lot of damage!"
Rom may not himself benefit from synergy, but he provides the same Engineer synergy to other Ferengi officers as Fess does but without the penalty. No bonus either, since you'd never use Rom for his officer ability and not put him in the captain's chair, but that's still better than the penalty for using Fess for synergy.
Glad you left out the extension factor and that counter too, got to leave some secrets.
nice! thanks for the info Rev
Any time!
Rom is the card of the year.
Got him after absolutely winning the lucky tokens. Tested him yesterday, with Kirk and hWorf (on the ent). Works very very well! Also very well against bases with ships in them.
Shield or Share ! Good vid !
Kras definitely helps with raid defense. I was worried about those whales just pounding everyone with Rom to keep anyone from defending.
A true whale doesn't need rom to tear you a new one. Rom is more beneficial when you're punching up. and there are ways around Kras.
best counter against ROM is Don't forget to shield
I find him best on the Enterprise, Rom, Old Mudd and Kirk. With this I get every base open
Just unlocked Rom this morning... super excited to try him out and see how he works. Still need to figure out how the Rom burn will work and how it's effective but that's on me as a n00b to become proficient.

there are several officers that only do there best at a base BUT there are not slot for base officers. Another wrinkle to base def/raiding
morning rev dev vid!
Morning!
Scopely math has completely done my head in on this 1. Love rom's ability but too many variables be it rounding up "or" down for me to Try and make it work
Great video.
This may be a foolish question but its one I have to ask. Wonder how Rom might work on the Sarcophagus along with Kuron?
If I had rom, those bigs that stay unshielded wouldn't for long
Rom with Khan Marcus, punish bases, Rom is awesome
I got to get my fat mudd built up never use him
Feel like an idiot, I never thought of useing hg warf for hitting bases
Learned a lot awesome video
I am still wondering who crews my station I have station officers but no station officer slots I always thought as I lvled up my station that would be a feature that opened up but hey missed opportunity for game design.
They go on ships in your station
I'd like to see a video about how to find bases to raid without dying of boredom. The search for raid-worthy bases is the primary reason I don't raid.
have found the fastest way is raid collectively 5 people can search the map very effectively in our alliance
Also what do you think about Riker bev and wolf for armadas ?
I mean sure if you got half a day to waste to look for a base to even hit I’m sure he is useful. I got him unlocked but seeing as how often you can find a base to even hit the chance I use him will be nill because I don’t have that time.
He will surely be good on Sallies when at highest level. :)
I'd love to see rom hgw and Harrison
@rev does Kuron get any bonus shots from Rom?
any idea on how he will be sourced if we are shy on shards?
The only thing that pisses me off is that I have 34k in st Patrick day points and forgot to use them lol
Does anyone know when the North Star is going to be in shop. Been waiting on it for a little bit but don’t know when it appears
What If you have Rom on a ship and Kras on another ship both on station along with the station defense, this mean player won't have to raise his shield again unless big whale attacking
Also there needs to be a way to clean out our inventory
Got a little confused here, it's main ability only triggers vs. stations, so whyäs "realta burn" back in the game?
One of my buddies on my server got Rom. Event tested him against my base while I used Kras.
My only gripe is that I still haven't unlocked a single Ferengi officer, and it's going into the last Battle Pass overflow of the arc. Only way I can guarantee getting one is to buy a pack.
It'll be forever before I see Rom helping me break a base 😒
What lvl is Mudd in this video. I have mudd T2 an he never procs … ever. I’ve tried different ships with Rom, Mudd an HG Worf an mudd just don’t work for me
Hi Rev, thank you for great videos that have considerably helped me in the game. I now have a question, I bought a new Hauwei phone only to learn afterwards there is no play store on it, and I cannot get STFC working due to its dependance on it for billing.

Your fault for buying Chinese crap
At lvl does rom need to be effective for a base raid?
immediately
And update 10min, 4hr, and 24hr chests and daily elite rewards chests. How about adding rare/epic armada directives to the algorithm for the 24hr chest. Or even putting them in them in the elite daily rewards chests (which desperately need to be updated, 12uncommon G3 mats gets you nowhere).
I hope Rain Wilson plays this game and laughs when players call his mudd the "fat mudd"
Will Harry Mudd's extra shot officer ability stack with Rom's?
It CAN! Depends on the ship/firing pattern
Hey Rev, Does dirty fighting under the outlaw tree still work if your attacked by Rom???
do you think we will get an actual base crew instead of having to put these kind of crews on our ships to protect our bases, and yes I know that rom of course has to go on a ship
Interesting idea.
I know-it wouldn't be optimal, but could you use Rom on the side of a pike or picard synergy to boost those shots further?
Rom is op but that not to bad. It will be a while before I have him
Just wish I could find some bases worth raiding.
What about us lower level players? I used rom and a hull breach crew with Gorkon and got my butt killed fast, I have a borg crew and hardly take damage with the mitigation. I don’t have any burning officers worth a spit. Level 29, I do have Kirk/Spock but doubt they help

Realta Base Burn? :D

RETURN THE BURN 🔥 sux I don't have Rom is a card ill be aiming for
Get ready for a new prime research that counteracts ROM's abilities, 2 research one for each ability, $99 each
Rom, Worf and Harrison?
I'm just barely28 Found 800K ViDar can one shot bases
Rev are your camping videos still relevant or should we just progress as quickly as we can?
Still relevant
@@RevDeuce thanks!!
I'll have to see where this goes but it sounds like it's headed back to the ways that caused me to quit playing the first time.
Rom Mudd Worf. Base vanishers
Whales can pretty much one shot my base in 1 Round with a G5 ship, Rom lets them do it without needing to repair their ship lol - Shield or share people!
...so now increased motivation to buy an extra dock :/
Would love to raid more, but between lag and not enough time (come on... amalgam bps needs to come faster), not raiding much anymore.
ATTENTION - the War & Business SLB expires at the same time as the Event Store - meaning the store will vanish before players can redeem their winnings. Please forward to development.
The realta is still the best ship in the game and now with rom, it is back
Yea everything you get from raiding you get free in dailys n events n 10 min n 4 hr free box
I definitely do not
@@RevDeuce it might not be a substantial amount but its free
So is raiding lol
@@RevDeuce raiding is a fun expense
@@RevDeuce question, how in the world does a 435,489 kvort lvl 20 crack a 11,357,920 base. Guy is a lvl 39 is that all crew but low strenth boat
If you are hitting with a saladin, wont using Rom HG Worf and Harrison work better
Too bad they killed raiding with station locations in TC. It's so much harder to find good loaded bases
it was so much math. Also, stop being so crass.
😜
"there IS a way to counter"... ummm yeah it's called a SHIELD. Unless scopely starts giving a reason to leave a base unshielded (successful defense chests or something)... a shield should always be active.
You been ignoring Kras.
Beat me lol
How about lowering the cost of these stupid armada events, or increasing point value of defeating an armada
game is almost un playable since last arc update. shocking lags. can play with android phone, and blue stack. and pc version is the only option, which is also bad
Im sorry, but raiding still isn't viable for the time it takes unless you have an amalgam and someone with a few hundred billion in resources
If he was around 2 years ago he would have been great but now with g5 ships being able to crack just about any base it doesn't make him that useful
the vast majority of players aren't going to have g5 ships for a couple years, so still valuable.
Said nobody that actually plays the game
You only need a couple in any alliance and they get called to crack the base
First
