The ship also comes with one extremely interesting console (described in full below) the Plasma Destabilizer that fires a ruby-red destructible projectile with massive damage and a big area of effect. The other massive advantage to EBC is that many BOFF abilities can be triggered without breaking cloak. During this time the T’varo has no shields and thus a torpedo hit can be devastating. The EBC, however, comes with a mild flaw in that while firing torpedoes the T’varo is visible (and can be fired upon) for three seconds. The T’varo Retrofit features an interesting built-in capability: it can fire torpedoes under cloak with the Enhanced Battle Cloak. The T’varo fills the role of an escort nicely with cannons or beams but it can also make an excellent hit-and-run ambusher that can appear out of nowhere, unleash hell, and then accelerate out of range to vanish again for another pass.

With three Tactical consoles (four in the Fleet version), a Commander Tactical BOFF, and a four-tree gun layout it falls into a space between escorts and birds-of-prey.īridge Officer Stations: 1 Commander Tactical, 1 Ensign Tactical, 1 Lieutenant Engineering, 1 Lieutenant Science, 1 Lieutenant Commander UniversalĬonsole Modifications: 3 Tactical, 3 Engineering, 3 Science The T’varo Retrofit Warbird can be destribed as a “dagger that slides between the ribs of the enemy,” because it’s narrow profile, high turn rate, and high speed give it an agility that’s not common in dogfights. The handling review of a ship in Star Trek Online is broken up into three parts: maneuverability, armament, and armor. The T’varo looks like it’s dressed up in leather boots, spiked collar, and a leather vest for a night out on the town that might just involve a close-quarters knife fight with high-energy plasma weaponry.
A single-flat saucer-like engineering-hull combined with raised nacelles that looks like a sleeker-more-modernized version of the T’liss. The design doesn’t immediately scream Romulan when looking at it, but the design choices common to Romulan ships are still apparent. It’s a fairly small ship compared the many of the other vessels seen in Star Trek Online, but it packs a lot of punch in its small hull. The hull is greenish (with a few costume options) and the nacelles have a green glow that provides the knife-like edge to their exterior. The T’varo Retrofit is a revamp of earlier light warbirds that give it a very thin profile, talon-like nacelles, and an overall dagger-like appearance. It only costs one module if the player already has the T’varo Retrofit C-Store variant. There is also a Fleet version available from a Tier I shipyard for 200,000 EC and four Fleet Ship Modules (2,000 ZEN total). This is a C-Store ship and as a result it comes with a special console and comparatively nice features.
Alternatively it is also available from the Legacy of Romulus Legacy Pack ($159.99 USD) and the Starter Pack ($24.99 USD). The T’varo Light Warbird Retrofit is available from the Cryptic C-Store for 2,000 ZEN ($20 USD). Depending on how the captain chooses to seat BOFFs and what consoles are slotted (at 3x3x3 for the C-Store version) it can be outfitted for numerous warbird playstyles. While the T’varo Retrofit has the handling and feel of a high-powered escort, it’s actually an extremely versatile vessel that allows it to fill a multitude of roles. One of these ships is the Romulan tier five T’var Light Warbird Retrofit. Amid these new ships also came some interesting ideas from Cryptic about how space battles proceed. With the third faction came an entire ship family, the warbird, and new styles of play. It’s been almost a year since the release of the Legacy of Romulus expansion to Star Trek Online, which introduced the playerbase to a third faction: Romulans.
