I have to ask, where is it?

Romulans seem to have a lot of tech based tricks up our sleeves... but with cloaking and no battlestations... we seem to lack the actions to use or reactivate them?

We're running faction pure fleets here, where is the action economy for my pointy-eared scumbags?

Well we don't have as much as other factions. However the Scimitar's ability is for action economy because you can decide to remain cloaked after shooting by taking a aux token. Advanced Cloaking from the Vorta Vor does the same thing except you have to decide if you are taking to token before you roll. Romulan Flagship and Fleet Captain give you action economy for sensor echos. Two of the independent flagships can give action economy with free target lock or evade. The othet two don't help up much because we don't have any ship with battle stations, and the two with scan are not worth making your flagship.

So in short we have action economy but it is in resources, high point ships, and tech where other factions might have it in captains.

romulans have very good action economy,

take for example, tactical officer that lets you reroll to hit twice.

you used one action to get two re rolls on attack dice, which in effect gives you two actions as its actually better then target lock + battle stations.

you can always take an aux to keep cloaks now as well.

Yeah, we don't really have it. We're the only faction without a free-action captain sadly :-(

As Sodoff says we can get free sensor echoes through flagships and fleet captains. Advanced cloaks are a godsend.

One thing we do well is re-roll to hit, tactical officer is great at boosting our attack
