    Is the Phalanx the tier 4 ship with the Aceton Assimilator? In-game, my ship like this says it's a phalanx support ship, but the C-store said it was a Draguas when I bought it.

    Aceton Assimilators work ok. I'm not sure where the damage should be, but it seems to at least be equivalent to other radiation or plasma DOT's. Really goes well with scramble sensors to trigger the radiation boost. Not an overwhelmingly powerful weapon, but if the energy drain works as well as the tooltips say, it'd be ok even if the enemies are clever and wait to take it out with a torpedo. The damage might not always be obvious in every encounter, but when there are lots of enemies, the area effect helps.

    I would like to see unique console art and an updated model (not just a repair platform with repair drones and all), but I figure all that is coming. Now to test how it works with other energy drains and repair drones.

    i believe the c-store names/description are correct but it appears on the status screen of both ships the names are the wrong way round.

    ok so the c-store lists this as the tier 3 phalanx but the in game status says its the draguas. the c-store pic also shows the orion ship by mistake.

    the tier 4 ships in the store is the draguas but listed in game as the phalanx. the c-store pic shows the tier 3 ship as well.

    So we're talking about a KDF/Gornship! Okay, I was confused because I couldn't put the Phalanx into any tier that made sense, because I assumed that the Nebula already counted as Tier 3 Science VEssel Pay-To-Win ship.

    Shouldn't it be "Fleet Support Vessel" instead of "Science Vessel" then?

    I found teh Aceton Assimilator to be an excellent Borg attractor but quite weak to be of any use in PvP or PvE. It merely does not drain enough to be a detriment in combat.
    Pretty lights though.

    Fly to Ker'rat drop it amongst some Borg (which you can do while cloaked) and watch the pretty lights. Don't forget the OOhss and AAAhss!

    Seriusoly though they hate the thing and it works great to distract them while you run the mission.

    No.

    I'm not buying any more real C-Store points that I don't need in order to get fake C-Store points on Tribble to test stuff for you guys. Allow me to buy fake points without purchasing real points and I'll go hog wild and test them all.

    Until then I'll just test other more important stuff.


    :cool:


    i think its say all! i dont waste my money for you cryptic guys.

    It did when I tested it 3 days ago, though I did bug report the "usable while cloaked" ability.
    SO act fast it may take a while before its fixed :P
    Unfortunately The Drain effect and DoT radiation damage is less than effective. :(

    There were some typos in the gorn ships. This is what it is supposed to be:

    Tier 3 Phalanx - Comes with the Barrier Field
    Tier 4 Dragus - Comes with Aceton Assimilators

    Out apologies for the confusion. They were all functioning properly. it was just a display name problem. Please keep your postings in the proper threads.


    I am tuning these now. I recently added a repel to the Barrier field to try to push foes that are close to you, so they end up on the other side of the barrier. I also reduced the recharge time from 180 to 120 and doubled the HP of the barrier.
