    Subspace Integration Circuit

    This salvaged Elachi technology is infused with subspace energy frequencies. Launching a probe charged with this energy will cause a localized fusion between subspace and normal space, disrupting the operation of any enemy starships caught within the rupture by limiting their perception and flight speed while simultaneously disabling their weapons and bridge officer abilities. The subspace rupture will collapse after several seconds causing damage to any ships that remain within the disrupted region of space.

    Oh my :eek:

    Disabling boff powers LOL I am glad I fly a cloaked ship! And people are always QQing about strike and run tactics. Stuff like this is why cloakers in space utilize these tactics!

    It may be nothing , like the adaptive borg ships but something about this Elachi stuff makes me think it this will be the final straw that finally breaks the PvP camels back.
    The Lobi Crystals are Faaaakkkkee!

    I'm imagining flying veeeeeerrry slowly into a group of aux2batFAW cruisers while having no weapons and no boff powers and being DEM'd and being hit with 100% bypass disruptors on my way into a minefield that I can't see. My balls will be soo dry they will explode like dust in the wind.
    lolol ahhhh thank you cryptic. good times.

    GW+PSW+VM all in 1 console, that is efficent, gj cryptic

    /sarcasm

    Disruptor with chance to bypass 100% damage? nice, 40k BO direct to the hull, and pets with VM lol

    By far the worst lockbox, the tournament rules list is about to get a few things more :rolleyes:

    Predicted those weapons MONTHS ago. Shield tanking has become so ridiculous that shield-bypassing damage is rapidly becoming the only way to kill people in PvP... and presto, here we have weapons with a chance to bypass shields completely.

    They do. This console seems to be specifically targeted against PvP. Why else would they mention bridge officer powers? Hell, why would they even make it this way?

    New carrier pets that use viral marix.

    From what it reads like, they aren't carrier pets but rather NPCs spawned by a console. It probably has a sane cooldown and as such shouldn't be too crazy.

    No doom. I think we'll just move into doing more private matches from OPvP and stuff where maybe peeps can agree to not use that universal console at least.

    Brilliant.

    That has signed the death knoll for non PvP fleet players.
    You know, the average players that want a bit of fun.

    This game is getting suckier and suckier each month.
    Roll on BF4 and GTA5.

    how many different types of crescent weapons are there? just cannons i suspect? maybe just DHCs?

    and are you guys crazy with that PER SHOT chance for a shot to COMPLETELY bypass shields AND bypass some resistance? guess no devs are left that remember why AP weapons got changed. considering how well i can deal damage through shields as it is, these weapons will be an i win button. the valdor console is a per shot procing weapons, and it goes off every 0 to 7 seconds, i do not trust this to be any different.

    these weapons and that aoe projected subnuke/ams/stun/GW console look vindictively pvp ruining :mad:

    I'll have to wait and see.

    But if it is a weapon that basically prevents a ship from firing or using BO skills in a localized area (say 3 km from detonation point) but doesn't restrict movement, it sounds like it is neither OP nor useless.

    It will only hurt the person stuck under the effects by other means.

    Interesting. Powerful. OP? Not sure about that.

    Thank god I read this now. I was omw to to buying a $200 zen package for multipurpose dilthium use. Better hold off on that thanks guys! I still can't find the dev blog so can someone find the link and post please? I guess disruptor induction coils are gonna shoot through the roof now. Correction they went up 3 million in price since last night. Checked mk 11 purples.

    More points in sensors and inertial damps on the horizon perhaps?

    Sounds like yet another reason to fix the dwindling science skills that still don't do these things even tho their descriptions have said they do since launch, like TR, GW, VM. yep, nothing like making science feel even worse huh there Cryptic?

    The ships and consoles and weapons go LIVE on this Thursday? Was there no Tribble testing of any of this stuff to see if it plays nicely? If that's the case, I think we can expect some nerfing once balance issues become apparent.

    Exactly what I'm thinking. So Cryptic Devs? Will you give us an answer at long last?

    This is clearly designed to replace science skills where are broken and don't function anywhere near as well as these consoles do!

    The science community deserves an answer! :mad:

    Ah what the hell let's just make a large zen store purchase that allows you to bring your foundry work tray with the kill target button for pvp. That will be the true I win button.

    After looking through the posting with all the information Here There are only a few things that I am nervous about:

    New Weapons. They will more then likely be cannon focused, but I suspect the weapon package will be all types. Won't know more till what.. Thursday or Next Tuesday?

    Viral Matrix On Pets.. Good thing I suppose that they aren't Carrier Pets. And I am hoping there isn't a bug that allows the VM doffs to accidently work with the pets. :P

    The new Inspirational Leader ? Space Trait looks cute. So you can get up to a +30 to all skills for 15 seconds... And for Aux to Bat builds keep it running more then likely unless there is a hidden Global Cool down on it.

    The 3 Piece Universal set sounds like a FBP effect.. but the question I guess will be if it is a FBP 1, 2, or 3 effect.

    Other wise nothing else to whine about or be concerned with until the Lockbox comes out and we can actually SEE the stats.
    You think that your beta test was bad?
