I. What makes this ship attractive? the hull? the ability to cloak or load cannons? the new console?
- Cloak is possibly useful for PvP (element of surprise)
- New console is okay, though targetable projectiles on 2m cooldown
- Creates two targetable projectiles that fire projectiles of their own. 2m cooldown.
- Projectiles vary based on current cruiser comm array ability
- If used, possibly worth investing one tactical console on kinetic
- Base: Access to V.A.T.A. console
- Fleet: Second science console, +10% base hull and shields
- Not a major difference in survivability, cruiser is already surprisingly sturdy
- Extra cosmetic option: ?flat? pylons vs. upswept
a. What is the new mechanic?
- Area-of-effect buffs (5 km), affects teammates, carrier pets (any allied ships)
- Command ? Weapon System Efficiency
- Reduced energy drain on weapons
- Command ? Shield Frequency Modulation
- Shield resilience
- Command ? Strategic Maneuvering
- Increased turn rate and speed, diminishes over distance
- Ensign Tactical (1)
- Lt. Comm. Tactical (3)
- Comm. Engineering (4)
- Lt. Science (2)
- Lt. Univ (2)
- Two copies of Auxillary to Battery I, three very rare Technicians (or two VR + one Rare)
- Reduces cooldown of all Bridge officer powers by 30%.
- Two A2B usages usually brings all powers to global cooldown.
