Sarr Theln (PvP)

So, the details on the ship are out. Bridge officer layout looks fairly standard. For the first free T6, stats look pretty good, almost the way you'd expect a T6 Kar'Fi to be, minus one fore weapon.

As I guessed, the ship trait is only useful on carriers - hull heals also heal hangar pets within 5km radius. Kinda like a buffed Dauntless trait that only heals your pets - which may make it kinda pointless since Sci is all about the particle manip CC nowadays, which murders pets.

The pets, though......

Plesh Brek Frigates seem to be standard DPS configs. Tachyon Beam is pointless. Weapon choices don't seem to synergise too well with that.

But the Blesh Choas fighters.....Pretty underwhelming, but then they get Evade Target Lock. The accuracy debuff probably isn't going to be much, but remember that that ability has a 1s interrupt on it - anyone not running AtD or APO will not be able to run any duration ability. Still, they're squishy fighters. When you think about it, Evade Target Lock should be able to shut down TBR. Could go either way, really.
The Sarr Theln comes equipped with the Breen Resonant Dissipation Matrix which when used provides a large boost to shield hardness and damage resistance to you and your entire team. Additionally, affected team members will have the recharge time on all of their bridge officer abilities immediately reduced moderately.

This is the piece de resistance. Large boost to shield hardness and damage res to you and the team? Well hello there, cross-faction Team Fortress for Breen ships.

And then the sentence that sets off warning lights in my head - recharge time on Boff abilities reduced moderately. Now, anything that affects Boff timings has been messed up in some way - and I have a bad feeling about this one. You can only put it on Breen ships, though, so that's better, I guess.

    Its standard. Was hoping finally to get my first starship trait, but it looks useless to any other ship other than carriers :(
    Anyway who cares? Its free :)

    i thought the same thing, drain platform. However, I didn't see Sensor Analysis in there, Siphon and Tyken's won't do as much as on a fully fledged science vessel. Take into account that it can only load three flow capacitors. It looks like the Intrepid in boff seating, trait seems veeery good for carriers.

    What surprises me is 4/3/4 consoles, equal to 11. This means Fleet grade T6 :eek:

    With 4 tac, ltcmdr tac it surely does some nasty business.

    ??? Sensor Analysis was listed last night...

    I dunno about the ship itself, I've only ever got one PvP kill in a carrier and that was with ramming speed on my Klingon's Mirror Vo'Quv racer... I suppose I could give it to Nalcari, if Breen ships were symmetrical it would look vaguely like what her people would come up with, but not sure if I can be bothered to grind it out.

    No, it's got subsystem targeting, not sensor analysis.

    I love this carrier so much. 11 console T6, and its free? yummy.

    Not sure about the pets, but that doesnt matter so much when we can just swap in Orion Interceptors or yellowstones.
    Got a cat? Have 10 minutes to help someone make the best degree dissertation of all time?

    Then please fill out my dissertation survey on feline attachment, it'd be a massive help (-:

    If you can get the Elite plesh brek frigates. Each one of them gets a breen energy dissipator at elite and its just gravy.

    Ric, there are 4 sci consoles......also SA is broken so easily by teir six ships it's not even funny. Also, the elite frigates have their own disapates....that's 4 times overkill lol. Also OSS II makes up for the lack of a fifth sci console.

    Whoops, just checked, I misread probably. Still, ltcmdr tac and 4 tac consoles with six weapon slots makes zero sense in PvP. The fact that it has commander sci, but no sensor analysis was already a no for me for sci based stuff. I guess you can run it as particle gen boat, not drainer though.

    Once the opponent is drained, they're going to have hard time to break the lock :P
    At least that's for me, my Intrepid can shut down badly.

    Dissipators are easily destroyed, flying slow-mo projectiles; an escort evades them, sci ships kills them with exotic stuff, cruisers same if with FAW

    I'll be running it as a drainer, mostly because it's breen and bringing back the original vampire race is just badass. But those frigates, and OSS, and if I'm really feeling like spending 35mil on conductive RCS with flow or particle exciter it will have more than enough for most kerrat trash.

    Well doing it for canon sake is fine. I'm not, second reason is because I have a better ship even in looks for the task (aka Intrepid), but mainly because those ice-creams with legs destroyed the USS Defiant. To hell if I'm ever going to seriously fly one of those ships when Defiant in game can't even hope to win a 1v1 vs an asteroid without risking destruction.

    Plus I hate their looks, I hate their voice sound, I hate their suits, I hate their humour, I hate their faces, I'd happily nuke their planet if I could. Oh and they get on my nerves, and I don't like their hats as well. :P

    i'm gonna get the damn thing... just because i wanna put everything breen on it and erp in kerrat with it.

    but i gotta say i was extremely disappointed when i read the star ship tier 5 mastery trait was for pets . :(

    the kdf [and roms, but not really bad] got shafted hard on the star ship traits, and this new one does nothing that interests me. :/

    my only complaint really. the ship actually looks to be decent.
    Don't know why it says i'm an ARC user. i will never use that TRIBBLE Cryptic!
