Tachyon detection grid console for klingon allied players or alternative?

Howdy, I noticed that the new research ships come with the Tachyon Particle Field Emitter console and is a set with the tachyon detection grid console available to feds or fed allied romulans, is there another console for this set for klingons or klingon allied romulans? Thanks for the help.

    At the moment, probably not. Its not the first time we had a T6 console that was not given a full set due to lack of KDF lower tier analog.

    http://sto.gamepedia.com/Console_-_Universal_-_Molecular_Cohesion_Nullifier_(KDF)

    Two examples of consoles that have set bonuses Fed side but not KDF side due to lack of lower tier analogs to set pieces.

    The Destabilized Tachyon Emitters console is part of the Heavy Escort Modification set.

    The two other parts are the Point Defense console available on the Thunderchild Heavy Escort and the Torpedo Point Defense on the T5 Heavy Escort Carrier. While the KDF can access the Point Defense via lockbox (KDF version comes in Disruptor flavor instead of the normal Phaser), it is considered a standalone variant. KDF do not have a T5 analog of the Heavy Escort Carrier, and thus are unable to get the Torpedo Point Defense.

    The Molecular Cohesion Nullifier is part of the Enhanced Engineering Systems set, which is associated with the Galaxy class line of ships. The other two parts are Antimatter Spread (available to KDF as a standalone via lockbox) and Saucer Seperation (from the T5 Galaxy Retrofit). There is no T4 Negh'var to give an Antimatter Spread, and there is no T5 C-Store Negh'var to give any variant of Saucer Seperation.

    Why would you want that console, it's completely useless. Except maybe in PvP for detecting cloaked ships. But the effect only lasts a few seconds so even there it's not really worth having it on your ship.

    Plus the set bonus for Fed is Battle Cloak which the majority of KDF and Rom ships already have!

    Are you mixing consoles?
    Battle Cloak was from 3-piece from Fed Assault Cruisers set

    Tachyon Particle Field console is on T6 Research ships,
    the other piece is Tachyon Detection Grid from T5 Nebula (i think)
    the 2-piece set gives +Accuracy and +Starship Drain Expertise

    I did the "Echoes of Light" on the KDF Research Vessel with drain/disruptor build, and i must say the Tachyon Particle Field can really strip shields from enemy in a moment - the last group of enemies (the ones with Scourge or Kolasi - not sure which one is that) got flattened in seconds...
