Ship Consoles / Abilities

lordvitaluslordvitalus Member Posts: 10 Arc User
This is my first post ever with STO Forum and I had a hard time finding General Discussion, so Moderators feel free to move this to the proper location.

Now my question:

I've seen ships use an ability that would form teleporting copies of itself and lighting would shoot out in all directions around the teleporting copies during this process.

What Console / Ability produces this effect, is it only available on ships with Specialized Experimental Weapon slots, or can any ship use this.

Thank you in advance.

    Ah yeah.. the lightning probably means it's Black Alert.

    Does it look like what the ship is doing in this video?

    Yes! 100% That's it - Thank you all for the informative responses, not sure how useful an ability this is, but it look so cool I thought I'd at least check it out.

    Thank you again!

    It sounds like the Barclay Maneuver which is one of the possible effects from Innovation Effects which are available on Miracle Worker ships.

    When you use abilities in the listed order, it creates a photonic copy of your ship and that ship charges and rams your selected target. It's pretty cool looking. :smile:

    Nah, it's Black Alert. :p It's a ship trait triggered by using Intel powers IIRC.
