Long thought lost, the launch era Typhoon class is reborn for a new era, as part of the Dimensional Typhoon event!

Console – Universal – Protonic Snare Projector

This special equipment suite allows a dynamic creation of a protonic energy field that grows as it travels to be created in the field using simple replicator technology. The energy that constitutes this field is protonic in nature, but also resonates with enemy starship hulls, infiltrating their energy relays to shut down their ability to activate abilities or to move.

This console also provides a passive boost to Starship Projectile Weapon Training skill, and Starship Projectile Shield Penetration skill.

This console mod may be equipped on any starship and may be equipped in any console slot. You may only equip one of this console at a time.

Description:

Creates Expanding Net, Damages and Holds

Create an Energy net that expands as it travels up to 10km in your facing direction
To Foes: Proton Damage up to 3x per sec (per overlapping beam) and Brief Hold

Two thoughts:
1. It's a hold so the PVP community will complain about this.
2. Might be interesting on Dyson Proton builds. If anyone has the T6 Dyson ships they may have an interesting toy here.

The trait adds a bit additional kinetic damage when a torpedo is fired. While it is dependent on the amount of extra kinetic damage, i doubt if the kinetic community will find this useful.

Other than that, not a member of the Typhoon fanclub. Not sure if it will get a lot of play time after acquiring and leveling it for the trait.

I don't have sufficient words right now for how happy and excited and surprised I am that they made a T6 Typhoon! o_o Thank you guys so much! I'm really looking forward to getting it and flying it!

It's also cool that they're continuing to flesh out the proton damage side of the game, more! I'm also really happy about that and looking forward to what they come up with next!
And yeah, I see what you mean about yet another hold (especially after the Premonition trait debacle of 8s group hold with no mitigation or cleanse) being a problem on the PvP side of things.

Omg! oMg! omG! OMG! TYPHOON!!!

The Andorians built the Typhoon?! Well done, Andorians! Mirror Andorians?! Are you building Typhoons?!

Those early years of the game.
Klingons encroaching on the south.
Orions and Nausicaans running riot throughout Starfleet's borders
Undine infiltrators walking on the founding worlds.
Threat of assimilation looming like a guillotine.
And the Romulans effectively a slave race to the Iconians.

Dark, blocky, and aggressive ships like the Typhoon, Nobel, and Jupiter were a reflection of the Federation's grim situation.

1x Commander Engineering / Temporal

Glad to see the Commander seat keeping the Spec that was started with the Pilot corvette and the Vovin.

Very good stats, and some interesting console and trait tip-bits. Looking forward to flying her.

They could have put the Command seat on the Lt Cmd Sci station instead of the Tac station. Still, we are finally getting the Typhoon.

Do we know how big the Typhoon is compared to the Odyssey?

Apparently, the remodel is the same length as the original Typhoon. Which herself was roughly 800 meters long. So, if true, she is about 200 meters shorter than the odysseys and about 100 meters or so longer than a sovy.

The stats are supposedly "Good" but I prefer the standard ways: Length. Width. Height. Decks. Weight. Normal ship specs that I can understand and comprehend better than "Turn rate this" or "Inertial level that" And I'm going with the name Typhoon class Battlecruiser not Typhoon temporal battlecruiser.
