Cool, at work right now so didn't realise its not out yet.
But I will say this - it has the coolest bridge in the game, bar none. Screenshots won't explain it, but there's a giant surprise on the bridge. You have to see it for yourself.
The "surprise" in the center of the bridge is very cool! Check out the side consoles to for a similar effect!
(Bridge is the same for the Recluse and the Orb)
Amen to that. I'm too poor to buy keys.
Please post Pics.
R.I.P
Some screenies...
Tholian Recluse Carrier Bridge:
Edit: The console it comes with, the Tholian Tetryon Grid, seems to be a decent damage buff. I use it in succession with my usual team-mate (Jam0) when he requests it for that extra punch.
Console - Universal - Tholian Tetryon Grid
AoE Pet Energy Damage Buff and Attack
+33% All Energy Damage for 5 sec to all affected ally targets
All Tholian Fighters Reflect 2 Tetryon Beams for:
839.8 Tetryon Damage
2.5% Chance: -241.6 All Shields

Define please?
All allies as in all friendly entities, or all pets?
It seems to be all friendly entities as my team-mate told me he received the buff (he could tell by the icon that popped up when I used the ability), however, its activation was inconsistent for him. That's when I realised you have to be within the 'sphere' when it's activated, meaning somewhere between me and the Tholian Widow Fighters as it spans into a web (it's similar to the Tachyon Detection Grid). So, even if you're directly behind me but my pets are a few kms ahead of me, you will not receieve the buff, if I understand it correctly.
@f4tamy | Sad Pandas
The buff seems quite signifigant, but I guess the erratic movement of the pets would make applying it to a teammate an extremely difficult (and impressive) feat to pull it off on any sort of consistent basis.
Though, having said that, it's a 5 second buff, so I guess even flying through the 'net' periodically would give some nice extra damage.
Thanks for the infos!
that was... interesting :eek:

Quick and dirty showing of the Recluse.
Including the bridge........
another over the top ship, no thanks
And ty. Maybe a vid on the over the top Orb is coming. If I can keep one from exploding in PVP for more than five seconds.
Bit of a contradiction there... :P
Like myself, you just have to adapt to this F2P model; Cryptic's not going to listen to our minuscule PvP population, turn around and say, "Yeah, we should stop making these overpowered ships and making loads of money off them!"
Eventually, everyone is going to have either Fleet ships or Lockbox ships, it's just how things are. I'm still here for my fleet mates, trek and for PvP. What will I do if this game comes to a point I cant accept? I'll take a break!
Any negative feedback on these new imbalanced ships will fall on deaf ears. It's time to make a decision as to whether or not you want to be playing this game and the road it's on. I've chosen to stick with my buddies and keep up the pewpew!
@f4tamy | Sad Pandas
Warning - it comes with an ensign tac station only. So the Universal CMDR station is kinda obvious
Music to my ears, I don't like the direction we're going in as a game, but we cant do anything about it so why swim against the tide? I'm here to run around like a headless chicken with fleet mates, and thats a laugh.
Funny, really. When I say all that in other threads I just get labled as a troll and complained at for "loosing faith and giving up"
