    First seen in Star Trek: Voyager, the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort (Prometheus Class) is available to Federation Vice Admirals. Read more about it and purchase it from the C-Store today.


    Click here to read more.

    I have this ship and the Tactical Setup of the Standard Advanced Escort (4+3) is more powerfull of this ship Tactical Setup(3+2+1) and the 2 pets gived by the separation are only 2 mass of metal with no brain and sense. The Beta Section of the ship have cannons in Alpha and Gamma mode,not used for the stupid A.I. of the pet who flight araund the enemy as a cruiser and not as an escort. Too weak pets,no control of them and no hull regeneration when they take 50 of the crew after separation. You can delete it if you don't want to work on it!!!! This ship have no pvp role because the separation mode is only a disadvantage with the hull reduction and no advantage!!! Power advantage in pvp is nothing with 50 of crew and a small hull...have this ship mean have no advantage on other ships of the game. You need to work on it before you can re-launch it!!!
    You need to change the cooldown of the ability too!!! Too much time before a new separation!!! This isn't an Advantage!!!! DAMN!!!

    Edit:
    What about the graphic bugs??? The cooldown bug??? The A.I. bug and brainless of the other 2 pets??? The wrong equip who don't change type of wepons for take same of your ship wepon???

    Is this meant as a joke, because i don't get it...

    It is an attempt at marketing, the "promotion" aspect of the "four p's" to be exact.


    By actively promoting a product, they aim to increase sales to those who don't have it. Expect to see more promotion of older an currently available ships, especially ones that came out before F2P. There is nothing wrong with what they are doing, actually it may be helpful in generating input from different players on how best to use the ships.

    Ah, you mean like some of those "Fat to muscle" dietary supplement or that knife which can cut through a sheet of steel. I understand. ;)

    No seriously, i was just curious.

    You mean advice like: "unless you like the console for vanity/rp-purposes, instead of spending 2,500 Zen on the MVAE, get your hands on 4 fleet modules and buy one of the three 'classic' Fleet Escorts (Patrol, Tac or Advanced) instead, which will outperfom the former" ?

    Seriously. It's strange to advertise an old and somewhat outdated ship without giving a bit of a rebate or further incentive to buy it. Pretty much feels like a car dealer trying to sell a 2008-model car with less options, higher gas milage and worse engine perfomance than the current one for the same price.

    If I remember right, you still have to by the MVAM to get the console to make the flet model do the seperation, and you do get a discount on the fleet version if you own the original version.

    Also I dont remember what Tier of SB is needed, but what if a person fleet hasn't gone to that level yet? They will still need the original for the console and they can still use it until they get the opportunity to acuire the fleet model.

    It's actually not odd at all to advertise the ship, it's still in its "maturity" point of its product-life cycle. As far as your reference, actually, it's more like a car dealer advertising a car that the original model year launch was 2008, still produce new but have changed to a new model yet. It's still a "new" ship the performance and gas mileage is still the same as it ever was. There might be other models that are "newer" in design, not any more new nonetheless.

    More like the "end of model year" sales commericals car companies put out in July.

    Maybe someday, when the ship reassembles itself, the pieces that come back to form the ship will actually look like pieces of my ship.

    Right now, the animation still uses generic Prometheus parts, and when they mush back together, they magically turn into what my ship looks like.

    Sort of immersion-breaking, and been that way since the ship's initial release.
    /

    I came to post this as well. I made a nice personal looking ship but had to use the default Prom skin because it looked too silly in MVAM. Y'know, the reason why people buy this ship.:rolleyes: If if ever does get fixed how about having the separated part of this and all other separating ships having shields that match the main vessel.

    None buy this ship without new fix and re-balance!!! The graphic bug are of the 2010!!! Damn only idiots buy it now with this problems!!!

    Well okay I did buy this ship because it was featured on a Voyager Episode ;).

    As memory serve's, on the Episode the Romulan's stole it and then toward the end the two holographic doctor's ended up running it during a fire right with the Romulans.

    When separated into 3 part's the Prometheus fires simultaneously (almost like the Dreadnoughts' Phaser Lance) thus destorying a Romulan War bird in one shot :eek:. . (Or at least of what I do remember of the Episdoe). .

    Prometheus Fire Power Seen here. .

    Oh. . and did I hear that computer voice say "Regenerative Shielding"?


    Like many of you here, I am very dissappointed in this vessel in game. Prometheus was suppose to be another Dreadnought ship and Weapon. . They need to correct this big time.

    THE MVAe console is TRIBBLE. Remove it and use it for something better like the borg console...:cool:

    I can tank in my MVAE and do epic crowd control with gravity well 1 and vent theta radiation. The maco mk12 gear (shield and deflector) + borg gear (2 pieces each) gives you the longevity to stay in the fight.

    My consoles:

    eng: tackyokinetic console, vent theta radiation
    sci: borg console, two field generators
    tac: disruptor energy consoles

    I cant wait to get the tier 4 fleet ship.

    The pets just need to be controlled like fighters and improved so they do not die from evil stare. Without that and the long timers, the console is optional at best.

The world’s biggest MMO isn’t item based, even though the black market item GDP is bigger than Russia … microtransactions make me want to die.”

    Just wondering if you have just acquired the MU-MVAE as this doesn't come equipped with the MVAC, you need to buy the C-store MVAE to get this, then you can equip it on any MVA-craft.

    If not then it's ticket time..

    The mirror advanced can use the MVAE console? How would that work, as the mirror advanced has the model of a standard patrol.

    The mirror patrol can use the MVAE console however.

    Well, the MUAE has no mention of the "Multi-vector" part. Just Mirror Universe Advanced Escort.
