In this universal console's description on STOwiki...
Console - Tachyokinetic Converter
Rare Universal Console
Bind On Pickup
Values do not reflect skills or other modifiers
+22.9% Flight Turn Rate
+17.2 Starship Graviton Generators
+0.76% Critical Chance
+7.6% Critical Severity
However the in-game tooltip and info is...
Console - Tachyokinetic Converter
Rare Universal Console
Bind On Pickup
Values do not reflect skills or other modifiers
+22.9% Flight Turn Rate*
+22.9% Flight Turn Rate*
+17.2 Starship Graviton Generators
+0.76% Critical Chance
+7.6% Critical Severity
Wondering which description is the typo (my guess is the in-game since that would mean the tachyokineticonverter is equal to 2 RCS consoles).

Yes, that is a bug. It appeared recently.
this console is very expensive and the turn bonus makes it worth the lobi.
[12:44] Vessel One of Two Unimatrix 01 deals 1019527 (1157678) Kinetic Damage to you with Plasma Energy Bolt Explosion.
So how does it work for cruisers now? And how do you know this? Was it in some patch notes or something?
I run it in an engineering slot instead of a second fleet RCS console. With the remaining fleet RCS console and an armor console with turn rate bonus my Sovereign is still maneuverable enough and packs some nice extra crit punch.
Tooltip error or not.
First i dont think is a good idea to necro a 2 months old thread, but i'll answer your questions anyway.
The 2 x 22% turn rate on the tachyokinetic console is a typo, it provides only 1 time 22% turn rate. I've tested it a few times against a +35% turn rate mk XI blue normal RCS console, and i got more turn with the last one. If it was not a typo, and it did provide 2 times the 22% turn rate, then the tachy should give more turn, since 44% > 35%. But it wasnt the case here. So it must be a bug/typo.
And about the new RCS changes when LoR came, it was a dev explanation, wich i cant find it atm, that all RCS consoles were gives an internal (hidden somewhat since is not in description) +2 turn rate, not %, but flat +2. So this helps alot more cruisers then escorts, since with on an average of 5-6 turn, as most cruisers have, even a +40% turn rate means very little so that +2 turn rate helps alot.
Hope that clarifies it for you
Incorrect. RCS consoles do not add a random +2 turn rate. Prior to the change the way they worked severely penalized low turn rate ships (the formula was based on base turn rate minus an arbitrary amount, modified by the console percentage). After the change, the turn rate buff on the console is exactly what every ship gets regardless of base turn (now the formula looks simply at base turn rate modified by the console).
