    I want the full details of these new Tac consoles.

    For that matter, I'd like to see the full details of all fleet consoles, without having to grind my way up to unlocking them. I should not have to buy it to find out what I'm getting.

    They seem to be based around these - well the tac ones - , Cannon, Beam, Torp and mine ones, all generic

    Giving people the ability to get a 6th active DoFF slot for ground & space is going to **** things up so badly.

    And the sad thing is they even know it.

    But hey! It makes money so who cares, right?

    Hopefully there are some more fleet tac consoles underway, the current selection on tribble is way to limited. New consoles should encourage more and different builds, instead of limiting everyone into an one weapon type / crit heavy approach.

    Thanks for the heads up :)

    And its nice we get a pic at the interior with full featured projects, they look nice.

    As for the tac consoles, well... they look ok if you go for a full beams, cannons and torps build. I am glad they dont kill for good the old energy type ones as the eng fleet RCS did for the normal RCS ones.

    Atrox, karfi and arkif all require 1000 vet to purchase?

    I assume typo. But I am curious

    There's an Asterisk after the Vet ships...not the others.

    Not a typo you need to have the 1,000 day vet status...either by Lifetime Sub , or being Gold sub for 1,000 days, for the Vet ships not the Carriers hence the * next to them

    One thing that the devs have not addressed from what ive seen is are they going to do anything about the old consoles they have killed because of the fleet consoles and what about the consoles no one uses like the crew ones due to crew being irrelevant, theres just so many that no one uses anymore.

    Crew aren't irrelevant. They directly contribute to how quickly you recover

    them tac consoles are bad. ony useable on pure cannon boats or pure beam boats for example. any escort that runs 1 DBB for BO will have 1 or the other not benefiting from any tac consoles, and the fact that they do so much less damage enhancing makes them undesirable anyway. but they keep adding effects on crit, before long all that will mater is how often you get i win procs to go off, not how well you can fly your ship.

    Q: Will we be able to beam down to the "Ground Adventure Zone" as well as to the "Space Adventure Zone" from inside our Spire holding?

    [Redacted]=Redacted

    Looks like they might have yanked the REDACTED from the FE the 31st.

    Figures.

    My fleet found what those 2 redacted are. I won't tell you guys the names but atleast one little information: elite scorpions got replaced as the ultimate dps fighter

    Edit: Guy above me spoiled it....

    Can anyone post the kits that we're getting? I'm hoping for a better melee or stealth kit for my tac as well as seeing what Sci and Eng are getting

    This would seem logical.

    Please add mk 10 and 11 to the tac consoles? A lot of smaller and medium fleets never get past tier 2 even on the Embassy thats been around for a year (especially KDF side), and not everyone wants to be a Public Service beggar for every last piece on their ship.

    Not quite. The version rewarded by the FE will be the same version as in the Spire, but available to those new or didn't-get-a-chance-to-play characters in an eligible Fleet who were not around during the FE's special promotional run. This is similar to the Odyssey and Bortas that are available in T5 shipyards. There will be an "upgraded" version of the REDACTED available, but you'll have to wait for more details on that :cool:

    Cheers,
