    Can anyone else confirm or deny this.

    Everything I have seen to this point (various lists/comments) suggests this core gets [Trans] (same with the Obelisk core)

    ?di=814180590646

    The Solanae Core at Epic, the Deflector at Mk XIV UR. That's all I've been able to work up on the set so far.
    The Solonae warp core does not get [AMP]. The Dyson (rep) warp core gets [AMP]. The Solonae warp core (that came with the DSD) gets [EWS].

    I don't know about the Dyson upgrade, but whoever was telling you information about the Solanae Set was swimming in a pool of bull****.

    The upgrade for the solanae core might be random. I was on tribble and upgraded the Obelisk core and got a different mod than a fleetmate that got [AMP] on their core.

    I was just on tribble and updated 5 Solanae cores on 5 different characters, all 5 upgraded to [AMP]. So maybe it's not random. :)

    Well thats a shame, i was hoping to get my breen set to mkXIII for a purist breen set. guess thats a pipe dream. useless. same old cryptic..... say theyre giving us what we want, but they give us the opposite; as well as ignore or nerf what we hoped might have been good. :(

    I've upgraded the entire set of breen gear on the carrier.

    Why? For giggles. Ii was enjoying the Sarr Thein with a mixed set Elite Fleet, Adapted MACO etc.

    How much? 40 million EC for the 4-piece space set. The other gear was from my Scimidar.

    Why not all EPIC? Too expensive for a very small return. I can upgrade 7 alts for that price.

    How's it Fly? I ran advanced STF's with the breen XI gear without difficulty. This upgraded version's differences were multiple, allowing me to drop Syphon II for TBR 2, got rid of the Aceton assimilator (unnecessary), and added back the new defense console.

    In a nutshell - it's fun to play.

    TBH Solonae is more useful especially if you go AP...

    OH **** YOUR STUPID ****ING 120s POST TIMER...

    Solonae Deflector is more for Sci PartG builds than any other Deflector as at Epic 14 its +60 part gens IIRC either 60 or 55 but its still crazy high i have UR 14 deflector and it gives me +50 so its the best sci deflector i know of

    My question is this. How did you get the 25% chance to reduce cooldowns by 50% on that deflector at that level? I upgraded mine and got nothing of the sort...

    The Solonae warp core does not get [AMP]. The Dyson (rep) warp core gets [AMP]. The Solonae warp core (that came with the DSD) gets [EWS].

    EWS is lame. But [AMP] is awesome! Is that on Epic only? Or on Ultra Rare too?

    You get the Amp on the UR upgrade for the Solana core.

    No idea how. I used 2 of the free superior upgrades from DR, the rest were superiors from the exchange. I had the materials to make all the upgrades, I was just too lazy and a wee bit intoxicated.

    and to be honest - I missed that entirely until you pointed it out ;)

    He's wrong. Solanae Warp Core looks like this at Epic from my earlier reply in the thread.

    Looking to me like he has a purple deflector doff slotted and it's affecting the cool down of the breen energy dissapator (since it's a deflector based ability.

    Yeah, gear will sometimes show various DOFF items as well as others things such as that.

    Yeah - just had that pointed out to me. It is a deflector doff showing up.

    I confused it with the Obelisk core, actually. No need to get upset.

    FWIW, on my torpedo boat with the Core & Engines for the 2pcs Transphasic bonus, tooltip Damage was up on RR Transphasic and Breen Cluster Torp by 7.2 to 7.5%.
    (I did upgrade the engines to Mk XIII VR, but that doesnt appear to have effected the bonus)

    Yeah, I was planning on testing it out on my Benthan Cruiser torp boat later, hopefully the weak shields won't make me explode too much.

    Thx. But that file has no extension, and I cannot open it.

    I was just on tribble and updated 5 Solanae cores on 5 different characters, all 5 upgraded to [AMP]. So maybe it's not random. :)

    And does anyone know whether the Dyson Core gets [Amp] too?

    You know, this is something the devs could and should let the wiki guys know. How hard is it to say these items get specific upgrades and these items get random ones? It would save a lot of resources on Holodeck and a lot of time on tribble.

    To answer your question, I can check in a bit on tribble by running that same 5 character test on the Dyson core.

    Cool. :) Thx!

    Yes, this kind of info needs to be on the wiki, really.

    Testing done -- looks like the Dyson gets [AMP]. Well, after 6 tests. :)
