Do the Krenim Raiders that are available with this dreadnaught have raider flanking (bonus damage when flanking) like the Breen Raiders do for the Breen Carrier?

Don't get me wrong I'd love to be proven wrong on this, I just find it to be extremely unlikely. Like I said, even a weaker version would utterly ruin their sales for the upcoming promo. People would still try for the better version, but far fewer of them.

I think it's relevant she didn't say "Science".
This promo is for the Science junkies.
Since at STLV, the devs said the Mirror types are fighting a Mirror Iconian war, my guess is a tactical, non-Sci Dreadnought variant tied to some kind of queue/replay or maybe just a Mirror Annorax Dreadnought.
I would be willing to bet major EC it will be T6 but it won't be a Sci ship. Side bet that it's MIRROR.

Well, we'll find out soon enough I guess, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.
I am feeling much better about this promotion overall.
The stats of the ship favor a disruptor or antiproton beam build, which is obviously the most desired kind of sci ship right now, given the beam DPS meta. (As opposed to the particle manipulator exotic builds, polaron drain builds, sensor snoopers, or cannon rapid fires of yonder years). Even the starship trait is oriented towards short-cooldown sci abilities rather than the immense cooldowns of exotic damage powers. Tac captain whales can funnel tons of money into the game in a bit to get the trait all they want - I will be all the happier for it.
This even gives me a fair amount of hope that the rest of us epsilons will get a chance at running a poor man's version of the ship, similar to what we got with the DSD.
EDIT: Just saw @stoleviathan99 's post about the mirror ship angle. That makes a lot of sense to me.
So does that mean the new Coalition ships (Zahl Heavy Cruiser and Krenim Warship) will be able to use the Tipler Cylinder and Manheim Device as well?
Likewise, does that mean the Wells Temporal Science and Mirror Temporal Destroyer ships will be able to use the Timeline Analysis Sensor Grid and the Temporal Shielding Matrix consoles?
I'd also really like some clarification about the "built in Chroniton Lance" ... Is this a unique ability like the Galaxy X Dreadnaught lance that doesn't consume a weapon slot, or does the the Chroniton Lance use one of the four front weapon slots (meaning this "Dreadnaught" is actually just a weak 3+3 science ship with a fourth weapon in the front that cannot be customized like the Dyson Science Ships)?
Also, is the Chroniton Lance another Antiproton-based Chroniton weapon like the Chroniton dual beam bank from the Lobi store? If so, can we buff/increase the Chroniton Lance's weapon damage by using tactical consoles that boost Antiproton damage?
The answers to these questions will dictate my willingness to spend crazy amounts of Zen during this promotion.

As far at that goes, all "Console Synergy" has meant in the past is that the ship can use a console that was previously restricted to other ships and does not come with the new ship. The other time they used that term was with the (T5) Avenger's ability to use the cloaking device console, and it didn't mean you could use the Avenger console on the Defiant or Gal-X on that case, so it's a good guess that it doesn't mean the new consoles will work on the Mobius or Wells in this case.
Doesn't anybody wonder what the Krenim Heavy Raider looks like? There a no pictures. Maybe that's the patrol ship from "Year of Hell", or maybe it's a brand-new design? The suspense is killing me!
You know there is one other item in this game that is labeled Timeship. We have already gotten the Krenim version of the Temporal Destroyer, now the Krenim version of a Temporal Science Ship. Could it be the 'free' ship is a 'shuttle' equivalent?

There's not an overarching 4 or 5 piece set bonus, just a pair of existing 2 piece set bonuses (1. manhiem/ tip and 2. timeline analysis/ temporal shielding).
Ok so I've heard different opinions online about why they chose to make it be in a DOFF pack instead of C-Store. I've heard they want more money, it cuts down on the amount of ships, they don't allow cross faction to be in C-Store or basically the ship buyer at Earth Spacedock. Is there like a confirmed reason or just pure speculation? I was personally upset about it because YoH was my favorite episode so having the ship would just make the game fun, but of course I've tried hard to get cross faction ships without success so, I doubt I will have better luck...

Please update the Krenim Dreadnought stats, concerning the Universal consoles. Please tell us what bonuses we get from a 2pc, 3pc and 4pc. Along with the resistance and whatever else we need to know. Ty in advance.

There are no bonuses, other than the existing set bonuses tied to the existing consoles that can go onto the dread (i.e. equipping 3,4, or all 5 doesn't have anything beyond the existing 2 piece set bonuses: 1. manhiem/ tip and 2. timeline analysis/ temporal shielding). At least, that was what was explained to me this morning when I asked about it.
It has pretty badass stats. I like the boff seating because it means the ship can remain flexible.
Its a sci based ship, but can be used well by any profession captain. It only has one sci locked boff slot. The rest are unis. it also has 4 tac consoles and an extra weapon than other sci ships. Yet it has all the sci innate abilities, secondary deflector and a very high shield modifier. Interesting.

Took a pic for future reference? Smart
Just in case it is deleted from imgur in the future:
"There's a ship coming though. Stay tuned. [....] Something something Krenim timeship. Something something Annorax Dreadnought." - <dev> Trendy, STO chat.
I'm guessing "Krenim Coalition Timeship - Prototype Annorax Dreadnought" :P
Or, after reading the mirror universe angle:
"Mirror Universe Krenim Timeship - Protorype Annorax Dreadnought"
Ooookay, so there's a poor man's version coming then?

The more I read these stats the more confused I get.
So, the "Console Synergy" set for this ship requires:
Console - Universal - Tipler Cylinder
Console - Universal - Manheim Device
Console - Universal - Timeline Analysis Sensor Grid
Console - Universal - Temporal Shielding Matrix
So does that mean the new Coalition ships (Zahl Heavy Cruiser and Krenim Warship) will be able to use the Tipler Cylinder and Manheim Device as well?
Likewise, does that mean the Wells Temporal Science and Mirror Temporal Destroyer ships will be able to use the Timeline Analysis Sensor Grid and the Temporal Shielding Matrix consoles?

Checking it out. I think Vanilla is messing with the code a little bit with this one, so I'll manually do some stuff.
Also we updated the blog. The Annorax has Secondary Deflectors.
There's another version of the Krenim warship.
If you remember, when Annorax was trying to restore his Imperium, he hit a snag and the Imperium shrunk, or reverted to a less powerful version.
The warship reverted to a smaller version too, along with the timeline.
Maybe this will be a science ship too. It's called a patrol ship. I dunno It looks like it COULD be kinda sciencey.
