T6 Cross Faction Science Vessels

Because we've had T6 Escort, Battlecruiser, and other starship bundles thus far, and the demand for a good T6 KDF/Rom Sci ship is as high as its ever been. Also, T6 Nova, please and thank you!

> Energy Weapons gain a 7.5% chance to generate 1 tachyon charge which lasts 60 seconds
> A maximum of 6 charges can be stacked. Each charge provides a modest buff to Drain Expertise
> Once any number of charges is accumulated, the following ability becomes available for use:

Blackout Field
> This ability generates an AoE singularity that dampens enemy engines and progressively drains shields. (effectively an AoE gravity well-esque tachyon beam ability)
> 5 minute cool-down after use. It can be used with 1-6 tachyon charges, but more charges results in increased duration and effect.

    So odd... I thought there was a cross faction science vessel... The multi-mission... one of better science if not thee best for pure science builds.....

    Cross faction science ship wise we have the Eternal.

    Very true, and in fairness I did completely ignore the eternal in the OP, but is the argument that, since the Eternal exists, we shouldn't be allowed to have more nice things? Because that's never been a theme of STO.

    Right now, science-oriented starships are the sparsest of vessels in the game for all factions (even the Federation, of which the combined number of destroyers, escorts, cruisers, and dreadnoughts is at least double).

    Really what I'm looking at right now is fleet diversity. Personally, I think the cross-faction bundles are a great thing. They allow you to pick up 3 (albeit similar) ships for 3 different factions at once, and aesthetically, cryptic's designs are quite impressive. Unless it just isn't cost effective, why not go for it?

    Well, based on what is currently in the C-Store, when excluding the T6 Eternal science ship, the Federation has infinity more T6 science ships than the KDF and Romulans haves that because:

    4 / (0+0) = Infinity

    The Paradox is a great ship.
