Hokuun Science Vessel console

sinningsherlock · March 2018

Does anyone else find it strange that the console given with the Hokuun science vessel is part of a set the ship cannot use? It seems bizarre to me to give a ship a useful console and then hamstring said ship by restricting access to the rest of the set, which can only(?) Be obtained by purchasing the remaining ships, which are the multi-mission explorers. Is that something that can to be rectified? It just seems intentionally hampering

I think there are actually a few similar cases of the anniversary ship's console being part of a set the ship itself can't use.

OP Mentioned set: https://sto.gamepedia.com/Alliance_Multi-Mission_Systems_Set
Other sets:

https://sto.gamepedia.com/Command_Platforms

Just because the Anniversary ship can't use them doesn't mean they're useless. The main advantage of the anniversary ship's console is that they can be mounted on ANY ship. Yes the set can only be used on the associated C-Store ships, but that's still a 3-4 console investment. In a way the Anniversary ship consoles have more versatility.

Hell... I use the Regenerative Integrity Field console from the Samsar on a lot of my ships.

Oh no! Not useless! Very useful. But it just kind of strikes me as weird that it's a ship that isn't even related to the other class of starship that can use the set. I still love the console, and use it often. But I'd also like the option to:
A) use the set with the Anni ship

have the ability to just buy the other set consoles, rather than buy a ship (or series of ships) for a console

They won't seperate consoles from ships like that. Would cut into a source of income that helps run the game.

Many years late to the conversation OP. This has been happening for many a year, and no, it does not hamper the ship in the slightest. It's a power console in it's own right as it is and most people throw away the ship once claimed as it is. The ship also is a freebie thru the event, so bear that in mind.
