This ship gives me the urge to name it something like USS Probealizer and go parking myself in orbit over the continental United States looking for lone pick up trucks traveling during the night and beaming them up while broadcasting on their radios, "Get in loser, we're going probing!"
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
only long enough to get the trait, if it's useful to me
I have some character ideas that use bioships so unless the things perform too badly, I will be running at least a few for the forseeable future. Also, I have some captains who are now without a main ship due to the Shi'kahr debacle so I may run a Cnidarian Defender as the new main ship for one or more of those.
BTW, even though the aura appears to be classed as an energy weapon, it does not proc anything that weapons would normally proc. For example, Kemocite laced weaponry, boronite laced weaponry, or anything procced by beams or cannons will not work with the jelly mode.
Which is really disappointing because I was hoping at least kemocite would work with it so I could focus on some radiation damage.
The Cnidarian's we saw was one being tortured by a Bandi leader to become whatever he wanted it and the other arrived in a matter of self defence to rescue one of its own from the horror it had been put through. That suggests the species is not inherently evil and the attack was to stop the Bandi from abusing the trapped lifeform.
Now the developers bring these Cnidarians back and apparently members of this species haven't been abused enough, so a whole species is now twisting to the demands of blood thirsty captains and their surly crews.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Those Cnidarians are part of your crew now. You can call it Ensign Jell-o-shot!

(Looks at your avatar) nope, not buying it Scorpius old chum.
Although Trek is infamous for its planets of hats, painting a species as 100% combat-averse is stereotyping them.
These jelly-people are the ones who want to join our Captain Murder Hobo in wading through rivers of evil person blood, where "evil person" is by definition anyone who tries to stop us. Or looks at us funny. Or that we just feel like feeding the hurty beam end of an energy weapon.
Drew a blank for creative names: Mine's called Area 53
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
The one I've opened so far was on my main, whose ships are named for scientists; for the nonce at least his is the Kellis.
(Dr. Kellis was the researcher in the Newsflesh stories by Seanan McGuire/"Mira Grant" who was working on an airborne modified virus to cure the array of diseases known as "the common cold". The unproved virus was released by activists who were convinced he'd somehow manage to limit its effects to the rich, then merged with a genetically-modified version of the Marburg "ebola" virus which was designed to cure cancer. The two together became Kellis-Amberlee, a virus which would set up reservoirs inside any mammalian creature. Nobody had colds, nobody developed cancer - and on death or exposure to someone else's KA infection, any mammal weighing more than 40 pounds would "amplify", reactivating as basically a zombie, infecting as many others as possible and eating flesh to feed the body that was now basically a carrier for more virus.
(The novels take up a bit more than 20 years later; zombification on death is just a fact people deal with, there are parts of the country where it's illegal to go, and bloggers are now the go-to for correct information after the major news networks just spread the official government propaganda during the first wave.)

I'm going another route with it.
I made a Benzite captain named Blasto the Jellyfish and will be naming the ship "U.S.S. Enkindle This"
