With the winter event well under way and some people buying out the event, I was wondering how does the ship stack up? Honestly I like the look, it has a Steamrunner vibe to it, but with raider flanking, cmdr sci/intel, lt/cmdr uni/mw. But the thing that has piqued my interest is the console.
Console Power - Custom Power Matrix
This console handles a series of custom wiring and system overhauls meant to improve the overall management of power across the entire starship. It comes with 3 preprogrammed specialized routines meant to divert power from one of three subsystems into other parts of the energy matrix. Activating any of these routines will increase the performance of Bridge Officers. Diverting power from Shields will boost your weapons’ Firing Cycle, diverting power from Auxiliary will increase your weapons’ Critical Chance, and diverting power from the Engine will increase your weapons’ Critical Severity. All 3 routines can be online at the same time.
This console additionally provides a passive bonus to your Shields/Engine/Auxiliary
Subsystems power or Power Transfer Rate depending on if it's equipped into a Science/Tactical/Engineering/Universal console slot.
Now until we have the numbers on this it just seems 'cool' but could it be the new 'meta' console?

So how does one activate these various preprogrammed specialized routines in order to get all the bonuses? Would a player simply activate the console as often as possible? A recharge time of 10 seconds seems pretty quick.
Having so many bonuses in one console sounds very generous but also seems kinda scary at the same time.
You just activate them and leave them on, that's it; you have to manually turn them off and on. Whilst it's generous, you are losing 15 power EACH on each subsystem you divert from, so it is costly to run without having a source of extra power to offset it. The Temporal Disentanglement Suite is less costly for +5.3 Aux, 0-2.5 Crit, 0-10% CritH compared to 5% Crit, 15% CritH and 20% Haste for 45 (less 20 if not equipped in Uni seat) power.
Cool.
It'll be interesting to see how this new console works out.
Nice reference.
Going to name mine the 'Meredith'

As in actually something naughty or just "Something Naughty" and call it a day since I probably would do the second option, saves me from figuring out something that doesn't make me look like 12 year old who just discovered swearing is a thing and works still as joke (and as bonus you should be forced to changed that as it's not against the rules).
Would have to agree that the second option is probably a lot easier
BRING BACK THE FOUNDRY!
You should have access to ALL bridges you've unlocked. So you can put any bridge on it that comes with any ship on a particular character. So... for example if you picked up the Nagus Marauder, you can put the Ferengi bridge on the Eleos.

On Fed character this is not an issue, since as you say they can use any unlocked bridge. On other factions this might be big problem, since it is "Any" faction ship.
BRING BACK THE FOUNDRY!
I could put the Mirror Crossfield bridge on the Eleos on my KDF if I wanted.
