Star Trek Online: Stormbound Rewards - Week 2

By LaughingTrendy | Thu 26 Nov 2015 09:00:00 AM PST

Each week we’ll roll out an additional reward for the Featured Episode “Stormbound”. Last week’s reward was the Quantum Phase Deflector. This week’s reward are the Quantum Phase Combat Impulse Engines. In addition, the first completion of this mission on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward Box. This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box, which gives the character who opens it a Specialization Point. The Weekly Reward Box, Tech Upgrade, and Specialization Point Box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point Box requires the opening character to be level 50 or above.

Quantum Phase Combat Impulse Engines are a prototype attempt to harness quantum phase transitions within an Impulse Engine’s Driver Coils as the primary method of propulsion. While the result was deemed impractical by Starfleet Engineering to push to mass production, the prototype’s capabilities are quite impressive. The phase transitions allow for additional power to be routed through the ship’s Auxiliary systems, resulting in a higher baseline Auxiliary power level. This effect is most noticeable when travelling at Full Impulse, where the Driver Coils can re-route enough power to offer a significant enhancement to a ship’s Flow Capacitors, Particle Generators, and Electro-Plasma Systems. This enhanced effect persists while in Full Impulse and for a short while thereafter.

The Quantum Phase Combat Impulse Engines are part of the Quantum Phase Application set. Collect pieces from this set to unlock powerful set bonuses:

Quantum Phase Applications Set

Shield Frequency Cycling (2piece)

This 2 piece bonus increases your shield capacity while reducing the damage your shields take from energy weapons.

Energy Weapon Entanglement (3 piece)

This 3 piece bonus enhances your energy weapons fire when activated. While active, your weapons fire applies a stacking Energy Weapon Damage debuff to foes, while increasing your Energy Weapon Damage by the same amount.

Next week we’ll reveal week three’s reward for “Stormbound.” Stay tuned!
