The Solanae Dyson Sphere wasn’t just a portal to another part of our universe, it was also a gateway to vast, new technologies that were taken on by all of the major factions in our quadrant. Now that these major factions have teamed together to become the Khitomer Alliance, they have shared this technology even closer, allowing for a three-way breakthrough and even more powerful Science Destroyer ships. Starting May 2nd at 8am PT on PC, you can purchase these ships individually in the Zen Store, or as part of the Dyson Bundle.

Kardashev Dyson Science Destroyer

Years after the experimental rollout of a line of starships built to incorporate technology found within the Solanae Dyson Sphere, Alliance engineers have continued refining this technology and further innovating on those first forays. This updated line up of Dyson Science Destroyers has been upgraded and modernized with the very latest in ship building technology, as well as updated versions of some of the unique Dyson Sphere technology originally found on their predecessor vessels.

Experimental Weapon – Experimental Dual Heavy Proton Emitter

(This weapon is available on all three ships.)

Scientists and Engineers working to further understand the Solanae technology found within the recently-discovered Dyson Spheres have found a way to leverage this technology as more of a debilitating weapon than previous iterations. It will synergize with Engine, Shield, and Auxiliary Subsystem Power of your ship in order to cause additional debilitating effects to the targeted enemy.

Console - Universal - Networked Protonic Shield Matrix

This is an upgraded version of previous console tech originally only allowed on Dyson starships, but now made available for all starships. Upon activation, the ship will briefly store and then divert tremendous amounts of proton particles to periodically reinforce your shields for awhile, as well as those of nearby allies. This will cause all affected starships to negate large amounts of damage every few seconds for a short time.

This console also provides a passive increase to your Max Engine Subsystem Power, and Max Hull Capacity.

This Console can be equipped in any console slot. You may only equip one of these.

Starship Trait - Protonic Carrier Wave

Whenever you deal Proton Damage you gain a stacking buff to Drain Expertise (stacks up to 5 times) and also reduces the recharge times on all Drain Bridge Officer Abilities, and all Command Bridge Officer Abilities. This may only trigger once every 2 seconds.

Console - Universal - Proton Eruptor Module

This is an upgraded version of previous console tech originally only allowed on Dyson starships, but now made available for all starships. When activated, this allows you to draw power from your warp core to emit a devastating proton beam from your deflector focused on a nearby enemy. This blast of energy then reverberates off of their hull, turning them into a beacon of energy that also deals additional Proton damage to other nearby foes every second.

This console also provides a passive increase to your Max Weapons Subsystem Power, and Critical Severity with Exotic Damage Abilities.

This Console can be equipped in any console slot. You may only equip one of these.

Starship Trait - Protonic Graviton Exchange

While you have Secondary Shielding from any source, activating Tactical Team, or any Intel Boff Ability, consumes all Secondary Shielding to fuel a burst of Proton Damage to Foes within 5km. The damage dealt is equal to the amount of Shields consumed.

This effect will only be triggered if your current amount of Secondary Shielding is over 500, and has a 20 sec lockout.

Console - Universal - Reverberant Shield Inversion Projector

This is an upgraded version of previous console tech originally only allowed on Dyson starships, but now made available for all starships. By emitting a devastating Tachyon-laced blast from your deflector, you can cause all foes in a larger area at the target to suffer a brief collapse of their shields in a wave of energy. The affected enemies will have their suffer heavy shield drain as well as proton damage. Allies close enough to an affected enemy will receive a moderate amount of secondary shielding by absorbing the offcast shields of the enemies.

This console also provides a passive increase to your Max Shield Subsystem Power, and Max Shield Capacity.

This Console can be equipped in any console slot. You may only equip one of these.
 

Starship Trait - Siphoned Defenses

Activating a Drain Bridge Officer Ability, or any Temporal Operative Bridge Officer Ability, grants a moderate amount of Secondary Shielding. This cannot be triggered while you already have Secondary Shielding from this trait.
 

Equipping multiple Consoles from this bundle provides a set bonus!

2 Piece Bonus:  Refractive Particulates

• -50% Threat Generation
• +XX% Proton Damage (scales with Aux Power) [bonus is +25% at 100 Aux Power]

3 Piece Bonus: Protonic Overclocking
