Console – Universal – Supplemental Subsystems

Activating this console substantially increases your starship’s maximum subsystem power levels for a short time. While active, incoming energy weapon attacks damage the attacker, and leech a small amount of the attacker’s subsystem power back to you. Additionally, you gain a Subsystem Overload Counter each time you are hit with an energy attack. After obtaining 20 counters you emit a devastating pulse of electrical energy which deals heavy damage to nearby enemies. Affected enemies have all of their subsystems knocked offline for a brief period. This console provides a passive bonus to all subsystem power levels. The console mod can only be equipped on Starfleet Dreadnought Cruisers, Advanced Warbirds or Siege Destroyers in any console slot.

Dreadnought Cruiser [T6] – Yamato Class

By equipping both the Supplemental Subsystems universal console (from the Dreadnought Cruiser [T6]) and the Cloaking Device universal console (from the Dreadnought Cruiser or Tactical Escort Retrofit) you will bestow set bonuses to your starship.

Good News, Trekkies!

from StarTrek.com:

“It’s official. Bryan Fuller, who will co-create, produce and serve as showrunner of the upcoming Star Trek series, has just announced the news that Nicholas Meyer has joined the show’s writing staff and will be a consulting producer.

“Nicholas Meyer chased Kirk and Khan ’round the Mutara Nebula and ’round Genesis’ flames, he saved the whales with the Enterprise and its crew, and waged war and peace between Klingons and the Federation. We are thrilled to announce that one of Star Trek’s greatest storytellers will be boldly returning as Nicholas Meyer beams aboard the new Trek writing staff,” said Executive Producer, Bryan Fuller.

Meyer, of course, is beloved by Star Trek fans worldwide for directing (and co-writing, uncredited) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, co-writing Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and co-writing and directing Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

The new Star Trek series, produced by CBS Television Studios, will launch in early 2017. In the U.S., a special premiere episode will air on the CBS Television Network and all subsequent first-run episodes will be available exclusively on CBS All Access. The series will also be available on television stations and platforms in other countries around the world.”

TBT – an unfinished V.I.N.C.E.N.T. 2.0 sketch

Vincent2One of my favorite classic sci-fi films is and always will be The Black Hole: the music, the cast, the over-all cheesieness(?)…it’s fantastic. And the idea of the companion droids (yes, probably a rip from Star Wars, but these speak english)…Always thought the movie should get a re-boot, but the droids should remain close to the original design, just with some modern tweaks…so here was what started as my idea for V.I.N.C.E.N.T. 2.0 (Vital Information Necessary CENTralized). Even broke out the old graph paper for this one. Need to finish it some day…
