My 8th podcast is available for download here: tinyurl.com/b9vbh6m

Sort of along the lines of the "Night" playlist (No. 6) I posted previously, This one goes a little more in-depth in the spirit of adventure and curiosity.

To those who enjoy venturing out into uncharted star clusters to find those new worlds, or just people who live to see more, this one is dedicated to you.

Enjoy. Never stop exploring. :)

My Take on The Solanae Dyson Science Destroyer:


Photos and my Review to follow shortly


Now I've had the Dyson Science Destroyer for about 24 hours now and I have to firstly say a big well done to Cryptic for such a breath of fresh air in ship design yet still retaining the Federation feel.

1: Design

Aesthetically the Ship look gorgeous with it's sleek design

Thanks to reverse engineering, and hard work from Star fleets best Engineers we have this amazing looking vessel.

2: Functionality

Base Turn is roughly 12 Degrees which makes the Dyson very fast especially handy during combat ( I've done some extensive combat testing on the Borg Dailies)

And have to say the Ship is very capable when you need to evade a heavy Torpedo or Several Cubes firing at you.

Secondary Deflector: This is I have to say absolutely brilliant and really does make a difference when in the heat of battle and gives some valuable seconds to recharge your shields.

Tactical mode :woohoo: :woohoo: : What can I say the humble science vessel becomes a flying Cannon fest " Literally" You essentially have 4 Forward Weapon slots and 3 Aft


Here's some more specs:


Federation Variant – Solanae Class

Faction: Federation
Required Rank: Rear Admiral
Availability: 2014 Anniversary Event Reputation Project
Hull Strength: 28,500
Shield Modifier: 1.3
Crew: 400
Weapons: 3 Fore, 3 Aft (+Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons in Tactical Mode)
Device Slots: 3
Bridge Officer Stations: 1 Ensign Tactical, 1 Lieutenant Commander Tactical, 1 Lieutenant Engineering, 1 Lieutenant Science, 1 Commander Science
Console Modifications: 3 Tactical, 2 Engineering, 4 Science
Base Turn Rate: 12 degrees per second
Impulse Modifier: 0.16
Inertia: 50
+15 Auxiliary Subsystems
Can Equip Dual Cannons
Subsystem Targeting
Sensor Analysis
Secondary Deflector Slot
Solanae Secondary Deflector
Solanae Overcharged Warp Core


The cannons " only activated in Tactical mode ( has a great animation too where the Necells move forward and the Saucer section opens)

This also gives more options at your disposal effectively giving you 4 Fore weapons at your disposal as well as " Tactical " only options.


NOW TACTICAL MODE: Say goodbye to the humble science Vessel and say hello to the Shark " I call it a shark because the fire-power can be brutal.

" You your biological and technical essence will become part of our own"


I also have to say just because it is a " Science" Vessel doesn't necessarily rule out engineer or tactical classes as I think the ship is versatile enough for whoever is at the helm.


It also depends on your play style in my opinion whether your all guns a blazing or the silent type who likes to hit and run.


If you want more info on what I have found out so far or my own take feel free to message me here or in game


T'aranau@cymro1983


See you in game

Greetings!

Where did January go?!? I know everyone is busy collecting Qmendations and some of you already HAVE a Dyson Science ship (WTG!) but if you do get bored of logical Tuvokisms, feel free to drop me some articles, posts and even pictures...for the next edition of the Stonewall Times :)

I'm hoping that someone will cover the new Dyson science destroyers or even a review of Season 8.5 and its changes. Show us your creative juices!

Write long and proper!

Muy Congratz, Brandon! :cheer: Couldn't happen to a nicer fella! I hope this doesn't mean that we won't be seeing you at the Vegas con anymore though? :(

Thank you all for the kind words. This fleet is also another reason I am where I am today, as Nick brought me into the Admiralty prior to the game's launch. I would have never met Mark if it wasn't for this fleet, which would have meant no Priority One, which would have meant probably would never have had the opportunity to work on the game.

So thank you to each of you, and to Nick.

As for CaptainSmirk, I think some of you may know him ;) I'm not going to reveal who he is unless he does first. lol

Cheers,

Brandon =/\=

Holy smokes! I agree with what the others have shared that it's a well deserved promotion!

Congratulations!!!

Also, this works:

I don't think I've ever met anyone who's as passionate about his job, quite as much as BranFlakes. I agree that the promotion's a well earned one!

Grats Brandon!

That's awesome news. A very well deserved promotion.

This is awesome and very much well-deserved!! :woohoo: Wishing him the best of luck in this new role!

Wow, congrats to Brandon, that's a HUGE promotion. On the plus side I expect PWE customer service scores to improve ;)

Quote by Baothezar

I wonder if the new manager is a homo

Meta!

That is deeply insensitive, disparaging, and offensive.

The correct term is 'Butt-Pirate-American'.
