Just looking for an opinion. As much as I like the set, using both the reinforced armaments console and phaser omni beam, I'm wondering if it's worth it on my Constitution class. When I swapped to it from the Odyssey, I essentially just copied the build, removing an RCS console in favour of the T6 Connie console. The Connie is a lot more manoeuvrable however so leaving aside the haste bonus, I'm not sure the extra 15% speed is really a make or break factor of the build. I wanted to try out the sensor linked phasers for a change over my PEN ones as I've had a set of them in the bank for a long time, but I'd need to lose the omni beam as I don't like mixing weapon visuals, so that blows the 2 piece bonus. Just in 2 minds if it's worth it or not.

I like the Omni for the Haste, I even use it with my sensor-linked phasers, I just match it with the kinetic cutting beam so I have two beams . I really don't care for the set bonuses, reinforced armaments is good but there are better fish in the sea, so yeah I just use the Omni.

If you phaser, and DPS, then yes. Otherwise, meh.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained - I'll need to make a few tweaks to the mods over the next few days but I'll take it out and see how I get on. If it doesn't go to plan, I can press the sensor linked weapons into service on an alt when AoD launches. Cheers all!

Beaming in from the 'couv', the trilithium tricobalt trifecta.

That’s a mouthful of triples there, right? Before I explain this tongue twisting title, I’ll mention that Season 14 has launched and I will be reviewing more content soon. I have run the new mission with Captain LaForge, the second mission with Levar Burton’s voice work. Both of the missions are fairly short and since we have to repeat them to get the full series of prizes the brief length is a bonus.

This mission features a reward of a five piece space set although only four are required as the warp core and singularity core are mutually exclusive. This set has the aforementioned cores and a space set with deflector, engines, and shield. Glancing at the descriptions and set bonuses they do look promising. Each week a new piece of the set will unlock so you need to do the mission once per week per character.

The new season also brings some additional new material including another captain’s specialization tree, “Miracle Worker.” This one is engineering based which makes sense considering the addition of Geordi LaForge to the mix. Admiral Sager had enough specialization points stashed to max the system out on day one. I’ll take some time in the next week or so to eval the system.

They added a new fleet project but it appears to be seriously grindy and it is not being well reviewed by the community.

All this week the shifty little Ferengi, Gyrm in Drozana Station is giving away freebies so each day, so be sure to stop in and get yours. The little weasel will give you a random token of varying “rarity” and you then open his store and purchase items with the token. Hey, who doesn’t like free stuff?

The last piece is the torpedo launcher. Trilithium Tricobalt Torpedo Launcher to complete the Trilithium Enhanced Trifecta. The Trilithium seems to increase weapon speed on the two energy weapons but the painfully slow recycling Tricolbalt launcher gets no such love. 30 seconds may as well be next month! Tricobalt torpedos should do ten times the damage they do to offset the ridiculous long recharge time. But Cryptic is terrified of powerful weapons so they nerfed it to the point of being useless.

I have long opined on the futility of tricobalt torpedoes and this launcher is no different, it still sucks ass. But the set bonuses are pretty solid and having a tricobalt launcher on the aft of a big clumsy cruiser is not such a bad thing.

Overall I would say players failing to participate in the easy mission to get these three items are foolish. I have a lot of ships and I can always find room on one of them for a cool set like this.

Would the weapon haste also work on any pets you have say if you had the tactical odyssey with its pet defiant

I have not tested it on pets but the description suggests it is primary ship only by omission of any reference to pets.

I haven’t played since the iconian war but tempted to dust off my tac odyssey for those items

Trilithium ore

Trilithium was a compound that, as of 2371 , was experimental. By 2373 , it was carried on some Federation starships . Trilithium was a nuclear inhibitor which could stop all fusion within a star by way of quantum implosion . ( Star Trek Generations ; DS9 : " For the Uniform ")

Dilithium and paralithium could both be converted into trilithium, while the explosion of trilithium might result in trilithium resin , a highly toxic substance that could also be used as a weapon. ( VOY : " The Chute "; DS9 : " For the Uniform "; TNG : " Starship Mine ") A trilithium signature might show up in the theta-band . ( Star Trek Generations )

A line from the script of Star Trek Generations , not in the final film, also notes trilithium to be a derivative of some unmentioned substance.

History [ ]

As of the early 2370s , Starfleet was aware that the Romulans had been working on trilithium, but had not found a way to stabilize it. Some Romulan trilithium was stolen in a raid by the Duras sisters , who were contracted to deliver it to Dr. Tolian Soran , in exchange for a functional trilithium-based weapon . Soran used the trilithium to collapse the star Amargosa , in an effort to change the course of the Nexus ribbon. He planned to do the same to the star Veridian , as he added the cloaking device for another trilithium-based solar probe missile on the surface of Veridian III , in which would have destroyed the pre-industrial civilization on Veridian IV . Soran's plans were thwarted by the USS Enterprise -D . ( Star Trek Generations )

A trilithium-based explosive was used by the Akritirian terrorist group Open Sky to bomb the Laktivia recreational facility in 2373 . The trilithium used was synthesized from paralithium from an Akritirian freighter . The USS Voyager was originally implicated in the attack, since there was no source of trilithium present in their system or indeed their sector, but it could be synthesized from dilithium , which powered Voyager 's engines. ( VOY : " The Chute ")

Later that year in the Alpha Quadrant , the USS Defiant carried trilithium. Captain Benjamin Sisko ordered two quantum torpedos to be outfitted with cargo pods carrying two hundred kilograms of trilithium each, which when detonated in the atmosphere of Solosos III poisoned it with trilithium resin , rendering the planet uninhabitable to Humans for fifty years. ( DS9 : " For the Uniform ")

Shortly thereafter, the Dominion attempted to detonate a device containing trilithium, tekasite , and protomatter into the Bajoran sun , by way of a Changeling infiltrator hijacking the runabout USS Yukon . At that time, a combined Federation , Klingon , and Romulan fleet was gathered at Deep Space 9 in anticipation of a supposed Dominion attack. The attack was a ruse to wipe out all three fleets and Bajor in a single stroke with the supernova of the Bajoran sun . The Defiant was able to tractor the Yukon away from the sun, and the bomb exploded harmlessly in open space. ( DS9 : " By Inferno's Light ")

By 2375 , high concentrations of trilithium isotopes indicated the presence of Romulan plasma torpedoes . ( DS9 : " Image in the Sand ")

That same year, the Silver Blood USS Voyager collected samples of trilithium ore . ( VOY : " Course: Oblivion ")

According to the Pocket Books novel Battlestations! , the 23rd century Federation transwarp drive engine design, instead of dilithium, utilized solid trilithium that retains integrity for workable periods of time. Created in a process of extreme refinement of standard dilithium, it allowed the use of the advanced compacted flow of energy that was required by the transwarp drive.

Synopsis [ | ]

The Alliance has sent you to aid legendary Starfleet captain Geordi La Forge in investigating the Nexus, a stellar phenomenon that visits this part of the galaxy only once every 39.1 years.

Outline [ | ]

Mission text [ | ], federation [ | ].

We recently received a distress signal from the U.S.S. Forrestal - a ship we thought was lost in the Nexus back in 2332 . We sent the U.S.S. Madison out to investigate, but they haven't checked in for some time. Considering the Nexus is involved, they could be in trouble. The Madison's last known position was in the Rotanev system . Meet with the U.S.S. Challenger there to investigate the situation - her captain has some experience with the Nexus.

Notes [ | ]

• Beyond the Nexus was released on September 12, 2017 as part of Season 13.5 . It served as yet another part of Cryptic's on-going year of events commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation . A special event was held until October 3rd. During this time, the mission had a minimum rank of 10 and rewarded a new special [ Featured Episode Weekly Reward ] once per account, per week for an effective event total of three. The Reward Box contains a choice of either one [ Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade ] , or one Specialization Point (claimable by all, but only usable on Level 50+ characters).
• The Borg drones encountered in the U.S.S. Madison' s holodeck are unable to adapt to energy weapon fire, the only mission outside of the Federation tutorial where the Borg exhibit this trait.
• The Forrestal crew encountered in the mission use era-specific Wrath of Khan uniforms and weaponry.
• The Dilithium Mining minigame is reskinned in this mission for use in the Bypassing Security portion.
• Prior to being placed in the early game storyline, Beyond the Nexus served as a teaser for “Melting Pot” and Season 14 as well. Instead of mentioning the dangers of studying the Nexus, Geordi discussed his involvement with a joint Lukari-Kentari project . Additionally, the Madison crew encountered used Jupiter uniforms instead of NPC-standard Odyssey . Geordi La Forge also used a Type 3 phaser rifle of the type used primarily in Star Trek: The Next Generation instead of the standard phaser rifle used by other Federation NPC's.
• As of 7 February, 2018, this mission has been moved back to the New Frontiers arc for Federation and Federation-aligned Romulan captains.
• 2 Playable starship
• 3 Phoenix Prize Pack
