Overview
The Legendary Temporal Operative Science Vessel makes the leap from the past to the future and back again. Using recently declassified mycelial technology and incorporating modifications made to the Crossfield class U.S.S. Discovery by Ensign Tilly, Lieutenant Stamets and Commander Reno, the Legendary Temporal Operative Science Vessel is equipped with a Molecular Reconstruction Array, the Mycelium Ambush and Weaponized Helical Torsion consoles, Sensor Analysis, and Subsystem targeting. The Legendary Temporal Operative Science Vessel is equipped to face any challenge from any universe at any point in history, past, present or future.
Strengths
The Legendary Temporal Operative Science Vessel is an excellent platform upon which to design an exotic damage build. It is highly amneuverable, which is importnat when many exotic damage abilities depend on keeping the enemy in a relatively small arc in front of the ship. In addition, the bridge officer seating is designed in a way that facilitates the use of critical science-based abilities.
The Sensor Analysis ability inherent to science ships, as well as a considerable built-in boost to Auxiliary Power, make the Legendary Temporal Operative Science Vessel an excellent choice for captains looking to make the most of their space magic.
Equipment
This build uses easily-obtained equipment, including only standard gear and pieces which can be obtained through Fleet Holdings and/or mission rewards. See below for upgrade suggestions using more difficult-to-obtain gear.
Clearly, upgrading gear to Mark XV and Epic quality will provide the best results. However, see the Suggested Upgrades section below before heavily investing in gear you may be replacing before long.
Weapons
As this is an exotic damage build, weapons are secondary. Torpedoes will be used as primary weapons because they have no requirement for weapon power, allowing the captain to allocate maximum auxilliary power.
Polaron weapons will be used in a secondary role, to maximize set bonuses.
Fore Weapons
- Trilithium Tricobalt Torpedo Launcher from the New Frontiers mission "Beyond the Nexus"
- Photon Torpedo Launcher (x3)
The Trilithium Tricobalt Torpedo Launcher used with Console - Engineering - Reinforced Armaments enables the two-piece bonus of the Trilithium-Laced Weaponry set, which increases weapon cycle haste and flight speed.
Aft Weapons
- Chronometric Polaron Beam Array
- Omni-Directional Chronometric Polaron Beam Array
Using the Chronometric Polaron Beam Array and Omni-Directional Chronometric Polaron Beam Array together with the Console - Tactical - Chronometric Capacitor (all from the Future Proof mission "Time and Tide") enables the three bonus from the Chronometric Calculations Set. This will boost Auxiliary Power and enable the Chronometric Energy Converter ability, which increases both Exotic and Weapon Damage.
Deflector
- Solanae Deflector Array from the Solanae Dyson Sphere mission "A Step Between Stars"
Secondary Deflector
- Deteriorating Secondary Deflector
The Elite Fleet Intervention Protomatter Deflector Array provides additional Impulse Expertise, as well as bonuses to Weapon Specialization and Shield Penetration to make this build even more deadly.
Impulse
- Solanae Hyper-Efficient Impulse Engines from the Solanae Dyson Sphere mission "A Step Between Stars"
Core
- Obelisk Subspace Rift Warp Core from the Solanae Dyson Sphere mission "Sphere of Influence"
Shield
- Solanae Resilient Shield Array from the Solanae Dyson Sphere mission "A Step Between Stars"
Devices
- Auxiliary Battery
- Shields Battery
- Subspace Field Modulator from the "Skirmish" mission.
Engineering Consoles
- Console - Engineering - RCS Accelerator
- Console - Engineering - Trellium-D Plating from Future Proof mission "Ragnarok."
Science Consoles
- Console - Science - Restorative Particle Focuser (x5) from the Fleet Research Lab holding.
Tactical Consoles
- Console - Tactical - Chronometric Capacitor from the Future Proof mission "Time and Tide"
- Console - Universal - Mycelium Ambush
- Console - Universal - Weaponized Helical Torsion
- Console - Universal - Auxiliary Warp Core Ejection from the Kelvin Timeline Constitution-class Cruiser
