When did this come about?

How does one obtain it and use it.
Is it worth it.

Also there is a way to improve with skills - do we know which skills?

It is a Cruiser Console that you get when you buy the Venture Pack: it can be used on any Cruiser. It is like a Confuse. The Skills which can increase its duration are listed on the Console Info section.

It's not out yet though is it? The deadline for it's release has come and gone, but still no Venture... I don't blame them though, with all the F2P stuff they need to do.

The Venture should be in today's patch, and should be available on the C-Store after 10 AM PST: in about 2 hours.

I like the anti-mater spread. It has saved me many times yesterday doing the RAs in various sectors. I even did a quick 2v2 private match and seemed to work well against players. I bet it will get nerfed but so far I think it works great, and with a 2 minute cool down - it can't be spammed too much.

other thoughts?

I have grown to like this power fot the RAs alone. Haven't done PVP, but the dailies were a breeze with it too.
