Which console slot will i have to give up to use it

*hugs the internets*

*whispers* "I love you internets..."

Science consoles most likely. The +18 ones arent significant anyway compared to each of these consloles.

I wonder, is there even a shared cooldown on these new crapabilities? Or can you just fill your ship with 6 7 or 8 universal OP consoles?

So far, I don't think there are any ships that can hold two of the new universal consoles. (They are all limited by ship class). But they did introduce a shared cooldown between the Decoy console and Ablative Armor.

If I was a designer of these consoles, I would put such a limitation in from the start. That avoids unwanted side effects of combining different powers.

But of course, I am not a professional game designer. I just look at what WotC does. :p

I was rather hoping for explosive sheep

Well, i know you can't even put 2 of the isometric charge consoles onto the same ship, i tried

Dont forget there are still many more of these nubconsloles on the way, im sure there will be a new exploit to exploit (lol) somewhere along the road....

This will probably come out with the Captain level Defiant reskin. It'll be a tactical console that can be used on any Escort. They've already done one for Science and Engineering... so we can only assume Tactical is next.

Though it won't be a cat, for us it will be a Tribble Torpedo that hits and shuts down all of the targets systems.

I like smoothies.

Not with big chunks of fruit in em, I like em blended well.

And capers. Lots of capers.
