I have been spending all my time in game doing STFs and patrolling around New Romulus and these Wells class ships keep showing up to help me in the patrol missions. What is this? Is it something I'm doing or is this just some new "feature"?

It's a random feature. Sometimes, you might get Shon and the Enterprise.

Ah, I had an Enterprise and a Klingon thing join me at one point too but I thought they were just part of the mission.

I thought something was odd because the Wells' kept showing up in the Romulan fleet actions too.

Consider yourself lucky...lol

I have yet to encounter either one on a mission.

I kept having them drop in on the Azure Nebula and the Vault Ensnared missions. I kept thinking there was a Wells on the team and its console clones were running away from it.

I thought one popped up when I hit my Photonic Fleet the other day, but it turned out to be one of the Helpers.

Have the Temporal Police not arrested Braxton for his blatant breaches of the Temporal Prime Directive, helping out in 25th century battles.

Isn't the whole theme of the tholian thing supposed to be temporal related? Thus far I've only seen the Wells show up to fight Tholians.. never anywhere else?

They certainly do help in the fight. Though their effectiveness is questionable.. they do sometimes use abilities on your ship too I've noticed.

Sometimes while in a fight, my dreadnought will just randomly jump 2-5k away from the enemies I'm fighting. Odd.. considering I have no console that can do that.

However.. it actually saved me from a web once... where I got jumped right out of a web that had just formed on me.
