Console – Universal – High-Energy Plasma Expulsers



The Hestia Class Advanced Escort comes equipped with the High-Energy Plasma Expulsers console. The inclusion of special heat sinks and particle exciters allow the ship to vent dangerous plasma fire, causing plasma damage to nearby enemy ships. When separated in Multi-Vector Assault Mode, the separated sections of the ship will all ignite simultaneously. Using Command bridge officer abilities causes this plasma fire aura to "flare up" and cause even more damage to nearby enemies.

This console provides a passive bonus to plasma and tetryon damage resistance as well as a small boost to Weapon Power.

This Console Mod can be equipped only on Advanced Escorts Variants, in any console slot. You may only equip one of these mods.

Numerical Superiority [T6]



After achieving level 5 in the Advanced Escort [T6] starship mastery, you will unlock the Numerical Superiority starship trait. While slotted, you gain a small damage bonus that increases as more allies target your targeted foe.
