Console – Universal – Assault Mode Relays
The Vaadwaur Astika Heavy Battlecruiser comes equipped with the Assault Mode Relays universal console.
This unit contains sophisticated circuitry designed specifically to facilitate quickly shunting power between engines and weapons in the blink of an eye. Vaadwaur starships frequently make use of this capability to allow their vessels to swap between being highly mobile, and highly deadly. While this "Assault Mode" universally grants benefits to outgoing weapon damage, each class of Vaadwaur vessel utilizes this power swap a little differently, benefiting in different ways.
On the Assault Escort, entering Assault Mode will grant additional shield regeneration and shield hardness for the ship's forward arc.
On the Heavy Battlecruiser, exiting Assault Mode will cripple nearby enemies' sensors by placating all nearby foes.
This universal console also provides a substantial passive increase to turn and flight speed as long as Assault Mode isn’t active.
This Console Mod can be equipped in any console slot. It may be equipped on any Vaadwaur ship. You may only equip one of these mods.
