Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

The Heavy Cruiser Refit comes equipped with a Warp Burst Capacitor console. This unique piece of equipment allows you to execute a short-duration high-warp burst that confuses enemy sensors into thinking there are two versions of your vessel for a short period of time. This quick burst of coherent warp travel facilitates a Federation tactic known colloquially as the "The Picard Maneuver."
The Picard Maneuver grants you a few moments of untargetable status, and moves your ship a good distance forward along your current trajectory in an instant. It also offers you a noticeable tactical advantage. You will be granted a short duration ambush damage bonus immediately after the warp burst.

The Warp Burst Capacitor console can be equipped on any starship, and can be put into any of their console slots. You may only equip one of these consoles.

The Heavy Cruiser Refit configuration includes the Constellation, Cheyenne, Stargazer, and Dakota class costumes. Purchasing the Heavy Cruiser Refit unlocks the Constellation costume for all Heavy Cruiser ship variants.
