Starfleet Engineering Corps has recently developed a new technology aimed at allowing Cruiser class ships to more easily provide support to their fleets with highly advanced Communication Arrays. These Advanced Comm Arrays allow a Cruiser class ship to quickly provide tactical data to nearby allied starships, granting the cruiser and their allies an extra bit of versatility. The initial prototype of this new technology will first be introduced on Starfleet’s Avenger Class Battle Cruiser, and soon after will be retrofitted onto all Starfleet Cruiser, Battle Cruiser and Flight Deck Cruiser starships.

This is really neat. Still wish they would do something more focused toward the Science side of the branch to get more appeal for it. Game is full of Tacs, Engs, Escorts, and Cruisers.

Side note, Avenger is shaping up to be kinda ugly if you ask me. I'm guessing it will probably be similar to the Fleet Tor'kaht

Can you have multiple cruisers activate the different abilities and have them all in effect? If not, how does it determine which effect has precedence?

example,  3 avengers

the 3 people are within a 5k bubble, and each avenger has a diff abilitiy active they will all recieve 3 buffs the buffs do not stack so more than 1 tac active doesn't help in close formations, spread out lets say in a line format then it would help to have more than 1 of each, the buffs apply to i believe 20 people regardless of group.

hope the water isn't as muddy as before, and hopefully i didn't make it worse.

Nope, explained it quite well, thanks. That's what I hoped was the way it worked, since it would make sense...but then I remembered this is Cryptic we're talking about.

My excelsior and the infamous tech build are going to be doing quite well with the tactical buff
