#StarTrekOnline | Your #Temptress- The #TempestClass – The Patrol Escort Refit –

 

When I first look at the Temptress, Tempest Class, in which is class as Patrol Escort, in which looking at the ship, with is smaller frame of size it’s more agile that the heavy Tactical Escort carriers like the Armitage, Alita , Akria, Thunderchild, classes of that variant.. In which are larger vessels of that type in which gives them an overall advantage over larger heavier vessels…… of being medium least in size… Which speed with swift attacks will be an advantage as to likes of the Defiant….

The overall Tempest has nostalgic look with the main hull engineering like a world war two fighter aircraft fuselage with saucer as its primary wings like a Douglas Aircraft DC three with a supersonic look nose, in most ways to get an advantage is to look at the ships customisation, in giving her a different tailoring look will give you an additive advantage how the ship moves in combat too..

Overall the ship is a Tactical vessel in which you can lacing the weapons consoles with a mixture of cannons, turrets, torpedoes to accessories with to some interesting deceptive moves to cover all sides of the vessel due to the high maneuverability it has with close range combat, in weaken your opponents shields down then going for more hulling, vessel system failure..

Your Temptress, known as the Tempest Class, is classed as a Blockade, Patrol escort aswell in which it has a universal weapons console, the a Nadion Saturation device, in which they will received injuries your opponents in massive way in one series wide angled direction which very similar to a Heavy Tactical Escort carriers to Universal Point Defence system console but very limited firing angled range..

This is one ship class that will cause a nice quick whirlpool of damage; it’s nice, very quick to handle than the tactical escort or its refit… This ship class is the newly revision Fleet Maelstrom class. Also it’s the successor to the temptress Tempest Class that recently came out into service..  even though it’s an older design, but It also replaces the existing  fleet Maelstrom version that you previously have..

Finding the Maelstrom, the Blockade escort, as previously said is the strip down version of the Armitage class or the heavy escort, carrier or its refit, and fleet refit.  It can handle itself pretty well, in most conditions…. Finding it in terms of weapons payload, it’s best to have dual heavy cannons in three plus one torpedo launcher, the rear on three turrets, to maximize the firepower depending what arrangements of your tactical stations are..  as the fused After Tempest tail gun is very akin to the universal point defenses system but with limited firing angle..

In view it’s basically a full on tactical and engineering class vessel, if you look at the consoles modifications below you’ll see..  Having the abilities of reinstalling the Nadion Saturation bomb console from the tempest onto the fleet Maelstrom, also it now comes with a fused aft tempest tail gun…  One advantage that you have than from the Tempest is the baseline Hull Strength rating of 34,700 than of the Tempest is 31,500 which gives you an added advantage to fight the fight..

Customizing the look of your ship can add an advantage, to the way how you combat and move… the good thing though its attainable as a tier one fleet shipyard ship..it’s length is roughly about 345 meters..

The Fleet tier one Maelstrom class comes with revisited…

When I first look at this vessel today or night, looking at the Tempest, then looking at the overall consoles and the overall feel of how it worked, finding it was an intriguing ship to have but, it could be spelled out on the consoles on engineering and science in which, I was amaze how least, it was in compare to the Maelstrom escort class.  orthough I’ve been warned from reading the post on the Tempest class on how it offered the console abilities of having a Nadion Saturation Bomb, in which it causes massive arrays of damage creating a ropes of explosive fire like a cluster bombing  in one wide angled direction.. With those series of denotations effecting the other ships in combat..

Having trying it out briefly in the encounter zones, I’ve realize this ship class was the ship class before I’ve had the Heavy Tactical Escort, like the Akria, the Thunderchild, and the Armitage Class. Orthough smaller and larger than the USS Defiant. It moves pretty swiftly as you close in range with full cannons in front, with turrets at the rear weapons bay, with a good spread of torpedoes to do some serious kinetic damage, but making sure that you keep in mind of your forwarding shields has they could be easily weaken if you leave your attack position to long..

There’s something interesting in the rear its auto firing canon that’s is seated install permanently in the tail section, with its ninety degree firing range in which is closely similar to the Thunder Child Universal Point Defense system console but very limited firing angled range..

Given that the Tempest class is a Blockade and Patrol escort it can do some serious damage as given if you get the fleet version of the Blockade Escort, then savaging the Tempest then having the tempest hulling look and customizing the look by shorting the length of the hull, in which will give you a fair advantage in getting that turn rate to rotate your shields and then folly again quickly..

Looking at the Tempest class, makes an interesting ship as a vessel tactical abilities akiness just to the advanced, blockade escorts then to the heavy escort and it’s carrier variant and the Galaxy Dreadnought… As it’s more geared to Engineering and Tactical, but having more of those consoles bridge stations…  with that that in mind it you get in there quick do some serious damage then move on to the next…
