Get Captain Lorcano's Nova One, next week in the Infinity Lock Box on PC!
By Ambassador Kael September 13, 2024, 08:00 AM

Starting with the launch of the Dimensional Typhoon Event on PC, a new ship will be available in the Infinity Lock Box - the Nova One from Lower Decks!

This ship is a recreation of the original flagship of the disbanded Nova Fleet, the Nova One, which was atomized during the activation of the Genesis Device that created the Class M Planet Locarno. Being a completely custom design, some of the elements seem to ignore or completely go against Starfleet Shipmaking Standards and Safety Protocols. It is advised that when flying this model, pilots refrain from engaging in dangerous maneuvers.

This starship features a Commander Universal/Pilot specialist seat and a Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Miracle Worker specialist seat.

Console – Universal – Nova Fleet Recruitment Drive

This ship is equipped with a Console - Universal - Nova Fleet Recruitment Drive. Contrary to popular belief, Nick Locarno's main skill wasn't Piloting, but convincing people to follow him down a dangerous path. This device emits a beam which was initially thought to be capable of destroying ships. In truth, it broadcasts a message manipulating low-ranking members of a ship's crew and forces them to mutiny. The chaos and destruction that ensues can range from Bridge Officers seeing their abilities delayed to ships temporarily defecting.

"He's an idiot and his plan is stupid. He's gonna get you all killed 'cause he only cares about himself." - Lt. Beckett Mariner


Experimental Weapon – Nova Starburst

This starship also comes with an Experimental Weapon slot, equipped with a Nova Starburst. This weapon uses a plasma canister as a projectile, this weapons creates a dangerous cloud that deals damage over time to anyone inside it. After a few seconds the plasma is ignited creating an explosion on an area several times bigger than the initial plasma cloud.


Starship Trait – Bold Piloting

Upon reaching level 5 in this starship's mastery, you will unlock the Bold Piloting Trait.

There are bold pilots, and then there are old pilots - but there are no old bold pilots.


After being expelled from Starfleet Academy, Nick Locarno became obsessed with proving he was an Ace Pilot. He would forgo safety measures in order to show off his skills. One such case involved tampering with standard engine boosting protocols to achieve greater maximum speed. This let him deal damage to other ships and partially bypass shields by grazing during hot pursuits. Due to stress applied to engine subsystems, Locarno's special move could only be used sparingly. This move gained intergalactic notoriety, until it one day became known as: the Locarno Maneuver.

I think that's going to be a no from me.

The Obena Class might have got my attention though.

The experimental weapon sounds gimmick-y enough to interest me, but nothing I would actively pursue. Look wise it kinda reminds me of a NX shuttlepod

[ForTheGamer]

I think it looks something like a Lukari would've made as a prototype ship.
