Overview
Molecular Reconstruction is a built-in Starship Mechanic only available to players using Temporal starships. Starships that fall into this category are:

Basic Information

 * Profession: Any
 * Locale: Space
 * Game Description: Temporal Starships are capable of making subtle alterations on the molecular level through the use of Molecular Reconstruction. This technology allows the starship to assume 1 of 3 different Configurations: Defensive, Offensive and Support. Additionally, the player may choose to have no active Configuration. Each Configuration has its own strengths and weaknesses. Each of the Configurations generates their own specific counter. A ship may have up to 6 Configuration Counters at a time. After reaching 6 Counters, any additionally generated ones will be lost. These Counters are used to fuel your Molecular Deconstruction Beam.

Defensive Configuration
Defensive Configuration

While this configuration is active, the starship's systems will dynamically reconfigure to fill more of a defensive role. This provides a boost to Maximum Shield Power and Incoming Hull Healing. This comes at a cost of a small reduction to Flight Speed and Turn Rate. Defensive Configuration generates 1 Defensive Counter every 10 seconds.

Offensive Configuration
Offensive Configuration

While this configuration is active, the starship's systems will dynamically reconfigure to fill more of an offensive role. This provides a boost to Maximum Engine Power, Speed, and Turn. This comes at a cost of a small reduction of Incoming Hull Healing. Offensive Configuration generates 1 Offensive Counter every 10 seconds.

Support Configuration
Support Configuration

While this configuration is active, the starship's systems will dynamically reconfigure to fill more of a support role. This provides a boost to Maximum Auxiliary Power, Control Expertise skill, and Exotic Damage. This comes at a cost of a small reduction to Energy Weapon Damage. Support Configuration generates 1 Support Counter every 10 seconds.

Molecular Deconstruction Beam
Molecular Deconstruction Beam

Activating this ability requires a total of 6 Counters generated by Defensive Configuration, Offensive Configuration, or Support Configuration. Molecular Deconstruction Beam deals Physical Damage over time and Disables the target, in addition to healing your hull over time. This power's damage scales with the number of Offensive Counters consumed. Its Hull Healing scales with the number Defensive Counters consumed. Lastly, its Disable duration scales with the number of Support Counters consumed. Activating this ability will consume all Offensive, Defensive and Support Counters generated from Configurations.
