Prolonged Engagement Phaser Beam Array

Beam Arrays are the most common and versatile weapons available. They fire a series of average damage beams across a wide arc. Energy weapons are equally effective against starship shields and hull. Phaser space weapons have a chance to knock a single subsystem offline for several seconds.

The Prolonged Engagement weapon is built in such a way that it starts out slightly weaker than other Phaser Beam Arrays, but as the engagement endures the weapon becomes stronger with each activation, eventually outperforming its contemporaries.
 * Deals 90% to 115% of the normal damage of a Phaser Beam Array, based on stacks of Amplifying Relays.

May only equip one Prolonged Engagement Energy weapon per starship.

Prolonged Engagement Photon Torpedo
Available from the .

Game Description
Inspired by a cadet's trick to cheat victory in a no-win simulation, the Prolonged Engagement set of gear accumulates excess energy from battle and puts it to useful purpose. The cadet's simulated gear set produced produced [sic] a devastating Photonic Cascade Torpedo, inspiring a real prototype... and a security revision of the no-win sumulation.

The Prolonged Engagement Torpedo starts out with a slower rate of fire than comprable [sic] torpedoes, but gains speed as combat continues. Each discharge of the launcher carries a 20% chance to grant +10 Armor Penetration to the firing starship for 8 seconds (100% chance for Bridge Officer Torpedo powers).

Console - Universal - Prolonged Engagement Power Dynamo
Available from the .

Game Description
The Prolonged Engagement Power Dynamo is designed to passively capture energy from the routine mechanical operations of combat, and convert it into useful electricity that increases your ship's Subsystem Power levels. As the skirmish endures, the excess power level grows until the capacitors are filled. At any time, the Console can be activated to temporarily double the accumulated power - however doing so will flush the capacitors of energy and briefly disable the Power Proliferation protocol for the Dynamo Console.

This Console Mod can be equipped on any ship, in any console slot. You may only equip one of these mods on any single ship.

Set powers
For each item added after the first, an additional power is available.

Set 2: Endurance Training
 * 7.5% recharge time on all Bridge Officer abilities

Set 3: Photonic Cascade Torpedo
 * Activating the Power Dynamo causes the next Prolonged Engagement torpedo launched to be a Photonic Cascade Torpedo. It deals 300% base damage, +10% bonus damage per 6 seconds of the combat's duration, up to +800% bonus damage at 8 minutes.
 * Note: This supersedes other torpedo enhancing abilities.
