Usage / Tips[]
The Platform is only for Space combat .
After the related assignment is finished, this rewarded device will auto-equip on Device Slots on your ship and a new skill icon will appear on your ship's space skills interface.
- Ability icons Deploy (devices) will appear on your ship's abilities interface.
If it's not there it means that all the slots are filled with other devices and will go into the normal inventory.
The device has no shields and at level 51 it has a Hull of 3721 HP (At level 65 it has a hull of 18.622 HP.)(All Heavy Turrets and Torpedo Platforms have the same amount of hitpoints.).
Once you have deployed (clicked on the icon) the Device - Tricobalt Torpedo Platform in space, the Platform will stay on location and start to hit enemies if they are within 10km range.
- The Device Tricobalt Torpedo Platform shares the same cooldown with any other Satellite Turrets or Torpedo Platforms.
If you have more than 1 Deployable Device types (satellites or platforms) or items in a stack, note that you can launch only 1, so you can't use a phaser satellite with an additional plasma or tetryon satellite or a Photon Torpedo Platform.
It does not share the same cooldown with Ability: Fleet Support and both can be used in combination.
The cooldown to launch a new platform is 300 seconds (5 min.).
Even if the platform is destroyed in the first seconds, the timer will keep counting down till 0. If the device is not destroyed, it will vanish after 5 minutes. When the cooldown is over you can launch a new device.
