STO's new Tholian and mirror ships

As I mentioned yesterday, Cryptic are launching new Tholian lock boxes to go along with their Tholian filled season six launch in Star Trek Online. They have now posted details of all the new ships available in the boxes and/or for exchange:

The Tholian Orb Weaver is essentially a very large, advanced Science Vessel. Bridge Officer stations favor science, although there is a Lieutenant Commander Universal Bridge Officer station. As a Science Vessel, it is capable of Subsystem Targeting as well as Sensor Analysis. The Orb Weaver, of course, comes with a Tholian Web Generator console. This console allows you to create an energy web around your target, capturing and eventually crushing them. The Tholian Web Generator can be equipped in any console slot, but only on the Tholian Orb Weaver or the Tholian Recluse Carrier.

The Tholian Orb Weaver also comes with a Thermionic Torpedo Launcher. Thermionic Torpedoes are capable of draining the target's Weapon and Engine Subsystems with each hit, reducing its damage output and speed temporarily.

The Tholian Recluse Carrier comes standard with 2 hangar bays of Tholian Widow Fighters. Widow fighters are armed with Tetryon Beams and Quantum Torpedoes. The Widows are also designed to work with the Recluse's Tetryon Grid Console. This console creates a grid of Tetryon Energy that buffs ally energy damage and causes your Tholian Widow Fighters to reflect 2 Tetryon beam attacks at nearby enemy targets. Tholian Widow Fighters and the Tetryon Grid Console may only be equipped on the Tholian Recluse Carrier. The console may be placed in any console slot.

The Tholian Recluse Carrier comes with a Thermionic Torpedo Launcher. Thermionic Torpedoes are capable of draining the target's Weapon and Engine Subsystems with each hit, reducing its damage output and speed temporarily. The Recluse Carrier may be equipped with a Tholian Web Generator Console if you obtain one.

The Tholian Widow is small, nimble fighter. It comes with a Tetryon Beam Array and a Thermionic Torpedo Launcher. Thermionic Torpedoes are capable of draining the target's Weapon and Engine Subsystems with each hit, reducing its damage output and speed temporarily.

All equipment that comes with the Tholian Widow Fighter can only be used on other small craft.

The Mirror Universe Assault Cruiser looks more like our Prime Universe Star Cruiser, but has more of a tactical advantage in Bridge Officer Seating and Console Configuration. It is only available to Federation captains and may be obtained in the Tholian Lock Box.

The Mirror Assault Cruiser configuration includes the mirror version of the Avenger, Vanguard, and Emissary class.

The Mirror Universe Star Cruiser looks more like our Prime Universe Assault Cruiser, but has more of a science advantage in Bridge Officer Seating and Console Configuration. It is only available to Federation captains and may be obtained in the Tholian Lock Box.

The Mirror Star Cruiser configuration includes the mirror version of the Sovereign, Noble, and Majestic class.

The Mirror Vor'cha Battle Cruiser favors science Bridge Officer Seating and Console Slots more than the Prime Universe version does. It is only available to Klingon captains and may be obtained in the Tholian Lock Box.
