Scanners eventually discover the potential location of the Oruas Eye: an impenetrable sphere of considerable size and mass. Engineers are gathering data to determine any weaknesses to the structure, in an effort to gain access to the interior.



Chapter 5: Sphere of Influence

In one of the systems we routinely survey, we picked up a tiny sub-tachyonic 'echo' amongst the surrounding quantum noise. After heavy sensor sweeps of the area, we located a heavily cloaked moon-sized spherical structure of unknown composition.

Went through the briefing and checked that I have the Hull Test Sample ability active on my ship. But don't see any Use Ability button under Actions tab of a player I disabled. How can I run the hull test on the disabled ship?

I still have the Sub-Tachyonic Detector ability active. Not sure if it's causing any conflict.

Final Stats will be Size:22, Attack:280, Hull:200 I think

Am having the same problem. It might be similar to the issue on the last daily, in which acquiring the ability doesn't trigger a tab to appear for those who haven't already unlocked a pre-existing ability related to that 'section' of the game (ie planets, or in this case the BT). In any event, have sent a help ticket off to Dan.

you should see it under the player abilityes



but it proberly have the same problems as the other abilityes in the chain
= only tempeary for x hours after you read the mission briefing and sometimes disapear when you need it

He doesn't see the ability tab at all on an enemy ship. I don't think there is one on the BT unless you have Tactical Remodulation, Mind Influence, and/or NFX-2 already available (maybe others I'm forgetting).
Ships look like this, even when the ability is visible from your ship tab:

Ability button doesn't activate for me either so far.

Same here.

Sent ticket.

Sucks I have energy all built up.

There will be blood in the water, the sharks will come.

err...
- Dan

I know, same problem as all the other abilityes in the chain...
one of the planet abilityes had the same problems where players that hadnt unlocked abilityes for planets couldnt use it, as I remember it

(combined with that they are tempoary, so sometimes disapear and you cant get them back until the mission timer resets)

Yep, you're going to trip a lot of halcs.
Since everyone not setting the trap will be disabled very fast, you're gonna be left with a BT full of people online or halced.

So.... No point in getting a mod that boosts attack vs enemy players then, eh?

was only making comment about the BT tab most people have at the moment.

Was only making comment about the BT tab most people have all the time.

Appears to be working at this point, and so are a ton of people Amp's and Halc's lol

im currently up to 30 hull test myself, its not too bad out there, looks to be slightly morelively but it could just be my luck

The mission has a requirement of 50 PvP kills before you can start it.
