The Metamorphosis is the [[Society of Conscious Thought]] [[frigate]] introduced as a login award for [[Capsuleer Day XX]]. This ship has a bounty of bonuses, such as 100% bonuses to Small Energy Turret, Small Hybrid Turret, Small Projectile Turret, Light Missile, and Rocket damage. Additionally, it offers a 50% bonus to Drone hit points, a +2 bonus to ship warp core strength, a 100% reduction in Cloaking Device, Probe Launcher, Relic Analyzer, and Data Analyzer CPU requirements, and a 37.5% reduction in Core Scanner Probe scan deviation. It also has all the role bonuses of an [[Astero]], namely a 37.5% bonus to Core and Combat Scanner Probe strength, as well as a +10 bonus to Relic and Data Analyzer virus strength. Notably, the ship features a Mobile Depot Bay capable of carrying any of the three types of Mobile Depots. The Metamorphosis and the Astero are the only Tech 1 frigate hulls that can fit a Covert Ops cloak and warp while cloaked. | The Metamorphosis is the [[Society of Conscious Thought]] [[frigate]] introduced as a login award for [[Capsuleer Day XX]].

It can be easily outfitted for either exploration or PvP purposes at any time by deploying a Mobile Depot from the Mobile Depot bay. With the hard points for a turret and a launcher, drone hit point bonus, and a cloaking ability that empowers it to initiate fights at its choosing, this hull is particularly effective for engaging other explorers outside of high-security space. However, it comes at a significantly higher cost than a Tech 1 exploration frigate, and even surpasses the price of a Tech 2 [[Covert Ops]] frigate. Nevertheless, all the ship’s bonuses are role-based, and any pilot with Spaceship Command I can fly the ship, making it a suitable alternative to the Astero without the same expenses or skill requirements. | ||
Thanks to its 100% reduction in CPU requirements for Probe Launchers, the Metamorphosis has the necessary fitting capacity to serve as a cloaking, probing scout for PvP. It doesn't necessitate fitting compromises to accommodate the expanded probe launcher required for using combat probes, unlike the Astero. | Thanks to its 100% reduction in CPU requirements for Probe Launchers, the Metamorphosis has the necessary fitting capacity to serve as a cloaking, probing scout for PvP.
