In Star Trek Online, players have been allowed to choose a ship: It has turned out to be a carrier of the Jupiter class.
Most want to be captains like Picard or Kirk, others dream of a career as a cool science nerd like Spock or Data, but: Wouldn’t it also be appealing to design a spaceship as an engineer? Star Trek Online has given players the opportunity over the past weeks to design a ship. Multiple-choice elections took place repeatedly.
Now, the results are presented in Star Trek Online: It is a carrier of the Jupiter class. This is a class 6 spaceship and it will also have a fleet version. Carrier ships are behemoths in Star Trek Online from whose hangars fighters launch. The carrier ships themselves support the fighters, making them even more deadly: The Jupiter will come with the ability “As if to mock” and thus grant additional firepower to the hangar ships. This is similar to a warlock buffing its demon army in an MMORPG.
A ship of the Jupiter class can be created through the cash shop. In STO, players can exchange resources earned in-game for cash shop currency. Furthermore, three different types of “Callisto” escort ships can be acquired, which will then launch from the Jupiter class.
How exactly the Jupiter class is supposed to cause a stir in Star Trek Online, read in this dev blog. It is also available in German and describes the statistics and characteristics of the Jupiter and its fleet version.
