Star Trek Online receives new ships! A total of nine versions of the “Multi-Mission-Explorer” ship type, three for each faction, are currently in planning. The special ships are also equipped with special goodies and crew members.
In Star Trek Online, the Federation’s Starfleet often received new ships first. But the developers at Perfect World have a heart for Klingons and Romulans. Therefore, these factions also receive three new ship variants of the “Multi-Mission-Explorer” each.
Star Trek Online – What’s in the new T-6 ships
The new ships are divided into three variants each: “Engineering”, “Science”, and “Tactical”. Each ship type has a special console skill and a unique ship trait. The following list shows what the ships have:
- Engineering: These ships are well-suited as tanks, as they can absorb enemy shields and use them themselves. As a special ship trait, this version can distribute a buff to damage resistance,
- Science: These ships are good controllers, as they can execute electrical attacks that deal damage and impair the enemy’s mobility. As a trait version, this attack triggers a chain reaction among nearby enemies.
- Tactical: The combat version of the Multi-Mission-Explorer has a strong DPS skill, initially dealing smaller amounts of damage and then following up with a big hit. This hit is more powerful the more often the small attacks connect. Additionally, the attack impairs the enemy’s control. As a trait, the ship regularly launches mines that deal significant damage to shields. By the way, our own ship is immune to this.
Also cool: The new ships come with a special Lt. Commander crew slot. You can purchase the ships in the C-Store, either individually, as a faction package with the three versions of one faction, or all at once in a “Super-Bundle”.
