In Star Trek Online, players will soon be able to command other starships like a fleet admiral. The admiralty system is expected to arrive this fall.
In Star Trek Online, players have long risen to the rank of admirals but could only command one ship at a time. The rest remained in the space garage. That is not befitting.
For the season 11 of Star Trek Online New Dawn, which is set to be released later this fall, Star Trek Online has come up with something new that strongly resembles the ship missions from World of Warcraft. That’s only fair: Blizzard has essentially borrowed the followers from Star Trek Online as well.
Players will send their “replacement” ships on missions with season 11. Each ship of a new class they command will unlock a ship type that players can command as admirals. Mission durations vary between 15 minutes and 20 hours – up to 3 ships can be sent on a mission. The ships differ by stats and special abilities.
Starting at level 52, players will have access to the system. In a dev blog on the official Star Trek Online homepage, the details are discussed. The missions are supposed to follow a campaign that will gradually be expanded.
For those who can’t wait until the launch of the new season: The admiralty system will soon be tested on the Tribble test server by Cryptic.
This is the trailer for New Dawn, the next big thing in the Star Trek Online universe:
