Captains – we launched a brand new feature on PC yesterday, including new UI and the ability to donate duty officers of up to Very Rare quality. Unfortunately, due to some internal communication issues, this feature went live without any prior warning or documentation. That’s on us, but we’re putting this guide together today in the hopes of helping everyone understand what is happening. This guide will be written in the form of an FAQ, and will be updated as new information or questions become available. Thanks for your time and understanding.   What kind of duty officers can I now donate to fleet projects? You’ll be able to donate any duty officer of any quality up to Very Rare to projects at the Fleet Starbase. Other Fleet Holdings will become a part of this system in 2023. Why was this change made? We felt that fleet projects were being gated for players who had filled their duty officer roster, and couldn’t recruit common quality duty officers to donate to projects. Some players were following the system of taking a higher quality bridge officer to the Academies and breaking it down into lower quality officers, but this process was lengthy and not intuitive. By allowing you to donate those higher officers directly, and get more progress for doing so, the hope was that you would be able to progress your fleet projects more smoothly. In addition, we do hope that removing this gating allows folks to donate more dilithium to projects, and therefore helps the exchange at least a little. Time will tell if that actually has an effect. How do I protect myself from accidentally donating duty officers I’d like to keep? You can right click on any duty officer in your roster, or in the donation window itself, and choose “Change protected status to on.” This will remove them from the donation window and prevent you from donating them. However, some players have discovered an issue where this protection does not work on every officer, all the time. We’re getting a fix put in ASAP, but in the meantime, please be very careful and cognizant of what officers you are putting up for donation. If a Duty Officer is Bound to me or my account, are they protected automatically? No. Binding status does not protect a duty officer from being donated. If you’d like to protect that officer from donation, make sure to set them to protected. What are the different rarities of Duty Officer worth to a project? The various Duty Officers are worth a number of “points” depending on their rarity. Previously, all Common Duty Officers would provide one progress to a project, or one “point.” The way it works for other Duty Officers is as follows: Common (white): 1 point, 300 fleet credits Uncommon (green): 3 points, 900 fleet credits Rare (blue): 9 points, 2,700 fleet credits Very rare (purple): 27 points, 8,100 fleet credits   What if I donate too many points worth of duty officers, accidentally? The “points” you’ve contributed over the level needed to fill a project will go into a Duty Officer Coffer, which is viewable from the Fleet Window. In 2023, you will be able to use those points to fill other projects. This sounds like sort of…half a system, with most of the major features coming in 2023. Why is that? A technical issue with how we produce updates for our game forced our hand. We had to put some of the feature out, so we released the parts that were working correctly. Originally, this entire feature was slated to launch in 2023. Can I donate dilithium instead of duty officers? Yes! You can donate dilithium at a rate of 300 dilithium to one duty officer “point.” What issues are you currently aware of? Besides the issue mentioned above with some duty officers not having protection when they should, it also seems that you cannot donate only dilithium at this time. You have to donate a duty officer as well as the dilithium to make it work. We’re getting a fix in ASAP. The “quality” filter on the donation screen is also currently nonfunctional. When it works, you’ll be able to filter the list to just the quality of duty officer you’d like to donate, which is an additional layer of protection for those rarer duty officers you want to protect. We’ll have that fix in ASAP as well. Sounds like that dilithium issue might be affecting your stated goal of having this feature help the exchange. Sure is! When can we expect fixes to some of the issues we’re experiencing with this new feature? Some of those fixes will likely be added in this week without any downtime necessary. The rest we are aiming to have fixed in a patch next week. How did a change this big go out without any communication to the players? Since Cryptic went full remote two years ago, almost every aspect of our business has transitioned smoothly. However, there have been occasional communication breakdowns. In this case, our Community Manager (me) was aware the change was coming, but not that it was coming this week. The folks working on the feature delivered it when they were supposed to, but their patch notes never made it in front of the person who compiles those notes. A combination of minor errors that lead to a bigger one. We’re really grateful for your patience, Captains, and thanks for understanding. Nonetheless, we think this will be a great improvement to quality of life, and we hope you can build more fleet projects, faster than ever before. We’ll see you out in the final frontier.     .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, agree sentients whom Q has graced with wonder and terror in equal portions. That does, for some, make it the most terrible time of the year too, but that’s a small price to pay to bask in the glory that is Q. Behold, mortal! The 2022 edition of Q’s Winter Wonderland! This year’s Grand Prize for participating in the Event will be the shrieking screaming inimical Fek’Ihri Byr’Jai! Go forth, dispense joy unto yourselves and terror unto your foes. Surely your species are responsible enough that this will increase net joy and not net terror… surely.    Q’s dark designs are offering all captains the opportunity to earn their way to flying their very own Fek'Ihri Byr'Jai Interceptor [T6]. The dread claw of the Fek’Ihri torments psyche as well as physiology, and this ship places both at your command. Devastate your foes’ will to fight, confront them with the souls of the damned and delight in their disarray. This starship can be yours simply for participating in the seasonal celebration we have created for your enjoyment.   Earning the ship will require completing various activities available on the Q’s Winter Wonderland map each day, and gathering enough Daily Progress to fulfill the Winter Event’s overall quota. Players may participate in any of the available Winter activities to earn their Daily Progress once per day, per account.   Once you have earned sufficient Daily Progress, you may claim this Starship for your entire account. Just open the Event Reclaim Store to claim an Fek'Ihri Byr'Jai Interceptor [T6] for each captain on your account. Fek'Ihri Byr'Jai Interceptor (T6) As the most prevalent ship within the strange ranks of the Fek'Ihri navy, the Byr'Jai is frequently seen at the forefront of their invasions, where ever they take place. They serve as the heralds and fighter screens for the larger vessels, and are able to open portals to their hellish dimension to usher the Lost Souls of Gre'thor into battle. This ship comes with a Lt. Commander Universal / Temporal Operative Bridge Officer Seat and a Lieutenant Tactical / Intel Bridge Officer Seat. Ship Details:     Tier: 6     Faction: Any     Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial     Hull Modifier: 0.9     Shield Modifier: 1.0     Fore Weapons: 5     Aft Weapons: 2     Device Slots: 2     Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Lieutenant Tactical / Intel, 1x Commander Tactical, 1x Ensign Engineering, 1x Lt Commander Science, 1x Lt Commander Universal / Temp Op     Consoles: 4 Tactical, 2 Engineering, 5 Science (scales with level)     Base Turn Rate: 20     Impulse Modifier: 0.22     Inertia: 80     +10 Weapon Power, +10 Auxiliary Power     Console - Universal - Portal of the Damned     Experimental Weapon Slot equipped with Ravager Shriek     Starship Mastery Package (Escort) Precise Weapon Systems (+Accuracy) Tactical Maneuvers (+Defense) Enhanced Weapon Systems (+All Damage) Devastating Weaponry (+Critical Chance) Tear Open the Gates (Starship Trait)   Admiralty Stats     Eng: 20     Sci: 53     Tac: 55     Special: +8 SCI per EngShip or TacShip   Console – Universal – Portal of the Damned Strange technology, capable of tearing open dimensional gates that allow the fiery energies of the Fek'Ihri realms to spill into local space. These openings may also be traversed by entities resembling the Lost Souls of Gre'thor, straight from Klingon folklore. This console also provides a passive boost to Starship Exotic Particle Generators skill, as well as Armor Penetration with Weapons vs. Foes affected by a Damage-over-Time effect. This Console Mod can be equipped on any starship, and can be fit in any console slot. You may only equip one of these mods on any single ship.   Starship Trait – Tear Open the Gates  While this trait is slotted, all of the Anomalies created by your Bridge Officer Anomaly Abilities will periodically allow Lost Souls to pass through ruptured space, allowing these vicious entities to tear into nearby enemy starships. They will randomly target nearby enemies and attack them with their spectral claws, dealing Physical Damage to any starship they choose to attack. You may have a maximum of 12 Lost Souls active at any point in time, regardless of the number of Anomalies you have active.   Experimental Weapon – Ravager Shriek  A projector built to send out the unique energies of the Fek'Ihri at foes in a targeted area, causing their ships to experience a burst of intense, hull-melting heat. It is unknown for certain if the heat experienced is entirely real, or partially some form of exotic reality-bending energies. Impact the foe with an explosive fiery charge, which can catch secondary targets in the blast zone. Each affected foe will take an immediate amount of Fire Damage, then be afflicted with additional Fire Damage-over-time. This weaponry also has a small chance of confusing affected foes.   Jonathan Herlache  Senior Designer Star Trek Online .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

  The seasonal favorite from years past is returning once more to Star Trek Online! Q proudly invites personnel of all ranks, allegiances, species, cosmological variances, and molecular stabilities (or lack thereof) to ring in the holiday season, and visit his Winter Wonderland for fun, frivolity, and prizes! Participate in your choice of Winter Wonderland Activities to work your way toward obtaining the fabulous new Tier 6 Starship, the Fek'ihri Byr'Jai Interceptor! This ship was revealed earlier this year in a Ten Forward Weekly stream, where your suggestions were taken into account to build its stats! Like last year, this year’s festivities will be integrated into our recently released Event Interface, as part of your Mission Journal. This means that, just like last year: Daily Progress toward earning your new starship can be obtained by participating in any of the following activities: Fastest Game on Ice Klingon Ice Fishing Tides of Ice The Fast and the Flurrious Cones of Conduct The Kramp’Ihri   The first completion of any of the above activities will fulfill your Daily Requirement for your entire account, allowing you to pick and choose how you earn your way to a new starship. Play whichever activity you enjoy most, or change it up each day for greater variety! The Event System will also offer instant and immediate access to visit the Winter Wonderland from most non-combat maps in the game, simply by pressing the “Transwarp” button on the Event interface. You don’t even have to talk to Q to get there – he’s allowed us to bring the Wonderland to YOU. Each of the above activities, as well as others you can participate in during the Winter Event, will still reward you with the various Holiday Ornaments which can be used in different denominations to purchase yourself a variety of rewards from years past, as well as a number of new additions that will arrive with the re-launch of the Event this year! New Breen Space Set When you collect winter ornaments this year, they can used to unlock a brand new Breen Space Set that you can take with you outside of the Winter Event. There are three Cryonic items in this set: an Omni-Directional Cryonic Beam Array, a Cryonic Torpedo Launcher and Universal Console: The Breen Cryonic Module. Equipping two or all three frosty items unlocks special set bonuses. The set bonuses have powers that overcharge Cold-based weapons and knocks certain subsystems offline. The Three-Set bonus power called Cryonic Blackout is an AOE centered on your Starship that inflicts cold damage and disables your Foe a period of time. Breen Omni-Directional Cold Beam Array: Delivers a 360 spread of Cold Damage Beam 2.5% chance to causes both Shields and Engines to go offline for a period of time Breen Cold Torpedo Weapon: This is a supercooled torpedo that delivers Cold Damage Provides a 20% chance both Shields and Engines go offline for a period of time Console - Universal - Breen Cryonic Module Passively gives a Drain Expertise bonus Passively gives an Axillary Power Setting bonus Causes a 2Km AOE Cold Damage Explosion when a Foe’s subsystem is offline   2-Set Slotted Bonus: 10% increased Cold Damage 2.5% Chance to Hold nearby foes for a period of time when Cold Damage is delivered 3-Set Slotted Bonus: 18% increased Cold Damage 5% Chance to Hold nearby foes for a period of time when Cold Damage is delivered Can activate "Cryonic Blackout", which causes a 4Km AOE centered on the Player’s Starship to deliver Cold Damage and Disabling the Foe for a period of time New Winter Event Weapon: The Red Riker Unlock a classic-styled BB-rifle to use in the Winter Event: The Red Riker! This beautiful, wood-polished rifle has Riker’s insignia on it. If you think about shooting your eye out, think again—try out the secondary attack and see what happens! It is quite a nice weapon to control any snowy situation, since the rifle’s BBs can disable your snowy enemies for different times depending on which firing mode you use. Should be helpful when there's Assimilated Snowmen coming down all four lanes! We are quite certain this will be your Number One gun.   New Winter Event Hats Looking for additional winterization?

The form evolves as the mission grows, but the core cruiser design of Starfleet has stood the test of time, alternate time, backwards time, anomalous time, and everything in between. Get good systems and a great crew, protect them as much as science allows, and allow them the flexibility to see the mission completed through all the bizarre exigencies they don’t teach in textbooks. The Excelsior II is maneuverable and formidable, able to place itself where it needs to be without fear and render aid or unleash hell as the captain decides.     Continue reading further on for the full details on this new starship offering, coming to the Infinity Lock Box on PC on December 6th! Excelsior II Intel Heavy Cruiser [T6] Created by the Federation in response to a changing galaxy, the Excelsior II employs a number of technologies and strategies normally left to the shadows of the intelligence services. While not itself a spy vessel in the strictest sense, the fusion of information technology and combat readiness with a well-rounded and durable hull, combined with a bit of extra engine power to keep the platform flexible, has culminated in a formidable vessel. The Excelsior II is equipped with the ability to Mask Warp Signatures and employ Active Sensor Arrays.  The former allows the starship to cloak while not in combat, and the latter allows intel craft to gather information about their target to expose a vulnerability.   The Excelsior II comes equipped with Experimental Power Redirection.  This unproven technology allows a combination of Beam Overload and Beam Fire At Will maneuvers to be performed at once by dumping tremendous amounts of power through the weapons arrays, as well as a few auxiliary Phaser arrays configured directly to the console itself. Power to non-Weapon subsystems provides an additional bonus to Energy Weapon Damage during this period. As Foes fall, the energy released by their power sources accumulates in the exposed Phaser banks, increasing the rate at which these additional attacks occur. The result is a tremendous volley of energy weapons fire that cannot be sustained for long, but which Foes are unlikely to endure for long either.    This ship comes with a Commander Engineering / Intel Specialist Bridge Officer seat and a Lieutenant Commander Science / Miracle Worker Specialist Bridge Officer seat.   Ship Details:       Tier: 6     Faction: Federation or Federation-Aligned     Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial     Hull Modifier: 1.4     Shield Modifier: 1.0     Fore Weapons: 4     Aft Weapons: 4     Device Slots: 4     Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Lt Commander Tactical, 1x Commander Engineering / Intel, 1x Lt Commander Science / Miracle Worker, 1x Lt Commander Universal     Consoles: 4 Tactical, 4 Engineering, 3 Science (scales with level)     Base Turn Rate: 9     Impulse Modifier: 0.16     Inertia: 40     Comes with Cloak     +10 Weapon Power, +10 Engine Power     Console - Universal – Experimental Power Redirection Active Sensor Arrays Gather Intelligence Expose Vulnerability: Defenses Expose Vulnerability: Weapon Systems Expose Vulnerability: Critical Systems Starship Mastery Package (Heavy Cruiser) Absorptive Hull Plating Rapid Repairs Enhanced Hull Plating Armored Hull Calculated Broadside (Starship Trait)  Admiralty Ship Stats:       Eng:  69     Sci:  20     Tac:  37     Special: -25% maintenance per engship      Console – Universal – Experimental Power Redirection   Activating this Console grants the ship an unpredictable mix of Fire At Will III and Beam Overload III, a large bonus to Energy Weapon damage based on the sum of Shield, Engine, and Aux power, and a suite of overloaded Phaser attacks which strike out at all nearby Foes. As Foes fall, the energy released by their power sources accumulates in the exposed Phaser banks, increasing the rate at which these additional attacks occur.   This experimental system pushes tremendous amounts of power through the ship's beam arrays to create a truly spectacular cacophony of weapons fire. Auxiliary Phaser Array banks channel the excess power to avoid overheating issues, though they are only rated for burst use and cannot be employed like traditional Phaser Arrays. The power drain involved is immense, and while R&D maintains hope that it may be stabilized for more consistent use, the system has found a niche on the battlefield as a contingency weapon.   The console also applies bonuses to Energy Weapon Damage and Starship Weapon Amplification.    This console can be equipped in any starship, in any console slot. You may only equip one of these consoles on any single ship.   Tooltip:     To self, for a moderate duration: +X% Energy Weapon Damage (scales with Engine, Shield, and Aux subsystem Power)  Swaps randomly between Beam Fire At Will III and Beam Overload III  Each sec applies Auxilliary Phaser Beam Array – Overload At Will III to random target x4, dealing Phaser Damage to each; kills increase the number up to x14    Starship Trait – Calculated Broadside   While this trait is slotted, activating a Beam Fire At Will or an Intel Bridge Officer Ability improves both Beam Damage and all Damage Resistance Rating in the side arcs. If Threatening Stance is activated, the Damage Resistance bonus is doubled; if not, aggro generated by attacks is massively reduced.   Tooltip:   Upon activating a Fire At Will or Intelligence Bridge Officer Ability, for a moderate duration with a small recharge:  +X% Beam Weapon Damage Y% Damage Resistance Rating along the side arcs, doubled if in Threatening Stance If not in Threatening Stance, -Z% Threat Generation        Jonathan Herlache  Systems Designer Star Trek Online .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

Still striving to get the greatest performance out of your equipment? This weekend will be the perfect time to apply Tech Upgrades to your gear, as we’re doubling the amount of Technology Points earned from each one applied! From December 1st at 10AM PDT (19:00 CEST) to December 5th at 10AM PDT (19:00 CEST), every Tech Upgrade used will apply twice as many Technology Points toward your next Upgrade! This in turn reduces the amount of Dilithium that must be spent to reach each Upgrade threshold, allowing Captains additional chances to attain both Mark and Rarity increases on their favored load outs.   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

Friend. Yes, you. Yes, you, specifically. Come over here.  I see you. Your friends over there are eyeing the large ships, the ones that hold thousands of little fighters, or command entire fleets. But I see those wings on your lapel. You're looking for something a little more...agile, yes? Step into my office. What if I told you I've got a little private stash of some ships with a little more...zip? Now, of course, these are only for my most discerning customers. But I liked you instantly upon seeing you. And I think you'll know what to do with a ship like this Heavy Raider. The most famous of her class, La Sirena, was instrumental in saving the galaxy several times. Or perhaps you're looking for something a little more...frowned upon by the federation? What about a ship designed to be staffed by synthetic lifeforms? Or a bio-engineered Warship from an alternate dimension? How about this beauty - she's from the future. Temporal Investigations would flip their lid if they knew I had this. But you know how to stay off their radar, don't you? Right this way... Mudd is opening the doors on a new Choice Pack on November 22nd, this one full of choices from each major faction!! Purchase the Mudd's Fighter Pilot Choice Pack for 29500 Zen, and choose any three of the above options! But that's not all - this pack will be 50% off from 11/22 @ 8am PT (17:00 CET) – 12/6 @ 10am PT (19:00 CET). Choose from the following options: T6 Deimos Pilot Destroyer T6 La Sirena Heavy Raider T6 Kwejian Pilot Frigate T6 Undine Cheirax Bio-Warship [50x] Master Keys [16x] Elite Bridge Officer Upgrade Tokens [1x] Epic Prize Token - Phoenix Prize Pack [10x] Ultimate Tech Upgrades   SPECIAL BONUS – Buying any version of this pack will unlock Cross-Faction Flying for your entire account! Any character on your account will be able to fly any of these ships of their choice. We're adding a special version of the pack! The Mudd's MEGA Fighter PIlot Bundle is a one stop purchase to obtain all eight items in the pack at once! The pack contains all eight items, no choices needed. It will also launch on 11/22, for 60000 Zen, but will be 50% off until 12/6 at 10am PT (19:00 CET). Here's how it works: The MEGA Fighter PIlot Bundle will appear in Mudd's Market at the same time as the Fighter PIlot Choice Pack This is a once per account purchase. When purchased, it will disappear from the store. If you'd like, you can still purchase the Fighter PIlot Pack for more of the non-ship items. Purchasing the MEGA Fighter PIlot Bundle will drop an item in your inventory, that you can unpack to receive the items. If you wish to buy both the MEGA Fighter PIlot Bundle and the Fighter PIlot Choice Pack, you must purchase the bundle first. Any purchase of the Choice Pack will cause the Bundle to disappear from the store. Never seen one of these packs before? Seen them all but still unsure how they work? Here's an FAQ just for you: Each time I buy this pack, I get to choose any three items? Yes! Even if you only purchase it once, the Mudd's Fighter Pilot Choice Pack allows you to choose any three of the above ships, upgrades and more. You can choose multiples of the same item, as long as its not a ship. Are the ships bound to the character that buys them? Nope! The ships are account unlocks, like everything in the Zen Store. Once you purchase the bundle and choose any of the ships, you unlock that ship for all your characters, immediately, and all future characters. Can I claim a second ship of the same type? Also no. Because the ships are unlocked for your entire account, you only need to choose each ship once. Therefore, should you purchase a bundle and choose the Kweijan Frigate and two non-ship items, if you purchase a second bundle, you won’t be able to choose the Jem Hadar Recon Ship again. But I can choose the non-ship items again? You sure can. You can choose anything that's not a ship up to three times each, per purchase of the bundle. Even within the same purchase? That’s right. If you only want Upgrades, you can purchase this bundle once, choose the Upgrades three times, and get 30 Upgrades. It’s up to you! Do I have to purchase more than one bundle to get all the items? Yes, unless you buy the MEGA Bundle. Do I have to purchase more than one bundle? No! If you just want three of the ships, or any other combination, just purchase it once, claim the three items you want, and never think of it again. Do I have to purchase this bundle? That’s really up to you, friend. Which of these ships would win in a race? I feel like the Undine would cheat. By the way, everything in Mudd's Market that isn't a Bundle is on sale for 75% off from November 22nd at 8am PT (17:00 CET) to November 28th at 10am (19:00 CET)! Grab more for your zen!   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

General: Captains who applied an Elite Bridge Officer Token can now apply boxed traits to their Bridge Officers.  Updated Unlock Requirements for Jem'hadar Gunboats Hangar pets:   Captains now only need 1 of the 3 types of Jem'hadar ships listed: Legendary Jem'Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship, 2-hangar Jem'hadar carrier, or the Jem'Hadar Vanguard Dreadnought Cruiser.  The Excalibur-class variant for the Cruiser family has been totally remastered!    Its model has been rebuilt from the ground up to our new visual standard.    Additionally, we have made the Sovereign Refit material available for free on any ship that had access to it if you had purchased the legendary bundle.    To see the new Excalibur, ready your Cruiser, visit the ship customization interface, and apply the Excalibur template!  The Vesper class Cruiser has been totally remastered.   Visit the ship tailor and apply the Vesper preset.  General: Resolved an issue that was preventing full completion of Event Campaign IV progress after purchasing the buyout.   This will retroactively resolve for Captains who had previously purchased the buyout.   Resolved an issue that was preventing the Universal Kit Module – V’ger Probes from being reclaimable. 

The first iteration of this design was created by the Romulan Star Empire to serve as the flagship of the Praetor at the time. Although the Empire eventually gave way to the Republic following the devastation caused by the Hobus Supernova, effective and stylish designs such as this one are not easily abandoned. In the modern era, it has been refitted with the latest in powerful weapon arrays and subsystems to complement its excellent communication and coordination systems. This brand new Romulan Starship from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is live on PC right now, and will be coming a little bit later on Xbox and Playstation. It’ll be available as part of an update to the Infinity Lock Box!   Continue reading further on for the full details on this new starship offering!   Praetor Command Warbird Battlecruiser [T6] The Praetor is a devastating battlefield asset, a technology demonstrator, and a highly protected mobile command post all in one. Never intended for mass production, this unique class of ship is specialized in one respect: giving as much power as possible to the fleet commander, as if the ancient concept of a royal guard was forged into a single massive device. Praetors coordinate the fleet, direct local intelligence efforts, and defeat all threats to Romulan authority—on the battlefield or off it.    And then came Hobus. And the collapse, the diaspora, the slow-motion civil war. The cagey and autocratic design philosophy that produced the Praetor has found a lucky niche in this new galaxy. Even a single ship of this class can turn a disparate subsector of hidden Romulan refugees into a burgeoning hub of the Republic, fortified and self-sufficient.    This ship comes with a Commander Engineering / Command Specialist Bridge Officer seat and a Lieutenant Universal / Miracle Worker Specialist Bridge Officer seat.   Ship Details:     Tier: 6     Faction: Any     Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial     Hull Modifier: 1.425     Shield Modifier: 1.25     Fore Weapons: 5     Aft Weapons: 3     Device Slots: 4     Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Lt Commander Tactical, 1x Commander Engineering / Command, 1x Ensign Science, 1x Lt Commander Universal, 1x Lt Universal / Miracle Worker     Consoles: 4 Tactical, 4 Engineering, 3 Science (scales with level)     Base Turn Rate: 7     Impulse Modifier: 0.15     Inertia: 40     +10 Weapon Power, +10 Engine Power     Console - Universal - Spinal Mount Plasma Torpedo Can Equip Dual Cannons Romulan Battle Cloak "Inspiration" Ship Mechanic Singularity Abilities     40 Base Power for All Subsystems     Plasma Shockwave     Quantum Absorption     Warp Shadows     Singularity Jump     Singularity Overcharg Starship Mastery Package (Battlecruiser)     Absorptive Plating (+Physical and Kinetic Damage Resistance)     Enhanced Weapon Banks (+Critical Severity)     Enhanced Plating (+Energy Damage Resistance)     Armored Hull (+Maximum HP) Admiralty Ship Stats:       Eng:  57     Sci:  44     Tac:  25     Special: +6 TAC per AnyShip     Console – Universal – Spinal Mount Plasma Torpedo Activating this Console charges and fires a truly formidable Plasma Torpedo, which homes in on the target and detonates in a massive explosion. It deals tremendous area Kinetic damage and renders the primary target's Hull brittle, reducing its Damage Resistance Rating considerably. The longer the weapon was allowed to charge, the more devastating the impact.  Mastery is achieved before the first strike. This is true as much for raptors seeking prey as it is Empires seeking growth. Through evolution, the universe cries out in curiosity and will to power. Soar above, observe, and achieve mastery. The Federation's search for truth is simply a less honest, less pure search for mastery. The Klingons' search for victory is simply less intelligent, less pure search for mastery. The raptor and the Romulan Star Empire rise because we understand these things are the same.  Cloak, observe, prepare. When the time to strike comes, it is mere formality.   This console also provides a passive boost to Kinetic and Plasma damage as well as Hull Capacity. This console may be equipped on any ship in any console slot.   This console mod may be used on any starship, in any console slot. Only one of these consoles may be equipped on a ship at a time.   Starship Trait – Test Them While this trait is slotted, the Damage buff granted by decloaking causes your damage to Mark Foes. Defeating a Marked Foe enables They Are Weak I, II, III, or IV depending on Foe size. They Are Weak is a buff that improves self and allied ships’ Damage and Hull Capacity and lasts until mapmove. Only the largest applies.     Special Costume - Praetor Beta  Based on original concepts for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the Praetor Beta costume shows what this ship may have looked like before it received some changes for its final onscreen version. The costume is unlocked with the Praetor Command Warbird Battlecruiser for free.   Jonathan Herlache  Systems Designer Star Trek Online

Hunger is universal, and feasts are times of joy. Sadly, some species express the drive in unsociable ways. While many gather with loved ones and share communal meals, in the cold reaches of space another kind of hunger stirs, one more akin to locust swarm behavior than family bonding. Either way, the delicious feast begins for PC Captains on November 15th and lasts until December 6th! A new event is here, featuring two crunchy TFOs, “Bug Hunt” (Ground) and “Swarm” (Space). Play each day to earn your way to this Event's Grand Prize, the Universal Kit Module - V'ger Probes, which summons V'ger Probes that seek out Foes and severely damage any that stray too close! Keep reading for details on this item, how you can participate in the Event, and what additional prizes may be earned. Universal Kit Module - V'ger Probes When this ability is activated, V'ger Probes are summoned and move toward foes, causing severe damage in close proximity. The three probes deal significant Plasma damage over time and will continue to seek new Foes even if the original targets are defeated. Upon claiming this Grand Prize (whether earned or purchased), your account will immediately become eligible for Bonus Progress. The first Bonus Progress rewarded will be accompanied by a reward of 8,000 Dilithium Ore. Earning Bonus Progress each day thereafter will increase this reward by an additional 1,000, and we have increased the cap on how high this value may scale to a value that is unreachable during this Event (thus effectively unlimited!). This Featured Event is the fifth and finl of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the fourth installment of our multi-event system known as an Event Campaign. Captains will also have the option to purchase their remaining progress in the event with Zen. The price for this buyout will be pro-rated, based on the amount of progress a Captain has completed.   Jonathan Herlache Systems Designer Star Trek Online

General:   Valdres Command Strike Wing Escort [T6] Updates:  The Valdres Command Strike Wing Escort [T6] will now maneuver correctly in sector space.  Nacelle glows have been adjusted on the Valdres Command Strike Wing Escort [T6] nacelles so they work properly with certain vanity shields.  The Valkyrie Fighter Squadron Hangar Pets have been reduced in scale to be the proper size.  Added fleet ships to unlock requirements for Valkyrie Fighter Squadrons and Support Runabout Frigates.  Updated Unlock Requirements for Jem'hadar Gunboats Hangar pets:  Captains now only need 1 of the 3 types of Jem'hadar ships listed: Legendary Jem'Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship, 2-hangar Jem'hadar carrier, or the Jem'Hadar Vanguard Dreadnought Cruiser.  Resolved an issue where the Ambush cloak damage buff wasn't properly applying stacking duration increases from the Space Trait: Infiltrator. 

Attention! We’ve doubled our efforts to give Captains the necessary experience to deal with threats to the Galaxy! From Thursday, November 3rd at 8AM PT (17:00 CET), to Thursday, November 17th at 10AM PT (19:00 CET), players will be able to enjoy twice the experience!

The entire Galaxy is going to Red Alert! From November 3rd at 8am PT (17:00 CEST) – November 17th at 10am PT (19:00 CEST) all of our Red Alert events will be returning at once, as the Final Frontier is caught in a massive invasion on all sides. During this event, you’ll be able to play the following content: Borg Red Alert Elachi Red Alert Tholian Red Alert Tzenkethi Red Alert* Nakuhl Red Alert   *Please note: As the only Red Alert with a fail condition, the Tzenkethi Red Alert will not grant daily bonus progress if you fail the TFO. The fail condition will likely be removed in future runs of this event. In addition to their usual rewards, these Task Force Operations will also grant daily bonus progress. You’ll receive one Daily Progress each day for completing one Red Alert – doesn’t matter which one – on any character on your account. After you receive ten daily progress, you’ll be rewarded with a package containing the following, once per account: An Ultimate Tech Upgrade A Specialization Point An Experimental Ship Upgrade Token   You can also purchase this Grand Prize on the events page, if you’d prefer. The price will be prorated as you earn Daily Progress, becoming cheaper the more you play. If you earn, or purchase, the event’s Grand Prize, you can still complete Red Alerts to earn Bonus Progress. Completing a Red Alert TFO each day will grant a bonus amount of Dilithium Ore, beginning at 8,000 and increasing by 1,000 for each completion thereafter.

We’re pleased to announce - krrshhhh - Rerouting. Sir, we've tapped into the main feed. You're on with them now. Excellent, thank you ensign. Captains, I was informed of this 48 hour Key Sale that was about to be announced. Because of the time of year, and a certain whimsy I have about a particular set of numbers, I have hacked the Key Sale, and put my own, shall we say, spin on it. After all, for the greater good of the Federation, the ends always justify the means. For the next 24 hours, you will find Keys and the Keyring Bundle on sale in all platforms for 31% off. To be clear, that means this sale will run from October 29th at 10am PT to October 30th at 10am PT, by your local reckoning. Please keep in mind that in return, I may call in a favor at a time and place of my choosing. Enjoy the holiday - dressing up in disguise is one of my favorite activities. Signing off, now.

General:  Updated “The Witches Brew” patrol so that it gives rewards at the correct point.  Updated the visuals of the Peregrine Fighters. 

Starfleet’s range of purpose-built starships has always been rather broad. Perhaps nowhere is that truer than when examining their range of modular ships, built primarily for the purpose of hauling detachable mission pods to the frontiers of the Federation, or wherever else they may be needed. The two starships included in this new Bundle represent modernized designs of a few of the most capable workhorses of this family of ships, updated for the dangerous frontiers of the early-25th century. Starting on October 27th, 2022 on PC (and appearing on Console at a later date), players will have the option of purchasing the Federation Command Carrier Bundle which includes two new Federation starships and additional promotional items. Seneca Command Carrier [T6] Unlocks the new Support Runabout Hangar Pets! Valdres Command Strike Wing Escort [T6] Unlocks the new Valkyrie Fighter Squadron Hangar Pets! 4 Starship Slots 4 Experimental Starship Upgrade Tokens 2 Fleet Ship Modules   This value-packed bundle will be on sale for 5,250 Zen (25% OFF!) for the first two weeks it is available, after which it will remain available indefinitely at the full price of 7,000 Zen. Each of these starships will also be available individually at the standard T6 starship price of 3,000 Zen. However, simultaneous with the release of this Bundle, there will be a Zen Store Starship Sale running, offering 20% OFF on all Starship purchases, which will include these two brand new vessels! In addition to their Z-Store versions, each of the vessels will have Fleet variants introduced at the same time, which may be unlocked by advancing your Fleet Shipyard to Tier 3. Purchasing either of the individual ships, or obtaining them as part of the Bundle, will result in a discount on their Fleet Variants, reducing the number of Fleet Ship Modules required to purchase them from 5 down to 1.   Seneca Command Carrier [T6] The original Hiawatha-type starship served Starfleet in the mid-23rd century as logistical and medical operational support. Built around a spine that could accommodate a large selection of modular mission pods, many of these ships saw service as freighters, fleet tenders, colony transports, and medical frigates. The pods were also large enough to serve as shuttle bays, allowing them to serve as small craft carriers, able to assist in rapid evacuations or disaster relief. In the 25th century, Starfleet has revived the Hiawatha layout in the new Seneca-class starship. The Seneca continues the tradition of its predecessor as a carrier and logistical support craft. This ship comes with a Commander Science / Command Specialist Bridge Officer Seat and a Lieutenant Universal / Miracle Worker Specialist Bridge Officer seat. Ship Details: Tier: 6 Faction: Federation or Federation-Aligned Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial Hull Modifier: 1.25 Shield Modifier: 1.35 Fore Weapons: 3 Aft Weapons: 3 Device Slots: 4 Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Lt Commander Tactical, 1x Lt Commander Engineering, 1x Ensign Science, 1x Commander Science / Command, 1x Lieutenant Universal / Miracle Worker Consoles: 3 Tactical, 3 Engineering, 4 Science (scales with level) Base Turn Rate: 6.5 Impulse Modifier: 0.15 Inertia: 25 +10 Shield Power, +10 Auxiliary Power Console - Universal - Non-Baryonic Buffer Field Can Equip Dual Cannons Subsystem Targeting Hangar Bays: 2 Hangar Bays equipped with Danube Runabouts "Inspiration" Ship Mechanic Starship Mastery Package (Science Carrier) Quick Deployment (-Hangar Pet Recharge Time) Armored Hull (+Max Hull HP) Reactive Shield Technology (+Shield Regen/Hardness) Advanced Shield Systems (+Max Shield HP) Supplementary Coordination Network (Starship Trait)   Admiralty Stats: Eng: 37 Sci: 44 Tac: 27 Special: -25% Maintenance per SciShip   Console – Universal – Non-Baryonic Buffer Field By filling local space with non-baryonic particles, you and nearby fleetmates are able to harmonize your shields in such a way to create a temporal morass around your starship, through which certain high-energy weaponry is slowed down. The result is a conversion of incoming damage from immediate hits, into damage that is applied over time. This console is configured to allow yourself and up to 10 nearby allies to benefit from this effect for a lengthy duration. This console also provides a passive boost to Auxiliary Subsystem Power and Damage Resistance Rating vs. Hazard and Damage-Over-Time effects. This console may be equipped on any console slot, on any starship. You may only have one of this console equipped at a time. To Self and up to 10 Allies within 5km: All Incoming Damage above 10% of Max Health is converted to a lesser amount of Radiation Damage-Over-Time (10% applied each sec for 5 sec) (Incoming Damage is measured Pre-Resist, Radiation Damage subject to Shields and Resistances but not Immunities) The conversion is calculated from the incoming damage's pre-resist value, but the resulting Radiation Damage-over-Time is subject to resistances. The 10 affected targets will attempt to prioritize players but may also affect pets and summons. This console cannot be activated if you already under the effects of this console from another player and will not affect targets that are already benefiting from these effects. It will immediately short-out and stop delaying damage for any ally that reaches 20 stacks of delayed damage.   Starship Trait - Supplementary Coordination Network Launching Hangar Pets will reduce the Cooldowns on your Command Bridge Officer Abilities and Captain Abilities by a small amount per activation. This effect triggers even if all Hangars are already deployed, but only while in Combat. When you launch Hangar Pets:  5% Recharge Reduction for Captain Abilities and Command Specialist Bridge Officer Abilities   Hangar Pets – Support Runabouts These are very straightforward pets, intended to be a variant of the existing Runabout hangar pets that sacrifice their Tractor Beam in favor of a support/healing ability. These pets can be used on any ship with a hangar bay. They are unlocked by owning the Seneca or Fleet Hiawatha. Weapons: Fore: 360-degree Phaser Beam Array Fore & Aft: Micro Quantum Torpedoes Abilities: Nanite Repair Payload (Rank I, II, or III depending on Rarity)     Fleet Hiawatha Command Carrier [T6] The fleet version of the Seneca Command Carrier has been updated with the latest technology from your fleet's shipyard. It has slightly improved stats over its counterpart but does not come with a starship trait or special equipment. This ship comes with a Commander Science / Command Specialist Bridge Officer Seat and a Lieutenant Universal / Miracle Worker Specialist Bridge Officer Seat. Ship Details: Tier: 6 Faction: Federation or Federation-Aligned Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial Availability: Tier 3 Fleet Shipyard Hull Modifier: 1.375 Shield Modifier: 1.485 Fore Weapons: 3 Aft Weapons: 3 Device Slots: 4 Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Lt Commander Tactical, 1x Lt Commander Engineering, 1x Ensign Science, 1x Commander Science / Command, 1x Lieutenant Universal / Miracle Worker Consoles: 3 Tactical, 4 Engineering, 4 Science (scales with level) Base Turn Rate: 6.5 Impulse Modifier: 0.15 Inertia: 25 +10 Shield Power, +10 Auxiliary Power Hangar Bays: 2 Hangar Bays equipped with Danube Runabouts "Inspiration" Ship Mechanic Starship Mastery Package (Science Carrier) Quick Deployment (-Hangar Pet Recharge Time) Armored Hull (+Max Hull HP) Reactive Shield Technology (+Shield Regen/Hardness) Advanced Shield Systems (+Max Shield HP) Admiralty Stats Eng: 40 Sci: 47 Tac: 29 Special: +25 ENG when Alone     Valdres Command Strike Wing Escort [T6] Starfleet developed the general capabilities of this class to meet the needs of missions where transportation and defense of small craft, troops, colonists, and other precious cargo into dangerous regions was key to the missions' success. By combining a capable suite of offensive weaponry and coordination systems alongside powerful tractor arrays, modular cargo interlocks, and a large crew, this workhorse straddles the line between being purpose-built and versatile – a virtue that Starfleet of the early-25th century is thankful to have in its ranks. This ship comes with a Commander Tactical / Command Bridge Officer Seat and a Lieutenant Universal / Intel Bridge Officer Seat. Ship Details: Tier: 6 Faction: Federation or Federation-Aligned Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial Hull Modifier: 1.25 Shield Modifier: 0.9 Fore Weapons: 5 Aft Weapons: 2 Device Slots: 2 Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Lieutenant Tactical, 1x Commander Tactical / Command, 1x Lieutenant Engineering, 1x Lt Commander Science, 1x Lieutenant Universal / Intel Consoles: 4 Tactical, 3 Engineering, 3 Science (scales with level) Base Turn Rate: 14 Impulse Modifier: 0.18 Inertia: 60 +10 Weapon Power, +5 Engine Power, +5 Auxiliary Power Console - Universal - Heavy Pulsed Tractor Beam Can Equip Dual Cannons Hangar Bays: 1 Hangar Bay equipped with Federation Valkyrie Squadrons "Inspiration" Ship Mechanic Experimental Weapon Slot equipped with Mjolnir Starship Mastery Package (Strike Wing Escort) Precise Weapon Systems (+Accuracy) Tactical Maneuvers (+Defense) Quick Deployment (+All Damage) Devastating Weaponry (+Critical Chance) Constructive/Destructive Field Interference (Starship Trait) Admiralty Stats Eng: 50 Sci: 29 Tac: 29 Special: -25% Maintenance per TacShip   Console – Universal – Heavy Pulsed Tractor Beam The Tractor Beam phrase for "that wasn't a request", the Heavy Pulsed Tractor Array keeps apace with the theoretical limits of Tractor Beam performance. The heaviest possible relays drive this beast directly off the main lines. In a pinch, it doubles as a combat device, physically pushing Foes around the battlespace or into each other. Starfleet prides itself on its Engineering Corps. Often that means working with what's to hand, turning rocks to replicators, but just as often it means a rugged tech-savvy logistics -- heavy haulers with crew used to pushing their limits, bringing people and material to where they need to be regardless of the circumstances, getting the right people and the right tools to the right jobs right now, often doing it under incoming fire.   This console also provides a passive boost to Starship Exotic Particle Generator skill and bonus damage with Tractor beam Bridge Officer Abilities. This console can be equipped in any starship, in any console slot. You may only equip one of these consoles on any single ship. If Target is Battleship or Larger: Deals moderate Kinetic Damage each sec for up to 20 sec (ignores shields) and reduces Movement For smaller targets: Hold and Pull Foe to your proximity, dealing moderate Kinetic Damage each sec (ignores shields) while Held, for up to 20 sec Once in proximity, ability changes to Forcibly Jettison Cargo. If activated: Push Held Foe toward another targeted Foe When Held Foe impacts Targeted Foe, deal Heavy Kinetic Damage (ignores shields) to both ships, and up to 8 other enemies nearby   Starship Trait – Constructive/Destructive Field Interference While this trait is slotted, your Tractor Beam BOFF abilities steal Shield strength from your Foe's ship and add it to your own (all Shield Facings). Additionally, your Energy Drain BOFF abilities reduce your Foe's Drain Expertise (which influences Drain Resistance) and Kinetic Damage Resistance Rating. When activating a Tractor Beam BOFF ability: Drains Heavy Shields from all facings of Foe Restores Light Shields to all facings of Self When activating an Energy Drain BOFF ability: Reduce Kinetic Damage Resistance Rating of Foe by 15 Reduce Drain Expertise (including Resistance) of Foe by 50   Experimental Weapon – Mjolnir This experimental armament is named for the mighty weapon of the God of Thunder from one of Earth's most beloved ancient mythologies. Like one of the many abilities of its mythical namesake, this weapon channels electrical force into a targeted enemy before arcing to additional nearby foes, dealing heavy electrical damage to all who are affected. To Primary Target: Heavy Electrical Damage To 3 Additional Foes within 2km: Heavy Electrical Damage 3 sec activation, 6 sec Recharge     Hangar Pets – Valkyrie Fighter Squadrons These small ships pack quite a punch, specializing in using coordinated attacks to make the best use of their Photon Torpedoes. These pets can be used on any ship with a hangar bay. They are unlocked by owning the Seneca, Fleet Hiawatha, Valdres, or Fleet Norway. Weapons: Phaser Pulse Cannons Photon Torpedoes Abilities: Torpedo High Yield (Rank I, II, or III depending on Rarity) Torpedo Spread (Rank I, II, or III depending on Rarity)   Fleet Norway Command Strike Wing Escort [T6] The fleet version of the Valdres Command Strike Wing Escort has been updated with the latest technology from your fleet's shipyard.
