STAR TREK ONLINE SHIPS ESCORT SERIES

When activated, this console will emit a devastating burst of tachyon radiation that will deal instant heavy shield damage to foes with 5km. The abilities and console sound interesting.Īll three of these new Tier 6 starships come equipped with a Destabilized Tachyon Emitters universal console. And for the first time in over a year I am actually considering cannons (yeah, yeah I will most likely drop back to a beamscor There will most definitely be a Fleet variant, but the added punch of factions-specific version means this is a hell-yeah purchase for my collection. Like our previous cross faction bundles, all three of these new ships have been given a 2410 visual update. This starship is an upgraded version of the Tier 5 Ar’kif Tactical Carrier Warbird Retrofit and is available to Vice Admiral Romulan captains.

Lastly we have the Jhu’ael Tactical Carrier Warbird. Much like the Alita Class, it features everything you’d expect from a Klingon Raptor and it includes a single hangar bay and is available at Lieutenant General rank. The second is an all new Klingon Raptor called the Qa’Tel Flight Deck Raptor. This starship is available at Vice Admiral rank. The first is an enhanced version of the Tier 5 Armitage Heavy Escort Carrier, called the Alita Class Heavy Escort Carrier. In truth though it will likely not have pilot-ship capabilities, but I certainly am hoping for some sort of interesting mix of intel/command seating.įrom Trendy’s post: We’re excited to announce three new Tier 6 Heavy Escort Carrier starships. If this ship comes with a universal/pilot seat AND pilot-ship capabilities I think I might have a geekgasm. So when it became official this past week – I was actually excited about a new ship and I haven’t even seen the stats. The design was a collaboration between STO Concept Artist Hector Ortiz and I. Better yet it’s part of a 3-faction set of HEC’s, and this version was worked on by Thomas and Hector Ortiz. I don’t spend this much time talking about other ships for good reason.įast forward a fair bit of time, and the ‘people who shall not be named’ leaked that there was in fact a T6 Armitage in the works. Everyone had their time flying this beast. But I never broke down and bought the fleet version of the Heavy Escort Carrier. Over the years money was no longer an issue, and fleet ship variants popped up on all of my alts. I struggled with the decision and finally the MVAE won out (sans the consoles of course). Later, I finally have the resources to get a fleet ship. Even though I would move onto the MVAE and Chel Grett, I’d always come back to my first true love every so often. And the thought of buying the fleet version was left farther behind. I might add my first invite to the first DPS league was from Porch, while I flew my ArmitageĪlong the way other ships became slightly better. (the best at the time), I struggled in a very small fleet to get to the tier necessary to purchase the ship. While I learned to love this ship I ground my way to Elite Scorpions through LoR, finished my OMEGA rep for those oh-so-sweet torpedoes

Sharpe was a bit of an arrogant twat, but man could run a dilithium farming series with military precision. Running Elite STF’s with Rain and Sharpe – you’ll remember Sharpe powered dilithium runs The first ship I learned to drop all of the gimickey consoles from, and yes the first ship that I broke 10K with. It was the first ship I had ever put together a purpose-build for.

If you’re a sci-fi geek, you’ll know the origins of that name. Oh, and it’s the ONLY ship I bought another ‘skin for’. In a world where the Bug was top dog, this was a close second. It was for someone who that 2.5K was something to be proud ofĪdd to the belief at that time that a AP DHC build was ‘the only build’ you should consider as a Federation captain (Klingon’s had Elite Fleet Disrupters – bastards!), this ship could pack a serious punch with no less than three tac seats. My thinking back then was if it worked as well as the Point Defense Console Was one of the first ships I paid ‘real money’ for, primarily due to it’s Photon Torpedo Point Defense SystemĬonsole. The game carried the moniker ‘Escorts Online’ and I promise you it had nothing to do with with dating opportunities. In Star Trek Online you have a wide selection of ships types, and back then the escort-class was all the rage. Back when fleet ships were first introduced, my must-have fleet variant was the Armitage class.
