6th Anniversary Main Giveaway – T6 Krenim Science Ship Stats
Posted this morning on the Star Trek Online Blog: the Krenim Science Ship Lootcritter: My initial impression is WOW. For a free* ship this looks like a lot of fun. All the benefits of a science ship (sensor analysis, subsystem targeting, shield bonus), and enough flexibility for a variety of builds with decent tactical capability. But of course, I’m heavily biased towards any science ship;) … Continue reading 6th Anniversary Main Giveaway – T6 Krenim Science Ship Stats

http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1210527/tribble-maintenance-and-release-notes-january-20-2016 Coldsnapped posted the Tribble notes on the main forums. While no major hints about the upcoming Anniversary Event (Yay! Omega Particles), or the new flagships, there was a welcomed reference to the recent Valiant set, where having the quad cannons included upgrades your fedcloak to Battle Cloak. Details to follow. Frankly I still think that an integral cloak would have been the right thing to do, but … Continue reading Odenknight’s Gonna Be Happy, Valiant Battle Cloak – Tribble Update for 1/20/2016
Qmendations Retiring – Suggestions on how we could see the ships return
Along with Q’s 8×10″ Glossies, the Qmendations from the anniversary event are formally being retired. In the past 2 years long-term regular players could save up these tokens allowing them to effectively skip the races and events the following year but still get the rewards. This was clearly not the intended purpose, the designers are shifting the game rewards to time-sensitive currencies to ensure they get … Continue reading Qmendations Retiring – Suggestions on how we could see the ships return

Unexpectedly appearing this morning to a mixed reception, the latest effort in the revised franchise see’s our valiant ship being shredded by a swarm-like attack, a crashed primary hull on the surface of an alien world (Enterprise or some other ship?), followed by a lot of action on the ground. … Continue reading Star Trek Beyond 2015 Trailer
