The Best Star Trek Online Ships
Star Trek Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the legendary Star Trek franchise. Often regarded as one of the best Star Trek games to be developed, in the game, you are a captain of your own ship, and you set out to explore galaxies and alien societies, upgrading and updating your ship’s systems as you maneuver the galaxies. Despite being over ten years old, Star Trek Online is still incredibly popular, with millions of users logging in to boldly go where no man has gone before.
As you progress through the game, you achieve higher rankings, and each new rank you achieve will give you access to a new ship. There is also the option of purchasing Star Trek Online ships, using energy credits or dilithium. There are quite a few different ships you can get your hands on, and what ship will be best suited to you also depends on your own personal gaming goals, as well as your faction. That being said, there are only a few of these that will deliver the best maneuverability and weapon opportunities, ensuring that you are a formidable match for your enemies. Let’s take a look at some of the best Star Trek Online ships.
NX Class Escort Refit
This ship can deal considerable damage and is also incredibly strong, with 50,625 hull strength at Level 65. It also comes loaded with the Point Defense Bombardment Warhead console, which places a cache of torpedoes in your target area and also causes considerable damage to your enemies. It has a turn rate of 16, which gives you the advantage of making your way to every defense point available, meaning you can creep up on your enemies and suddenly appear where they least expect you. If this sounds like a winner to you, you can purchase it from the Lobi shop for 900 lobi. This is definitely a ship that has what it takes to maneuver a sticky situation quickly and quietly, while also leaving its mark behind.
Jem’Hadar Strike Ship
Now you may be thinking ‘this one looks a bit small’, but in the case of this particular Star Trek Online ship, size isn’t everything. Just take a look at the stats, and the advantage of owning this Star Trek Online ship becomes obvious. An upgraded Tier 6 version of the already intimidating Jem’Hadar Attack Ship, this model lets you carry an experimental weapon - the advantage here being that this weapon is not affected by standard weapon firing modes. It also comes equipped with the Dominion Defense Screen, a console that provides powerful protection in the form of a 95% reduction in shield damage for 20 seconds, as well as providing significant shield regeneration. This Star Trek Online ship is available from the Special Requisition Choice pack that can be accessed during special events, and is perfect for frontline defense and attack.
Odyssey Science Cruiser
Not necessarily a fighting ship, but one that is definitely geared towards the budding explorer and scientist, the Odyssey Science Cruiser is one of the most famous ship models in Star Trek Online - a certain U.S.S. Enterprise just happens to be this exact model of ship. The perfect model for the scientist or explorer who happens to find themselves in the occasional battle, this ship has the ability to deploy repair worker bees that will repair the ship when the shield drops below 75% in battle. It’s definitely not the most powerful ship in the game, but it’s an absolute must for those of you who don’t necessarily engage in battles as much as science.
Kelvin Timeline Intel Dreadnought Cruiser
Undoubtedly one of the deadliest and most aggressive of the Star Trek Online ships, the Kelvin Timeline Intel Dreadnought Cruiser is an absolute must-have for any Federation captain. It counts several one-of-a-kind features that no other Star Trek Online ship has, including some of the most powerful weapons in the game (the assault drones and unstoppable broadside cannon barrage are formidable, to say the least) and features a cloaking system, providing it with some of the best stealth in the game. It can scale up to 70,000 HP before consoles and weapons, giving this ship the flexibility to be armed to the teeth. You can get this Star Trek Online ship at the Lobi store for 900 lobi, and very occasionall,y it crops up at the exchange - so keep your eyes peeled!
Star Trek Online: Ships
So there’s a round-up of some of the best Star Trek Online ships. Every ship in the game has their own special abilities, so whether you’re a blood-thirsty space pirate seeking out battle at every turn, or whether you’re a scientist, anthropologist, or explorer, looking for new life and technologies, there will be a ship for you.
