With the official launch of Star Trek Online coming closer, more and more information about the game, both official and what’s speculated is being discussed in STO community sites, blogs and forums.
Here’s a short introductory Star Trek Online Ship Guide:
One of the more obvious and likely-to-be prominent feature of the game are ships. To a certain extend, some fans are already guessing the the game will have similarities to the well-known and unique space theme MMORPG, EVE Online.
Here’s what is already officially shared by Cryptic Studio when it comes to ships:
- First, each ship or otherwise known as vessel will be suitable for different functions. For example, there would be science vessels as oppose to cruisers and so on and so forth.
- Then there will definitely be ship sizes. The size effects the capabilities of each ship and relates to the purpose. Of course, larger ships will be able to hold larger crews but may take longer to repair.
- Other then size, each ship will work around different utilities.
- Then there’s modification slots. These slots allows for ship modification to increase effectiveness. Different ships would have different spacing allocated for the slots.
Ships plays an important role in Star Trek Online. Players and team up and fly vessels into battle with NPCs. The game itself is designed for missions to be completed both on the ground and in space.
