We’re excited to reveal the stats, items and abilities for three new Escort Carriers: the Alita Class Heavy Escort Carrier, the Qa’Tel Flight Deck Raptor and the Jhu’ael Tactical Warbird Carrier. All three of these ships come equipped with a special console and can unlock a new starship trait at level 5 Starship Mastery. Below are the stats for these new Tier 6 starships and their fleet variants that will be released at the same time as the standard Tier 6 versions.
The tier 6 Alita Class Heavy Escort Carrier is based upon the highly successful Armitage Class design.
This new heavy escort has been built from the ground up to most efficiently combat the Iconian threat. This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Pilot specialist seat. The Heavy Escort Carrier [T6] has a single hangar bay equipped with Peregrine Fighters. These light craft are equipped with Phaser Pulse Cannons and Micro Photon Torpedoes.
Costume
The Alita Class Heavy Escort Carrier has its own unique costume. In addition this starship has access to the Akira, Zephyr and Oslo class costumes for free, while it has access to the Armitage and Thunderchild costumes if those ships are owned.
