Costumes - Frontier Doctor Outfit
Stay fashionable whether you are enjoying some Rest and Relaxation on Risa or cruising your way through an uncharted corner of the universe with this outfit inspired by the one worn by Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy.

Costumes - Risian Sunscreen Makeup
The last thing you want is to miss the Dancing Competition due to a slightly too long nap under the Risian sun, so be sure to wear proper sunscreen and avoid the trip to medbay for dermal regeneration!


Image

Classic Thruster Pack, Prismatic Floater, and Prismatic Powerboard
Enjoy the Risian skies and waves with these new models of floaters and powerboard!

The Prismatic Floater and Prismatic Powerboard colors will mesmerize anyone looking your way whether you are riding the last wave or admiring the vista from the top of the lighthouse.

Bring back memories from many summers ago with the Classic Thruster Pack, inspired by the ones seen on Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Universal Kit Modules
This year we are focusing on the terra- part of terraforming with a set of ground and ground-adjacent Universal Kit Modules, compatible with last year’s Risian Terraformer Universal Kit Frame.

Rapid Lithic Formation (Earth Elemental Kit)
Catch your foes by surprise by springing fully formed stalagmites right under their feet! This kit module will deal kinetic damage to enemies in a 5 meters radius from the main target. It also has a 20% chance of knocking those affected into the air.

Mineral Quicksand (Earth Elemental Kit)
Make the ground where your foes stand their worst enemy! This kit module will modify the chemical structure of a 15 meters area of ground, right under the target’s position dealing damage and slowing them every second (Max 5 stacks). Once at max, the target will be rooted in place for 10 seconds. But all that mineral oil is highly flammable: using Direct Energy Weapons on a rooted target will ignite them for 10 seconds!

Wrist-Mounted Acid Spray (Air Elemental Kit)
Hold the power of Risian terraforming in your…wrist. Inside this Wrist-Mounted module are all the necessary elements to aerosolize a very potent acid mix that will deal toxic damage for 10 seconds to any foe unfortunate enough to be affected by its spray. They will also receive +10% damage (Max 5 Stacks) and be Confused for 10 seconds.


Emotes
New emotes available to unlock:

Get a proper stretch with Calisthenics.
Image

Conquer the dance hall with Tapdance (as well as a bonus looping version that plays indefinitely!).
Image

Get some friends together to show your hype with Baseball Wave.

The Federation Intel Holoship

Let the summer festivities commence! As the Grand Prize of this year’s Lohlunat Festival Summer Event, players on PC and Console will have the chance to earn the Federation Intel Holoship [T6].

Continue reading further on for the full details on this new starship!

Image

Federation Intel Holoship [T6]
In 2375 Starfleet converted an unassuming civilian bulk freighter into a massive, mobile holodeck, equipped with a cloaking device and a large array of long-range transporters. This ship, originally adapted for use in a clandestine operation led by a rogue Starfleet Admiral, inspired Starfleet Tactical to revisit the naval tradition of the “Q-Ship.”

During the 20th century, Q-Ships were freighters that had been secretly retrofitted for combat. Opportunistic warships would close in search of easy prey, only to fall victim to the ship’s hidden weapons. The Federation Intel Holoship brought that concept forward to the 24th century in a bid to combat piracy and conduct important espionage actions during the Dominion War. Now, Starfleet has upgraded its systems yet again. It is outfitted for combat and is enhanced by the number of kills it delivers within a set time scale.

Along with its Holomatrix Emitter, this ship is also capable of assuming one of three different Holographic Configurations (Tactical, Science and Engineering) to better mimic the ships that its Holomatrix emits:

Each Configuration has their own strengths and weaknesses and has its own Foes Defeated Counter, which grant additional bonuses that grow in power when more enemies are defeated.

The ship holograms available to use are different for each configuration, and more holograms are available depending on the Foes Defeated Counter of that specific configuration.

This starship features a Commander Universal / Intelligence specialist seat and a Lieutenant Commander Universal / Miracle Worker specialist seat.

*The Foes Defeated Counter for each mode resets after 20 hours without defeating a foe while using that mode.

Activate Holomatrix
Along with its robust holographic configurations, the Federation Intel Holoship also comes with a feature that allows it to mask itself as other ships. When using this ability, a Holomatrix Field masks the ship with a hologram from a range of ships that served during in the Dominion War era. The ship hologram is randomly chosen and change depending on which holographic configuration this ship is in. The list of possible ship holograms increase depending on the Foes Defeated Counter of each holographic configuration mode. There are 24 possible ship holograms:

No Holographic Configuration

Console - Universal - Holomatrix Distortion
Applying the knowledge on holographic projections, this console can trigger a Holomatrix Distortion around the ship, which increases its defensive capabilities by placating nearby enemies.

While the enemies are placated, this allows your crew to prepare your ship against the upcoming threat, applying Temporary Hull Points and increasing your own all damage resistance (further enhanced for each target hit), while also decreasing enemy’s damage resistance.

This console also provides a passive bonus to Inertia Rating and Defense Rating.

To Self:
Increase Temporary HP
+5% All Damage Resistance for 15 seconds
(Additional) +5% All Damage Resistance per foe hit

To Target:

-25% All Damage Resistance for up to 10 foes in a 10km radius for 15 seconds
