Tier 6 Iconic Ship Stats
Posted: Wed April 1st, 2015 9:45 pm
We’re quite excited to reveal the statics and specifics for the Andromeda Class Exploration Cruiser, Negh’Tev Heavy Battlecruiser and the D’Khellra Warbird Battlecruiser. Each of these Tier 6 ships are based on existing iconic Star Trek ships. All three come with a special console and can unlock a powerful starship trait at level 5 Starship Mastery. Without further ado, here are the stats for these impressive ships.
Following the success of the Pathfinder class in Operation Delta Rising, Starfleet Corps of Engineers teams at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards began work on updates of other core ship designs in the Federation fleet. The Andromeda Exploration Cruiser is the first ship from this effort to be released to Starfleet captains. An update of the famed Galaxy class that was the flagship of Starfleet in the mid-24th century, the Andromeda incorporates updated technology developed to give this ship improved capabilities for the difficult challenges Starfleet faces in the months ahead.
This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Command specialist seat.

The Andromeda Class Exploration Cruiser has its own unique costumes and gains access to parts from the Galaxy and Monarch costumes and can also use parts from the Venture Class if you own that starship.

Console – Universal – Molecular Cohesion Nullifier
Experimental shielding technology has taken a turn towards offensive weaponry, allowing this device to generate a local field that damages the molecular bonds of matter in a short radius. The Molecular Cohesion Nullifier Field will also protect the user from all sources of damage while active. Both the damage and damage resistance effects will resonate at more powerful frequencies, based on how many foes are within the affected area. In addition, while equipped, this console also provides a passive bonus to max sub-system power levels.

Q&A
Q: Will there be fleet versions of these ships?
A: Yes! Each of these ships gain +1 Engineering console slot and +10% Maximum hull hit points and +10% Maximum shield capacity. They will be made available upon release of these three new ships. They are unlocked upon reaching tier 4 in your starbase’s shipyard.
It should be noted that Fleet Tier 6 ships do not come with a 5th level of Starship Mastery and thus do not have a Starship Trait.
Q: Why isn’t the Negh’Tev’s Molecular Cohesion Nullifier console part of a set?
A: No other Negh’Var variants came with a console, so there were no consoles with which to make a set.
We look forward to getting these awesome new ships into your hands!
See you in game.
