Post by cmdraftbrn »

We’re very excited to announce a brand new Tier 6 starship that will be joining our already expansive ship line-up! Based on the success of the Sovereign Class Assault Cruiser, the Tier 6 Archon Class Assault Cruiser makes its debut as a sturdy starship capable of both taking a punch and delivering one of its own. Below are the stats for this starship along with its Fleet variant.

Intel Assault Cruiser [T6] – Archon Class

The Tier 6 Archon Class Intel Assault Cruiser is based on the successful design of the Sovereign Class, however it has been heavily retrofitted with state-of-the-art technology. This Assault Cruiser variant is equipped with an Incremental Phase Cloaking Device.

This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Universal/Intel specialist seat.

Console – Universal – Incremental Phase Cloaking Device
The Archon Class Intel Assault Cruiser comes equipped with the Incremental Phase Cloaking Device. When activated, your starship will taunt nearby enemies and begin to partially phase out. During this time, your starship will deal reduced energy damage, but will be immune to energy damage. After a short period of time you will briefly become fully phased out and be unable to attack or be attacked, before returning to normal phase.

This console provides a passive boost to the Tactical Readiness and Critical Hit Chance.

This console may be equipped on any Starfleet Assault Cruiser.

Specialist Knowledge (Starship Trait)
After achieving level 5 in the Intel Assault Cruiser's starship mastery, you will unlock the Specialist Knowledge starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, activating any Intel or Command Bridge Officer Specialist ability will reduce the recharge time of all Engineering Bridge Officer abilities.

Don't like the nacells. They could have done better with the bridge officer slots too.

The BOs made me double take, too, but having all the Sov variants means I'll be able to Frankenstein this thing a bit! :D
