The Stats of the Son'a Ships!

By Ambassador Kael | Mon 17 Jul 2017 09:00:00 AM PDT

Since the days of the infamous Briar Patch Incident, the Son'a have earned the reputation as being outcasts of the Alpha Quadrant. Despite this reputation, there's no denying that the Son'a remain at the forefront of medical technology, as well as being in possession of incredibly powerful sensor and energy absorption technology. Using these advancements on their vessels makes them formidable foes, capable of outmaneuvering and debilitating most of their enemies. Research of the technology they use has allowed the Alliance to make significant advances, the results of which will soon be made available to captains across the Milky Way.

The following starships will become available with the release of the Son’a Lock Box, scheduled to arrive on PC starting with Season 13.5 on July 18th, 2017.

Son’a Command Science Vessel [T6]

Son'a Command Science Vessels represent the bulk of their fleet, striking a balance between debilitating their foes and supporting their fellow combat vessels.

This starship features a Commander Science/Command Specialist Bridge Officer seat and a Lieutenant Universal/Intelligence Specialist Bridge Officer seat.

Command ships are impressive vessels designed to inspire those around them. When the Command ship or its teammates activate a Bridge Officer ability, all Command Ships on the team will receive a small amount of the Inspiration resource. Command Bridge Officer abilities generate additional Inspiration. Once a Command ship's Inspiration meter is full they can use one of three powerful abilities that can turn the tide of battle.

    • Kick Them While They're Down (Starship Trait)

Console – Universal – Deep Analytics Sensor Package

When activated, this console emanates a field 3km in every direction, which lasts a moderate duration. All allies within this field, including yourself, are granted increased Shield Penetration and Armor Penetration as long as they remain within the field. Meanwhile, all foes within the field will have one beneficial effect removed every second (starting with the longest remaining duration), as well as suffering penalties to ability recharge times.

This console also provides a passive boost to Maximum Auxiliary Subsystem Power, Control Expertise, and Shield Hardness.

This console may be equipped in any console slot, on any Son'a starship. You may only have one of these consoles equipped at a time.

Starship Trait – Kick Them While They’re Down

After achieving Level 5 in your Son’a Command Science Vessel, you will unlock the Kick Them While They’re Down Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, activating any foe-targeted Control Bridge Officer Ability on an enemy that is affected by a Control effect will grant you an increase to Critical Chance for a moderate period of time. This effect can stack several times.

Son’a Intel Battlecruiser [T6]

Son'a Intel Battlecruisers are the vanguard of the Son'a fleet and are capable of withstanding heavy fire while simultaneously undermining their foes' ability to put up a strong fight, all without sacrificing offensive firepower.

This starship features a Commander Engineering/Intelligence Specialist Bridge Officer seat, and a Lieutenant Universal/Command Specialist Bridge Officer seat.

It features Active Sensor Arrays, which allow this Intel craft to gather information about their target to expose a vulnerability in their defenses.

Intel Ships are all capable of passive Warp Signature Masking. This passive ability grants the Intel ship a tiny amount of Stealth, which will render the Intel craft undetectable at long range.

Ship Details:

  • Tier: 6
  • Faction: All
  • Availability: Lobi Store
  • Rank Required: Rear Admiral, Brigadier General or Sub Admiral I (Level 40)

    • Command - Weapon System Efficiency

Console – Universal – Subspace Barrier Agitator

Building from their knowledge of dangerous subspace weaponry, the Son'a developed this specialized piece of deflector technology capable of analyzing localized space near an enemy to find weak points in the barrier between normal space and subspace. Then, using automated quantum drilling drones, these weak points are violently torn open to create volatile anomalies that will seek out enemies and damage them while draining their subsystem energy.

This console provides a passive boost to Maximum Shield Subsystem Power, Drain Expertise and Shield Capacity.

This console may be equipped in any console slot, on any Son'a starship. You may only have one of these consoles equipped at a time.

Starship Trait – Subspatial Warheads

After achieving Level 5 in your Son’a Intel Battlecruiser [T6], you will unlock the Subspatial Warheads Starship Trait. While slotted, damage caused by your High Yield Torpedoes and Transport Warheads will cause an Isolytic Tear to form near the damaged target. This anomaly will chase down the nearest foe, causing physical damage and draining engine subsystem power to any enemies it encounters.

Admiralty Ship Stats:

  • Engineering: 59
  • Science: 25
  • Tactical: 42
  • Special: +8 ENG per SciShip or TacShip

Console Set Bonus – Briar Patch Explorer

  • +20% Damage with Plasma Energy Weapons
  • +10% Hull Regeneration (20% when not in Combat)

NOTE: The above stats for all ships are subject to change.
