Our new Starships are available! For this weekend only, Captains can enjoy these ships for an introductory sale until 11/9 at 9AM PDT.
We’re excited to reveal the stats, items and abilities for three new Tier 6 starships: the Valiant Class Tactical Escort, the Kor Bird-of-Prey and the Malem Light Warbird. 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.
TheTier 6 Valiant Class Tactical Escort is based upon the highly successful Defiant Class design. Unlike the Defiant, which was designed specifically to combat the Borg, the Valiant Class was built with the Federation's new enemies in mind.
This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Tactical/Pilot specialist seat.
Costume
The Valiant Class comes with its own unique costume. In addition it can use the Defiant, Gallant, Gallant Refit, Vigilant and Vigilant Refit costumes for free, and it can use the Sao Paulo costume if that starship is owned.

The Fleet Tactical Escort [T6] has been specifically designed to support your Fleet. Fleet Starships are built to the highest standard and have increased Hull Hit Points, Shield Strength and an additional Console slot. Tier 6 Fleet ships do not have a 5th Starship Mastery level and thus do not unlock a Starship Trait.

When attacking while cloaked, the ship's cloak will drop for a few seconds, leaving the ship momentarily exposed.
