Star Trek Online website shows preview of Season 2 features
Cryptic has released the tentative list of features included in Season Two: Ancient Enemies, the next Star Trek Online content update due for release this month.
The level cap has been raised to 51 from 45 with three new ranks opening up to both Federation and Klingon factions. But what good are new titles without a new ships to go with them?
That’s why Federation captains will be treated to three new vessels: an Exploration Cruiser retrofit featuring saucer separation, a Tactical Escort retrofit with a non-combat cloaking device and a Long Range Science Vessel retrofit with ablative generators. Meanwhile, Klingons will get the Kar’Fi Carrier, a Fek’Lhri Tactical Carrier with kamikaze S’Kul Fighters.
While the Federation will get more ships, Klingons will get special episodes focusing on their fight against the Fek’lhri, who plan to occupy the Klingon homeworld Qo’noS. Season 2 will also introduce the Federation Diplomatic Corps system, which tracks progress in non-combat missions and awards special rewards for those who complete First Contact missions.
There’s even the new casino game Dabo that’s poised to lure risk-takers who seek gold pressed latinum and the valuable items that can be exchanged for the said currency. Let’s just hope no delays crop up because STO fans have already sacrificed an update so Season 2 can be released on time.
