In the latest entry into the Star Trek Online blog series, "The Road to F2P", starships are detailed. The blog post starts with the announcement that the Tribble test server is "experimenting with some line-up changes to the starships for both the Federation and Klingon Defense Force."

Not only are existing starships being overhauled, but the team has revealed that new ships will be launched on Tribble over the next several weeks. The article also features a handy dandy chart laying out available ships for each character level.

Read the full starship report on the Star Trek Online site.

I'm not impressed with the LT. General and Vice Admiral ship offerings.  I would hope the Rear Admiral and Brigadier General level ships could be used and or upgraded to be competitive at the last tier.

This game begs for an engine to deliver fantastic graphics.......and it doesn't have it.

Though I don't totally agree with the group that thinks a Constituition could or should be refitted to be viable at T5, I do still play in my T3 Olympic Hybrid. I just don't care for the higher level Science ships. Maybe some of the exclusive consoles that will be available only in c-store ships will help out those of us who use "outdated" starships.

I'm still dreaming for an MMO based on Star Fleet Battles.....now THAT would be fun!!

With F2P you knew more ships were coming

People say you can't have a T5 Constitution refit because it's not realistic to the timeline.  But in this timeline you can buy Federation and Klingon Ships in a 'C-store.'  I never saw a 'C-store' in the show.

That would have (could have) been excellent! I don't understand why they don't seem to mine that huge source for ship design ideas... But then I don't understand why they've made have the half-a$$ed decisions they have....

Not the only one.

Have they yet fixed the ugly, low res starship models?

When I played the game I was excited to get a Constitution class ship only to find out that it looked nothing like the ship from the movies that I love so much.
