Jupiter Class Stats & Abilities Revealed

Cryptic Studios has revealed the design and statistics for the new Jupiter Class Carrier, the one voted into the game by the Star Trek Online Community. In addition to stats and abilities, players will find out what items will come with the new ship, including its console and the new Starship trait.

Very early on, we were pretty sure this ship could potentially replace the Jupiter class Dreadnought. It later occurred to us that the ship could truly do so by assuming the Jupiter class name. It was our intention to have this ship be massive since it would be both a carrier and taking on the Jupiter-class namesake. The new Jupiter class Carrier would serve as a mobile fighter launching support platform, and it was for this reason we decided to give it a universal console with a team support ability. We knew we wanted the Jupiter’s starship trait to interact with its hangar pets. Many options were considered; ultimately one came out on top. The Insult to Injury trait was decided to be a clear winner and would allow for some interesting gameplay options.
