Star Trek Online have launched their interpretation of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-F) and it’s Klingon counterpart, the Bortas Battle Cruiser.
Available for a limited time (2nd February – 6th February 2012), Players can earn these two ships, but they come with the condition that you must be Level 50 to pilot them. For me, that’s a massive 21 Levels away.
Federation – Odyssey Class
Klingon – Bortas Battle Cruiser
Both these ships will be available from 2nd February to the 6th February 2012 to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of Star Trek Online. Although these ships will likely become available for purchase in the future, Cryptic are unsure at the moment when this will be.
Readers who have followed Chris Jones Gaming’s Ultimate Universe Mod will remember that we were lucky enough to feature DJ Curtis’ Century Class, which featured as our USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-F).
Although it’s great people can claim ships as advanced as this for a limited time, they’re not exactly as exclusive as they could have been.
People have four days to claim the Odyssey Class and the Bortas Battle Cruiser. I’ve already seen a number of Odyssey Class at Earth Spacedock, which kind of takes away from the special nature of the ships.
How To Claim Yours (2nd February 2012 – 6th February 2012)
From the Star Trek Online Official Forum Post:
Q: How does the flagship mission work for Federation characters?
A: One time during the event, a Federation character of level 5 or higher can talk to Engineer Kani on Earth Spacedock to start the mission. The mission will ask you to take a brand new Odyssey class starship out on a shakedown cruise. At the completion of the mission, the character will receive a non-tradable inventory item that contains a starship. This item cannot be opened to actually get the starship until the character achieves the rank of Vice Admiral at level 50.
Q: How does the flagship mission work for Klingon characters?
A: One time during the event, a KDF character of level 21 or higher can talk to Engineer Tum’Era on Qo’noS. The mission will ask you to take a brand new Bortas class starship out on a shakedown cruise. At the completion of the mission, the character will receive a non-tradable inventory item that contains a starship. This item cannot be opened to actually get the starship until the character achieves the rank of Lt. General at level 50.
