T6 Battlecruisers Ship Stats

We’re excited to reveal the stats, items and abilities for three new starships: the Arbiter Class Battlecruiser, the Kurak Battlecruiser and the Morrigu Heavy Warbird. Each of these ships are an enhanced version of an existing Tier 5 battlecruiser or 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.

The Tier 6 Arbiter Class Battlecruiser is based upon the Avenger Class Battlecruiser’s design. This upgraded starship was designed from the ground up to be durable enough to combat the Iconian threat while still being able to deliver punishing amounts of damage.

This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Tactical/Intel specialist seat.

Costume

The Arbiter Class Battlecruiser has a brand new costume. In addition, the Arbiter has access to the Avenger Battlecruiser’s costume.

Universal Console – Ablative Hazard Shielding

When activated, Ablative Hazard Shielding grants a temporary secondary shield. Upon expiration, energy absorbed by the shielding is shunted to shields and the structural integrity field, granting a large Hull and Shield Heal.

This console also provides a passive boost to shield hardness and regeneration.

This console may be equipped on any Starfleet Battlecruiser into any of their console slots. You may only equip one of these consoles.

Deadly Maneuvers Set (2 pieces)

Equipping both consoles from the Avenger Class Battlecruiser and the Arbiter Class Battlecruiser [T6] will bestow a set bonus to your starship.

Emergency Weapon Cycle (Starship Trait)

After achieving level 5 in the Arbiter Class Battlecruiser [T6], Kurak Battlecruiser [T6] or Morrigu Heavy Warbird [T6] Starship Mastery, you will unlock the Emergency Weapon Cycle starship trait. While this starship trait is slotted, activating Emergency Power to Weapons will provide a reduction in weapon power cost and grant a boost to weapon firing speed for the duration of Emergency Power to Weapons.
