Pursuit of this feature began as an experiment with the Prototype Walker, and was later refined over the course of multiple subsequent ship releases, including the Mirror Universe Engle, Shran and M’Chla Pilot Starships, T’Pau Scout Ship, and Styx Terran Dreadnought, among others. With so many successfully-released starships now available to players, this experiment has solidified into a feature we are excited to pursue for all existing Tier 6 Starships, as well as all new ones going forward. We’ve seen a great deal of excitement and appreciation from players over removing the level restrictions on the aforementioned ships, along with the scaling mechanics represented in those ships. The impact these prototypes have had on the game has been overall positive from our perspective as developers, as well. Removing level restrictions on so many premium starships allows us to eliminate a barrier that was keeping many players from immediately being able to fly and appreciate the ships they had won or purchased, whether that was from the C-Store, a Lock Box, or from the Exchange. Level restrictions on the starships and associated reward packs have been removed.TOS Federation = “Explore Earth Spacedock”.2409 Federation = “Welcome to Earth Spacedock”.What the “Tutorial Experience” encompasses is different per starting faction, and encompasses the completion of all Missions up to and including the following: All Tier 6 Starships may now be flown by characters at any level, provided they have completed the Tutorial Experience for their chosen starting faction.So, what – exactly – does this mean for you? And by replacing the “standard issue” equipment with gear that scales along with you, we are removing some of the further pain points of using these scaling ships as you level up, as any gear you haven’t been able to upgrade with drops or mission rewards, will at least stay level-appropriate. Tier 6 Starships flown at lower levels have reduced stats and capabilities compared to their full potential, approximately matching other ships of the same level, and will grow with you as you level up.This change allows for characters to immediately commission ships obtained from Lock Boxes, Promos, Events, and other non-C-Store sources. Precisely what this means to different aspects of your ship depends on what its stats and slots look like when you are at level 50+. All starting equipment ("Standard Issue") that comes pre-equipped on Tier 6 Starships has been changed into scaling versions of those items, usable at any level.Number of Engineering/Science/Tactical Console Slots.Here is a brief list of the aspects of a ship that will scale as you level up: A full layout of these specifics will be included at the end of this blog. (Note: These changes also occurred on many non-T6 ships, if they shared equipment with a T6 starship. This is intentional.)īy changing all of this starter equipment into scaling versions, we are able to ensure that the equipment your starships start with will be usable at any level.
