The Fleet Deep Space Science Vessel is an Admiral (Tier 5) level Federation Science Vessel vessel. Players can obtain the vessel through the Shipyard for 20,000 and 4 , as long as the player's Fleet has a Tier I shipyard.

Designed with a rekindled interest of space exploration after the Dominion Wars, this vessel is equipped with many tools necessary to chart the stars and guide Starfleet into a new age of discovery. The Deep Space Science Vessel has extra Engineering facilities made necessary to make its own repairs or act as a support ship for fleets. Also of note, all Deep Space Science Vessels carry an under-slung secondary array, which can be removed through the starship customization in-game.

Variants

Destiny class

Destiny class

The Destiny class was named in a competition on the official Star Trek Online website during the beta stage by shikamaru317. He stated that he named the vessel in memory of his sister who died in 2001 who was also called Destiny. It is the smallest of the three classes of Deep Space Science Vessel.

Oracle class

Oracle class

Similar to the Trident class, it has a long triangular shaped main hull rather than a typical saucer section found on most other Federation vessels. Its two nacelles are located at the aft section of the vessel connect to the main hull by small horizontal pylons. It is a new vessel to the Star Trek universe and was not seen prior to the game.

Trident class

Trident class

The Trident is a long triangular shaped vessel similar in design to the Oracle class. It has a slightly more abrasive and larger hull than the two other classes of this starship type.

Nimbus class

Nimbus class

Nimbus is a variant of the Destiny Class, and very distinctive from the others. Its hull is more armoured and overall length is a bit shorter. Nacelles sport a Klingon-like design instead of the normal Federation soft curves. This class is no longer available through the C-Store.

Abilities

Federation Science vessels come with built-in abilities. These abilities do not automatically rank up when acquiring higher tier Science starships and must be gained through Tactical Space Bridge officer abilities.

• Beam Target Auxiliary Subsystems I
• Beam Target Weapons Subsystems I
• Beam Target Engines Subsystems I
• Beam Target Shields Subsystems I
• Sensor Analysis

After activating a subsystem targeting ability, the player will have 30 seconds to attack an enemy ship with any form of beam weapon. The attack will lower power to that system, and have a small chance of completely taking the system offline. If the system is taken offline it renders all abilities that use that subsystem temporarily inert. For example, if you target the shields and subsequently take them offline, then all of the enemies shield facings will go down.

The Sensor Analysis passive ability grants the player a stacking damage bonus of 3.33% per minute against a single target whilst the player maintains target lock on an enemy. Once the player switches targets the bonus is reset.
