Store Description
The classic Federation starship of the 23rd century can now be yours! This Tier 1 cruiser has a 20% boost to hit points, an extra Engineering console slot and TOS-style blue phasers that increase their effectiveness based on your level. Note: purchase of this starship unlocks it for every Federation character on an account.
Variants
Constitution class
The Constitution class is possibly the most iconic Starfleet vessel in history, and the most recognizable Starfleet vessel from the 23rd century. Originally designed as a heavy cruiser in the 2240s, the Constitution-class was one of the most versatile and powerful ships of the line. Boasting the newly created phaser banks and unprecedented number of science facilities, defensive and sensory capabilities, this class of ship was a formidable presence under the command of competent captains, and was the forefront of Starfleet's exploratory and diplomatic programs for over twenty years. The Constitution-class was refitted, and is available ingame as the Cruiser.
This type of ship gained its legendary status from the historic U.S.S. Enterprise 's five-year mission, commanded by James T. Kirk in Star Trek.
Note that this vessel has no customizable ship parts. Only the windows, hull type, paint jobs, and interiors are customizable.
Performance
This classic ship is quite versatile, just like its Light Cruiser variant. However, with the 20% boost in hit points, Warp Core power bonus and the extra Engineering console, it is even better in the tanking role. With every level the player gains, the TOS-style blue phasers increase in effectiveness, allowing them to continue to be useful, even into endgame.
