The Nebula-class Advanced Research Vessel is a Tier 3 (Level 20) Science Vessel which may be flown by Starfleet characters, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters. All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store.
Players can obtain this starship from any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 75,000 under the name Advanced Research Vessel. This ship can be purchased individually, or as part of the Nebula Bundle for 6,000 . This ship was previously available on its own from the Zen Store; players that purchased it from there can still reclaim it from there on all their characters.
Overview[ | ]
Known as the new "workhorse" of the Federation, this ship type has been in Starfleet service since 2363. This class of vessel replaced the Miranda class as the multi-purpose mission vessel, taking on various tasks from patrols to humanitarian or diplomatic missions, exploration and research duties.
Class variants
Class | Information |
---|---|
Nebula class Aft |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Nebula class is an iconic 24th century design and sibling to the Galaxy class. The Nebula class has many structural components similar to the Galaxy class. It has a large saucer shaped primary hull atop a smaller secondary hull, with the warp nacelles mounted below the saucer. To the aft is a large pylon supporting a triangular mission pod. This variant represents the most frequently seen version of the physical miniature featured in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek Generations, and Star Trek: First Contact. |
Nebula class Phoenix subtype Aft |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free This variant represents the original configuration of the Nebula class seen as the the USS Phoenix in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Wounded". It features a saucer-shaped mission pod held by a split pylon. |
Nebula class Farragut subtype Aft |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free This variant represents the CGI version of the Nebula class as seen in later episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. It has a saucer and engineering hull more reminiscent of the Galaxy class, along with alternate markings on its nacelles, their pylons, and mission pod. Note that the U.S.S. Farragut itself did not appear in this configuration, the name Farragut was preferred for the template over Bonchune, which is the name of the first CGI Nebula class starship. [1] |
Nebula class variant Venture subtype Aft |
SKIN UNLOCK: Venture Exploration Cruiser Refit, 150,000 This variant of the Advanced Research Vessel utilizes Venture class components. Its triangular mission pod is oriented 'backwards' compared to the Nebula. This starship class has not yet been given a formal name. |
Magellan class Aft |
SKIN UNLOCK: Any T5 or T6 Advanced Research Vessel variant What the Nebula is to the Galaxy, the Magellan is to the Monarch class. The Magellan class has a broader, more angular mission pod, and its warp nacelles have a triangular cross section. |
Sutherland class Aft |
SKIN UNLOCK: Sutherland Advanced Research Vessel, 3,000 As with the other Nebula class variants, the Sutherland too is based on Exploration Cruiser components: the Andromeda class. This variant features a circular mission pod. |
Sutherland class Beta Aft |
SKIN UNLOCK: Sutherland Advanced Research Vessel, 3,000 This variant of the Sutherland class features a triangular mission pod. |
Abililites[ | ]
Universal console[ | ]
This vessel includes the [Console - Universal - Tachyon Detection Field]. It gives the ship a strong boost to sensing abilities, as well as a small boost to cloak detection. The Tachyon Detection Field can be removed and equipped on any vessel.
Sensor Analysis[]
Sensor Analysis is an active toggle ability. While maintaining a Sensor Lock on a target, the player gains a stacking effect that either improves the damage and power drain against an enemy, or improves any heal directed towards an ally. This effect stacks every 3 seconds, to a maximum of 6 stacks after 18 continuous seconds. To maintain the desired effect, the player must hold the sensor lock.
Subsystem Targeting[]
The Nebula-class Advanced Research Vessel comes with built-in Subsystem Targeting abilities. These built-in abilities stay at Rank I and do not automatically rank up when acquiring higher tier Science starships. They are separate from Subsystem Targeting abilities gained through Tactical Space Bridge officer abilities.
- Target Auxiliary Subsystems I
- Target Weapons Subsystems I
- Target Engines Subsystems I
- Target Shields Subsystems I
Activating a subsystem targeting ability will upgrade all energy weapons to inflict a stacking power drain on the foe's targeted subsystem for the next 10 seconds. They will also have a small chance to knock the targeted subsystem offline for a short duration.
Standard configuration[ | ]
Federation starships come with standard equipment and weapons of the lowest mark available at the ship's minimum rank. The items provided are appropriate to the type of vessel and its related playing style.
