Starship equipment
Contents
Overview[edit | edit source]
Players are able to utilize various different types of starship equipment for use in space combat. The equipment chosen will have an effect on how the player's starship will perform. The correct choice of equipment could be the difference between success and failure.
You may also find these items in space combat as loot. You may choose to either keep and equip them, trade them to other players that need them, or sell them on the exchange. Note that Bound items cannot be sold on the Exchange or traded with other players.
Warp Core[edit | edit source]
Warp Cores affect sector-space movement speed and confer certain power bonuses. Federation and Klingon ships use Matter/Anti-Matter cores, while Romulan vessels sport Singularity Cores.
See Warp Core for more information.
Deflector Dish[edit | edit source]
Deflector Dishes boost various Science-based skills, and some Engineering-based skills, depending on the type of Deflector Dish.
See Deflector Dish for more information.
Secondary Deflector[edit | edit source]
Secondary Deflectors, like their Deflector Dish counterparts, boost various Science-based skills, depending on the type of Secondary Deflector.
See Secondary Deflector for more information.
Impulse Engines[edit | edit source]
Impulse Engines determine a starship's normal flight speed, turn rate, and full impulse speed, based on the base statistics of the ship it is equipped on. Different variants can provide different speeds depending on Engine Power.
See Impulse Engine for more information.
Shield Arrays[edit | edit source]
Ship Shields protect your starship against incoming attacks. Different shield variants have differences in capacities, regeneration, and how much damage they let through.
See Ship Shields for more information.
Ship Devices[edit | edit source]
Ship Devices allow for an ability to be operated independently of player and bridge abilities. These can be either consumable or permanent.
See Ship Device for more information.

Ship Weapons are the main offensive tools on a starship. They are divided into three categories: Energy Beam weapons, Energy Cannon Weapons and Kinetic.
See Ship Weapon for more information.
Consoles[edit | edit source]
Consoles are items that boost various ship systems and abilities. These are divided into 4 sub-categories.

- Engineering Consoles improves starship's performance capabilities, including bonus power output, damage resistance, and repair ability bonuses.
- Science Consoles improve Science-based skills, as well as shield performance.
- Universal Consoles have unique abilities to improve your ship performance
See Console for more information.
Carrier Pets[edit | edit source]
Carrier Pets are small, lightweight vessels that can be deployed from ships with hangar bays.
Most are extremely agile, and many have different roles, such as direct damage dealing, debuffing, or supporting friendly vessels. They operate in large numbers, but due to their weak shields and hull, they are easily dispatched.
Whist not individually controlled, players can dispatch orders and commands though the use of carrier commands, which is available on any ship capable of deploying carrier pets.
See Carrier Pets for more information.
