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 20,000 and 4 , so long as the player's Fleet has a Tier IV Shipyard and one Starbase Military Fleet Ship Provision. If the player already owns the Prometheus Multi-Vector Advanced Escort from the Zen Store, the Fleet Ship Module cost is reduced to 1.
Overview[ | ]
The vessel is small, and less accommodating for extensive engineering or science facilities. The Fleet Hephaestus Advanced Escort (T5)'s weaponry, speed and maneuverability, though, make it a hard-to-hit threat in any engagement.
The Fleet Hephaestus Advanced Escort (T5) is also able to use the [Console - Universal - Multi-Vector Assault Module] that is obtained from the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort. This ship does not come with one standard.
Class variants
Class | Information |
---|---|
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Prometheus class is one of the most versatile ships ever designed by Starfleet. Intended for combat, the original prototype USS Prometheus employed a multi-vector assault mode; the ship divides into three semi-autonomous sections capable of fighting independently from each other. Each section is also capable of achieving warp speed. According to the Star Trek Online ship description, the multi-vector aspect was removed due to moving parts that were easy to damage. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Phoenix class resembles earlier Starfleet designs that opt for a more dome-like saucer section and a shorter base. The nacelles are also the shortest but significantly wider. Its very nimble and efficient design may allay initial fears as a warship but it's essentially a wolf in sheep's clothing that's just as capable as other Prometheus variants. This is the default starship class of the Mirror Universe Patrol Escort. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free Unlike other Starfleet ships designed for exploration with defense as a secondary concern, the Cerberus is primarily a warship. While it resembles the experimental (and slightly larger) USS Prometheus, that doesn't mean it's not an impressive warship. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free with this starship OR Fleet Hephaestus Advanced Escort (T6), 20,000 , 5 The Hephaestus class is more angular than other Advanced Escort designs, dominated by straight lines and sharp edges. Its saucer has a sharp "nose" and small fins link the hull to the ventral surface. This class was previously available as an extra ship skin in the Zen Store, but as of Season 7 is exclusive to the Fleet Advanced Escorts. Players who purchased the skin prior to the Season 7 update may still use the Hephaestus skin on any Advanced Escorts they own. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Hestia Advanced Escort, 3000 The Tier 6 Hestia-class Advanced Escort is a heavily modified version of the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort. It has been refitted to take advantage of the Multi-Vector capabilities of its predecessor. The Hestia-class Advanced Escort is the pinnacle of tactical starship design. | |
