Posted this morning on the Star Trek Online Blog: the Krenim Science Ship
Lootcritter: My initial impression is WOW. For a free* ship this looks like a lot of fun. All the benefits of a science ship (sensor analysis, subsystem targeting, shield bonus), and enough flexibility for a variety of builds with decent tactical capability.
But of course, I’m heavily biased towards any science ship;)
During Star Trek Online’s 6th Anniversary event you will be able to obtain 6th Anniversary Prize Vouchers by participating in the event. These 6th Anniversary Prize Vouchers can be spent on an Event Reputation project to obtain the Krenim Science Vessel! This project requires 1000 6th Anniversary Prize Vouchers.
The Krenim Science Vessel bridges the gap between the Krenim Imperium Warship and the Krenim Annorax Science Dreadnought. It is quite large and slow to maneuver, unlike most science vessels. It does, however, boast a sturdier hull and incredibly powerful shield emitters.
This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Tactical/Intel specialist seat.

Console – Universal – Timeline Stabilizer
The Krenim Science Vessel comes equipped with the Timeline Stabilizer universal console. Activating this console will stabilize any temporal anomalies around your starship. This has the side effect of briefly increasing the flow of time within and around your starship. Enemies affected by this console will suffer a penalty to their recharge times, flight speed and turn rate. Your starship will receive a boost to both recharge times and weapon activation times, per affected foe.
This console also provides a passive reduction to all Science Bridge Officer abilities.
This console may be equipped on any starship.
Improved Feedback Pulse (Starship Trait)
After achieving level 5 in the Krenim Science Vessel starship mastery, you will unlock the Improved Feedback Pulse Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, Feedback Pulse will deal additional damage and each time you are hit while Feedback Pulse is active you will gain a buff that boosts your Critical Hit Chance and Critical Severity. This buff stacks up to 10 times.
This starship also comes with the Krenim Bridge.
NOTE: The above stats and systems are subject to change. The box that the ship comes in, which cannot be opened until the opening player has the minimum rank listed above, is bound upon pickup.
