![]() The type of torpedo you use (if you want one at all) will ultimately depend on your own playstyle. I’ve seen players use specialty torpedoes such as the Omega Torpedo, Romulan Hyper-Plasma Torpedo, and Breen Cluster Torpedo. Using some of the harder hitting torpedoes to deal with these guys isn’t a bad idea. During shuttle missions, you will face off against some larger enemies in addition to small craft. All of the standard torpedo types can be used on your shuttle craft. Should you opt to use a torpedo in your secondary weapon slot, there are many great choices available. When it comes to shuttle content, all the damage and critical spikes in the world aren’t going to help you if you can?t hit anything. Personally, the beams that I use on my shuttles have no less than x2 on them. Because of this, I highly recommend using weapons with the mod on them. ![]() You’re going to be fighting a lot of small, very fast enemies during shuttle missions. The big thing to keep in mind when buying new weapons for your shuttle is the modifiers on the weapons. Likewise for fighters, ditch the shuttle cannons that they come with and get some big boy cannons. You will get far more bang for your buck by using those. Shuttles are very maneuverable so you can use a standard beam array with a 250 degree firing arc with no problems. The 360 degree beams that come stock on the shuttles are tempting to use, but the truth is you don’t really need them. Ditch the shuttle gear and use that gear instead. Shuttles are capable of equipping gear that can be used on full sized starships. It may be good enough to handle to single player missions such as The Vault or Operation Gamma, but it most certainly is not good enough to handle 5 man queue missions such as Atmosphere Assault. The stock equipment that comes on your shuttle or fighter is junk. There’s some prep we have to do before you can jump into the PVE queues. Alright, I’ve decided on the shuttle I want to fly and am ready to go! Now what? For a list of all the small craft available in game, their stats, and how to obtain them, see the link below: The type of craft that you use will depend on your individual playstyle. The Type-10 shuttle craft can only be obtained in the DS9 bundle.įinally, you get a free unique shuttle craft as a Veteran Reward for having a Life Time Subscription or from accumulated time with a standard subscription (applicable for all factions). The Tal’Kyr support craft, for example, can only be obtained when you buy the D’Kyr science vessel. ![]() Several can be found in bundled packs or on a larger ship. These can be bought and sold on the exchange, so you may be able to find one there. These may have special equipment on them that you cannot find elsewhere.Ī handful of shuttles can also be obtained in the Lobi store for 300 Lobi crystals. You can also buy shuttles and fighters from the C-Store for 500 Zen. You can buy these at the shipyard of your chosen faction. They don’t cost a whole lot so it shouldn’t be a problem to afford one of these. Instead, you can buy a better runabout type for Energy Credits. However, I do not recommend using the freebie shuttle as they have no Bridge Officer slots at all. Once you progress to a certain part in the story line (applicable for all factions) you will receive a free shuttle craft along with a free ship slot in order to use it. These fighters differ from shuttles in that they are even more maneuverable and have the ability to equip dual cannons. The game also features a handful of fighter craft. Although they aren’t as heavily armed as a starship, they are very fast and maneuverable. These small craft typically have 1-2 Bridge Officer stations and only two forward weapon slots. What is a shuttle and how are they used in game?Ī shuttle is a small craft that is used in mission content where a full sized starship is unnecessary or unable to be used. I’m going to start at the very beginning. ![]() I know that most of this is going to be common sense to most of the older vets, but I’ve seen enough people struggling with this to warrant a write up. So I’ve decided to write up a quick guide to hopefully help out those who still struggle with the shuttle content. ![]() Finishing a match with a full team is rare these days. Sometimes I get matches where my entire team spends most of the fight blowing up and respawning. They eventually get frustrated enough and leave the match. Nearly every match I run, at least one person blows up over and over and over and over again. However, I’ve noticed that people are having a hard time with the few missions that we do have. I know that right now there isn’t that much shuttle content in the game (as of this post). Star Trek Online Shuttles Guide by lan451 ![]() |
