Posted Fri, Jan 27, 2012 by Martuk

Earlier this week Star Trek Online Executive Producer Stephen D’Angelo briefed players on the latest ship in the Federation fleet – the Odyssey class. In his latest developer diary, D’Angelo offers a new brief on its klingon counterpart – the Bortas class starship.

The Bortas is usable by klingon players at the rank of Lt. General and contains 4 fore and 4 aft weapon slots, 4 device slots and 4 Tactical and Engineering slots along with 1 science slot. Additionally, the Bortas ship contains bridge officer slots for 1 Lieutenant Tactical, 1 Commander Engineering, 1 Lieutenant Science, 1 Ensign Universal and 1 Lieutenant Commander Universal.

Both ships will be available to players through Star Trek Online’s second anniversary event. Check out the full developer diary for all the details about the klingon Bortas class starship.

So they finally give us a Klink ship with a Lt.Com slot that can be used with a Tac, but they gimp the turn rate so bad that it's worthless. Witch means you will only ever see this with beam arrays, and we all know how well that looks on Klink ships !

The Odyssey is not much better though :(
