Wargaming.net :
31st October - Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the world’s leading naval battle MMO World of Warships, is once again teaming up with Paramount Pictures to bring the next phase of its Star Trek collaboration with World of Warships. In the latest epic journey through the Final Frontier, three new Operations are sailing into the game, offering players the opportunity to engage in interstellar battles on the high seas in World of Warships. Jam-packed with rewards, players can discover new camouflages, ships and four more iconic Commanders ready to take the helm into warp speed.
Following a scientific gathering on the planet Vulcan - which sees the brightest minds across the Federation, Vulcans, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Star Empire coming together - the infamous Borg Collective uses this moment to launch a devastating attack. To fight back, players can dive into three new Operations, starting from October 30th and running for two weeks each until mid-December. For these Operations, players can helm ships from each of the factions, equipped with fan-favourite commanders, including Picard, Spock, Sela and Gowron.
Defeat the Borg Collective across ever-evolving Operations
At the start of the event, three ships will be available for the duration of the Operations, including a destroyer, cruiser, and battleship, with a fourth aircraft carrier, the U.S.S Enterprise-D available to unlock as players make their way through the new Reward Track. Alongside unlocking the iconic Grey Ghost in these Operations, for a limited time players will be able to purchase U.S.S Enterprise using doubloons. As they progress, players can unlock module upgrades and Star Trek tokens, to upgrade ships even further. Dropping anchor in the all-new Star Trek-themed port, players will be able to keep track of their progress and upgrade their vessels and unlock battle bonuses as they complete an iconic Star Trek memorabilia themed collection.
All Operation-specific ships will begin with basic-level modules that can be upgraded through the Reward Track, and each will be host to four slots, capable of holding different modules, such as primary and secondary weapons, hulls and shields. By experimenting with different combinations, players can discover new ways to boost their ship’s stats, bonus effects and armaments, to build the ultimate vessel for enemy destruction. To further embrace the spirit of Star Trek, each Operation also equips the ships with newly added weapons and shields, allowing players to fight back the Borg using a variety of phasers, and photon torpedoes.
Following the arrival of fan favourite Star Trek characters and camouflages earlier this year, the latest wave also introduces four new iconic character Commanders. Joining the fray are Starfleet’s Riker for Pan-Asian Tier I cruiser Chengan, Starfleet’s Janeway for American Tier X cruiser Salem, the Borg Queen for Japanese Tier X battleship Yamato, and finally, the Klingon Worf, for French Tier I cruiser Bougainville. In addition, two new permanent camouflages are also available, with the inclusion of the Borg skin for Yamato and the USS Voyager skin for Salem.
