Star Trek Online: Two New Playable Races Announced

After yesterday’s launch of Star Trek Online, the Cryptic Store has opened its doors to players and is starting business with the sale of two new playable races for the game.

Fans may now add a Federation Klingon and a Federation Ferengi to their list of playable races when making a character in STO. Each with their own racial benefits, both may be purchased with Cryptic Points. Klingons will set players back by 240 points whereas the Ferengi are a third of the price; only 80 points. This means both can be picked up for around £2.00 GBP in total. Points can be purchased directly from Cryptic.

Klingon benefits: Warrior (5% improvement to Ranged Weapon Damage, 10% percent improvement to Physical Melee Damage, 10% improvement to Critical Severity) and Honorable (5% resistance to all damage, 10% improvement to Threat Rating) traits. They may choose two additional traits.

Ferengi benefits: Natural Immunities (40% resistance to Toxic Damage, 40% resistance to Radiation Damage) and Acute Senses (20% improvement to Stealth Sight, 10% bonus to Exploit Damage) traits. They may choose two additional traits.
