Multi-Mission Science Vessel

s, often abbreviated "MSSV", are sub-type of Science Vessel. They have good all-round performance compared to escorts and cruisers, and have their weaker hulls compensated for by stronger shields. Science vessels are typically deployed in research and exploration missions, but are also effective in combat using powerful buffs, debuffs, and shield healing abilities, in addition to integrated sub-system targeting.

Like standard Science Vessels, s have weaker hulls and stronger shields, gaining a 30% bonus to shield strength over Cruisers of the same tier. All s have 3 device slots and gain a bonus +15 auxiliary power. They share the same and  abilities as standard Science Vessels, as well as sharing the same Starship Mastery package and ability to equip a Secondary Deflector, but also have a hangar bay capable of launching hangar pets, and possess the ability to equip Dual Cannons.

Similar to s are Science Dreadnoughts, which possess an addition weapon slot.

Starfleet Multi-Mission Explorers


Starfleet's first Multi-Mission Explorer, the Vesta class Multi-Mission Surveillance Explorer entered service in 2380. Since then, these ships have more than proven themselves in combat and exploration alike. This variant is the more Science orientated of the three vessels, with five Science console slots and a high turn rate, this ship is capable of dealing impressive exotic damage and abilities.

Named after the Vesta class vessel, the Aventine class Multi-Mission Reconnaissance Explorer has a sharper saucer and its pylons are angled forward. These features give the ship a more sleek profile than the original Vesta. This variant is the more Tactically focussed of the three vessels, capable of dealing impressive damage for a Science Vessel.

The Rademaker class Multi-Mission Strategic Explorer is a loose hybrid between the Vesta and Aventine classes, sporting a more oval saucer and the largest nacelles. The shuttle bay launch area is wider and illuminated. This variant is the Engineering variant of the three vessels, allowing it to survive for an extended period of time.
