You can get your own fleet of patrol ships, hanging out in the space around K-13.

    should probably just change it from "the _____ unlock" to "this unlock" for easier cut'n paste

    The one thing I'm wondering is what type of ships will be flying the exterior patrol once you unlock it. If we go off of the image that they showed with the announcement, they would be 23rd Century ships (TOS era), which to me would be odd story-wise, considering that K-13 was rediscovered in the 25th Century.

    Can we have stuff to test our characters abilities/weapons on?

    I.E.

    Maybe a firing range to test ground weapons / kit modules on ... or w/e the equivalent would be for a space firing range to test space stuff?

    This blog post is a bit of a mess, including the art since K-13 patrol ships will hopefully be modern.
    During our update later this year, players will be able to discover the fate of K-13

    Apparently I'm from the future, I've already played this episode! ;)

    They'll most likely be all TOS-era ships with not a single STO-era ship in sight, just like the officers aboard K-13 itself.

    You can argue that maybe the few modern federation officers present wear TOS uniforms to make the survivors more comfortable. Especially as they are apparently reviving the survivors in stages as your fleet buys them time allows.

    But ships don't make sense since the K-13 logs say that all they had was an impulse-only shuttle or two. By the 25th century there shouldn't even be flyable TOS ships left to take out of mothballs.

    You could argue that, though that implies there may be a project to change the uniform some day. Which I seriously doubt, K-13 is probably going to be an 'eternal TOS' thing that will never be allowed to fit into the modern era.

    Personally, I doubt Starfleet would make their officers wear the wrong uniforms when they're supposed to be helping the newbies adapt to the present rather than regress into the past. More likely it would just be the TOS crew dressed that way unless a TOS officer is in command that can't let go of the past.

    TOS ships wouldn't make sense, but the STO Devs never cared about making sense before.
