Starship chart?

spidermitch0 · October 2017

So the irony of this question does not escape me, but is there a resource out there that shows all playable ships? I may be getting back into the game, and the plethora of new ships seems overwhelming. It was this lack of a Cryptic-provided resource which first spurned me into making those ship tier charts back in the first few years of this game. After talking to a colleague about the game, I pulled up the wiki and only found a large list of each craft with stats. The links to each ship only generally bring up a reference pictures, and doesn't do alot for comparison...

I remember at one point Starfish taking on a starship comparison chart, but it doesn't look to be up to date (and maybe my search skills aren't finding the most recent). It also looks like Suricatta is absent from the game now too, so I'm not sure if there's someone else that's stepped up to make something I can't find...

Does anyone have any links to resources available that shows pictures of all playable ships?

You'll be wanting to go here:

Whilst it's not always perfectly up to date it's a pretty decent list of all the playable stuff in the game. There are comparisons for most ships there with similar craft too.

As already stated the sto.gamepedia.com is stocked-full of good information.

There's also this, very well done, that another player created awhile back: http://thephoenixdivision.com/ships.html

For getting a look at ships in the C-Store or Fleet Stores one of the easiest is to use the Shipyard, where you can spin the ship around and see at least some of the variants via the drop down at the top. Note that the window is re-sizable. It's faction locked, so you have to switch chars to be able to see all ships in a multi-faction pack (besides the 31st Century one).

That won't help for ships outside those two categories, like lockbox, Event, etc. ships, though. If there's a specific one you're interested in, probably the best bet is to look it up on Youtube. ZEFilms has most all of the ships, and even sometimes does videos with Cryptic's support.

STOunrefined and Timber Wolf also have very good reviews of visuals and powers for recently released ships. Check them out.

Very cool resources. Thanks guys! Hopefully this will help when trying to figure out what to spend all that Zen stuff on. Been banking it for a while as a lifetimer.
