Spire Featured Project #5
 

Star Trek Online Season 8 STO MMORPG F2P Sci-Fi MMO Game Legacy of Romulus

The discovery of the Solanae Dyson Sphere has provided a unique opportunity to fleets of all factions. The Romulan Republic is leading the Joint Command in charge of operations inside the Sphere, and they know that the Dyson Sphere is too immense for them to divert adequate resources for a full survey of it. As a result, Joint Command has started to assign liberated Spires to fleets in an effort to further exploratory efforts inside the Sphere.

Similar to Fleet Starbases, Embassies and Dilithium Mines, special projects will become available from time to time for a fleet’s Spire. Completion of these special projects will unlock new features to expand the functionality and appearance of your Spire. Be quick, though – when a special project becomes available, it will only be available for a limited time; you must start the project before the end of the feature. Once you’ve started the project, you can keep working on it until it’s finished, even if the special event ends. As with Starbases, Embassies and Dilithium Mines, you can only work on one special project at a time, so act fast!

Our next special featured project for the Fleet Spire is “Holo-Fleet.” Incursions in the Solanae Dyson Sphere have led to the need to make advancements to several ships classes of the Federation, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Republic. As the engineers working on these advancements are on assignment by Joint Command, these ships’ holo-schematics can be accessed in the various liberated Fleet Spires.

Completing this project will enable a holographic projector that displays the various starships that can be unlocked via progressing through the Spire fleet holding. Interacting with the projector will change which ship is displayed. This special project will be available from around 10AM PST this Thursday, January 9, until around when server maintenance starts on January 23, 2014 (or 7AM PST — whichever is earlier).
