The crew of the USS Cerritos is back with new friends, challenges, and dragons to face. From metal rock bands to kidnapped queens, you’ll face a variety of unforgettable adventures. With our second Lower Decks arc now here, this month kicks things off with:

• New ship: the Monaveen
• New officers
• New Missions
• And much more

Check out the full patch notes below for all of the details.

The Monaveen

The Monaveen is an economy-focused ship that is available starting at level 40. This Hysperian Battleship focuses on providing Commanders with resource and material benefits, as well as a research tree that offers fleet-wide advantages.

After unlocking the Monaveen, you can head on over to the new Texas-class systems next to Federation space. Here, you can battle Texas-class ships to collect loot, which can then be exchanged in the Monaveen’s refinery for Queen’s Favors, Monaveen-related items, or Shipyard Directives.

These directives can be used to challenge new Solo Armadas called Automated Shipyards, which drop Shipyard Credits upon being defeated. Once you have sufficient Queen’s Favors or Shipyard Credits, you can trade them in for a bounty of resources or materials, respectively, in the Refinery.

It’s important to note that attacking a Texas-class hostile directly will force you to lower your peace shield, and you will receive a notification similar to the one seen when engaging PvP. However, revenge hostiles spawn when you are in these systems, and having one target your ship will not cause you to drop your shield.

The optimal approach requires strategic decision-making. Commanders must decide whether to directly attack the Texas-class and lower their shields to defeat them at a faster pace, or have revenge hostiles target them, keeping their station protected but slowing their pace. The choice is yours, Commanders.

New Officers

This month, we have not one, but three epic officers warping into the galaxy. First up is Carol Freeman, the proud Captain of the USS Cerritos (and mother of Beckett Mariner). Next, her confident first officer, Commander Jack Ransom. And last but not least, the brilliant Chief Engineer (and Prince of Hysperia) Andy Billups.
