Nope. It seems to have some pretty spammy missile batteries though. It also comes with a stupid "I WIN" button. It is also ugly.

It has a Phaser Lance(or equivalent)?

The D'Kora's special abilities are apparently considerably more effectual than Phaser Lance, but yes.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
The D'Kora is, actually, legitimately awesome if you manage to get it.

I've fought it, and it is very, VERY impressive.  Can easily take on 2:1 odds, and can hold it's own against 3:1.  After that, it can die.

Tips for fighting:  Do NOT follow directly behind it.  That EMP burst is nasty.  At the same time, it can only hit a very narrow range behind it, so dodge to the side and it'll probably miss you entirely.  You're a sitting duck if it hits you though, worse when the ship dumps warp plasma at the same time.

That burst fire will take down your shields if you don't reinforce them quickly, but that's not the real danger.  The real danger is the missile barrage that comes afterwards.  It can and will take down a ship with 40k hull very, VERY quickly.

It's very tanky, but fights more like an escort.

Also, the bridge is stupid small for some reason.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
I have seen text messages of a player getting a D'kora every five minutes. Well, I'm almost Captain, I want my Enterprise ship! :p
A small voice in my head tells me they are have followed us here in the Milky Way. They follow us until we are dead at their feet. We are nomands of the stars, no longer the race that was loved by the Great Elders. My name is Kyral and this is my story of survival.

There is no sanctuary for us, in this Universe. We will fight the Terror for one last time on this Shining World. May the Transcendent judge us kindly in the Life Stream.

You'll continue to see them until the lockbox thing is gone.  It'll be VERY annoying.

There is an option that disables those announcements in the Options menu.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
I just had the most fun battle in Kithomer Accord Space STF (Elite).

The team cleared the gates and Donatra showed up. We pummled her a bit, and once her rear shield fell into red, I buffed up and lanced her in the ass..for 2x 30K damage.
She didn't take it well...for the rest of hte mission she was after me constantly. Whenever she cloacked and decloaked, I was in the center of her fire cone for the super-weapon. When the weapon fired, she'd turn and try to hit me. Ignoring everyone else. She'd go after me even after I left her weapons range. And fired everything at me..
My evasive manouvers and engine batteries were in constant use, as were all of my healing and buffing abilities. She nearly got me twice.
In the end, when her health dropped low, I charged her head-on, using every buff I had as I powered trough torpedo spreads and cannon fire (thank god for reverse shield polarity!) and lanced her again right in the nose.
Assimilate THIS!
BOOOOM


Fun. So much for borg not being emotional.....

HAHa..it happened again. 
 Donatra hates me so much her rage carries on to each mission.

Of course, now I make it a priority to lance her in her posterior every time.
