From July 27th at 8am PT to August 2nd at 10am PT, everything in the Lobi Store will be 20% off! Not sure what to spend your hard earned Lobi on? Well, during this time period, you'll be able to exchange that Lobi for the Freedom Class Explotation Frigate!

Everyone needs a hobby, and for many, that hobby is retrofitting and flying antique starships – the more classic, the better! A recent incident where one such hobbyist from the future took their prized starship back in time to attempt to view the exploits of a certain prominent Admiral led to a confiscated starship.

The civilian-grade technology of the future is potent. The future tech the starship was outfitted with is comparable in effectiveness to current cutting-edge technology. The Temporal Affairs department has determined the tech won’t cause significant problems today. As a result, this starship has been made available for use.



Freedom-class Exploration Frigate [T6]

The Freedom Class has a classic look, but renovations from the future have made it up to speed with anything in the modern era. It contains powerful communications arrays to overwhelm enemy computer systems, and an enhanced landing system should it ever need to take to ground.

This Starship features a Lieutenant Commander Universal/Miracle Worker Station and a Lieutenant Commander Universal/Pilot Station.

Console – Universal – VHF Disruptive Transmission

The Freedom-class Exploration Frigate comes equipped with a VHF Disruptive Transmission. When activated, it will blast high frequency radio waves towards nearby foes, dealing significant electrical damage to them, especially smaller ones. Additionally, your ship’s maneuverability will increase significantly while this is active.

This console also provides a passive boost to Electrical Damage and Hull Capacity. It can be equipped in any console slot, on any ship. You may only equip one of these consoles.
Starship Trait – Smooth Landing

After achieving level 5 in the Freedom-class Exploration Frigate Starship Mastery, you will unlock the "Smooth Landing" Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, activating Evasive Maneuvers will apply Brace for Impact I to you, and activating Brace for Impact will apply Evasive Maneuvers to you.

Don't want this Freedom Exploitation Class ship, thanks. I've got enough as is.

I don't know that I'm going to put this one on my wish list, but it is nice to see another ship finally land in the Lobi store instead of yet another gamble box or "do I want to buy a ship or feed my family another week or two"-sized purchase decision. With the mega-event offering a big Lobi prize as an option that some people might start cashing out on as early as this Pavho-based event, it is something else for people to ponder.

I find it curious that they brought back the "Awakening" tag in the logo for this one. Had to consult the oracle of Google, but that was the Age of Discovery arc title screen from about 2 years ago now. Kind of curious if this was something they were planning to launch before the pandemic hit and just now are getting back to finishing it.

This one was a promo ship originally and it caught a lot of flak for it as everyone thought it should have been a lobi offering.

I thought it was just the content of the early 60s TV transmissions that made the galaxy hate humanity.

I'd pick this up if you can! It's a nippy little death machine.
