Star Trek Online Science

Science ships in Star Trek Online are like the buffers or healers in other games. Their goal is to provide support to their allies when in combat. Whereas the other two ships have a lot of firepower, the Science ships do not. Instead, they rely on enemy weaknesses to deal damage.

When bundled with other ships, the Cruisers and Escorts would probably love to have you around.

Primary Role : Their primary role is fleet support, aiding their allies, and battle controlling (through both buffing allies and debuffing enemies).

Special Benefits : They have advanced shields, innate subsystem targeting, innate cloak detection, and bonuses to their auxilary power.
