Star Trek Online Gives Players a Taste of Failure with the Kobayashi Maru
The Kobayashi Maru is probably the most infamous test in all of Star Trek. And now, the "original no-win" scenario is coming to Star Trek Online! This weekend, until October 2nd, players can take on both timed and untimed version of the Kobayashi Maru test - trying to protect the vessel while taking on hordes of enemies. Like every horde mode, it will ultimately become too difficult to clear, but the longer a player manages to survive, the greater the rewards - with some rare ones such as dilithium ore!
Additionally, players who take on the Kobayashi Maru for three days out of the event's duration will receive a special reward...
The Universal Console Reiterative Structural Capacitor. This technology was designed with survivability in mind. While not a sure fire way to avoid impending structural failure, this capacitor packs the reiterative properties to sustain oneself when under moderate to high damage bombardment.
The Kobayashi Maru test is now live on Star Trek Online. Check out the patch notes here, which include a number of fixes, and a free weekend store to pick up various parts and items! Good luck on the Kobayashi Maru, pilots.
