STFC: Gorn Hunters

Gorn Hunters were recently added to STFC, however, only Commanders level 40 and higher should attempt to vanquish them from the galaxy.

On Tuesday, 9 April 2024, Scopely released a major update for Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC). This update introduced a new building, new officers, new missions, various new cosmetics as well as new Refits, Forbidden Tech and Artifacts.

Commanders can now also encounter a new enemy, called the Gorn Hunters, while exploring the galaxy.

These hostiles deal Isolytic Damage and are immune to all non-Isolytic sources of damage, and if you defeat them, you will receive great rewards.

Scopely realized that player-versus-player is not for everyone and by introducing the Gorn Hunters to STFC, they want to provide players with a new way to use Isolytic Damage.

Commanders should also note that the new Gorn Hunters are part of the Isolytic Loop. This means that you will obtain Volatile Isomatter upon their destruction.

You can exchange this resource for a variety of rewards at the Isolytic Refinery, some of which include Officer Shards, Artifact Pieces and Grade Upgrade Materials, among other items.

Gorn Hunters’ abilities

Before starting a fight with a Gorn Hunter, we recommend that you consider their abilities. Although there are different levels of Gorn Hunters, they all have the same abilities.

This hostile type’s damage is increased by 50 percent for 5 rounds when they are fighting Explorer-type vessels.

We therefore advise Commanders not to use any Explorer vessels against these enemies as you are likely to lose the battle.

Which Officers should you use?

Even though you can use any crew combination to vanquish the Gorn Hunters, this is not recommended as you need to use a specific Isolytic crew to defeat them.

STFC Commanders should therefore use Enterprise-E Picard, Enterprise-E Data with Kathryn Janeway.

Players can use Neelix, Torres and Kin below deck, however, this is determined by your ship type to trigger the Artifact.

We advise Commanders to assign this crew combination to the Monaveen as it is quite powerful against the new Gorn Hunters.
