The free shuttle in question is the Type 7, most commonly seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is a nice upgrade over the default shuttle that the game gives you for small craft missions, sporting a device slot and two forward weapon slots. And if you don’t mind mixing up the eras, you can pilot this shuttle wearing the new Star Trek Discovery uniform, which is the first piece of content from the current TV series to make its way into the game.
Star Trek Online also changed up its featured mission rewards for Melting Pot with a “Preeminent Deflector” that apparently synergizes well with shield output. Could be useful!
