The ECS Horizon is a grade 3 Common Survey ship for Independent players in Star Trek Fleet Command, and its whole job is mining dilithium. The ship ability raises your dilithium mining rate as the vessel levels up, so it earns its keep parked on a node rather than in a fight. You unlock the build at Shipyard level 26. For an early ship, it is a dependable second dilithium hauler that carries you well into the mid-game.<\/p>\n

To build it you need 40 Horizon blueprints and the Unlock Horizon research. This guide covers both, plus the Dilithium Mining Laser ability, stats, tier-by-tier costs, dilithium crews, scrap rewards and how the Horizon compares with the U.S.S. Antares.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to get the ECS Horizon<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Horizon is built at your Shipyard, not bought as a hull. You need 40 blueprints and the “Unlock Horizon” research before the build becomes available, and your Shipyard has to be at level 26. The build itself costs 800,000 Tritanium and 28,000 Dilithium, and it takes 10 days and 5 hours to finish. Blueprint offers rotate over time, so plan around the build requirement rather than one fixed source.<\/p>\n

<\/span>ECS Horizon ability<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ship ability is Dilithium Mining Laser, and it increases the mining rate of dilithium. It starts at 15% at ship level 1 and climbs to 200% at level 45, so the higher you level the hull, the faster it strips a dilithium node. Ship abilities are always active, which means the bonus applies the moment the Horizon latches onto a node with no button to press. Because the bonus is tied to ship level, leveling the Horizon matters more than tiering it if raw mining speed is your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The last five levels add the most: the bonus jumps from 145% at level 40 to 200% at level 45. See the Dilithium<\/a> guide for where to mine it.<\/p>\n

<\/span>ECS Horizon active ability<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Horizon also has a player-triggered ability called Automated Defenses. It increases the combat effectiveness of the mining ship while it is attached to a mining node, which gives an otherwise defenseless survey some teeth against players who try to knock it off dilithium. You turn it on while mining; it is meant to make the ship costly to attack rather than to send it hunting.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Werte und Stufen<\/span><\/h2>\n

Base values are shown below; research, buffs, and officers raise them in play. The Horizon has nine tiers, and these three rows anchor the low, middle, and top of that range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The cargo hold is the number that matters for a miner: it grows from 105,000 at tier 1 to 280,000 at tier 9, with a small slice of that held as protected cargo that survives an attack. The hull HP stays flat while the shield does the scaling, so most of the Horizon’s survivability rides on its shield. Base mining speed rises from 6.5 at tier 1 to 8.75 at tier 5 and 15.5 at tier 9.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Waffen und Feuermuster<\/span><\/h2>\n

Warm-up is the round a weapon first fires, and cool-down is how many rounds pass between shots after that. The Horizon carries a single energy weapon, its Phaser Turret, so it is not built to trade blows with a warship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

On top of the seats, the ship adds a bonus to the attack, defense, and health of the officers you crew on it. The three stats step up on an identical ladder, so one column covers all three. The bonus climbs as the summed officer stats on the bridge rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Crew for the ECS Horizon<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because the Horizon is a dedicated dilithium miner, the bridge you want is a mining bridge: officers that raise mining speed and add protected cargo so an attacker walks away with less of your haul. If you lean on Automated Defenses to hold a contested node, defensive officers that improve survivability start to matter too, but the default build is pure mining. Officer picks shift with the meta, so check the current Officer Tier List<\/a> for the mining crews players are running now.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Best crews for ECS Horizon<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dilithium<\/h3>\n

Captain:<\/strong> Domitia<\/a>
Offizier:<\/strong> One of Eleven<\/a>
Offizier:<\/strong> T'Pring<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the crew that matches the ship’s own ability. Domitia’s captain maneuver raises the Dilithium mining rate, stacking with Dilithium Mining Laser, and both One of Eleven and T’Pring raise protected cargo through their officer abilities, so more of the haul survives a raid.<\/p>\n

The crystal, gas and ore crews work on the Horizon, but its ship ability only boosts Dilithium, so on those nodes you are relying on the officers alone.<\/p>\n

<\/span>ECS Horizon vs U.S.S. Antares<\/span><\/h2>\n

Both are grade 3 survey ships<\/a>, and players often weigh one against the other. The Horizon is the Dilithium specialist and the cheaper, earlier build. The U.S.S. Antares<\/a> is a Rare Federation survey with its own mining-laser ability for a different resource, and it costs a lot more to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If Dilithium is what you are short on, the Horizon is the pick. If you need the 3\u2605 resource the Antares targets, build that one instead; the two do not compete for the same nodes.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The ECS Horizon in Star Trek<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Horizon comes straight out of Star Trek: Enterprise. It was a J-class Earth Cargo Service freighter, one of the slow, pre-warp and low-warp haulers that kept early-22nd-century Earth colonies supplied before Starfleet had a real presence in deep space. The ship is best known as the Mayweather family vessel: Travis Mayweather, helmsman of the NX-01 Enterprise, was a “space boomer” who grew up aboard the Horizon, and the episode named for the ship brings him home to it after his father’s death. In the game it keeps that identity as a working freighter repurposed for mining.<\/p>\n

The game has other Boomer ships too: the ECS Fortunate<\/a> und die North Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n
