The U.S.S. Mayflower is a grade 3 Uncommon Federation Explorer that unlocks at Shipyard level 26. Its Klingon Pursuer ability points it at one job: extra weapon damage against Klingon ships. That makes it a specialist grinder for Klingon hostiles and a useful hull in Klingon-faction fights at the mid game. It is a stepping-stone Explorer rather than an endgame ship, but the anti-Klingon bonus gives it a clear reason to sit in your dock.
How to get the U.S.S. Mayflower
The Mayflower needs 80 blueprints and a Shipyard at level 26 before you can build it. The Federation faction store is the main blueprint source, and a run of Federation storyline missions hands out roughly 32 of the blueprints between them, so you can chip away at the total without buying every piece. Once you have the blueprints, the build costs 890,000 Tritanium, 42,500 Dilithium, and 500 3★ Common Refined Gas, and takes 12 days and 22 hours to finish. The ship becomes scrappable once your Operations reaches level 34, so you can feed it back for parts later.
U.S.S. Mayflower ability
The Mayflower’s ship ability is Klingon Pursuer: its weapon damage rises by 30% against Klingon ships at level 1, scaling up to 120% by level 45. Ship abilities are always active, so the bonus applies the moment you send it against a Klingon target. In play this is a ship you park in Klingon space, aim at Klingon hostiles, or bring to a Klingon-faction PvP scrap where that damage bump does real work. Against any other faction the ability does nothing, so match the hull to the target.
U.S.S. Mayflower active ability
The Mayflower also has an active, player-triggered ability called Relentless Assault, which you unlock through a refit. When you fire it, it raises the ship’s base damage against hostiles and armadas for the hit, and the bonus climbs from 2000% at its first rank to 3000% at its highest as you upgrade it. Because it runs on a cooldown, you save it for the moment it counts, usually the opening rounds of a hostile or armada run where the extra damage shortens the fight.
Stats and tiers
Base values below come from the current game data; research, buffs, and officers raise them in play.
| Tier | Warp (speed / range) | Impulse | Cargo (protected) | Shield HP | Hull HP | Health (displayed) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 / 24 | 100 | 10,000 (230) | 22,930 | 4,350 | 13,640 |
| 5 | 3.4 / 33 | 100 | 22,970 (280) | 45,239 | 4,350 | 24,794.5 |
| 9 | 3.8 / 50 | 100 | 60,000 (450) | 58,770 | 4,350 | 31,560 |
Weapons and firing pattern
Warm-up is the round a weapon first fires, and cool-down is how many rounds pass between shots after that. The Mayflower carries three energy weapons: two phaser banks and a heavier prototype phaser array that fires twice.
| Weapon | Type | Shots | Warm-up | Cool-down | Damage | Crit chance | Crit damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phaser bank | Energy | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5,652–6,908 | 10% | 150% |
| Phaser bank | Energy | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5,652–6,908 | 10% | 150% |
| Prototype phaser array | Energy | 2 | 2 | 2 | 7,159–8,750 | 10% | 150% |
Crew slots and officer bonus
The Mayflower opens officer slots as it levels, reaching a full bridge of five by ship level 40.
| Ship level | Officer slots |
|---|---|
| 5 | 1 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 20 | 3 |
| 30 | 4 |
| 40 | 5 |
The ship also boosts your officers’ own stats, stepping up a ladder as it progresses. Attack, defense, and health all use the same values, so one figure covers all three.
| Amount | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 120 | 30% |
| 240 | 60% |
| 390 | 90% |
| 540 | 120% |
| 720 | 150% |
| 960 | 180% |
| 1,320 | 210% |
| 1,800 | 240% |
| 2,400 | 270% |
| 3,600 | 300% |
U.S.S. Mayflower refits
The Mayflower has one refit worth planning for.
| Refit | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mayflower Relentless Assault | Unlocks the Relentless Assault active ability. Requires a level 26 Armory and 60 shards. The unlocked ability adds from 2000% to 3000% base damage against hostiles and armadas as you rank it up. |
Crew for the U.S.S. Mayflower
Because the whole point of this Explorer is weapon damage against Klingon ships, build the bridge around damage. A captain whose ability lifts weapon damage, backed by officers that add more damage or punish the enemy for firing, gets the most out of the Klingon Pursuer bonus. Keep the survey-hull cargo in mind too: the Mayflower is a combat Explorer, so lean into offense rather than mining officers here. Crews shift with the meta, so check the Officer Tier List for current picks before you commit shards.
The U.S.S. Mayflower in Star Trek
The Mayflower class is largely a game-original design tied to the Kelvin timeline rather than a ship with much screen history. In the game’s own telling, the streamlined Mayflower was built for speed, with extra-long nacelles mounted under the saucer to help it scout planets from low orbit. The vessel that gave the class its name, the U.S.S. Mayflower, was destroyed by Nero’s Narada in 2258, though the game notes that many of its sister ships still serve. Treat its story as game lore rather than established canon.

Is the U.S.S. Mayflower worth it?
For a grade 3 Explorer, the Mayflower earns its spot if you spend time in Klingon space. The Klingon Pursuer bonus makes it a solid pick for grinding Klingon hostiles at its band, and the Relentless Assault refit adds burst for hostile and armada runs. It is a narrow specialist, not an all-rounder, and it scraps at Operations 34, so treat it as a ship you use hard and then recycle. Chase it if the anti-Klingon niche fits how you play.
