Fleet starbase Made by NGTV ™ " Why do we need starbase?" Plan is that starbase offers regular meeting place for its fleet members. To achieve that we need to fill it with all facilities we use regularly(bank, exchange, doff contacts etc.). The other bonuses include special(not otherwise obtainable) weaponry , equipment and ships which members can purchase for dilithium and fleet credits(more about that below).  Also pretty convenient is that transwarping to starbase keeps your previous location and returning to sector space returns to that location. So unloading on exchange or rearming doesn't require to fly different corner of the universe. Starbase projects To open up all possibilites of starbase we need to contribute to starbase projects. Click on Ctrl+G(fleet screen) and check "Holdings" tab.  Projects are split into 2 groups "Starbase projects" and "Starbase special projects".   "Starbase projects" gro...

We have a bunch of new players in the fleet and I've seen several players ask questions about skills in the chat.  I thought it would be useful to do an overview of the skills available. Where you spend your skill points are the most important decisions you’ll make as you level up through the game.  You only get so many skills points to spend, there are nowhere near enough to do everything you want, and it costs c-points to change your selections.  It is therefore very important that you plan ahead and spend your points judiciously.  Focus on the first three ranks of the skills you want first before moving on to the next three and final three, as the diminishing returns after 3 and 6 points are severe. I find that ground combat is more difficult than space combat, so I would assign points to most of the ground skills except Threat Control. I’ve summarized the various space captain skills by captain rank with my opinions below.  As always, I am not a do...

We have a lot of brand new players joining the fleet, with a lot of questions.  I remember when I started playing this game, I spent a lot of time confused and overwhelmed and I also made a lot of mistakes that cost me c-points to correct, and more importantly, cost me some fun along the way.  So I'm taking it upon myself to enlighten and inform to make your STO experience more enjoyable.  I'm not a doctor, I don't play one on TV, so my advice isn't gospel.  Think of it as a starting point. Help, I’m Stuck! I'll start off with the second most embarrassing and frustrating little thing in the game: you've beamed down to Starfleet Academy and the beam out button is greyed out now you can't leave?  How do you get out? Well, at Starfleet Academy the beam out button is actually a conversation button located at the lower right of the screen. The Exchange The Exchange is available in most starbases. It is essentially a Craigslist where players can post...
