Welcome, cadet...

Welcome to the beginner's Basics Guide, the first of many guides for players of Star Trek Online (STO). This guide shall serve as a launching pad for all players who are new to the game or just want to know more about the basics of STO.

They released this new update today, and players like us, are having problems to download this patch using autoupdate. We need to download a manual update patch, otherwise we will need to try again, using autoupdate, when everyone is sleeping. [EDIT]: Well, a generous fellow over at the LoversLab forums has graciously supplied me with a download; I'll link it here in case anyone else wants to check. If you don't currently play Star Trek Online, it is FREE to play! If you do currently play, then enjoy the new patch! New nude patches online grouting 1.

Player character[edit | edit source]

On the character creation screen you can choose your faction & race (left) as well as your career path (right).

Main article: Player character.

The game is centred around your player character. Character creations with you choosing your faction, career path and race which combined determine certain elements of your characters appearance, abilities and story.

Each faction presents you with its own storyline, own set of playable species and ships, as well as faction-specific social hubs.
The three career paths (Engineering, Science and Tactical) roughly define certain abilities and side quests but otherwise do not restrict you from corresponding ship choices.
Your race, the selection of which is determined by your faction choice, offer certain trait options that give passive bonuses or a special ability.

Traits[edit | edit source]

Traits are mostly passive bonuses that can be activated by assigning them to slots. Picking your race (or choosing to create your own custom race) automatically means picking one specific non-customizable racial trait (or creating one for your custom alien). Also, three additional race-typical traits are assigned to each preset race, however, these can be customized once you are in-game (see image on the right). As you level your character up, two additional personal trait slots (1 space, 1 ground) become available every 10 levels, so each player has a total of 18 (9 ground, 9 space) customizable personal traits and one fixed racial trait at level 60 (the Reputation System grants further traits from level 50 onwards; more information on the trait-article).

Levels & Ranks[edit | edit source]

Main article: Rank.

Your character progresses through different levels by accumulating Experience Points, just like many other MMORPGs. However, each bracket of 10 levels also comprises a rank (Ensign & Lieutenant counted as one rank). At each level, a character gains rewards and Skill Points (explained below). Furthermore, new tiers of starships are opened up to each new rank.

Levels	Starship Tier	Rank	Rank	Rank	Rank	Rank ^[1]	Experience points
0	Tier 1	Cadet	Lieutenant Junior Grade	Warrior	Citizen	Fifth	0
1	Tier 1	Lieutenant				Fourth	6,500
10	Tier 2	Lieutenant Commander			Centurion	Third	33,500
20	Tier 3	Commander			Subcommander	Second	93,500
30	Tier 4	Captain			Commander	First	173,500
40	Tier 5	Rear Admiral, Lower Half		Brigadier General	Subadmiral I	Master First	263,500
45	Tier 5	Rear Admiral, Upper Half		Major General	Subadmiral II	Senior First	313,500
50	Tier 5-U Tier 6	Vice Admiral		Lieutenant General	Vice Admiral	Elite First	366,000
55		Admiral		General	Admiral	Revered First	428,500
60		Fleet Admiral		Dahar Master	Fleet Admiral	Honored First	491,000
65				Dahar Master	Fleet Admiral	Honored First	578,500

↑Jem'Hadar captains begin at level 60. NPCs and Bridge Officers use these rank names, and they appear in the rank progression reward list.

Note: Additionally and independently from your military rank you can gain commendation ranks as part of the Duty officer system.

Abilities[edit | edit source]

Abilities are the actions that you and your bridge officers can take in combat. There are both space and ground abilities. You gain access to abilities in various ways:

Players will learn a few new abilities as they rank up. The majority of ground abilities available to players, however, will be based on the kit modules you have equipped.
Your starship's abilities are determined by your bridge officers - their space abilities and the rank of the station you assigned to them. A Commander-rank bridge officer at an Ensign station will only be able to use his/her Ensign ability, regardless of the officer's actual rank.
Bridge officers can learn new abilities using the Training Manuals sold by the Bridge Officer Trainers.

Skills & Specializations[edit | edit source]

Skills in Star Trek Online are comparable to 'talents' in other games and are distributed as your character gains skill points while leveling up.

Skills (comparable to 'talents' in other games) are unlocked at level 5 and increase the effectiveness of abilities and/or improve certain base stats, e.g., critical hit chance or hit points.

Skills are separated into two major groups: Space & Ground. Space skills are subgrouped into 'Tactical', 'Engineering ', and 'Science'; ground skills into 'Weapon', 'Health and Armor', 'Personal Shields', and 'Kit'. Every player, regardless of the career path, can access any skill.

Space skills have five levels (Lieutenant, Lt. Commander, Commander, Captain, and Admiral), which require 0, 5, 15, 25, and 35 spent 'space points' to be accessed, respectively. In total, there are 90 space skills and a level 50 player will have 46 space points to spend (one every level from 5-50). Ground skills have no such hierarchical order. In total, there are 20 ground skills and a level 50 player will have 10 ground points to spend (one every 2 levels from 5-50).

At level 50, the skill system is maxed out and players begin to earn points that can be spent in the Captain Specialization system. This is a very similar, talent tree-like system, but it is not capped at a certain maximum number of spent points, but instead allows players to keep earning specialization points indefinitely.

Bridge Officers[edit | edit source]

See main article: Bridge Officer

In Star Trek Online, your character can be assisted in ground combat by an away team of up to four computer-controlled Bridge Officers (comparable to 'pets' of other games and with up to four ground-abilities per officer). In space combat, Bridge Officers (or 'BOffs') bring with them most of the abilities you can use (up to four space abilities per officer).

Interface[edit | edit source]

The user interface during ground combat

The user interface in sector space

The user interface (often simply referred to as UI) is the method by which information is presented to the player and the player interacts with the game itself. The design of the UI is now loosely based on the LCARS computer interface seen in the Star Trek shows and originally created by Mike Okuda. Although the general layout remains identical, each faction has its own design with a set of different color schemes available for all players.

Controls[edit | edit source]

See also: Key binds, Guide: Keybinds, Joystick control setup

This is a very basic guide to the initial controls of the game, both in flight and ground modes, and also a couple of 'tricks' to help you along the way.

Please Note The following key mappings are true for the Windows English keyboard layout. Other OSes or language layouts may vary.

The game has two basic playing modes:

Ground: See also: Ground combat

This is where your character is in person on the screen either in friendly territory such as a starbase or in enemy territory such as a ship or planet.

Key	Action
W	Run Forward
Shift + W	Sprint Forward
S	Run Backward
A	Turn Left
D	Turn Right
Q	Strafe Left
E	Strafe Right
R	Toggle Auto Move Forward
F	Interact with an object near to you, such as a person, crate or turbolift

Space: See also: Space combat

This is where you are guiding your ship through either open space or within a star system

Key	Action
Q	Decrease flight speed
E	Increase flight speed
R	Toggle full speed
Shift+ R	Toggle Full Impulse
A	Bank Left
D	Bank Right
W	Nose down
S	Nose Up
F	Interact with an object near to you, such as an anomaly, or accept a prompt

Player abilities[edit | edit source]

See also: Player abilities

On the screen in either mode are controls for actions that your character can perform. In ground mode you will be shown your weapon's main action (normal 'fire') and other possible actions such as 'Exploit attacks'. These each have a number to the top left of their control, and can be activated by pressing the corresponding key on your keyboard (1 through 0)

You can have up to four rows of controls on screen at any one time in both ground and space modes, to set these click the icon to the top right of the control module that looks like three stacked playing cards. This brings up a control that allows you to select between one and four rows of controls.

On the left hand end of these rows is a number between 1 and 10 with up and down arrows. These allow you to set up your own configurations and scroll between available controls.

What do A, C and Sh mean?

These are the methods of using that control on the keyboard

A = ALT,C = CTRL,Sh = Shift.

Bridge Officer abilities[edit | edit source]

See also: Bridge Officer abilities

Each Bridge officer has training in different capabilities allowing them to vastly change the basic setup of your ship, be it by adding extra power to your next phaser shot or healing your shields mid-combat.

The initial play setup gives you a row of icons below your main ability section, showing the face and abilities of each of your bridge officers. When you start the game each officer will only have one ability, but as you progress through the game the number and class of abilities increase (you can also train your officers either through your own abilities, additional bridge officers or at certain starbases).

These action icons will generally have 'A' and a number in their action boxes. To control with the keyboard hold the ALT key and press the appropriate number.

Remember, when purchasing a new ship, set the bridge officers! Also you might try to remember to keep them as trained and as promoted as possible to increase their additional abilities.

Moving Controls[edit | edit source]

The game has a funny habit of moving your controls around, especially when you gain new abilities, even as far as new weapons!

To stop your firing actions, heals, buffs and debuffs being all over the place you can move the controls around as you wish them to be. Just do this when not in a combat area to avoid some blushes and much muttering of 'Where did my phasers go!?'

To move a control, drag it with the right mouse button from where it currently resides to your required location. This can be within or across action bar rows (see above). After you have your actions set up the way you want them, you can click a checkbox that locks your action bars to prevent your abilities from being moved around or from accidental removal altogether.

Advanced control setup[edit | edit source]

All of the key mappings and controls can be adjusted and moved around the screen using the controls in the option menu. To manually adjust the placement of monitor panels and controls, click the game options icon to the right of the minimap and select the top HUD option, then drag the corresponding green boxes to your convenience.

Luckily, they also have a reset function!
