![]() Bridge officers will only be able to use the number of abilities corresponding to the rank of the station, even if they hold a higher rank.īridge officers form your captain's away team when you enter a ground map. Only Bridge Officers of the correct career can be assigned to a career-specific bridge station "universal stations" can be occupied by any of the three career paths, but not in combination with a specialization. In most cases, each bridge station requires a specific career and rank. The "Stations" tab of the Status Window Space įor space combat, bridge officers can be assigned to specific stations (i.e., seats) on the player's ship. Using specialization-specific space abilities requires a playable starship with the respective station slot. An active specialization gives access to four specific ground, and four specific space abilities, which may then be slotted for that particular BOff. One specialization may be active per Bridge Officer at once. The ability to craft these manuals is unlocked once a player character has spent 10 points in a given specialization. While only having access to four abilities in space/ground combat at once, a Bridge Officer can be trained in (i.e., add to his selection pool) all abilities existing for his/her career path, if the player acquires all the required Training Manuals.īridge Officers can be trained in a specialization by using a special type of Training Manual called a "Specialization Qualification". Training an officer requires a Training Manual (consumed in the process) for the desired ability and costs expertise (amount increases with the number of abilities the BOff already possesses). The Bridge Officer skills and abilities menuīridge Officers can be trained in new skills, i.e., their pool of available clickable abilities can be increased. Training See additional article: List of Training Manuals craftable by captain Players can only promote an officer to a rank below themselves therefore a player at the rank of Commander can only promote bridge officers to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Note that some very rare special bridge officers will always display a Starfleet/KDF rank, even for Romulan Republic players, who might thus have a BOff with the rank "Commander" (= Subcommander).īridge Officers are promoted by clicking the Career Options button at the bottom of an officer's status page and selecting the "Promote" option a dialogue box will be opened with details of the promotion. 4 abilities - Commander / Subcommander / Second.3 abilities - Lieutenant Commander / Centurion / Third - 3,600.2 abilities - Lieutenant / Fourth - 2,300.1 ability - Ensign / Warrior / Citizen / Fifth - 1,100.A promotion also costs a small amount of expertise : A player can promote a BOff up to one rank below his/her own (up to (Sub-)Commander). A Bridge Officer's rank determines her/his number of abilities (sometimes referred to as "Bridge Officer skills") in ground and space combat. Like the player character, Bridge Officers have ranks. Promotions and abilities See also: Bridge officer and kit abilities Potencies are determined by the BOff's quality/ rarity: Most BOff species have between one and up to four required traits, i.e., traits a specific species will always have.Ī specific property of BOff traits are their three potencies: Like player character traits, most of these grant benefits for the individual officer in ground combat, while few also buff the entire away team or give a bonus in space combat. ![]() Traits See additional article: Bridge Officer traitsīridge Officers have four traits which cannot be changed. The species of a BOff can have an impact on the Bridge Officer traits. The career path of a BOff (Tactical, Engineering, Science plus an optional specialization) determines which pool of abilities they have access to and which ship station they can occupy. Like with player characters, the gender of a Bridge officer is purely cosmetic and has no gameplay effect (except for Orions). ![]()
