Guest Blog: STO Reinforcements Duty Officer Pack

Star Trek Online senior systems designer Geoff “Heretic” Tuffli reveals details about the new Reinforcements Duty Officer Pack in this entry of the STO Season 6 News Dev Blog series.

Since the Duty Officer system was unveiled, we have experimented with a couple of different ways of expanding the system. Some of these ideas included new species, new active roster abilities, Ultra-Rare Duty Officers, new traits, mixtures of random and set Duty Officers, and Duty Officers bundled with bonus items. From that time, we have learned a lot, both about what works and what does not. The Reinforcements Duty Officer Pack is an effort to bring together some of these lessons and evolve them even further.

In particular, one idea we wanted to revive was the idea of including things other than Duty Officers in a pack. The Duty Officer system itself deals with a large number of items that act both as inputs and outputs, and we wanted to reflect that in this design. More info on that in a bit.

The Reinforcements Pack includes the same breakdown as previous packs: one Blue quality or better, two Green quality or better and four White quality or better. These new Duty Officers come from existing species. For Federation players, this means Human, Andorian, Vulcan, Tellarite, Caitian and Betazoid (the last was in order to put more Telepathic Duty Officers into the hands of Federation players to balance out the KDF Ferasan advantage). For Klingon players, this means Klingon, Orion, Gorn, Nausicaan, Lethean and Ferasan.

All of these Duty Officers are of existing specializations, but they all have alternate active roster abilities. In all, thirteen new active roster powers for eleven specializations have been created. In particular, we expect the new Energy Weapons Officer and new Flight Deck Officer active roster abilities to draw a lot of attention, as well as a non-career specific Security Officer variant active roster power and the return of the now-defunct EMH power, this time on Nurses and Medics.

Beyond these, we will also be introducing - separate from the Reinforcements Pack - standard active roster abilities for many non-Civilian duty officer specializations that never had active roster abilities. Existing Botanists, Biologists, Geologists and Research Lab Scientists will be gaining active roster abilities of their own when Season 6 launches. The new Duty Officers are only the beginning of the new Reinforcements Pack, however.

The alternate active roster abilities include:

•    Deflector Officer

o    Chance to reflect damage while using Polarize Hull

•    Flight Deck Officer (Variant 1)

o    Increase Carrier Defense while in Recall Mode

•    Flight Deck Officer (Variant 2)

o    Increase Fighter Accuracy while in Intercept Mode

•    Flight Deck Officer (Variant 3)

o    Increase Fighter Damage while in Escort Mode

•    Tractor Beam Officer

o    Drains -10 Engine Subsystem Energy with Tractor Beam Repulsors

•    Doctor

o    Triage and Medical Tricorder can trigger a second heal

•    Geologist

o    Create a Gravity Well effect on ground when using Gravimetric Shift

•    Gravimetric Scientist

o    Create an aftershock Tyken's Rift (same functionality as existing Gravity Well aftershock)

•    Nurse/Medic

o    Increased Crew Recovery when crew is <75%

•    Assault Squad Officer

o    Extra Team Heal and AOE Rez on Rally Cry

•    Energy Weapons Officer (Variant 1)

o    Reduce recharge time on Cannon Rapid Fire and Cannon Volley

•    Energy Weapons Officer (Variant 2)

o    Reduce recharge time on Beam Overload and Fire at Will

•    Security Officer

o    Increase melee Crit Chance and Crit Severity (ground)

In addition to any Duty Officers you receive, you also will get one (1) of the following special bonus prizes:

•    A stack of Gamma Quadrant commodities (which will be in high demand with the new Fleet Advancement and Starbase system)

•    A stack of Gamma Quadrant consumable devices (new devices based on the Gamma Quadrant commodities)

•    An Alien Artifact (available in both "Powered" and "Unpowered" versions)

•    A random Mk XII Very Rare Console

•    or the jackpot prize… a Tuffli Class Freighter Ship Pack

The new Freighter isn't intended for combat, though it actually is functional at that for the earliest part of your captain's career. It can be switched to from your regular ship like a shuttle and is crammed with every Duty Officer system special we could think of. You can buy commodities at merchant ship rates from the interior, it has a Bank, access to the Exchange, a Mail console, Crafting, a Trader with additional Trade Duty Officer assignments, and can even periodically call a Security Ship for Contraband, Tribble Bounty and Prisoner Exchange turn-ins. Here is some more detailed information about this freighter:

Tuffli Class Freighter

Freighters and Transports are large vessels designed for trade and long range cargo hauling. Almost all space-faring races utilize Freighters, and designs created by Ferengi and Cardassian corporations have become standard throughout the quadrant. The Tuffli Class Freighter is arguably the best vessel for managing Duty Officer Assignments, trade, cargo acquisition and transport, and other related commendation tasks.

The Tuffli Class Freighter interior has a number of amenities including a Trade Duty Officer Assignment contact, which is not standard on most starships. Both you and your allies can access the Trader.

Also assigned to the Freighter interior is a Quartermaster. The Quartermaster can sell you and your allies commodities at a discounted rate. A similar discount applies when you make any Energy Credit Purchase while onboard your ship (for instance, from Sector Space Freighter Stores). The interior also include access to the Bank, Exchange, Mail, and Crafting, all of which are accessible to you and your allies.

The Tuffli Class Freighter has access to a secure subspace channel to call in a Security Transport ship. The Security Transport will allow you to access Prisoner Transfer and Contraband Assignments. The Security Transport is not a combat support vessel, and can only be called when in Sector Space. It is accessible to you and your allies.

Finally, the Tuffli Class Freighter comes with a Transwarp Drive that will allow you to access the furthest corners of the quadrant. The Transwarp Drive will allow you to instantly access most Exploration Clusters. Note, like many older Transwarp drives, the Freighter's Transwarp has a small chance to fail.

Tuffli Class Freighters are not designed as combat vessels. They come with minimal armaments designed only to ward off pirates and other would-be threats.

Note: You can switch to your Freighter from any ship interior. Once you're done using it, switch back to any ship from the Freighter interior.

The Reinforcements Pack represents a new level of investment from the Star Trek Online team to the Duty Officer system, and we sincerely hope you enjoy this pack as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. It will be available in the C-Store starting on Friday. We’ll see you in-game!

The Sagan Command Cruiser

By Ambassador Kael | Thu 11 Aug 2022 09:00:00 AM PDT

Introducing a stalwart defender of the Federation, a capable fleet command vessel, and the lynchpin of a major defensive operation that saved the lives of billions with the help of a peaceful splinter group from within a ruthless enemy faction – the Sagan Command Cruiser [T6]!

From August 16 th to September 9th on PC, we will be running a promotion that will provide an additional bonus when opening newly-purchased Research and Development Packs, or Duty Officer Packs.

** Promotion dates for Console platforms will be announced at a later date.

During this promotion, when you purchase a participating R&D or Duty Officer Pack from the Z-Store and open it, you will receive either 10 Lobi Crystals or a Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack in addition to the normal contents of whichever Pack was opened.

Additional details about the participating Packs will be included at the end of this announcement.

We are excited to announce a brand new addition to the impressive list of Tier 6 Starships that are included in this Promotional Ship Pack: the Sagan Command Cruiser [T6]!

Sagan Command Cruiser [T6]

The Sagan -class was recently commissioned as a candidate to serve as a flagship for the Federation. Although it did not end up serving such a vaunted position, no one can deny that it could be capable of doing so if necessary. From hardened supplemental subsystems, to powerful communication array integration, this class is a veritable command center with nacelles. The first of its line was commissioned the U.S.S. Stargazer , in honor of the first ship commanded by the celebrated Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. It has continued to live up to its lofty expectations at every step of the way.

This Starship features a Commander Engineering / Command Station and a Lt Commander Science / Temporal Operative Station.

Admiralty Stats

• Special: +6 SCI per Any Ship

Console - Universal – Harmonized Shield Barrier

This specialized set of emitters are hard-wired for fleet-wide coordination and deployment. Activation causes a shield barrier to form ahead of the ship, blocking enemy fire. Additional nearby allied starships will contribute to strengthening this barrier, causing it to grow over time to shield more and more of the space behind it.

This console additionally provides a passive bonus to Starship Shield Hardness skill and Starship Shield Regeneration skill.

This console may be equipped on any ship in any console slot.

• Create a Harmonized Shield Barrier 1km ahead of your ship for 45 sec
• Harmonized Shield Barrier starts at 2km radius and Expands by 0.5km every 5 sec (4km max) per Allied Starship behind the Shield and within 5km
• Foes in Front of the Shield are Taunted
• Allies Behind the Shield gain Increased Damage Resistance Rating

Starship Trait – Reverberant Shielding

Activating any rank of Feedback Pulse will trigger the effects of Reverse Shield Polarity, while activating any rank of Reverse Shield Polarity will trigger the effects of Feedback Pulse. Each triggered effect will be as effective as the opposite Bridge Officer Ability of the same rank. These triggered effects both last 15 seconds, and do not cause additional triggers of their own. They also do not cause any external cooldowns, nor have lockouts of their own.

• Activating any rank of Feedback Pulse grants the effects of Reverse Shield Polarity at the same rank
• Activating any rank of Reverse Shield Polarity grants the effects of Feedback Pulse at the same rank

Infinity Update

The player fortunate enough to win this ship pack will be presented with a choice of claiming a package containing this exciting new starship, or any one of the following ships:

The Special Requisition Pack - 23rd Century Tier 6 Ship opens into one of the ships below, depending on faction:

There are even more ships you could win, like:

Note:  Only Packs purchased during this promotion will offer the chance to win the  Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack .

Starship Sundays: Tuffli Freighter

Welcome to Starship Sunday, presenting a new spaceframe for the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game, filling in some gaps until official material can be released. This week is the Tuffli and Groumall freighters, continuing the detailing of civilian ships for groups that are not playing Starfleet officers.  

This is a more rough and tumble freighter, found in the Alpha quadrant and not designed by Starfleet. While these might be seen in Federation space, they’re not a Federation design and the crew might be more mixed. As the ship might not be owned and operated by Federation citizens, money can be more of a driving factor for the crew (and the campaign). This is a good ship for people wanting to use the Star Trek setting to tell very different stories, with more traditional and selfish motives from their protagonists. As there are Cardassian military variants of this freighter, it might also see use by pirates, who take advantage of its inoffensive appearance to get closer to targets before striking.

• VisualEditor
• View history

The [ Nimbus Pirate Distress Call ] is a Unique re-usable Ship Device , which summons three support vessels: a Tuffli -class freighter , a Breen Chel Grett -class Cruiser and an Orion Corsair -class Flight Deck Carrier for a short period of time. It does not need to be equipped in a device slot and can be activated from the player's inventory via the powers tray. The device is one of the rewards from completing the “Installation 18” mission. It can only be activated while in combat .

Detailed Information [ | ]

This device is a distress call beacon that will call in a strike team of Pirate vessels from the groups that roam Nimbus space. These ship captains will not risk their lives on your behalf for very long though, and will leave the area after 45 sec [1] whether you require further assistance or not!

Notes [ | ]

• It can only be activated while in combat, with a 5 minute recharge time. It activates a 2 minute shared cooldown on Fleet Support , and other reinforcement beacons.
• When initially released as part of the Legacy of Romulus on May 21, 2013, the [ Nimbus Pirate Distress Call ] summoned a Hirogen Hunter Escort vessel, which had the Subnucleonic Beam ability. This ability was unintentional [2] and the Hirogen ship was later replaced by the Orion Corsair -class Flight Deck Carrier on January 30, 2014 [3] . In addition, the device originally could be used by players in shuttles. Starting on February 6, 2014, the device is no longer accessible from the powers list while players are in a shuttle [4] .
• The summoned ships actually remain for 45 seconds, even though the tooltip full item description do not reflect this correctly.
• The device does not need to be equipped to use. As long as the item is in the player's inventory, the ability can be added to the tray and used in combat.

A Talarian freighter

In starship classification , freighters , cargo ships , cargo carriers , or cargo vessels were starship types designed to carry cargo , in much the same way transports carried passengers. A bulk freighter was a ship that carried bulk dry goods, comparable to how a tanker carried bulk liquid or gas goods.

The most noticeable feature of freighters were their large cargo bays . Furthermore, they were usually equipped with light armament to defend against pirates and oncoming asteroids .

One of Doctor Phlox 's first assignments was examining a cargo ship orbiting Denobula , which had suffered an explosion with many casualties . ( ENT : " Fight or Flight ")

Some freighters used by the Federation during the 2260s were limited to warp 2 . ( TOS : " Friday's Child ")

Also during the 23rd century , the Federation was known to operate several automated designs, including robot ore freighters and grain ships . These vessels were essentially flying cargo holds that possessed no life support systems . ( TOS : " The Ultimate Computer "; TAS : " More Tribbles, More Troubles ")

Manned vessels, both of the 23rd and 24th centuries , were often used for transporting more valuable cargo, such as deuridium or dilithium crystals. ( TAS : " The Pirates of Orion "; DS9 : " The Passenger ")

In 2286 , Doctor McCoy believed he and the crew of the former USS Enterprise would be reduced to working a freighter, as punishment for violating Starfleet regulations, while in fact en route to the USS Enterprise -A . ( Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home )

While discussing his service history with Captain Jean-Luc Picard , Captain Montgomery Scott noted that in his lifetime he had "served aboard eleven ships ," including "freighters, cruisers , [and] starships." ( TNG : " Relics ")

Due to its proximity to the Cardassian Union and the Bajoran wormhole , many freighters docked at Deep Space 9 . ( Star Trek: Deep Space Nine )

Many times, these vessels travel in convoys , which sometimes allowed them to be more or less susceptible to alien attack. ( TOS : " Errand of Mercy ") In those cases, they may be accompanied by an escort .

In 2374 , the USS Defiant assisted in escorting and protecting Convoy PQ-1 to the Vegan system during the Dominion War . ( DS9 : " Image in the Sand ", " The Sound of Her Voice ")
