Commanders,

With Star Trek Fleet Command Update 50 now live, Fleet Commanders are at everyone’s disposal Operations level 15 and up! Unlike the officers that work aboard your ships, Fleet Commanders provide powerful buffs from the new Command Center building located in your station. Each Fleet Commander has their own unique set of abilities, and choosing the right ones for you will be crucial in taking on the new threats throughout the system.

Ready to Lead

You can earn your first Fleet Commander, either Kirk or Spock, by completing the mission “Legends of the Cosmos”. Each Fleet Commander provides unique benefits when on duty which can be viewed from the Command Center building on your station, so be sure to take a look at their abilities before choosing!

Commanding from Afar

Once a Fleet Commander is unlocked, you’ll want to go back to your Commander Center and set them on duty. In the beginning, only one Fleet Commander can be active at a time, but by upgrading the Commander Center, you’ll be able to have two Fleet Commanders working in tandem. Fleet Commanders can be changed once every six hours, and when switched, all ships must be recalled to receive the buffs and benefits of that new Fleet Commander. Be sure to have a Fleet Commander in command that is going to be the most beneficial for the activity that you’re choosing.

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations

Each Fleet Commander has three different skill trees which can be upgraded to provide benefits to your active ships, construction and research. While Commanders can have all of the trees upgraded over time, rows of skills that are clustered together (the orange border with dark background around the skill icons) can only have one selected.As Fleet Commanders will grow in experience and leadership, they will become more versatile with new on duty and always active abilities. Switching between certain grouped abilities will become possible in a future update.

Skill points can be redeemed for specific Fleet Commanders through the Refinery.
