Commanders,

Engage!

Today, there’s nowhere in the Alpha Quadrant where you can find more excitement. Star Trek: The Next Generation is here. We now begin an extended arc that embraces the iconic timeline of the Star Trek franchise. Join this long-term mission through undiscovered systems, with new content: officers, refits, events and much more.

This month, along with The Next Generation, we’re also launching a brand new feature previously mentioned in our Roadmap Update: Away Teams!

Introducing Star Trek: The Next Generation!

“I know that I am Lieutenant Commander Data of the Federation starship Enterprise. But I do not know how I ended up here, or what happened to the ship.”

A strange encounter leads you to a discovery: the crash site of a Starfleet ship from a parallel universe: the USS Enterprise-D. Something terrible has happened, leaving its crew scattered across the galaxy, with no method of communication, and no way to return. The only one left on board is the android known as Data.

It quickly becomes apparent that something terrible has occurred. While Data doesn’t recall what happened upon the ship’s arrival, the damage and ruin left in its wake points to a calculated and malicious attack. Something or someone did not want the Enterprise crew in this galaxy.

And with the crew stuck on unfamiliar planets, and possibly in danger, it’s up to you to find them. Reunite the crew of the Enterprise. Can you solve the mystery of their arrival, and the events leading up to the crash?

The first part of Star Trek: The Next Generation in May includes: 

• Away Teams feature
• New Officers Epic Data, Rare Beverly, Epic Geordi.
• New cadets Officers Data, Beverly, La Forge, Troi, Riker.
• Twenty TNG missions
• New Battle Pass
• New Events
• Ten new Avatars
• Eleven new Frames

New Feature: Away Teams

The Away Teams feature allows you to dispatch officers who are not assigned to ships to assignments across the Galaxy! Make sure that you have the right officers for the assignment at hand. When an Away Team is successful, they bring back unique rewards!

• The Shuttle Bay is the new building that unlocks access to the Away Teams feature:
  • The building has two buffs that will upgrade as you level it up:
    • A weapon damage buff to all starships
    • A cost efficiency buff for the Away Teams research tree
  • On launch day, the Station research required to build the building and also the building itself will require a Shuttle Bay Particle to unlock. These two required particles will be freely distributed in Gift chests to all players level 8+.
• Away Team assignments can be Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic, with higher rarities giving greater rewards.  Common and Uncommon are free to start, while Rare and Epic require ‘Star Chart’ tokens that are earned by completing less challenging Away Team assignments.
• Away Team assignments can take up to a couple of hours or even several days to complete. However, assignments can be sped up using a new ‘Away Team Assignment Speed Ups’ resource
• Assignments that you do not undertake (in other words, those that are not currently in-progress) will be automatically refreshed every 12 hours. You can also manually refresh them at any time using a new resource ‘Assignment Refresh Tokens.’
• Away Teams brings with it a new research tree containing 71 nodes to unlock using ‘Service Awards’ and ‘Merits of Honor’ that you will earn by completing assignments successfully. 

You can read more about Away Teams on this dedicated page on our site!

Improvement – NPC Portraits

Our hard working Rigellian is finally getting some well deserved time off. We’ve improved on our NPC portraits for mission objectives, and now you will be able to see the correct opponent for the enemy you are targeting.

Additional Improvements

• Archived missions are now accessed through the mission panel through a dedicated button at the bottom of your missions list. The old ‘Archived’ tab has been replaced with the new Away Teams tab.
• Added support for links inside event objective tooltips. Stay tuned for this in future events, where for example you can just tap a link inside the event description or objective and directly go to an event system.
• Officers can now be sorted in Alphabetical order.
