Commanders,

The fourth part of The Next Generation arc has just warped into the galaxy, and it is bringing some big news! Explore new ways of playing Star Trek Fleet Command thanks to Exocomp Consumables, a new feature that will give you the chance to employ different strategies in the game, from fighting, to mining, to exploration.

Introducing the fourth part of Star Trek: The Next Generation arc!

“Our objective is clear. We free Worf from the Cardassians, and then search for a way home.”

The crew of the Enterprise-D has been facing a barrage of attacks and attempted sabotage from the Cardassians at every turn, with the Empire working at the behest of the mysterious beings known as the Progenitors. While the crew have taken some hits, their spirit remains unbroken.

The remaining objectives are clear: break Worf free from the clutches of the Cardassians, and find a way back to their own universe. But they’ll face resistance every step of the way, with the Cardassians relentless in their attacks, and the Progenitors trying to stop any ships from travelling inter-dimensionally.

Rescuing Worf will be challenging enough, but can Picard and his crew find their way home? More importantly, is there even a way for the crew to get home?

“Our window to act is small, and getting smaller.”

The fourth part of Star Trek: The Next Generation in August includes: 

• New feature: Exocomp Consumables.
• New Officers: Troi and Worf.
• New TNG missions!
• A new Battle Pass.
• Five new Avatars.
• Five new Frames!
• New type of events.

Exocomp Consumables

This month, along with The Next Generation Part 4, we’re also launching a brand new feature previously mentioned in our Roadmap Update: Exocomp Consumables (aka Consumable Buffs)!

Players will be able to apply time limited Consumables to boost their capabilities for activities they wish to take in game. From mining, to building, to hunting.

Exocomp Consumables will provide players a way to increase their efficiency in how they want to take on their regular challenges.

A new building, the Exocomp Factory, will house the Exocomps, and will be required to unlock the feature.
Players level 16 and above will be able to access this building. As you upgrade the building, it will provide you with a free daily bundle of Axionic Chips, which are used to obtain Consumables, as well as providing more Exocomps (slots) so you can use more types of Consumables. 

Upgrading the Exocomp Factory also provides access to more powerful Consumables – 3* Consumables unlock at level 25, and 4* Consumables at level 40. Clicking the button above the building will also being you to the Consumables  Exocomp store tab, where you can claim and spend Axionic Chips.
You can read more about Exocomp Consumables on this dedicated page on our site!

New Missions

‘Our objective is clear. We free Worf from the Cardassians, and then search for a way home.’

Additionally there will be five missions focused on an exclusive TNG side story for players level 42+.

Gameplay Improvements – 4* Mining Nodes increased

After listening to players’ feedback, we have increased the number of 4* material mining nodes by 50%. Given that more players are reaching higher ops levels in our game, we found it important to give everyone in their enough space to mine.

Graphic improvement – Tokens and Rarity

Wherever we are showing tokens, you will now be able to see their grades and rarity. This applies to the buttons, the rewards, and header amounts. You can find some examples below:
