New Quality of Life Improvements

We’re committed to making your experience smoother and more enjoyable with the following enhancements:

Menu Loading Times

Significantly reduced menu loading times by at least half, allowing you to navigate between different menus and bundles more quickly. The following menus have been affected by this change:

  • Faction store
  • Events section
  • Refinery 
  • Gifts section
  • Artifacts store
  • Officer store
  • Resources section
  • Alliance store
  • Consumables section
  • Offers store 
  • Territory store
  • Away teams store
  • Multiphasic store

Refinery Interface Enhancements

After mastering loops through the Independent Archives, refinery tabs with no remaining bundles will now be hidden, decluttering your interface and improving navigation. Archives that support this functionality:

  • USS Voyager
  • Monaveen
  • Vi’dar (through the Borg Tech section, after Talios has been mastered)
  • Vi’dar Talios (through the Borg Tech section)

You will notice that some bundles still persist in the USS Voyager and Borg Tech refineries, but the functionality is in place and we should be able to support it for future archives.

Daily/Weekly/Monthly Event Schedule Update

Starting Wednesday, December 4, Star Trek Fleet Command is updating its event schedule to provide a more consistent and rewarding experience for all commanders. A full outline of all of the changes can be found here.

These improvements are designed to enhance your overall gameplay experience by making progression and navigation more efficient. Find a full list of additional bug fixes and improvements at the end of the Patch Notes.


New Ship: The SS Revenant

Commanders, prepare to explore new frontiers with the SS Revenant, the first El-Aurian starship in both the Star Trek universe and Star Trek Fleet Command. This Epic Interceptor is designed to evolve alongside you, specializing in combating Q-Continuum hostiles across Continuum Space.

Overview

The new SS Revenant starship has arrived, ready to fight new armadas, earn Chaos Tech materials, and aid Commanders in their progression. Right out of the dock, the SS Revenant can fight the Assimilated El-Aurian hostiles effectively, greatly assisting you in collecting the materials needed for your daily refines of Chaos Tech upgrade materials. But in order to actually improve the ship, you’ll need to take on a challenge that only the SS Revenant is capable of: The Borg Type 03! These solo armadas are tricky, requiring that you fight them with only the SS Revenant and imposing a variety of other conditions. Selecting a crew wisely will be essential for defeating these armadas. The SS Revenant does a huge amount of damage to its preferred targets, but you’ll need to keep the ship alive while it does its work.

Passive Abilities:

  • Laid to Rest: This ability dramatically increases the SS Revenant’s base damage by an astonishing 80,000,000% when facing Q-Continuum Hostiles, whether they are Armada or Non-Armada threats. This makes the SS Revenant an unstoppable force in battle.
  • Phantom’s Tithe: Enhances the acquisition of Chaos Module resources starting at 500% when using the SS Revenant against formidable foes. This ensures you have ample resources to upgrade and maintain your fleet’s edge.
  • Third Passive Ability – Collective’s Bane: Disables the Cutting Beam weapon on the Borg Type 03 and Borg Polygon Armadas from firing at the player


Reach Shipyard Level 42 to add the SS Revenant to your fleet and progress through its 15 tiers to unlock new capabilities and rewards. The SS Revenant must be evolved at specific tiers and levels, otherwise you will not receive the coordinating rewards.

Ideal for tackling Borg Solo Armadas and Group Armadas, with enhanced efficiency and substantial resource payouts upon scrapping at specific tiers.

We previously released information about the SS Revenant’s tiers, crewing, and more in a separate blog and video. Be sure to check these out to ensure you’re getting the most out of Star Trek Fleet Command’s newest ship.
