Update 54 – Voyager pt.1 Patch Notes

By gabriel 9 May 2023

According to markings on the probe’s outer casing, it appears to originate from a Starfleet vessel bearing the registry NCC-74656…”

The discovery of a lost Federation probe marks the beginning of a journey almost 70,000 lightyears in the making. Adrift in the farthest reaches of the Delta Quadrant, the crew of the USS Voyager have spent the last several years on a steady course for home, all the while searching for a means to expedite their perilous journey. When a chance encounter with Progenitor technology creates a gateway back to the Alpha Quadrant, a potential way back home makes itself known. However, this discovery will pull Voyager and her crew into the midst of a conflict stoked by foes old and new…

Although fraught with countless unfathomable dangers, the uncharted regions of the Delta Quadrant also present boundless opportunities for exploration. Aspiring pathfinders and collectors daring enough to venture into this strange, new place will find the rarest treasures and artifacts. Nonetheless, for those foolish enough to venture where they do not belong, this place may be their tomb.

“Captain… How interesting that our paths should cross again. I never would have anticipated that such an imperfect being would give rise to such a perfect opportunity.”

We are excited to introduce Voyager Part 1 to Star Trek Fleet Command. Voyager Part 1 brings with it a variety of new features, including:

  • A new region of space, the Delta Quadrant
  • The Artifact Gallery
  • Formation Armadas
  • Two new officers
  • New missions
  • And much more

Artifact Gallery

This update brings with it a new building: The Artifact Gallery. The Artifact Gallery provides a new type of power buff progression via new items: Artifacts and is available for Operations Level 26 and above. Artifact unlocks, and upgrades are dependent on the Artifact Gallery Building Level, so players will want to get them working in both directions!

Upgrade your artifacts to unlock powerful effects that will give your fleet an edge. Unlock and unleash the power behind artifacts, and see how they combine together to create your ultimate fleet!

Formation Armadas

A new type of armada challenge is here and ready for players to conquer! Gather your strongest allies to fight Species 8472 and earn artifacts. Working together, three groups must coordinate to take on formation armadas, defeat all three targets simultaneously to get maximum loot and earn artifact pieces.

Formation Armadas will have you and other Commanders, operations level 26 and higher, from all over the system working together to defeat three nodes simultaneously. These nodes can be targeted not only by your own Alliance members but also alongside any other Alliance in the system. These Species 8472 targets will require you and other Commanders to work together, communicate, and strategize as a team to come out victorious.

Using the new Formation Armada Directives, you can start an attack on one of the three Armada targets surrounding the core of the Armada. Up to three additional members from your alliance can join you in the attack to defeat that node.

Here’s how it works:

By defeating a singular node, the Commander that started the attack will receive a Leader’s Chest, and everyone that took part in destroying the node will receive rewards.

If an alliance, or multiple alliances, wants to destroy all three nodes, then there will need to be three Commanders starting an attack at each of the three nodes.

If a Commander begins the attack on one node, and the rest of the fleet arrives a few minutes later to begin their attacks, the attack timers for the nodes will automatically sync to the time the first attack was initiated.

By defeating all three nodes and destroying the core, you will not only receive the rewards from defeating the Armada, but you will also receive “Artifact Shards”, which can be used to acquire and upgrade new artifacts.

Delta Quadrant

The Delta quadrant is a massive, sprawling unknown space for you to make your own, filled with new systems to explore, new missions to go on, with both new and old enemies to destroy, along with entirely new Formation Armadas for you to team up with your alliance and take down Species 8472.

But that’s just the beginning! Join us over the course of this Voyager Arc as we dive deep into the Delta Quadrant and face all the perils it holds–and who knows, we may even meet some familiar friendly faces out there.

There are two entry points to start your exploration this month:
