Star Trek Online: Bridge Crew & Officers

No Star Trek ship, whether Federation, Klingon or Romulan, would be complete without a bridge crew and junior officers. Find out how they affect play below:

Crew

The nameless men and women on a captain's ship are represented with the Crew statistic. They're the "red shirts" that take care of the litany of tasks captains and Bridge Officers don't have time or will to do, like repairing damaged subsystems or hull damage, repelling boarding parties, joining on boarding parties (which, if successful, damage an opponent's subsystems), and so on. Players won't be able to interact with their crew on a daily basis, but their status will be visible, so captains won't have to worry about getting caught off-guard if their crew isn't in tip-top shape.

Bridge Officers (Ships)

Bridge Officers play a key role in how any ship performs. The player can assign his Officers to specific stations on a given ship. These stations can be Science, Tactical or Engineering stations, and ships of different type favor stations of a specific type, as well. Science ships focus their stations on Science, Escort ships on Tactical and Cruisers on Engineering. The more advanced the ship, the larger number of Bridge Officer stations there are (generally).
