Leveling in STO Explained

0
0

I should first begin by saying there is no experience or levels in Star Trek Online. There are various ways for player progression and it’s not too different than what you can find in other games, but in Star Trek it’s basically just called differently.

In STO there are several ranks:

  • Ensign (only during the tutorial)
  • Lieutenant
  • Lieutenant Commander
  • Commander
  • Captain
  • Admiral

Each of these ranks also has ten so-called sub-ranks. You must attain all these sub-ranks to achieve the main ranks, which roughly means there are 50 levels in STO.

By doing missions (and some other ways like PvP) you gain skill points and based on how many you have you gain levels/ranks, so there’s no experience points either. Skill points can also be gained by doing Genesis missions (random exploration mission) as well as a number of PvE diplomacy missions.

You should use skill points for new skills and skill ranks as soon as you get them, as they improve your ground and space combat performance greatly for both you and your bridge officers.

There’s a lot of different questions and confusion lately about how leveling works in Star Trek Online so hopefully this post will clarify a few things for you. If you’re looking for a leveling guide, click here.
