STO Guide

The latest update on Star Trek Online PvP:

PvP action with be revolved around Klingons mainly because their career progression basically relies upon PvP battles. It is a “viable advancement path” for Klingon and Federation players as Cryptic Studios mentioned in their latest article. Players will be able to engage in opposing factions or battle it out amongst the same faction, solo pvp or even team pvp. Moreover some PvP maps will have recognizable PvE missions to battle through.

Hearing that STO Klingons will be a brute forced PvP oriented faction, may actually disappoint the many Klingon’s fan base out there. Sure PvP could be really troublesome, especially when you got players desperate to go a killing spree and decides to shoot anything that moves. That could surely ruin your day if you get caught up in one of those no mercy battles. On the other hand, without PvP, MMORPG will be nothing more than grinding, farming, grinding, and farming. Where is the fun in that? This is purely my opinion, but there is much players can do but give feedback, hoping for a better improvement after the beta stages. Cryptic Studios has a history with adding tons of new features during the launch of the game, so I am pretty sure Klingon’s will win themselves a more well-rounded PvP and PvE gameplay.

Be sure to check out the upcoming STO guide on the latest updates for Star Trek Online PvP.

Star Trek Online is all about skills. Players go up the ranks as skills get maxed out. Thus as you climb up the each rank, you’ll also become more specialized in a smaller set of skills.

The question is, how are ranks obtain? Basically, players will have missions to complete. Along the process, skill points are earned with can be allocated to further strengthen skills.

In Star Trek Online, there are a total of 6 ranks. The STO ranks are as follows:

-Ensign
-Lieutenant
-Lieutenant Commander
-Commander
-Captain
-Admiral

The jump between STO ranks are referred to as promotions. In order to get a promotion, players would have to have used a certain number of skills. Ranking up in Star Trek Online could be seen as a form of leveling for this skill-based game.

Ranks provides a means to measure how far you’ve advanced your character. Like most other games, the items, equipment or other accessories would depend on how far you have maxed out your skills and your current rank.

The naming of the Star Trek Online ranks keeps itself very much in line with the popular movie series Star Trek and thus preserves its uniqueness.
