Duty officers and optimal traits

diaspar161

Hello! I've recently started playing STO after many years, and was quickly overwhelmed with so many new duty officers and lots of assignments. In order to help myself (and hopefully others), I typed up a small excel table with duty officer specializations and which traits usually benefit them and their assignments. The idea was that since there are so many random officers and a limited amount of space for them -> then if I knew which traits are useful, I could keep/buy useful ones and sell/downgrade less useful ones. I got the traits by checking assignments in-game, what kind of officer they require and which traits increase or lower the success chance.

The table has 4 sheets, each sheet's name tells you which types of officers you'll find in there. Traits are colour-coded, so that green traits = boosts success chance on assignments, red = lowers success chance, and yellow = both positive and negative. Yellow traits are extremely assignment specific, but it's very worthwhile to have a couple of officers with those traits.

Some officers currently don't have any traits, but that just means that I haven't done any assignments which used those officers. The spreadsheet is open to editing so hopefully other players will slowly fill it up. Though in most cases, there's also a short list of general traits which are useful for duty officers in that specializations (such as assignments which just require a tactical or medical type of officer).

Here's the google docs link and feel free to use it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fq3_3zcKItiQGAcNEn9sIGLbXPlXvIHZoc8x9ebXChg/edit?usp=sharing

It will be interesting to see when you have more filled in. Here is a spreadsheet I made that you can use to find specific duty officers that have certain traits (or other qualities): http://bit.ly/STODoffs​​

daBelgrave, allow me to geek out slightly here, and say a huge "Thank You" for your Ship Comparison spreadsheet! That thing is massive to me. I find myself using it for every ship decision I ever make.
And to the OP, very nice work. Thanks!

I'm glad you find my spreadsheets useful. I didn't mean to steal your thunder, just wanted to share what I had done that might be helpful in your own project. Good luck, and feel free to ask if you have questions or need assistance.
