Can't Start the "Spectres" Story Arc?

alphahydrialphahydri Member Posts: 391 Arc User
My KDF-aligned Romulan Science character that I made during the bonus XP week is now level 57. I want to run him through the first couple of missions in the "Spectres" story arc, the one with the Devidians, in order to get the Subspace Field Modulator ship device.

Although it says the minimum level for the first mission in the arc is 11, for some reason I cannot start the story arc. I'm more than well beyond the minimum level requirement and I see no obvious reason as to why I cannot start the story arc. It could possibly be because I haven't completed the main Romulan story arcs on him yet, but my Fed-aligned Romulan character was able to play through the "Spectres" arc and he's not done with the main Romulan story arc either.

Do I need to actually complete the Romulan story arcs now, despite the minimum level requirement for the "Spectres" arc being level 11, or is there something else that's holding me back?

    This is exactly it. I ran into this with my KDF Romulan Delta Recruit. I forget if it was available before or after the Reman FE series, but definitely after the unique Romulan episodes.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    You have to complete each episode in order to move onto the next. The level requirement is merely to stop low level characters from skipping ahead to get better gear

    But you can usually also skip episodes if you don't care for doing them now. (A small few can't be skipped, they tend to be short missions that introduce you to a region of space or something like that.)

    Try completing the "Darkness before the Dawn" mission in the Freedom arc, it should be the -go to vault talk with Obisek for a minute- mission. It should unlock the Specter arc after that mission.
