Hello everyone,

I have a few questions..

1. when do we upgrade to another ship?
2. I'm trying to find some Generators for a planet in the sector left to the orion, I have no clue where to find them, the description from the message and the quest journal don't really help me much any clue where to find them or point me in the right direction...

Thanks!

    Hi there:

    1) You upgrade your ship once you gain a new rank. The way ranks work in this game is Lt. Lt. Cmdr. Commander, Captain and Rear Admiral. Ships are assigned at the following levels:

    - 11 - Lt. Commander i.e. level 11
    - 21 - Commander i.e. level 21
    - 31 - Captain i.e. level 31
    - 41 - Rear Admiral i.e. level 41

    You get the picture? Every 11 levels assuming you've spent all the required amount of skillpoints you gain a rank and thus open up the next tier ship. Hope this helps.

    As to your second question, what is the name of the mission? What does it tell you to do exactly? Details would help.

    Do you "have" to take the mission at Level 6 (IIRC) that also unlocks Kilngons if you have no plan on ever playing a Kilingon?

    level 11, then 21 etc for ship upgrades. As for the generators, there is a commodities broker in earth space dock, near the tailor to customize your characters. he's in the corner in the same room.

    Although personally I just abandon the exploration missions that require commodities. Just leave and do a different one. Then you dont have to spend credits, you can do a combat or diplomatic one.

    As far as I recall you don't need to do any mission to unlock Klingon. Just reach level 6 and it should unlock for you at character creation. Unless I'm missing something... I don't ever recall doing a mission to unlock the Klingon side.

    Nah is no 'mission' it just unlocks the ability to create a klingon on char creation screen.

    I think you may have to take it if you want the storyline to progress (never actually tried not taking it myself), but there's nothing forcing you to make a Klingon character if you do, so you should do it just to get the points to spend on your character and bridge officers.

    That is why I put "have" in quotes. I had heard that you needed to do some sort of Mission.

    But that wass zone chat, and we ALL know how trustworthy that is.

    Well servers down so I can't give you exact Quest name, but i was supposes to explore 3 planets in the Sector top left of the Starting area, right next to Sol. There were no planets so i went cruising and saw a bar pop up saying explore unknown planets went to the planet incoming communcations of a person asking for 10 Generators or Shield generators. and hit contiune and the dialog was gone. Check quest log all its says it to get 10 generators... looked in sol at every vendor couldnt figure it out.

    Looking for generators on a planet surface? Really really sandy place? If so, consult your map. You'll see white circles where they are located.

    Yeah, also another helpfull tip. Use your tricoder, even if there is no anomolys it will point towards quest goals. Surprised it doesnt tell ya that in tutorial.

    Just following the blue line from tricorer and it will guide ya :)

    Starbase 1, the first starbase you start off at, orbiting a big blue/green planet called Earth.

    2. I'm trying to find some Generators for a planet in the sector left to the orion, I have no clue where to find them, the description from the message and the quest journal don't really help me much any clue where to find them or point me in the right direction...

    In open beta there was an NPC in Starbase One in Sol that sold Provisions, Generators, and such for colony supply missions for about 00 credits each. They do drop from ship kills too, but not very often.

    this are the repeatable explore-missions. you can sometimes loot the items from ships or buy them at the cargo-ships e.g.

    I believe that you can also buy ships, provided you have enough energy credits.

    Generators and other commodities can be bought at the SOL spacestation and I THINK you can get them from the federation merchant ships. You can also get them as item drops but it's kind of rare.

    At SOL, they go for about 100 credits a piece so you may want to drop missions that want you to burn 1000 credits to complete and find a new one that is a little more rewarding.

    The Earth's nearest star, what many call The Sun, is also known as Sol.

    Also, the commodities vendor at the starbase is across from the tailor.
