Discovery Phasers have been around awhile and have a really cool effect in Star Trek Online, coming from Star Trek: Discovery. Obtaining them can be quite expensive, but there’s a cheap and easy workaround that doesn’t require an absolute ton of grinding. This is especially true for newer characters who enjoy the look of the phasers but don’t want to pay the auction house prices. Discovery Phasers: From Missions You can do the “Downfall” mission which can drop the phasers. It’s going to take a bit to get them all but doesn’t require anything but running the mission itself. Not the best option for newer players but it’s easy and quick and gets you the phasers. Use the Shared Bank Make a Discovery Character and continue until you reach “Go to Priors World.” Have another character put energy credits (we have a guide to farming EC if you need help)…

Star Trek Online (STO) has 65 levels that each character can progress through. All content in the game is level matchable, meaning that if a party has mixed levels then everyone can match to a single players level and more or less enjoy the content together. Leveling up still lets you unlock critical systems to unlock more ships and deck them out with cool Trek gear for your virtual space odyssey. Leveling up quickly is possible a few different ways. We’ll focus on the two most enjoyable and quickest methods: playing through missions and then grinding patrols. Leveling through Missions in Star Trek Online You can level up very quickly as a free-to-play player through missions alone; this is best for brand new characters. The most enjoyable way, although not the absolute fastest, is to focus on doing the story missions more or less in order. The missions will always…

There’s a lot of slots to equip gear in Star Trek Online and gearing up can be hard starting out. You’ll need consoles, armaments, impulse engines and shields to power your ship not to mention you’ve got to equip a deflector and warp core! There’s a lot of loot that drops in the game and it can be really confusing on what to do to gear up and where to go to get ready to serve the Federation, Klingon Defense Force, etc. We break the gear guide down to before level 65, right when you hit 65 and pulling together your gear after that. Let’s begin! Gear Before Level 65 As a free-to-play player you’ll mostly be kitting your space ship out with mission rewards. You’ll be getting new gear constantly that you can use to replace your already equipped gear via missions. It comes so quickly to be quite…

Farming energy credits in Star Trek Online can be a daunting task when there isn’t any direct indication of how you can do so in the game. You need EC (energy credits) to buy items from the exchange. You’ll need them even if you don’t plan on making your EC (energy credit) fortune farming yourself and instead earning them vis-à-vis the exchange. You’ll need at least a few million in seed money to get going and that in of itself can be quite hard, especially when first starting out. This guide is assuming a full free-to-play experience. Players who wish to exchange real life money for energy credits can do so via master keys in the official Zen store. The keys can be sold directly or you can open Infinity Lockboxes to earn lobi crystals and sell the content, although you can get boxes that provide almost no value EC…
