A ship will require at least one officer to operate and they can be obtained by using recruit tokens. Officers are classified by rarity levels (common, uncommon, rare, and epic) and each of them determines a particular officer's power and the difficulty of acquiring them.

To upgrade officers, players must level them up. This increases their stats, making them more formidable in combat. Players should focus on upgrading officers that align with their playstyle and the specific missions they are undertaking.

Users need to assign and upgrade officers frequently to stay ahead of their opponents. Once you have gained enough shards for an officer you can also promote them.

Star Trek Fleet Command officer abilities

Each officer has a unique captain's maneuver and officer ability. The captain's maneuver is an active skill that enhances the ship's performance when the officer is in command.

For instance, James T. Kirk's captain's maneuver provides a 40% boost to all officers' stats. The stats will be continuously boosted as long as the ship maintains morale, which is crucial for maximizing damage output.

Officer abilities are typically passive and activate under certain conditions during combat. For example. Leonard McCoy enhances the defense of all officers who are present on the bridge. The enhancement is done each time the ship takes damage which makes him invaluable during long fights.

This team-up helps in creating a balanced squad that enhances both offensive and defensive capabilities. Kirk's ability to inspire morale can be complemented by Spock's defensive boosts.

Mastering the officer system is one of the most important tasks in Star Trek Fleet Command. By using the skills explained above, players can assemble powerful crews ready to tackle the challenges of the galaxy.

Remember that the key to success lies in strategic combinations and continuous upgrades. This will ensure the survivability of your ship in Star Trek Fleet Command.
