There are currently eight R&D schools plus two special schools without levels. Each normal school has 20 levels and offers a range of items to fabricate. An increasing R&D level improves the chance that the crafting of a high quality item of that school is successful. In addition, each school has a 20 hour Fleet Research Daily R&D task that provides the player with 5,000 crafting school XP.

• ↑ unlocked at R&D level 15; character needs to relog or change map for the trait to become available

Ingredients

If you have the R&D Materials on hand, you can fabricate a wide range of Components and equipment for you and your ship. These materials can also be purchased from the Zen Store or traded and bought on the Exchange .

Materials are the basic ingredients for all R&D tasks. They are rewarded by scanning nodes , Duty Officer assignments , most PvE queue missions, as well as Research and Development Packs .

Components are unequippable items that are fabricated from materials. They only serve as further ingredients for certain R&D tasks.

Duty officers

In addition to materials and components, crafting an item will also require a duty officer. Quality of slotted duty officer will increase the total crafting skill that improves the chance of getting better quality item or it provides bonus components.

• Common duty officer adds +0 Crafting Skill
• Uncommon duty officer adds +5 Crafting Skill
• Rare duty officer adds +15 Crafting Skill
• Very Rare duty officer adds +30 Crafting Skill
• Ultra Rare duty officer adds an unspecified amount of Crafting Skill ("Current Skill" added is shown as 0 - same as for Common quality duty officers, however success chance probabilities match those when using Very Rare officers, implying +30)

Crafting skill can be further improved by Skill Catalysts and leveling up skill level of the relevant school. Higher crafting skill results in higher probability of a critical success outcome that will give better rewards .

Regular or non-special items need duty officers with the appropriate specialization before crafting can commence. A Duty officer's R&D school specialization (if available) is not important when crafting these regular items. The tables below show which specialization is needed for which type of item.

• ↑ When crafted from Science school.
• ↑ When crafted from Engineering school.
• ↑ When crafted from Shields school.
• ↑ When crafted from Projectiles school.
• ↑ When crafted from Beams and Cannons schools.

To craft a level 15 special item, a duty officer will need to have an R&D school specialization which corresponds to the school department it can be found in, except for Aegis items which require "Aegis R&D specialist". Specializations listed in the table above do not matter for special items, only their R&D school is important.

Some sources of duty officers with R&D school specializations: Fleet system - Krenim duty officers from Fleet Research Lab (random R&D School), and 23rd Century Duty Officers from Fleet Station K-13 (specific R&D school). Lock Box packs - [ Xindi Duty Officer (Duty Officer) ] , [ Kobali Engineering Corps Veterans ] , [ Krenim Temporal Specialist (Duty Officer) ] . Duty officer assignment - " Request r&d assistance ".

• List of duty officers by R&D school specialty

To start a task, the captain must have an empty task slot. Each captain has from 1 to 6 task slots that they obtain for completing the following goals, in any order:

• 1 is unlocked with the R&D System at player captain level 15
• 1 is unlocked by raising any school to Level 2
• 1 is unlocked by raising any school to Level 4
• 1 is unlocked by raising at least three schools to Level 5
• 1 is unlocked by raising any school to Level 15
• 1 is unlocked by purchasing a slot from Fleet Research Lab that has Tier III Research unlocked

The crafting system is skill based; you gain permanent skill points by leveling a school. As your skill level increases you gain access to more items and have a higher chance to achieve a critical success outcome that gives better rewards . Additional temporary skill points boost is available from one-use Catalysts and higher quality Duty Officers .

Level Curve

Skill catalysts.

There are certain items that allow you to increase your skill when crafting an item. This will increase the probability of a critical success outcome that will give better rewards .

Crafting Items

Items can be crafted by opening the Duty Officer interface and selecting the "R&D" tab. Selecting a school reveals a list of craftable components and items. Selecting an item allows players to configure the mark of the item and the variation (e.g. Energy type for weapons). Components required depend on the parameters of the item selected, with higher mark items requiring more components. Duty Officers of varying specialisations are also required to initiate a craft.

Each item has a difficulty rating, which varies based on the parameters selected. This is compared with the player's skill rating to return the odds of returning Common , Uncommon , Rare , Very Rare and for special items Ultra Rare items. Components have a chance of returning a critical, which triples the number of items created. Crafting skill can be boosted by using higher quality Duty Officers, or using consumable "Catalysts".

Items require time to craft, ranging from seconds to up to 20 hours. The crafting school XP generated by each task varies depending on the duration. Tasks can be completed early for a cost in Dilithium.

Critical Outcome

When running Research and Development tasks, it is possible to achieve a Critical outcome for most of them. Here are the tasks with a possible Critical outcome, and the comparison of reward given in case of the non-Critical and Critical outcomes:

Components and Consumables

While the Critical Outcome reward will be the same for all components (i.e. awarding 3 components instead of 1), the probability that Components can Crit will differ. It will depend on the difficulty of the component crafting task. Advanced Console and Omega components are crafted through the Special Projects School and do not benefit from Critical Outcomes. They will always be a set amount.

For all consumables both Critical outcome reward (awarding 2 batches of consumables instead of 1), and its probability is the same across all crafted consumables. The probability is also the same as for component crafting tasks with the difficulty of 50.

There are 5 different difficulties when crafting components or consumables:

Critical Chances

The table below shows in-game probabilities in percent of obtaining a Critical outcome for all the possible R&D tasks and "current skill" combinations:

STO Crafting Critical Chances Table

• Research and Development General Accolades
• Materials and components do not need to be in the player's inventory to be able to craft an item; items stored in the bank are also used seamlessly. This does NOT apply to the Account Bank.
• Each crafting school has several Accolades and Titles that are unlocked by progressing through different levels of that school.
• The current crafting system introduced with Season 9.5 is very different from its predecessor. Beginning with Season Three: Genesis , a system involving schematics was developed. These schematics could be researched with basic data samples and were required ingredients for almost all items. Schematics came in 20 types (however, [ Schematic: Bat'leth ] was exclusive to KDF and [ Schematic: Lirpa ] was exclusive to Federation), for various personal equipment, starship weapons, or starship components. In addition to the common data samples, there were ten rare anomalies called particle traces. These particle traces were used to craft very rare items.

STARSHIP IMAGE U.S.S. Stargazer - NCC 2893-B STARSHIP/BUILD DESCRIPTION This vessel was designed by Khan Noonien Singh to protect the Federation from all threats. The massive Vengeance-class Dreadnought is equipped with an arsenal of cutting-edge weaponry, including Assault Drones. Its defense systems include a cloaking device and an Intel sensor suite. This is a DPS build with focus on Elite content like HSE & Battle of Korfez. It sacrifices a bit of damage output for increased survivability.

How does it turn? Can you keep those DHCs on target?

For a ship of its size it turns quite well. This is why I have slotted the Bellum RCS Accelerator , in order to help it a bit.

Bellum consoles sure are nifty, added crit bonus is a plus if your not able to afford Lobi gear yet.

Originally Posted by Arno12 Bellum consoles sure are nifty, added crit bonus is a plus if your not able to afford Lobi gear yet. Compared to the Tachyokinetic Converter it gains on turn rate & critical chance, but loses the critical severity & control expertise stats. For a "free" console it is fine.
