* Please note that in the 23 century tactical characters wear gold and engineering characters wear red.

If you've fiddled about a bit, fear not and use this guide to help you fix things And if you begin your career in the 23 century, I trust you can figure out the apt uniform for that era. Thankfully, the default (Odyssey) option is the modern uniform. Now that you've made your career choice you may be confused a mite by all the uniform options during the rest of the character creation process. Voyager is an iconic science starship, the likes of which you can fly from level 30 onwards when promoted to Captain. Science officers wear blue and are best when in command of science starships. Science officers are adept at many tricks when their expertise is called upon, ranging from bolstering the starship and crew's health whilst diminishing the enemies, causing confusion and weakening enemies or simply bringing their medical or scientific knowledge to bare to repair the starship or heal its crew. This is the career of explorers, doctors and scientific curiosity. The Enterprise D is an iconic cruiser starship, the likes of which you can fly from level 30 onwards when promoted to Captain. Engineers wear gold* uniforms and are best paired with cruisers. Such officers are highly capable of utilizing their technological knowhow to keep starships, shuttles and even away teams healthy and strong. The Defiant is an iconic escort starship, the likes of which you can fly from level 30 onwards when promoted to Captain.Īn engineer's life is spent building, designing and maintaining the many technological wonders of the 23 or 25 century. Such officers wear red* and are best matched with escort starships. You're a frontline fighter and protector and thus you're geared accordingly as your career progresses. The career of a tactical officer is one of security and warfare. Each one changes how you'll play the game to some extent, so choose wisely. There are three to choose from tactical, engineering or science. Before you select the race, gender and look will come the most important aspect of the process career. They also have access to a ton of debuffs, although a lot of them are only marginally effective with the current resistances and immunities on everything.The first step into the world of Star Trek Online is to create a character. They're a bit of a half-way between a Tactical and Engineer, but with a great deal of group-friendly flexibility. They've got a lot of abilities that can help other players out and generally just cause a lot of headaches for the opposition. In space, they're something of a jack-of-all-trades supportive class. They also have access to some very mean debuffs and stuns, but science generally runs with a lot of heals. On ground, science can be stupidly hard to kill and can probably tank better than any other class, blindfolded. They're a pretty 'selfish' class(most space engineering skills only effect you, personally), but they do have some nice support options at the higher bridge slots. In space, they are the most resilient class which can reduce incoming damage substantially and repair themselves at alarming rates. They can use a plethora of deployable devices - from mines to turrets to shield 'bubbles' in addition to a lot of support supportive shield heals and mechanical debuffs On ground, Engineers can be a lot of fun. In space, they're very much about using attack patterns(buffs/debuffs) to maximize their damage They do have some decent defensive buffs and AE attacks, but need help to survive longer engagements. These are extremely squishy on ground, but they can do some stupid amounts of damage - very 'rogue' playstyle. Sure, there are racial abilities for each one, but they honestly don't make that much of a difference to worry that much about it. Honestly, the Race is moreso what your want your character to look like.
