Cryptic Studios is preparing the next update to the current Star Trek Online: Season 1.  Set for release tomorrow and Called Update 2 (catchy right?), the release will feature brand new additions to STO's gameplay as well as updates to game balancing, the fleet system and C-store.  Check out the upcoming updates below.

Accolades

Looking for more ways to challenge yourself in Star Trek Online? Do we have a system for you! The Accolades System is a brand new way to track your stats, show off your tactical skills and advance in Star Trek Online.

Accolades in Star Trek Online are special missions that track various achievements throughout a player's career in the STO universe and unlock various rewards at certain milestones. Players can earn Accolades for many different actions, such as defeating a certain number of enemies from a certain species or faction, completing main storyline missions, dealing damage of a certain energy type and many more. There are hundreds of Accolades to earn, and we'll be adding more and more as we go!

Squad Support

Want to team up with a friend who's new to the game? You're in luck! In Season One: Update Two, we're happy to introduce the Squad Support System. Now, players of any level can team with each other using our special level scaling technology. This is a great way to spend time with your friends and fleetmates of differing levels, and to enjoy Star Trek Online in a brand new way.

Quality Of Life Improvements

We've scrubbed the game and made some fantastic changes to game balance, the Fleet system and more. At the top of the list is our revamp of the DPS and global cooldown system, as well as the introduction of a Fleet event calendar and a Fleet mail system. It's never been easier to find friends with whom to share Star Trek Online!

A New And Improved C-Store

Browsing the Cryptic Store in-game is about to become much, much more user-friendly. Now, the items you view as you browse will feature better descriptions and imagery, and we made it easier to buy Cryptic Points, too!

Coming to the C-Store

- Federation Ship Variant - The Comet, a cosmetic variant of the Luna class.
- Additional Character Slots - A new four-pack of character slots at a discounted price!
- Emote Pack II - Bow (Formal), Air Guitar, and Dance (Jester).
