Player Abilities

From Star Trek Online Wiki

For the abilities possessed by Bridge Officers, see Bridge officer abilities

Player specific abilities (sometimes referred to in game as powers and by other players as player leveled abilities) are earned as you spend skill points and achieve higher ranks and grades. Whilst you may be at a specific level, you will not unlock the corresponding ability until you have spent enough skill points. The table below is a list of abilities you will be granted as you achieve a certain rank and grade. For each rank you earn:

• Universal space abilities at grade 3
• Profession-specific ground abilities at grade 5
• Profession-specific space ability at grade 8

Starting at Lieutenant Commander, all previously owned skills (i.e. Lieutenant skills at Lt. Comm.) will upgrade to their next rank once you achieve it through skill point rank up (you must hit Lt. Comm. 1, not just Lt. 11). An an example, Tactical Lieutenants at grade 5 will recive the Target Optics I ability. At Lt Commander 5, they will receive rank II, and at Commander 5, Rank III.

In ground combat players also share bridge officer abilities which they can use through the use of a Kit. For a list of those abilities see the bridge officer abilities article.

Career Specific Abilities

The table below shows both ground and space abilities that players of all professions will receive during their character's career. It only shows when players receive the first rank of a new ability. Secondary and tertiary ranks of the ability are gained as the player ranks up, which is explained above.

Shared Abilities

The table below shows both ground and space abilities that are available to players of all professions. As mentioned above, the secondary and tertiary ranks of these abilities unlock themselves as the player increases in rank and grade. For more information see the introduction of this article.

The exceptions to this rule are the Transwarp and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation abilities, which are available to players immediately.
