Crew

**Crew** play an important role in Star Trek Timelines. Crew can be placed in battle stations on Ships. Each Mission begins with players select crew for an away team, with different crew being better suited for different situations. Each character is proficient in at least one skill: Diplomacy, Science, Security, Command, Engineering and Medicine. To complete a mission, characters will need to meet certain skill requirements, for example 22 Security. Skills can be improved by adding equipment, and fusing characters with extra copies of themselves. Crew also have inherent abilities called traits. For example, Commander Worf has the *Warrior* trait. Traits provide a bonus when playing missions. Traits can also unlock options during Conflict Missions, for example being human may help crew relate to human enemies and allies. By completing conflicts, players can gain crew experience, credits, equipment, and many other items. Completing conflicts is a key way to improve crew in Star Trek Timelines.

Due to the timeline anomaly, central to the story of Star Trek Timelines, there are multiple versions of some characters. For example, there are three versions of Captain Kathryn Janeway: Standard, Phaser Rifle wielding and Queen Arachnia.

It is hoped that further characters will be added to Star Trek Timelines after the game's release . Some characters might be added during global events or special occasions

## Crew advancement

#### Power & levels

Each unique crew character has a specific number of stars. These indicate the crew character's overall power compared to others. They also indicate the rarity of a crew member. A crew character's star power does not change with experience or levels. You can see the star power of each unique crew character below.

Experience and levels are gained when crew participate in missions, and can be also increased using the "Train" button in the "Manage Crew" screen.

In order to increase the level past the Max Level, it is necessary to equip **all four** items for the character. Once this is done and the crew character is at the maximum level, they can then **Advance** to the next level range.

Characters of greater than Uncommon rarity (2+ stars, green border) require duplicate (identical) crew characters to be fused (to join together) to increase their star power. Each additional star will increase the character's skills. *(More details needed)*

The highest level any character can reach, regardless of rarity, is 99. Note that characters advanced above 90 will show their max level listed as 100, but the experience bar will stop advancing one experience point before the character reaches level 100.

#### Equipment

There are a variety of ways crew can become be improved. One of the best ways is to equip them with items. Each item can be either found (in a specific mission) or built (from parts). Tap on each of the 4 item slots to see where each item can be found or how it can be built (see next section).

Once all four items are equipped, the character can be Advanced which increases the level cap by 10 and resets the equipment slots.

There is a bug that makes it so that you can see an item in your inventory, but in the crew management screen it says you still need to get it.

#### Building items

Some items that a crew character needs to equip must be built. Tapping on the "Build" button shows the required components in order to build the item. Tapping on each component will show the mission(s) needed to get each component.
