Changes: Player ability

Revision as of 16:44, 2 March 2015

This article is about non-kit specific player abilities. For the abilities granted by kits and as well as those possessed by Bridge Officers, see Bridge officer and kit 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, see Captain abilities (space)
Career path-specific ground abilities at grade 5, see Career Specific Abilities
Career path-specific space ability at grade 8, see Captain abilities (space)

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 receive the Target Optics I ability. At Lt Commander 5, they will receive Rank II, and at Captain 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 career paths 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 career paths. 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.

Rank	Space	Ground
Lieutenant	Evasive Maneuvers Transwarp	Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Lt Commander	Brace for Impact
Commander	Ramming Speed
Captain	Abandon Ship
Rear Admiral, Lower Half & Brigadier General	Fleet Support
Vice Admiral & Lieutenant General	Quantum Slipstream Drive

Activatable Ground Traits

Certain ground traits give players access to abilities, which have the same name as the trait that grants it. Like other traits, these are either required or optional for specific species:

Other abilities, such as Cryonic Visor Beam, Mental Burst, Pacification, and Project Image are only available to bridge officers, not players.
