Revision as of 12:52, 5 October 2018
The PvE Queue was originally introduced in Season 4 as a way to find other players to join in for fleet actions. For Season 7 the UI of the queue menu was revamped and expanded[1] to include Special Task Force missions and PvE group events. Second UI revamp[2] happened with Season 13. With the release of Season 15, the PvE Queues were renamed to Task Force Operations[3]. They can be accessed by clicking the Task Force Operations button on the bottom of the navigation menu or by clicking the PvE thumbnail in the Mission Journal.
Mission types and rewards
The Task Force Operation offers group content of two different basic types: "Fleet actions" and "Events/STFs" (not to be confused with Calendar events). Contrary to the name, players involved in a fleet action do not have to be part of the same fleet or of any fleet at all. Events taking place around a fleet starbase, however, can only be accessed if the player is in a fleet.
Both, fleet actions as well as events, may either be ground or space combat missions involving 5, 10 or up to 20 players (see PvE queue table), but differ in their reward structure.
Fleet actions
Fleet actions are group missions, at the end of which each player is rewarded Dilithium (480 for space fleet actions, 640 for ground). Players who have contributed the most (e.g., most damage dealt/taken) are also rewarded with items. Finishing in first place gets a random Very Rare item (as well as the accolade and trophy, if not already obtained), second and third place gets a random Rare item, and all other players get a random Uncommon item.
There is a daily mission for a different fleet action each day (every 20 hours). It rewards 960 dilithium and 50 Fleet Marks and can be obtained from Lieutenant B'Mera for Klingon players and Admiral Grigori Yanishev for Federation players.
Events & STFs
"Event"-type group missions (not to be confused with calendar events) and Special Task Force (STF) missions are group missions (usually with a normal, advanced and an elite version) rewarding fleet marks and/or reputation marks for one or more specific factions as well as dilithium (480 for normal; 720 for advanced; 1440 for elite).
Queues
Public Queues
Public queues are the first menu seen (Quick Play tab). To queue up, select the fleet action and press the Join Queue button on bottom right. Queues are split by rank:
- Levels 3-9
- Levels 10-19
- Levels 20-29
- Levels 30-39
- Levels 40-49
- Levels 50-59
- Level 60
Private Queues
Private queues can be created (with an optional password) that can hold up to four teams of 5 (20 players) and requires five players to start. To do so, click the Create Private tab and under PvE, choose a queue of any difficulty. Press Start Private Queue to create an instance.
The queues require a certain level to be unlocked and cannot be played below that level. The queues can also be sorted based on ground, space, public private, unlocked, and locked.
