Star Trek Online Delta Recruitment Event Begins & Patch Notes

The Delta Recruitment event has begun, bringing enhanced rewards for new characters - and something special for existing characters so they don't feel left out. And if you already have a full team - you've been given a free character slot.

Doing certain tasks will contribute towards a community meter, which will unlock things for all players the following week, when it hits certain benchmarks.

For the first week of this eight-week event, the first time you complete a story mission will go towards the meter, which will unlock up to 150% experience and skill points for next week!

Be warned, to qualify as a Delta Recruit, you must not skip the tutorial. 

Now, the patch notes:

New Feature:

Delta Recruit System:

• From April 2 to May 21, each new captain a player creates will be a Delta Recruit.
• This excludes captains where the player chooses to skip the tutorial.
• A Delta Recruit will advance through all the same missions for their faction as the standard officers have access to except they will have additional tasks involving the Iconian war.
• Completing these tasks will give special rewards to the Delta Recruit as well as rewards for all characters on an account.
• There are also shard wide week long tasks that players can take part in which will kick off special events once completed.
• Only Delta Recruits can contribute to these goals but all characters will benefit once the events are unlocked.
• A free character slot has also been added to all accounts so everyone has the ability to make a Delta Recruit right off the bat.
