Today we are releasing a server update which contains changes to Voyages. These changes are intended to balance rewards to fit a greater variety of playstyles, and are as follows:
- Slightly increased chances to earn Credits, Training Programs, and Components. - 4 new Voyages exclusive crew have been added as on-time rewards. Experiment with Dilemmas and you might encounter them; tell us when you do! - Slightly decreased chances to earn 1* crew. - Slightly decreased chances to earn Chronitons on Voyages going past 4 hours.
Please note that if you are in the middle of a Voyage, the rewards you earned prior to this server release will remain unchanged. These changes will however affect rewards that you will earn afterwards.
Holiday Sale
The Holidays are upon us! To celebrate we will have Holiday Offers ready for you, starting tomorrow. More details to come soon! Please note that a forced restart will take place prior to those offers going live.
Bug fix
- fixed an issue with Mirror Uhura's equipment. As a result her SEC stats have slightly increased.
Forced Upgrade
The forced upgrade to v3.1.0. (iOS) and 3.1.1 (Android) also took place today and the following features are now available to everyone:
- Achievements We have added 2 new achievements related to Voyages. These achievements are based on length of Voyages and number of Dilemmas resolved. They will not be retroactive, and players who have already logged in today will only see them tomorrow.
We previously announced that a new Daily Mission related to Voyages would also be available. It still needs some work and will go live at a later date.
- Voyage Tutorial Voyages now have their own tutorial. We hope this will help Captains in being better prepared before warping off. The tutorial will only be seen once, the first time you access the feature.

It’s almost the end of the year, so I wanted to catch up with all of you. So what’s been going on over at Disruptor Beam?
Version 3.1 has just been released. It includes a bunch of improvements covering everything from Voyages (recalling Voyages with antimatter remaining will no longer fail), to UI fixes (no more phantom notification for ranking in Gauntlet) and loads a LOT faster!. You’ll be seeing even more fixes and enhancements in our next major client update.
Also, as part of the 3.1 update, STAR TREK TIMELINES is now available on the Amazon Appstore! This means if you’ve got a Kindle, or the Amazon Appstore loaded on your Android device, you can now install and play the game through Amazon.
Okay, now to the news you REALLY care about.
Extended Events
• We heard your feedback regarding extended events over holidays. They can feel extra grindy and you’re not getting additional rewards. So we’re going to try something new. We’re not changing the schedule, but what we can do is give you additional threshold rewards you can unlock. What this means is that while it will take a little longer to unlock rewards, you’ll also have more rewards to unlock along the way. This will only apply to the last 2 events during the Mirror Universe Mega-Event. Try it out and let us know what you think.
Other Improvements and Changes
• We’re still working on an overhaul of Cryostasis which includes the ability to sort and search for crew. I was hoping to be able to get it out to you before the end of the year, but there’s still more UI work we need to do. We’re targeting the next major client update for this upgrade.
• Heads up -- we’re going to be rebalancing the Voyages loot table. This will be the first change since the feature launched. We’ll have more details about this later, but these are small adjustments and not drastic changes. You’ll earn slightly fewer Chronitons and Trainers, but you’ll earn a little more Credits, and have a greater chance of getting crew (including all-new Voyages-exclusive crew). Stay tuned.
• We will be updating the Gauntlet-exclusive crew sometime after the New Year. Although I won’t name the new crew now, we did take a forum suggestion for this one.
• Kahless will be leaving the Honor Hall to make room for a new crew member that many of you have been asking for. This will also take place sometime after the New Year, and we’ll be sure to give you at least a week’s notice before making the change.
There’s even more coming up for Timelines in the near future. Keep an eye out for more updates in January -- that’s when we’ll hold the next Q&A, catch the mid-season premiere Star Trek: Discovery -- and oh yeah... we have our second anniversary coming up! January’s going to be awesome.
Thank you for being the best players out there. Happy Holidays.

After narrowly surviving Mirror Picard’s attempt on his life, Emperor Spock has approached Starfleet to ask for its support. Inspired by a meeting with the prime universe’s Kirk, Spock has been instituting reforms throughout the Terran Empire. These reforms have not been well-received, but it was his ban against unhindered conquering of other worlds that has sent much of the Empire into revolt. Mirror Picard, who believes himself a righteous force of law and order on otherwise chaotic planets, was particularly incensed. Will you help strengthen Spock’s hold on his people, preventing the collateral damage more unrest could cause, or join the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in secretly supporting Mirror Picard’s preparations for a coup? The Ferengi Alliance has also found a mutually beneficial arrangement helping those unwilling to either live in the Empire as it is or wait for reforms to make life more tolerable. Their mercenaries are smuggling dissenters out of the Empire to new homes, so long as they can pay a reasonable price for their tickets.

The Terran Empire is on high alert. A mirror version of Captain Jean-Luc Picard has declared Emperor Spock unfit to rule the Empire. Together with Empress Sato, who has always schemed to reclaim the throne she once held, they sought to make an attempt on the Emperor’s life. But true to form, Sato has decided to betray her partner Picard by informing on him to Starfleet. The immediate threat to Spock must be dealt with. Will you protect Spock by working with Terran Empire authorities, secretly support overthrowing Spock alongside the Maquis, or help Section 31 manipulate both sides into weakening each other?
