Notes[ | ]
- Training Cruise is the second mission of the revamped Federation tutorial, released with Season Eight: The Sphere in 2013. It received further enhancements in 2022, with Season Twenty-six: Stormfall. These changes include but may not be limited to:
- Map improvements to improve its visual fidelity, incorporating 2410 Federation interiors as first used in Season Twenty-four: Reflections.
- Removal of Klingon ambush storyline, resulting in the deletion of Captain Kadek of the I.K.S. Chot. Instead, the tutorial is entirely Borg-focused.
- Upon arriving on the transporter deck, a portion of the corridor is already destroyed and sealed off. The original situation and associated cutscene, where a Klingon officer is exposed to the vacuum of space, has been removed.
- After healing Cadet R'raak, the player now requests a site-to-site transport directly to Engineering in order to stop the Borg advance.
- Removal of all career-specific dialogue and objectives. These objectives originally took players to different parts of the ship, but now they are routed only to Engineering, allowing for an early introduction of Zarva to the player during a tense situation. These objectives include:
- Breach the Door [TAC/ENG]
- Override the Door [SCI]
- [Tactical] Boost Ship's Weapon System (0/3) in the Torpedo Bay
- [Engineering] Reinforce Structural Integrity Field (0/3) in Engineering
- [Science] Reinforce Weakened Shields (0/3) in the Science Lab
- With the removal of Kadek and his ruse, Captain Taggart does not die. Instead, he is abducted by the Borg, who escape on the attacking Borg Sphere.
- Improved cutscenes and streamlined mission flow.
- As part of the tutorial, this mission is acquired automatically and cannot be dropped or skipped. On completion, the following mission “Field Promotions” will automatically start.
- Upon completion of the mission [Elisa Flores] joins the player's crew as a bridge officer.
- During the mission the player gets a [Phaser Sniper Rifle Mk I] as additional reward.
