Odyssey Rank Captain

Starfleet ranks are denoted by collar pips, the 4 pips here denoted the rank of Captain

In Star Trek Online, ranks denote the level of a character or NPC. Ranks are taken from those ranks used in Star Trek which they themselves, in the case of Starfleet are derived from the U.S. Navy. Higher ranks denote more powerful NPCs and unlock new abilities and systems to the player.

Player characters

A player's character progress through various ranks, comprised of between 5 and 10 levels. The character progresses to higher levels by earning Experience Points Experience Point icon via playing the game (i.e., killing NPC or player enemies, completing missions/assignments and so on). Players will earn Space and Ground points as they level up, which can be invested in skill tree to improve and individualize the character.

New systems (e.g., Duty Officers, Crafting or Admiralty) and various player abilities are unlocked at specific levels (see below). At each new rank, a new tier of playable starships, the next column of the skill tree, as well as a new Personal trait slot are unlocked.

In addition, a player unlocks new pips or uniform decorations that can be attached to their uniform at a Tailor.

Bridge officers

Bridge officers have four ranks, each one unlocking higher rank powers. Officers are promoted by expending Expertise Expertise icon on them.

The lowest Bridge officer rank names differ slightly from those used for players as players start from Cadet, Warrior and Citizen and are promoted past Ensign, Bekk and Uhlan in the tutorial. Likewise, Dominion players are promoted straight to Elder First.

Abilities Faction Federation Rank Faction Klingon Rank Faction Romulan Republic Rank Faction Dominion Rank Required Expertise icon
1 Ensign Bekk Citizen Fifth n/a
2 Lieutenant Fourth 1,100 Expertise icon
3 Lieutenant Commander Centurion Third 2,300 Expertise icon
4 Commander Subcommander Second 3,600 Expertise icon

Note that some very rare special bridge officers will always display a Starfleet/KDF rank, even for Romulan Republic players, who might thus have a BOff with the rank "Commander" (= Subcommander).

NPCs

Ranks for ground and space NPCs are similar to bridge officer ranks and denote their difficulty.

Ground Space
Critter Rank 0 icon Neophyte Fighter
Critter Rank 1 icon Ensign Frigate
Critter Rank 2 icon Lieutenant Cruiser/Escort/Science Vessel
Critter Rank 3 icon Commander Battleship
Critter Rank 4 icon Captain[1] Dreadnought
Critter Rank 5 icon Captain[1] Capital Ship
  1. 1.0 1.1 "Captain" is used for both 4 and 5-pip ground NPCs.

Other usage

In addition, there are other tier ranking systems in-game:

  • The duty officer system is currently composed of four "commendation ranks", for each commendation category. Individual duty officers also have ranks that vary depending on quality and department.
  • The holdings of the Fleet Advancement System are leveled up through different "tiers".
  • The personal Reputation System also lets your character progress through six "tiers" in each reputation faction.
