STBC    Operations      Crew Assignments

General info

• Operations oversees 10 ship systems that can enhance the ship's abilities, grouped into 3 departments:
  • Engineering (gold)
    • Thruster control (increase thruster speed and turn rate)
    • Main engineering (decrease warp time)
    • Transporter room (decrease transport time)
  • Weapons (red)
    • Torpedoes (decrease arm time)
    • Shield generator (shield modulation, decrease recharge time, increase strength)
    • Phaser control (precision targeting, decrease charge time)
  • Science (blue)
    • Sickbay (heal injured crew members)
    • Astrophysics lab (decrease anomaly damage)
    • Computer core (decrease hull damage)
    • Scanners (cloak detection, decrease scan time)
• Each department can have up to 3 crew members active
• Crew members assigned to systems outside of their department ("off color") will be less effective than crew members assigned within their department ("matching color")
• A total of 5 crew members can be active at any one time; crew members can be activated and deactivated by checking/unchecking them on the list on the right side of the operations console
• It takes time for crew members to move from one system to another; the time depends on the distance between the systems, displayed on the map of the ship on the operations console
• When deactivated, crew members will still remain in the system, and will still be there when later re-activated; thus, it is possible to "pre-load" crew members into systems and deactivate them, and then re-active them later when needed, which can be faster than moving crew members between systems, as activating/deactivating crew members usually takes less time than moving them between systems
• When a system is damaged, assigning crew members to that system will repair the damage
• When a crew member is injured, that crew member must be moved to sickbay to receive treatment

Example crew assignment patterns

• Crew Pattern Alpha
• Crew Pattern Beta

Submission of additional example crew assignment patterns may be made at the mission logs discussion board. For more information, see STBC HQ Missions.
