COMMENDATIONS • Starfleet Command has created a special series of commendations for captains who achieve remarkable (or sometimes infamous) feats • Over 300 commendations across 60 years of franchise lore, and many are hidden. You'll have to find them! • Will you explore "Strange New Worlds" (play a game with every captain), or test your "Peak Performance" (lose to every captain)? • Will you go "Where No One Has Gone Before" (score 140 in a Cadet game), or have you been spending time on "Hollow Pursuits" (score under 70 in a Cadet game)? • Do you believe in a "No-Win Scenario" (reach Admiral in a mission on Kobayashi Maru difficulty with no losses), or are you waltzing the corridors playing "Enterprise Bingo"? • Share your commendations with others • Find them in Log → Commendations, or on each captain's profile CARDS • Thanks to the CC Card Scanner website for letting us use their card operation data! • Every card now has its full operations in the app, searchable and filterable • A clearer, consistent card view • A new Cards tab on each captain's page with their Commands, Mission Reinforcements, and starting deck by starting location SETUP GUIDE • A setup guide customized for each game. Tap to open it, or set it to appear with every game • Walks you through every step, taking into account your settings, game mode, Mission Challenges and Boosts, Commons market, and captain (Away Teams and special setup rules) • Mission Boosts with a choice now let you pick, and assign it automatically REMINDERS • Edit the built-in reminders, or create your own for captains, scoring categories, and game events: – "In Endgame scoring, when I play Archer, remind me that only one Wildcard counts toward his Endgame operation" – "At the end of every turn when I play Pike, remind me to resolve his status clean-up operation" – "Show 'Khaaaaaaaaan!' every time I start a game against Khan" • Use the game's own tokens and icons in your reminders • Settings → Reminders CUSTOM COMMONS DECKS • Build your own Commons decks and see suit, trait, specialty, and operation differences from the base decks • Pick your decks when creating a game, then filter and see stats by deck • The setup guide knows your deck's composition and reminds you what to junk, add, and remove • Commendations, Mission Reinforcements, and Command Cards respect your decks (curse you, Kaelon II Science Ministry, for adding Dilithium to the market!) • Settings → Collection → Commons SETTINGS • New sounds for game events (respecting your sound settings) • Auto-start music with a new game, with optional in-game controls • More defaults for new games and missions: a random opponent each game, a locked difficulty, and more • Show or hide commendation announcements, toggle Resupply and Clean-Up reminders, and quick access to the Bot's Card Value and Command Cards • Visual refresh MISCELLANEOUS • Edit logged games (Five Year Mission games can't have their result changed) • Games, Missions, and Commendations in Global Search • Notes on campaigns • More in-game reminders and after-game checks for Mission Challenges • Card text is now the latest corrected version, with errata describing the previous one. For the latest straight from the designers, check the CC Card Scanner site! • A full-details view for logged games: specialty track positions, timings, and resources gained • New icons for Specialty Track requirements and future-wave content printed on cards today • Resolve another Command Card right away, without closing the dialog • An explicit "Ship Lost" defeat for that Five Year Mission challenge • Command Card fixes for several captains • Some colors changed for clarity and readability
