Jon Radoff, CEO of Disruptor Beam, described the process of licensing Star Trek as "very competitive". Tickets are used to play Cadet Challenges and Arena Battles, and they refill daily.ĭisruptor Beam approached CBS about a Star Trek game when they had been developing Game of Thrones: Ascent for a year. Honor is used to purchase special crew and items (such as Honorable Citations), many of which are unobtainable any other way. For in-game earned currency, players receive credits, merits, honor, and tickets, the first two being used to purchase packs from the Time Portal as well as items from the game's many Star Trek factions, such as the Dominion or the Terran Empire. Star Trek Timelines uses dilithium as a premium currency. Players can earn new crew and starships by playing the game or purchasing packs with real money. The gameplay of the starship battles involves 3D combat, Jon Radoff stating: "We wanted to authentically and gorgeously portray all the things you would see out the window of a starship". Players can collect schematics to build more ships to take into battle. Currently, this is represented by three core stats: Damage, Accuracy, and Evasion. Each character, when placed in a battle station, is able to temporarily increase the output of a ship. Before a starship battle, the player assigns 1-5 characters to a starship's battle station. Starship battles are described as "real-time conflicts between two starships and their respective crew". Common and uncommon characters are able to participate in special away missions called 'Cadet Challenges' to earn different currencies in the game. Each Away Mission has three levels of difficulty: normal, elite, and epic. Certain characters will even be able to unlock special steps on an Away Mission for rare rewards. Each step of an Away Mission will require a character with the appropriate skill level and proficiency: diplomatic, scientific, medical, engineering, security, and command. One of the primary ways to progress in the game (including Starship Battles) an Away Mission is when the player sends a team of 3 characters out to complete a challenge. The players are also able to form in-game groups called "Fleets" and "Squadron" sub units that are ranked in weekend events and collaboratively upgrade "Starbases" to provide shared bonuses. Players take on the role of Captain, in command of their first starship (a Constellation class starship.) Soon, players must recruit crew and build starships from across the timelines in order to aid Q by sending crew on Away Missions, engaging in Starship Battles, and completing main missions to progress the story and choose which game factions take further control of a galaxy in chaos. Star Trek Timelines lets players recruit characters from all eras of the Star Trek TV series, including The Original Series, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Short Treks, and Picard, as well as the Star Trek movies, comics, novels, and non-canon sources. Upon arriving at the anomaly, the player meets Q, who immediately explains that a full-on temporal crisis has begun throwing people, places, and objects from other timelines (including the Mirror Universe) into this one. Set after the events of Star Trek Nemesis and Star Trek: Voyager's series finale, Star Trek Timelines begins as the player captains their first starship command to investigate an unknown temporal anomaly. The player is the captain of a ship and can form their ship's crew from characters from any era of Star Trek, while steering the fate of the galaxy through diplomacy, science and force of arms. On MaTilting Point acquired the game from Disruptor Beam and created a new studio Wicked Realm Games to support the title. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Star Trek Timelines is a strategy role playing video game developed by Disruptor Beam for iOS and Android devices, Facebook, Facebook Gameroom, the Amazon Store, and Steam.
