..If you complete a mission and your inventory is full, or if you companions complete a mission while you're in a conversation, you may not get the mission completion/reward window popping up.

Just click on the "Pending" warning located on the upper right of your UI, above your mission log and you can claim all the rewards you missed due to whatever reason...

Space combat gives you credits, sometimes titles, and commendations. Some people complain about it, but I think its a great little diversion, send your companions off on missions whilst you do it, earning even more.

My only problem with space combat (except that it isn't exactly STO standard) is that it makes me feel really sick. I struggle with travel sickness anyway and I simply can not go into a simulator without eventually expelling my lunch so this just isn't a fun addition for me.

Does anybody feel this effect when playing in space?

Does anybody know if there is a limit to this? I think I had 2 pending in Beta but I was wondering if you can literally complete quests left right and center and claim all your rewards whenever it's convenient to you. It's an awesome addition to the game for sure but I'd be worried that if you have two many pending you may start losing them.

enrapture, maybe move all the helpful links up into your first post so we don't have to sort thru all the pages of non tips and tricks posts?

Might be easier to find stuff if it's all on the first page.

Quote by Aldente

You choose one name at character creation. You can choose whether to make that sound like a first name or a last name or something ambiguous. There are a large number of titles and some folks argue that some of them sound better if your chosen name is a first name and others sound better if your chosen name is a last name. For instance, if you named your trooper Brad, one of your early titles would make you appear as Sergeant Brad which some might say sounds like a stripper. If you opted to call your trooper Patton, you'd be Sergeant Patton.

The other consideration is that once one of your characters completes Chapter One of your class story, you earn legacy status and can choose a legacy name. The legacy name is used for all your characters. For each character, you can choose to display the legacy name as a last name, as a title following your name, or not display it at all. To continue with the example, you could name your character Brad and choose Patton as your legacy name which would mean that you could run around as:

• Brad Patton
• Sergeant Brad Patton
• Sergeant Brad, the Patton Legacy

If your character was a Bounty Hunter, you could even be Brad Patton, Hired Gun.

Does that help?

You will reduce the time for crafting by increasing affection with your companion. Also, the success rate on missions is increased with higher affection.
