The Infinity Promotion Packs are returning to Star Trek Online on PC this week! From June 8th at 8am PT to June 29th at 12pm PT, you can purchase Infinity Duty Officer Packs, and Infinity Research and Development Packs. The R&D Packs will have a chance to drop the materials for the new Advanced Consoles, and all packs will include a chance at a powerful Tier 6 Starship, including the brand new Consitution III Miracle Worker Cruiser! But that's not all - the packs are now cheaper than ever before! You can get a single pack for 250 Zen, or a bundle of packs for 800 - that's a 20% price decrease, and it's permanent!
Read on for more details on this new ship, and on the special bonuses and sales running along side these new packs!
The Constitution III, also known as the Neo-Constitution, rose to prominence during a particularly fateful tour of duty that saw it facing off against much more powerful foes and influencing the course of Federation history. The field modifications to the design have been replicated on a small number of vessels for joint study, including its stolen cloaking device - no small feat of diplomacy! This process is much like the ship itself: flexible, adventurous, rugged and capable. It's said the class grows with everyone who serves aboard one, and in turn it imparts them with experiences no one has had before.
Continue reading further on for the full details on this new starship offering!
Constitution III Miracle Worker Cruiser [T6]This starship includes a Commander Engineering / Miracle Worker Specialist Bridge Officer Seat and a Lieutenant Commander Science / Pilot Specialist Bridge Officer Seat.
The Constitution III comes equipped with a Narrow-Angle Phaser Beam Array. It behaves much like a standard Phaser Array but sacrifices some angle of fire in exchange for better damage. Only two Narrow-Angle Arrays may be equipped per starship.
Activating this Console deploys a Bio-Electric Wave that passes through Foes, dealing Electrical Damage to each Foe contacted. The ship can ride this wave, gaining bonuses to Speed, Maneuverability, and all Subsystem Power while remaining near the wave.
This console additionally grants increased Energy Damage, Bonus Electrical Damage, and Weapon Subsystem Power. This console may be equipped on any ship in any console slot. You may only equip one of these consoles on any single ship.
Targets self
While this trait is slotted, activating a Beam Fire At Will, Beam Overload or a Cloaking Ability grants Bonus Beam Damage and Evasion. If the ship is in Threatening Stance, it also improves threat generation.

We’re pleased to announce the return of the Research and Development Week! This event will run from Thursday, June 8th at 8am PT to June 12th at 12pm PT on PC, and features several bonuses throughout STO that will give Captains of all levels a leg up advancing their rank in the Research and Development school(s) of their choice.
For those Captains looking specifically for extra help with their projects, all R&D packs throughout the game will give out an extra 25% of the items they currently disperse for the duration of this event. Queue R&D Material Reward Packages (Normal, Advanced and Elite) will reward 25% more R&D Materials and have a chance to reward a Catalyst.
Alternatively, Captains wanting to advance through Research and Development schools as fast as possible should seek out Harvest Nodes, located in mission maps throughout STO, which will not only disperse 2 extra R&D Materials each time they are used, but will also reward 10 Dilithium Ore and have a chance to give out a R&D Catalyst during this event.
For all Captains that work on a Research and Development project during this weekend event, those projects will reward an extra 50% of the appropriate Research and Development School XP. This includes projects to make components as well as those to make items.
From Thursday, June 8th at 8am PT to June 12th at 12pm PT, we are running a special weekend event where you can earn Bonus Commendation XP by completing any Duty Officer assignments!
To those junior officers who work tirelessly in cramped Jefferies Tubes, perish namelessly on away missions, or provide the endless streams of reports and analysis necessary for a starship to function – this event is dedicated to you!
During this event, you’ll gain a 50% increase in all Commendation XP earned by completion of Duty Officer assignments. You don’t need to do anything special for this bonus – it’s automatic.
Receive a FREE* special Purple quality duty officer with a unique active roster power by speaking with your duty officer contact. For Starfleet officers and Romulan allies, this is an engineering Exocomp duty officer; for KDF officers and Romulan allies, it is a Reman duty officer.
*This is not available if you already claimed it the last time we ran the event.
Duty officer packs** opened during the event will each have a FREE additional Green quality or better duty officer inside. This only applies to C-Store purchased packs, not to those awarded during rank-up, from recruitment assignments or mini-packs. Also, it applies only to packs opened during the event, even if they are purchased prior to the event.
**The packs included in this offer are: Delta Alliance Duty Officer Pack, Gamma Quadrant Duty Officer Cadre, Reinforcements Duty Officer Pack, Fleet Support Duty Officer Pack, Romulan Survivor Duty Officer Pack, Fleet Support Duty Officer Pack, Klingon Empire Duty Officer Pack and Federation Duty Officer Pack.
The Academy particle scanning events are now part of the Junior Officer Appreciation Event! Visit Starfleet Academy or Klingon Academy during the event and speak to Professor Meyer or Commander B’Tama. Pick a cadet to train, then engage in scanning particles all about the academy grounds. As you scan and capture particles you’ll help to train the cadet, and in exchange your faction will release a new random Duty Officer to you. The more particles you scan, the better the quality of the officer you can claim!
Remember, additional reserve roster duty officer slots (in increments of 25 and 100) are available from the in-game C-Store, for up to a maximum of 500 reserve roster spaces.
Have fun, and try not to send too many duty officers to Sickbay!
In addition, Research and Development packs will be available to Captains for 20% off! From Thursday, June 8th at 8am PT to June 15th at 12pm PT, both Research and Development packs as well as bundles will be discounted.
