STFC gamers who are willing to spend real money in the game can unlock the new Kir’Shara Artifact, which allows you to queue hostiles.
Scopely released a major update for Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) on Tuesday, 9 April 2024. The first part of the Gorn Invasion update introduced a range of new features.
Commanders can now complete new missions, procure new Officers, construct the War Room and collect new Refits, Forbidden Tech and Artifacts.
According to Star Trek lore, the Kir’Shara was an ancient Vulcan artifact which contained the writings of Surak. This new artifact increases the number of sequential commands that a Commander is able to issue to a ship.
If you obtain it, you will be able to select one hostile to attack, followed by another, and have the responding captain execute the attacks one after the other.
Simply put, this artifact allows you to queue up a series of attacks for every ship under your control.
Keep in mind that the level of your Kir’Shara Artifact determines how many attacks you can line up.
Although this Artifact may seem worthless to some Commanders, it will be extremely useful while you are progressing through the Wave Defense activity.
Unfortunately, only players who have reached level 40 will be able to unlock the Kir’Shara Artifact. That being said, only Commanders who are willing to spend real money in STFC will be able use this Artifact, as it is not free.
