Career Progression Advice

A majority of our fleet is seasoned Level 50 Officers. This is a good place for them to share advice on leveling up.

Advice

 * Combine patrol missions with exploration missions to get more XP for the same amount of work. You can usually hit at least one level with 3 patrol missions and the exploration mission.
 * Make sure to keep your Duty Officer Assignments full. This gains you steady XP for no active work.
 * If you are not worried too much about what type of Bridge Officers you have, stick to the Recruitment DOFF assignments, they get you solid BOFFs at a low cost with minor XP bosts.
 * Don't blow all your Energy Credits on quick Transwarps to mission start points, take the time to go there and do some patrols along the way.
 * Make sure you don't go too crazy with ship buys at lower levels. You want a ship that'll last you till you can access a particularly good one. One that get's you an edge early on is worthwhile and there are some solid low level DIL and ZEN ships at lower levels, but you'll really want those Level 50 ships when you unlock them.
