Division 12 (Update 96): what changed for your fleet
- Refits can now be earned. Three Skin of My Enemies events run from October 15 to October 19 (9:00 a.m. PT) for owners of the U.S.S. Voyager (Ops 34+), U.S.S. Excelsior (Ops 51+) and U.S.S. Kelcie Mae (Ops 61+).
- Do this first: play the event for a ship you own before it ends. You score with work you already do, plus ship tier-ups.
- Elite Battle Pass at Ops 61+: the new Haven Exchange gives one full Epic Haven structure. You can pick only one, so compare the four first.
- Safe to skip: the paid Chargh refits, and the new officer Rose Harper unless you fly the Ra'Ul Reaver.
This guide lists what Division 12 (Update 96, released October 15) changed. It is for any Commander from Operations (Ops) level 20 up, because the Battle Pass starts there. The free refit events start at Ops 34. The Haven Exchange and the new officer need Ops 61.
A refit gives a ship a new look and a bonus. Until now you bought refits in the store. The Skin of My Enemies events let you earn one with a ship you already own. Each event is a Heroic Solo Milestone event (SMS). You score by using the featured ship and by tiering it up. Voyager (Ops 34+): defeat Delta Quadrant hostiles. The Biosuperiority refit gives +75% base Isolytic Damage against Delta Quadrant hostiles. Excelsior (Ops 51+): defeat V'ger Fighters. The Isolytic Replica refit gives +50,000% base Isolytic Damage against V'ger Fighters. Kelcie Mae (Ops 61+): mine Isogenite and Geodes. The Quantum Entanglement refit gives +10,000 base Cargo Capacity. All three events end on October 19 at 9:00 a.m. PT.
The Supply, Starship and Officer Exchanges return. New on the Elite track, for a limited time: the Haven Exchange in the Event Store. It gives a full unlock of one Epic Haven structure. You choose one. The choices are Zhal Makh Temple (Ops 63+), Captain's Lounge (Ops 61+), Klingon Opera House (Ops 61+) and Quark's Bar (Ops 71+). At Ops 20 to 60, finish the Free track. Its last milestone gives the Rare officer Suder.

The Starship Exchange now also has Borg Sphere Blueprints and Parts. The Elite track also gives a full unlock of the Epic Romulan Bird of Prey refit (+250% to +2,000% base Standard Damage against non-Armada hostiles, by ship). It is in the store after the Battle Pass ends. The Officer Exchange offers one full Epic officer: WOK Montgomery Scott, Enterprise-E Riker or Gwen DeMarco at Ops 20 to 60, and WOK Montgomery Scott, VIL Winn Adami or TMP Hikaru Sulu at Ops 61 to 80. At Ops 61+, the Free track's last milestone gives the Rare officer WOK Leonard McCoy.
The Skin of the Rival cross-server leaderboard runs at the same time as the refit events, from Ops 34. Ops 34 to 60 score by spending materials on ship upgrades and by completing the Skin of My Enemies events. Ops 61+ score by spending Resonance Charges, by completing those events, and by upgrading buildings or completing research. The top three get the SNW Enterprise refit and the "Hit It" title.
Rose Harper is an Epic officer for Ops 61+. Elite-track Battle Pass players earn her shards. Her captain ability changes the Ra'Ul Reaver's Sigma Feast raid: a bigger share of what the Reaver takes is Sigma-Dilithium. At rank 5, Sigma-Dilithium goes from 8% to 60% of the raid. Her below-deck ability adds +400% to +1,000% Isolytic Defense against players on FKR ships (Federation, Klingon and Romulan) or the U.S.S. Vengeance. If you do not fly the Ra'Ul Reaver or raid other players, she can wait.
From the November 1 Territory Capture rotation, the Kelcie Mae Blueprints service is guaranteed in every T2 and T3 Territory zone, for that one season only. From the December 1 rotation it goes back to a random chance. The "Upcoming Services" list can show Kelcie Mae Blueprints for zones that will not have it in December. The game team says this is a display issue, not a promise. If your Alliance wants the Kelcie Mae, plan to hold a T2 or T3 zone in November.
Crucible of War returns on November 2. The U.S.S. Dauntless's Seek and Destroy ability is more reliable: the ship gets stuck less and moves without a target less often. A new Battle Pass icon at the top right of the main screen shows your progress and opens the Battle Pass. The Unlock Elite button now shows the Elite offers side by side. Epic Klingon Chargh class refits are new in the store; they are paid only. A known bug is still open: the DONE button on the second Chest Summary screen can stop working after you bulk-claim more than 10 chests.
