I have heard the word "crafting" used about STO. I'm used to RPG crafting, so what exactly is crafted in STO. Perhaps this is the stuff produced on Alpha from anomolies. Is there player crafting in this game?

Yes, atm the turnins at Memory Alpha is the only "crafting". I've heard they are going to expand it to be more like crafting in other games, but I've not really been playing lately to see if they've added anything or discussed it in more detail.

There are 3 "tiers" of item turnins at Memory Alpha.

The first tier is from the woman in the center of the base, the quest sends you to her.

The second tier is unlocked when you "buy" 7k credits worth of tier 1 items. There are three Tier 2 people, one engineer, one tactical, and one science. They all supply different items.

The third tier, are by the tier 2 venders. I never bothered to unlock this tier and when last I looked noone was sure how much effort it took to unlock.

With the latest patch they modified Memory Alpha so that it was more inline with crafting in other games. Complete with a crafting bar.

Each item you craft is worth XP points in the selected field. Each field is 500 points total to max it and move onto the next.

The first thing you must max out is General Research, which afterwords allows you to learn the 1st tier in the 3 branches (which they renamed Energy Fields, Physical Sciences, and Technology R&D). Once you get 500 points in the 1st tier, you can learn the advanced items (which is another 500 points to max out).

In addition, they put venders in Memory Alpha that sell the non-anomalous data components.
