In STO, crafting takes place at the Memory Alpha research station. star trek gold is good for you. At launch, Memory Alpha was something of a disaster. Crafting consisted of bringing a bunch of materials to vendors at the station and hoping you had the proper combination to buy something, if only to clear your inventory of some of those materials. Progression, which would unlock vendors with higher-level items, was based on the value of items you bought. But players only knew that by explaining it to each other ad nauseam in the local chat channel. And knowing how much value one had accumulated with vendors was a matter of guesswork.
But on May 13th, Cryptic overhauled Memory Alpha. They streamlined the required materials for some items; they added component vendors and they implemented a dedicated crafting UI window. While players still collect combinations of materials in the same way, we are now the ones doing the crafting, which are known as Research and Development, or R&D. And even better, we can now track our progress through the system!
