Chroniton

Chronitons

Chronitons are a kind of energy used to play missions in Star Trek Timelines. They are exchanged for Away Missions and Space Battle Missions. Each mission and level have a pre-determined number of chronitons needed to execute (minimum 4, max 24, currently). If no chronitons are available, a mission cannot start.

Many screens in the game will display how many chronitons are available and the total amount that can be stored, in the format of (usable/max).

Earning Chronitons

Chronitons can be earned by:

• Passage of time: A countdown timer of 6 minutes per chroniton is set in the game.
• Chroniton Boost: Collect 20 at any of 3 specified times during the day (12:00pm, 6:00pm, and 9:00pm local time)
• Cadet Challenges: Missions available on certain days that use tickets to reward chronitons.
• Daily Missions and Fleet Targets: several objectives for a potential total of 150.
• Gauntlet rewards: each reward has a chance of awarding between 20 and 100.
• Voyages: Chronitons are part of the reward table of Voyages. Before the first Dilemma players might receive batches of 3; between the first and third dilemma they have a chance to receive batches of 8, and from the third dilemma onwards players might receive batches of 15, meaning that long voyages can return with hundreds of chronitons. Additionally, Dilemmas also reward chronitons, usually 30.
• Purchase: One complete recharge (equal to your maximum storage capacity) in exchange for 150 (dilithium). Limited to three times per day.
• Captain Leveling: When you attain sufficient Captain XP to level up, you will automatically receive a chroniton boost equal to the chroniton storage capacity at your new level.

Keeping chronitons below the max (so that they will always recharge), it is possible to collect up to 300 each day for free (24x10 from recharge, 3x20 from boosts).

Chroniton Boost times during local Standard time:

• 11:00 - 13:00
• 17:00 - 19:00
• 20:00 - 22:00

Chroniton Boost times during local Daylight Savings time:

• 12:00 - 14:00
• 18:00 - 20:00
• 21:00 - 23:00

Chronitons are sometimes supplied to players as free gifts in their message inbox. The largest such chroniton gifts have often been delivered as compensation with some apology from Disruptor Beam after an unfortunate incident on their part, leading to the coining of the term Sorryton.

Chroniton Capacity

There is a hard limit on how many chronitons can be stored without side effects. It is influenced by Captain Level (from 30 to 150 stored), by the Transporter Room of the player's Fleet's Starbase (up to 30) and by completing Collections (up to 24), meaning a theoretical total of 204 stored.

If a player has exceeded their capacity, chronitons will stop recharging (i.e. no new chroniton every six minutes). However, chronitons obtained from other sources (Chroniton Boosts, Cadet Missions, Daily Targets, Voyages, etc...) can be added in excess of the rechargeable limit. The chroniton count number will turn green when the chroniton count exceeds the number eligible for auto-replenishment. A player can keep accumulating chronitons through these other means, and there is no known limit to the amount of chronitons that can be kept.
