Officers #3: Top Tier Officers

Many of us have collected Officer Badges and Independent credits, they are for promoting Officers once enough shards are collected. For more ways of collecting badges, see Discovery #3 - Refinery

Some officers require more than Officer XP points to promote them. Some require credits from a faction, and when at a high enough level, a badge as well to achieve the next tier. Example: Epic Officer Gorkon requires 1000 Klingon Credits as well as Officer XP to be promoted to tier 2 (lvl 6-10). In the picture below, Otto requires independent credits (purchased at Augment Faction Store) to be promoted, and requires a class badge.

By focusing on a faction and redeeming for officer shards, eventually you will max the officer shards, and start collecting Officer XP, and Transporter Patterns. These can be redeemed for the Epic officer you really want, but cant get.
When you get a recruit shard for an officer that you have already maxed on shards, it is typically converted to Officer XP points. When higher (rare) officers are collected, transporter patterns get awarded which can be redeemed for an Epic Officer of your choice. Pay attention to the $5 and $20 Officer packs, as they will usually include loads of recruit tokens that helps to max out officers faster.

Once the Epic Officer of the faction you are collecting from is maxed, a massive amounts of Transport Patterns can be earned so you can level up another Epic officer of your choice.
By working on faction reputation, and redeeming for officers, you will eventually collect the maximum shards for those officers. Once you max the shards for an officer, it is converted into Officer XP (Uncommon), or Transporter Patterns (Rare and Epic).
