View source for Cadet Challenges

Cadet Challenges are a feature in Star Trek Timelines that use [[Cadets]] ([[Common]] {{stars|1}} and [[Uncommon]] {{stars|2}} [[crew]] members. Structured similarly to [[away missions]], they offer a chance to earn [[chroniton|chronitons]] and other rewards. <ref>https://www.disruptorbeam.com/forums/stt/viewthread/50682/</ref> Cadet Challenges require [[Tickets]] to play. 

Also, [[Captain level]] 10 is required.

==Rules==
* Cadet Challenges are active every day of the week, and the UI lets you check the schedule.
* Starting one Challenge mission costs one [[Tickets|ticket]]. Every player is given 6 tickets per day, and have to either wait for a new day to receive 6 more, or buy additional tickets for dilithium {{currency|dil}}.
* You can start one Challenge mission every three minutes. The cooldown starts at the beginning of the mission, not the end.
* Only [[common]] {{stars|1}} and [[uncommon]] {{stars|2}} [[crew]] can participate. In addition, only crew with a certain trait or description can participate (for instance, [[Starfleet]]-only).

==Notes==
* Due to the restrictions to crew, it is possible not to have suitable crew for every trait and skill.
* Do not take traits for granted. For instance, despite serving on a Starfleet ship, [[Dr Phlox]] and [[Seven of Nine]] are not Starfleet, and cannot participate in [[Ex Astris, Scientia]].

==Crew==
* Only common {{stars|1}} and uncommon {{stars|2}} crew can participate. However, common crew can't usually pass Epic difficulty missions, making uncommon crew much better.
* The following uncommon {{stars|2}} crew can be used in all challenges (being non-human Starfleet women): [[Cadet Sito Jaxa]], [[Ensign Ro]], [[Ensign Pazlar]], [[Ensign Seska]], [[Festive Jadzia Dax]], and [[Lt Naomi Wildman]].
* The following common {{stars|1}} crew can likewise be used in all challenges: [[Chief Engineer Torres]] and [[Lt Jadzia Dax]].
* For a minimum size cadet crew of three to get you through the weekdays, use [[Festive Jadzia Dax]] and [[Ensign Seska]], along with either [[Cadet Sito Jaxa]] for CMD, which will cover all skills except MED, or alternately, use [[CMO Crusher]] for MWTF, switching to [[Nurse Kes]] for Tuesday MED, and this will cover all but CMD.  Each trio will allow you to do different missions depending on your preferences.
* The following crew can't be currently used in any Cadet Challenge (being non-alien non-Starfleet men): [[Boomer Mayweather]], [[Maquis Chakotay]] and [[Wesley Crusher]].
* See list of all [[Cadets]].
