== Introduction ==
The '''USS ''Jaxartes''''' is a ''Raven''-class multi-mission light starship.


Visual spam in Star Trek Online can get to be a little much. It makes it hard to see certain actions within the game, and when people are running multiple things at once, it just gets to be impossible to see. An example is the Beacon of Kahless, the flash is completely blinding and while it is active you are flying blind - not to mention the time where it takes for your corneas to shift back to looking at a dark game afterwards.
=== Missions ===
'''Start-Up Problems''' - '''2393'''


Enter the console command.
A new batch of Ensigns gets assigned to the Raven-class vessel named USS Jaxartes. Their mission is to expand further exploration of the Typhon Frontier in areas that Starfleet designates as safe zones. Ensign Praugol, assigned to the USS Jaxartes as its designated Captain, finds itself with a ship half-ready for the long journey. She has to get the crew, the supplies, and the ship working again as Starfleet was on a tied budget when this was approved.


== The Command ==
=== Ship's Tour ===
====Captain's Ready Room====
The Captain's Ready Room, also known as the briefing room, can be found on deck two behind the bridge because the size of the [[Raven Class]] is a relatively small briefing room. In addition, it is located in the middle of the ship, meaning it has no outside view. However, Ensign Valerio installed a holographic window that gives a real-time exterior view. Ensign Valerio gave it as a birthday gift to his Captain. In addition, the ship has some plants that contribute to the liveliness of the room.


This is all based on a command that you would have to set up. The console command is:
The Captain's desk stands on the right side against the wall when entering the briefing room. It looks like a handcrafted table with the color of walnut brown, and it has grain patrons onto the wood to give uniqueness to the desk itself. The desk has two side drawers and a center drawer with a built-in holographic keyboard. When the center drawer is pulled out, the keyboard activates.


<code>dynFxExcludeFX</code>
On the desk, you will find a group picture of Ensign Praugol and her academy class of 2392. Some scientific accessories such as a Vulcan Dust Globe, a planet mug that shows Federation Founders' planets, and when heated, it offers more astronomic details of those planets. On the side, a Newton Cradle Balance stands that keeps ticking. On the wall, you will find the screen and on its sides two posters that can be changed to any galaxy or star system. Most of the accessories on the desk are there as presents for Sazra, though in her fair opinion, they should have a function, or they shouldn't belong on the desk at all.


This code above is meant to exclude selected visual effects in game, either from yourself or from others. This command can use any list you want to include afterwards, but you have to know the programmed name of the VFX you want to exclude. Using this as an example:
Praugol receives guests in the Briefing Room on her brown couch. She will sit most of the time in her desk chair and turns around to the guest to begin their conversation. A small round table between them can be used for drinks or for placing some PADDs.

====The Observation Lounge====
At the back of the ship, you will find the Observation Lounge on deck 2. When entering through a small door on the far right side (when coming from the bridge), you will see a long light-brown oak table on the left side, shaped in a stretch-out circle. The chairs are custom designed to those you will find in most Starfleet vessels. However, these chairs are also the same soft color as the table. In the middle of the table, you will find a holographic 3D device that can project any ship, planet, or astronomical object shown during a mission briefing.


This chunk of code would deactivate the VFX only for these powers:
On the wall, there are paintings of various famous exploration ships. One of those is the USS Enterprise. On the other side, you will find big windows that show the back of the ship and a great view of space itself. It is said that Ensign T'path was mostly found here, as it brought her calmness while practicing her Vulcan meditation. While on the floor before the window, you will find a classic earth-designed carpet with that dark red color.

* Beacon of Kahless flash
* Temporal Anchor (the red Gravity Well)

There is a complete list of all discovered VFX powers in game [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13SVBAgBMC9uVSJ2SIzBapIInCrDFpWiD here]. This would take some time to go through.
====Main Engineering====
From deck 1 to 3 you will find in the middle of the ship the heart of all its power, the main engineering. When entering the engineering, you will hear the humming and buzzing sound of the warp-core, like a purring little kitty. Within the engineering, you will find various tools and monitoring console to keep the flow of energy in control. Most of the ship had to be rebuilt, and the engineering was no exception from it, so even thought it is an aged ship that has seen quite a bit it has newer equipment.


Copy-pasting this into the console on every login is impractical, so there has to be a better way.

== Making a Keybind ==
{{clear}}
 
A keybind is well defined [https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Guide:_Keybinds here] already, but for the purpose of brevity as that document is very long, we will go over what you need to do in order to make one for just VFX spam. This will set it so that you only have to hit F9 in order to execute the command for disabling VFX.
 
First, open up Notepad and copy the following text into it:
 
<code>F9 "dynFxExcludeFX Cfx_Ships_Cp_T6_Risian_Science_Neutronic_Edides_Costumefx $$ dynFxExcludeFX Fx_Ships_Consoles_Cb21_Delphictear $$ dynFxExcludeFX Cfx_Ship_Cp_Cb27_Generate_Plasma_Storm_Costumefx $$ dynFxExcludeFX Fx_Er_Bbs_Beacon_Of_Kahless_Flash $$ dynFxExcludeFX Cfx_Ship_Trait_Temporal_Anchor_Costumefx $$ dynFxExcludeFX C1_E_Ship_Xindi_Lockboxcb15_Kemocite_Weaponry_Bufffx $$ dynFxExcludeFX Fx_Bop_Braceforimpact $$ dynFxExcludeFX Fx_Bop_Godownfighting $$ dynFxExcludeFX Cfx_Ship_Crewteam_Tacticalteam_Buff $$ dynFxExcludeFX Cfx_Ship_Sp_T6_Jellyfish_Cnidarian_Defense_Aoe $$ dynFxExcludeFX Fx_Bop_Photonicofficer_activate $$ PlayerSay Visual Spam Keybind Activated"</code>
 
Once done, save the file as something easy to remember, like "fxspamstop.txt". Once done, you want to move this file to the following path: <code>Star Trek Online_en\Star Trek Online\Live</code>. If you installed the game in a custom way, you may have to look for this folder. Steam users, it would be installed in a path that looks like this: <code>Steam\steamapps\common\Star Trek Online\Star Trek Online\Live</code>.
 
Once that is done, click in the chat box and type in <code>/bind_load_file fxspamstop.txt</code> and hit Enter. Once this command is accepted the visual FX spam will stop working once you hit F9 on any new character load. Please note that you may have to repeat this /bind_load_file command if the game goes through updates, but it should be persistent even after quitting and reloading for the most part.

The USS Jaxartes is a Raven-class multi-mission light starship.

Missions

Start-Up Problems - 2393

A new batch of Ensigns gets assigned to the Raven-class vessel named USS Jaxartes. Their mission is to expand further exploration of the Typhon Frontier in areas that Starfleet designates as safe zones. Ensign Praugol, assigned to the USS Jaxartes as its designated Captain, finds itself with a ship half-ready for the long journey. She has to get the crew, the supplies, and the ship working again as Starfleet was on a tied budget when this was approved.

Ship's Tour

Captain's Ready Room

The Captain's Ready Room, also known as the briefing room, can be found on deck two behind the bridge because the size of the Raven Class is a relatively small briefing room. In addition, it is located in the middle of the ship, meaning it has no outside view. However, Ensign Valerio installed a holographic window that gives a real-time exterior view. Ensign Valerio gave it as a birthday gift to his Captain. In addition, the ship has some plants that contribute to the liveliness of the room.

The Captain's desk stands on the right side against the wall when entering the briefing room. It looks like a handcrafted table with the color of walnut brown, and it has grain patrons onto the wood to give uniqueness to the desk itself. The desk has two side drawers and a center drawer with a built-in holographic keyboard. When the center drawer is pulled out, the keyboard activates.

On the desk, you will find a group picture of Ensign Praugol and her academy class of 2392. Some scientific accessories such as a Vulcan Dust Globe, a planet mug that shows Federation Founders' planets, and when heated, it offers more astronomic details of those planets. On the side, a Newton Cradle Balance stands that keeps ticking. On the wall, you will find the screen and on its sides two posters that can be changed to any galaxy or star system. Most of the accessories on the desk are there as presents for Sazra, though in her fair opinion, they should have a function, or they shouldn't belong on the desk at all.

Praugol receives guests in the Briefing Room on her brown couch. She will sit most of the time in her desk chair and turns around to the guest to begin their conversation. A small round table between them can be used for drinks or for placing some PADDs.

The Observation Lounge

At the back of the ship, you will find the Observation Lounge on deck 2. When entering through a small door on the far right side (when coming from the bridge), you will see a long light-brown oak table on the left side, shaped in a stretch-out circle. The chairs are custom designed to those you will find in most Starfleet vessels. However, these chairs are also the same soft color as the table. In the middle of the table, you will find a holographic 3D device that can project any ship, planet, or astronomical object shown during a mission briefing.

On the wall, there are paintings of various famous exploration ships. One of those is the USS Enterprise. On the other side, you will find big windows that show the back of the ship and a great view of space itself. It is said that Ensign T'path was mostly found here, as it brought her calmness while practicing her Vulcan meditation. While on the floor before the window, you will find a classic earth-designed carpet with that dark red color.

Back at the entree on the right, you will find a corner for one person to sit and relax. Dr. Ruslanovna has the hobby of creating something of every mission in the form of a beautiful painting. It is in this corner that these small paintings are hanging.

Main Engineering

From deck 1 to 3 you will find in the middle of the ship the heart of all its power, the main engineering. When entering the engineering, you will hear the humming and buzzing sound of the warp-core, like a purring little kitty. Within the engineering, you will find various tools and monitoring console to keep the flow of energy in control.
