}}The '''''Pathfinder''-class long-range science vessel''' is a modernized and specialized version of the [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class light explorer]], intended to handle scientific missions far from Federation space. Just as the ''Intrepid'' was intended as a smaller counterpart to the [[Galaxy Class|''Galaxy''-class explorer]], the ''Pathfinder'' is a smaller and much faster companion to the [[Sutherland Class|''Sutherland''-class research cruiser]]. Packed with the most advanced scientific equipment available, this nimble vessel brings bleeding-edge advancements to the darkest corners of the frontier.


== Science and Exploration ==
== 1 - Star Trek Online ==
The ''Pathfinder'' has the specialization of a science vessel with the extreme range of an explorer. Compared to the ''Intrepid'', she has a similar range but less endurance, as her smaller hull allows for fewer consumables or spare parts. A substantial portion of the primary hull's volume is taken up by the advanced secondary deflector array just forward of the bridge, which provides power and focusing ability to the ship's long-range sensors, space which is used for cargo storage and crew accommodations aboard the ''Intrepid.'' In effect, this means that the ''Pathfinder'' is often sent to chart a specific course or to investigate a narrow area, while an ''Intrepid'' is more capable of wandering for longer periods of time. This approach parallels the much larger [[Vesta Class|''Vesta''-class explorer]] which has a high top speed and is often sent out to answer a specific question rather to turn over every comet and asteroid in an area of space.


With more science labs than the [[Nova Class|''Nova'']] or [[Grissom Class|''Grissom]], the ''Pathfinder'''s primary limitation is its overall crew size, which is greater than either of these two small surveyors but reduced from the ''Intrepid.'' Unlike the ''Sutherland'', which is a university in space, the ''Pathfinder'' has focused and lean science departments. To keep their mission profiles versatile, these departments usually have just one specialist in each major area, but more generalists than ships of a similar assignment, allowing teams to shift to the appropriate discipline as necessary. Some vessels of this type are fitted out as extreme specialist units, though, with an entire crew dedicated to the study of one scientific area. Thanks to the modular nature of Starfleet vessels, a quick refit of the science labs could allow a ship of this class to be configured for archaeology, biology, or almost anything else on short notice. Given that this class has just entered service, though, there are still more generalist ''Pathfinders'' than specialist ''Pathfinders.''
# Bravo Fleet has officially supported in-game fleets for Star Trek Online (STO) on PC (both factions), on XBOX and on PlayStation (Federation Only), which provide members with various resources and perks.
# Members may also earn ribbons for STO gaming in factions or on platforms where Bravo Fleet does not maintain an official presence.


Unique to this class is a set of two bands of lateral sensors on the ventral side of the primary hull, which complement the band on the edge of the hull that is also found on other starship types. This extra surface area for scientific equipment makes it very easy to configure the Pathfinder for both its primary mission and to carry experiments and sensor pallets for secondary missions. The second and third bands also contain miniaturized deflector technology, which allows them to be used to focus on targets much further away than is normally possible with lateral sensors. The design of the main deflector also provides more space for mission-specific equipment.
=== 1.1 - STO In-Game Fleet Management ===


The ''Pathfinder'' carries a modest stock of probes but also has a dedicated probe fabrication lab, which allows new probes to be prototyped and deployed in the field. As on the ''Intrepid'', two doors on the ventral surface of the primary hull connect via shafts to labs within the interior of the saucer, allowing for the launch and retrieval of both probes and personnel in EV hardsuits.
# Bravo Fleet maintains fleets for the following factions/platforms:
## PC - Federation - ''Bravo Fleet''
## PC - Klingon - ''House of yo’ loS''
## PlayStation - Federation - ''Bravo Fleet''
## XBOX - Federation - ''Alteran Royal Navy Bravo Fleet''


== Diplomacy ==
# Members may join an in-game fleet with one or more in-game characters, also known as “alts” or “toons”, by requesting to do so in the Bravo Fleet Discord channel #sto-char-mgmt.
## Characters that do not log in at least once every six months will be removed from the in-game fleets to ensure there are enough slots for all members.
## Members who transfer to the Reserves voluntarily or through the AWOL process will have their characters removed from the in-game fleets.
## Character in-game biographies for STO characters are not required, but are encouraged.
# In-Game rank is based off of the rank achieved in Bravo Fleet, though it is not exact due to limitations of the game engine on providing only a set amount of ranks:
## All members will get promoted to a rank approximate to their BFMS ranking, with the following levels:
### Cadet/Bekk - Cadet ranks
### Junior Officer - Midshipman to Lieutenant
### Senior Officer - Lieutenant Commander to Fleet Captain
### Flag Officer - Commodore and Above
## As there is no automated connection to BFMS for ranks, the positions will be audited periodically to update listed ranks
### If there is a character of yours and you do not see the assigned promotion list please mention in #sto-char-mgmt
# Permissions for each in-game rank are assigned at the discretion of the Security Office, and all members have access to:
## Purchase from provisioned fleet stores and fleet shipyards
## Visit fleet holdings
## Invite non-members to fleet holdings
## Use of the Fleet Bank, the degree of which is determined based on rank


''Pathfinder''-class starships are not intended for significant diplomatic duties, but their nature as long-range starships means that they have been equipped for first contact missions. They have guest quarters and conference areas that can be configured to a wide variety of atmospheres and gravity levels, which allows them to accommodate most visitors with ease. For the most complex diplomatic assignments, they must rely on their holodecks to provide additional conference spaces. Generally, a ''Pathfinder'' captain is likely to only undertake a first contact mission if they are sure they have already been detected by a new race, as it would usually be better to summon a diplomatic ship to do so instead.
=== 1.2 - STO Awards ===


== Engineering ==
# Bravo Fleet uses the following awards in Star Trek Online:
## Campaign Ribbons
## Joint Action Ribbons
## Combat Action Ribbons


The resemblance between this class and the ''Intrepid'' is clear, as the ''Pathfinder'' was specifically ordered as a streamlined and modernized version of the older class, optimized for deep space science assignments. While her overall length remains roughly the same, the ''Pathfinder'' is four decks shorter than the ''Intrepid'' with a corresponding decrease in internal volume. All of the cargo holds from the primary hull were removed, and so cargo operations on the ''Pathfinder'' are centralized in a large set of cargo holds under the stern of the ship.  
=== 1.2.1 - STO Campaign Ribbons ===


Small craft facilities have also been shrunk, though the ''Pathfinder'' retains a docking cradle for an integrated runabout. This cradle is itself modular, and so captains may choose between an [[Aeroshuttle]] and a [[Waverider]] from amongst the standard offerings or other craft like a [[Captain's Yacht]]. In theory, this module could also be committed entirely in favor of a large piece of scientific equipment or additional fuel tanks, but this has not yet been tested.

Warp performance aboard the ''Pathfinder'' has been optimized with hull changes to enhance the integrity of the warp field, though this class retains the same basic design of warp engine developed for the ''Intrepid.'' With enhancements over the years, it now falls between the ''Intrepid'' and ''Vesta'' in terms of top speed. Because this design has been used for nearly 30 years, advances in automation have led to a smaller engineering staff, but it is still packed with enough cutting-edge technology and delicate systems to make it a challenge for any engineer. Unlike the ''Intrepid'', the ''Pathfinder'' only has a single matter/antimatter reaction assembly, i.e. warp core. The warp nacelles are articulated for variable geometry flight, raising for warp travel and lowering for impulse flight. The ''Pathfinder'' also has a set of two small impulse jets in the primary hull to enhance maneuverability.
==== 1.2.2 - STO Joint Action Ribbons ====


As with the ''Intrepid,'' the ''Pathfinder'' is capable of routine planetary landings.  
# Joint Action Ribbons for STO gaming are earned by playing Star Trek Online in a group of Bravo Fleet members against environments and sometimes players too.
# Activities include:
## Task Force Operations or Special Task Forces
## Patrols
## Red Alerts
## Daily missions
## Story missions
## Battlezones
# A qualifying submission for this award should contain a screenshot with proof that a qualifying action has been completed.
## Multiple actions of the same type should be submitted as a single submission whenever possible, as long as the same number of participants are in each instance.
## When submitting multiple screenshots of different types of content, each content type (Normal TFOs, Advanced TFOs, Story Missions, etc.) must be submitted separately.
## When submitting for battlezones, since this is a time-based submission, you must provide a screenshot of your start time in the battlezone and a screenshot of the end time. Rewards will be calculated at a rate of 4 Joint Action Ribbons per hour of game play, with one hour minimum being required for submission.  
# Joint Action Ribbons are awarded based on the following formula, where the multipliers change by the table below:
Number of Screenshots x Member Multiplier x Content Multiplier = Total Ribbons

Like the ''Intrepid,'' the ''Pathfinder'' is a well-armed vessel, as Starfleet recognizes the dangers faced by ships on long-distance missions. Any ''Pathfinder'' captain understands that they are often going to be weeks from assistance, so they must be prepared to defend themselves. To this end, the ''Pathfinder'' has thirteen Type-XII phaser arrays spread around the vessel to provide comprehensive phaser coverage. Two forward torpedo launchers flank the main deflector and two aft launchers are located just behind the bridge, as on the ''Intrepid.'' In addition, the ship has two pulse phaser cannons flanking the secondary deflector, as on the ''Vesta'', to give it enough of a bite to dissuade raiders. These cannons are easily brought to bear thanks to the ship's high degree of maneuverability.
==== 1.2.3 - STO Combat Action Ribbons ====


The ''Pathfinder'''s smaller size compared to the ''Intrepid'' means that it has lower overall fuel reserves and smaller reactors, meaning that its combat endurance is also more limited. While a dedicated tactical vessel like the [[Manticore Class|''Manticore''-class heavy escort]] could expect to go toe-to-toe with threats for many hours, a ''Pathfinder'' must strike quickly and cleanly before making its escape. Ships of this class just don't have the ability to wear an enemy ship down and need to get to safety before their own reserves are depleted. A favored tactic for this class is an alpha strike involving a full volley of from the phaser cannons with a spread of torpdoes designed to distract an enemy or stun them as the ''Pathfinder'' retreats.  
# Combat Action Ribbons in STO are awarded for any action that pits a player against another player, with two or more BF members taking part.
# Activities include:
## PvP Task Force Operations menu option under the minimap.
## Competitive Reputation TFOs
# A qualifying submission for this award should contain a screenshot with proof that a qualifying action has been completed, in this instance the final scoreboard at the end of the match.
# Combat Action Ribbons are awarded based on the following formula, where the multipliers change by the table below:
Number of Screenshots x Member Multiplier x Content Multiplier x Other Multiplier = Total Ribbons


Because of their advanced scientific systems, ''Pathfinder'' class ships can usually see threats from many lightyears away, which gives this class utility as a reconnaissance platform during tactical campaigns, but Starfleet is unlikely to commit a ship of this class to any serious or sustained combat operations, as they are too valuable for scientific purposes.

== Shipboard Life ==
== 2 - World of Warships ==


Accommodation standards aboard a ''Pathfinder'' are roughly equivalent to those aboard the ''Intrepid,'' though with several decades of minor improvements in terms of things like shipwide holographic projectors and higher fidelity replicators. The number few specialized recreation areas (like gyms or pools) has been reduced, meaning that the crew must rely on holographic recreation for physical fitness, but there are no less than five lounges with large windows spread across the ship for crew members to take in a meal or grab a drink. Somewhat oddly for a Starfleet ship, there are no lounges that face directly forwards, which is thanks to the ship's large secondary deflector. This means that the favored crew lounge for senior officers is often the aft lounge under the shuttlebay. Medical facilities are advanced but compact.
# Bravo Fleet has an officially supported presence on the North American PC server for World of Warships (WoWS), using the tag [4BF].
# Members may join the clan by searching for [4BF] or "4th Fleet - Bravo Fleet" and requesting to join in-game, or by requesting an invite on the Discord channel #worldofwarships-invites
# Members in the clan may contribute oil from crates to the fleet base.


''Pathfinder''-class ships are still cutting edge, and so they are a prime posting for any science officer or engineer. Pilots often are excited to join their ranks as well, given their high top speed at both warp and impulse. Command of a ''Pathfinder'' would be a serious feather in the cap of any officer, and this is not the type of assignment that generally falls to a green leader. Still few in number, these ships are assigned only to the most important scientific missions, which gives the ships an atmosphere of focus and seriousness, with excitement and tension at the prospect of finding something new bubbling under the surface. Crews aboard these ships also recognize that they are likely to be separated from their families for extended periods of time, so they savor the small windows they have of real-time connections with home.

The ''Pathfinder''-class design was ordered in tandem with the ''Sutherland''-class research vessel and was heavily influenced by the design of the ''Vesta''-class explorer, all of which debuted in the late 2390s. While the ''Intrepid''-class light explorer had served ably with a science bent for the past few decades, Starfleet wanted to take that design further to develop a pure science vessel using a similar space frame. This new design would use the same bleeding-edge equipment deployed on the ''Sutherland'' with the high top speed and tactical independence of the ''Vesta,'' at the expense of the ''Intrepid'''s ability to sustain long-duration missions and serve in a more generalist capacity.
=== 2.2 - World of Warships Awards ===


The design process continued throughout the 2390s, with ''Pathfinder'' herself beginning construction in 2395. The prototype was launched in 2398 while other units were brought online later in that year. Following shakedown cruises, the class formally entered service in 2400.

## Combat Action Ribbons
# Members may earn gaming ribbons for World of Warships if they are not in the in-game clan or on the NA server, but only on PC.
## The console version of World of Warships is a different game altogether with unique balancing and differing ship tiers; therefore it is not supported at this time.


== The ''Pathfinder'' In-Play ==
==== 2.2.1 - World of Warships Campaign Ribbons ====
* Outwardly resembling the ''Intrepid'' and using similar components, the ''Pathfinder'' is a more specialized vessel intended specifically for scientific missions far from home. Smaller and faster than the ''Sutherland'' and much more capable than the ''Nova'' and ''Grissom'', this ship rounds out Starfleet's scientific fleet.
 
* Compared to the Intrepid, this ship is smaller and slightly faster, but much less versatile.
# Campaign Ribbons for World of Warships gaming are earned by:
* This was a brand-new ship in 2400, so they are extremely rare still and command of one would be a significant achievement.
## Purchasing with Ship XP/Free XP and silver a Tier VI-X ship, once per country tech tree per tier, through regular means or an Early Access event.
### Ships purchased with Doubloons, coal, steel or real-world money may not be submitted for Campaign Ribbons.
## Purchasing with XP and silver a super ship marked with a star in a country's tech tree, which will award three Campaign Ribbons per ship earned.
# A qualifying submission for this award should contain a screenshot showing the country tech tree with the unlocked branch, with at least one of the branches showing either a checkmark or a silver currency value beside the one being submitted for in the country tree.
