* EnoughToGoAround: The game subverts this in quest pickups by using {{Event Flag}}s instead of inventory items for most things mission-critical. It then plays it entirely straight with certain items tagged as "Unique"--meaning every player gets to own exactly one of each.

** Promo art for the second expansion ''Delta Rising'' played this straight again. [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/startrek/images/4/49/Delta_Rising_3_caps.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150118000517 This wallpaper]] features a hot female Romulan in a SpyCatsuit, a hot blonde Liberated Borg Starfleet officer in tactical greys, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and a big, burly Klingon with a bat'leth]]. Though the Romulan at least bears some resemblance to Commander Mena, the Romulan mission giver for much of ''DR'''s storyline.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the debriefing following the completion of 'Cutting the Cord', Temek and T'nae each tell the KDF & Fed players that "the return of the Iconians could change everything". Cue 'Surface Tension' and 'Uneasy Allies'...

** There are many hints during "Coliseum" that [[spoiler:Slamek]] isn't what he seems. He knows exactly what to do to escape, exactly which way to flee in a wilderness where he shouldn't know, and finally claims to see the smoke of the crashed ship well before he actually could.

Added DiffLines:

* CanonMarchesOn: The backstory of the game, post-''Film/StarTrekNemesis'', is a synthesis of the ''Literature/StarTrekNovelverse'' and the tie-in comics to ''Film/StarTrek2009''. Cryptic incorporated some of the new wave of ''Trek'' TV shows into its canon when they came out, but couldn't do much with ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' since its backstory directly contradicts the preexisting game canon in multiple major ways. After the series came out, Cryptic declared the game an AlternateContinuity.

** The triple laser grid used in the dilithium mining minigame is based on the laser drills seen in the mines of Rura Penthe (''Film/StarTrekVI'').

* ForWantOfANail: The events of "Butterfly" show four different scenarios:
** The first scenario, made by removing certain stars to allow a rogue planet cause a natural disaster on Iconia, the three major powers would end up being weakened by conflicts to allow the Dominion to take over.
** The second scenario, made by preventing the ''Voyager'' from discovering the Vaadwaur, would have the Iconians recruit the Hierarchy instead, shattering the Delta Alliance.
** The third scenario, made by preventing the U.S.S. ''Yamato'' from discovering Iconia, brought back Romulus and was about to lead to the creation of the Romulan Republic, even with the Borg nipping at their heels. [[spoiler:They choose this one, only to find out, ''whoops'', the Borg have ''assimilated'' Romulus.]]

Noye is unlikely to be Future Guy because Future Guy's faction was opposed to the Sphere Builders in Enterprise, while Noye was allied with them.


*** The Temporal Liberation Front is led by a rogue Krenim scientist named Noye, who is the true identity of the mysterious "Future Guy" from Enterprise. The Front is an alliance of various time-traveling enemies from different series including the Krenim, the Vorgons, the Na'Kuhl, the Sphere Builders, and the Terran Empire led by Mirror!Leeta.

** One of the Krenim hates all Alpha and Beta Quadrant races, referring to them as "The Voyagers", even if they weren't part of ''Voyager''. In fact, it gets so bad that Seven of Nine quits the team working on [[spoiler:the Temporal Warship]] because he refuses to listen to any of their concerns.

** The seven destroyer-class ships that are given out as bonuses for buying a lifetime subscription all have moving parts that change configuration based on two flight modes.
** The Avenger- and Arbiter-class battlecruisers have armored shutters that close over the viewports, windows, and warp nacelles when the ship goes to Red Alert.

Crosswicking new trope

Added DiffLines:

* TheGreatExterminator: There are titles granted for defeating specific numbers of enemy races or factions, such as Cardassians, Klingon, Borg, etc. For example, defeating 10,000 Starfleet officers in ground combat will reward the "Scourge of the Federation" title.

Added DiffLines:

** Played frustratingly straight in one of the task force operations, when you must protect some troop transports on their way to a planet. Hazards include enemy "radiation gateways"; these are such that the players can easily go under or over the radiation coming from them, yet the transport pilots fly straight and level, getting their ships fried unless the players disperse the gateways for them.
