The Big Book of Behold Advice v2.0
Video breakdown here
The Big Book 2.0 has only been made possible due to the awesome work of @NoNameNamer . BB2 is bigger and bookier thanks to his efforts. Huge thank you to him and to all the friends who have helped out along the way.
Please note that this is not a finished product. There will be adjustments to the existing systems and grades and we have many more ideas and features yet to implement such as cadets, behold comparisons, tier presets, event helper, and more.
You can reach us with questions, comments, and suggestions in the Big Book channel of the Timelines Talks Discord Server. You'll find bot support there for new crew, updates to The Book, and a friendly community of Timelines players. Thanks to everyone who's reached out in the past with kind words. ❤

First look at it and I just know I'll use this all the time.
Guys, this is absolutely huge! You should have called it Biggest Book of Behold Advice, my only complaint
Honestly this is my favourite part, custom tiering
It’s becoming my fav part too.
Awesome work guys! Huge contribution to the community
- Skill search change: cmd|dip|sec is now equivalent to searching cmd dip sec, i.e. a skill set/triplet
- Voyage data on crew pages now contains additional links to search queries that filter on that particular skill set or skill order, and voyage trait where applicable.
- The voyage trait link now also filters on skill set
- Fixed Janeway variants getting credit for the entire Survivalist mega when only Determined Janeway had a bonus
- Fixed gauntlet evaluation for 1-skill crew (Scott, Tribble, Bones and Chapel)
- Fixed display issue in Safari on Mac (awaiting verification)
Changes to captain rankings:
- Added additional brackets to facilitate differentiation and better marry current reward structure with past ones
- Added per year rankings in addition to the all-time ranking
- The all-time and current year rankings are the only ones that show rank changes based on last event results
You can follow updates in real-time in the Big Book channel over on the Timelines Talks Discord server linked in the OP.
We're not affiliated with DataCore, but they do borrow some of our work such as tier, crew note, event count, etc. I'd say we have a friendly relationship with their admins and we both want to provide useful resources for the players.
For regular BB updates, tier changelogs, stat changes, event leaderboard updates, help with BB's powerful search capabilities or for any question you might have, please join us on Discord.
This means that if you have ever stopped playing an account that ranked in top 100 at any point in time and you have moved on to a brand-new account, we can merge the two account's event histories to better reflect your event ranking performance. There is currently no limit to how many accounts can be merged this way. Alt accounts, by definition, are played at the same time with a main account and thus cannot be merged out of fairness to others.
You can make account merge requests on Discord.
Note that if a supposedly abandoned account starts ranking in top 100 again, the system will automatically undo the merge as the account is effectively considered an alt.
While I'm here, the forum link at the bottom of the BigBook website still points to the old forums.
And thanks for the link pointer.
Intro vrank should also be visible very soon.
e.g. the lowest 3 rarities are selected here
- The ship battle table has a `cycle` and `uptime` column. Passives have been removed and the values can be found in the expanded row section (alongside charge phases info.)
- Search keywords specific to the ship battle table can now be used with comparison operators (<, >, =, >=, <=). The `:` operator is still supported and is functionally equivalent to `=`. Added the `cycle` and `uptime` search keywords.
- The question mark button now links to the search help page instead of showing a popup.
- Fixed named trait searches (e.g. *augment* and *augments*, *kca* and *klingon-cardassian alliance* yield the same results, respectively.)
- Fixed Badgey variants not being listed.
Most search keywords have abbreviations. See the search help page for the full list.
Head over to our Discord if you need help building queries for what you need.
e.g. of a query: 400%+ instant damage, no limit, no cloak trigger, cycle of 16s or less
More examples:
Percent of the cycle time that the ability is active. Probably not as important a measure for Instant Damage/Repair abilities, but very useful to know for stat boosts.
Ov (Overall) | Vo (Voyage) | Fa (Faction) | Ga (Gauntlet)
Sb (Ship Battle) | Bt (Boss Battle Traits) | Co (Collection) | (Cd (Cadet)
Not much what's Uptime with you....
...sorry
