Swap Power Presets

Switches between attack and defence power settings. Engineering captains flip between these constantly, and doing it through the power slider costs seconds you do not have.

Where to paste this

Type /bind KEY "command" in chat to attach a command to a key.
Chain with $$ — /bind space "+TrayExecByTray 0 0 $$ +TrayExecByTray 0 1".
Use +TrayExecByTray <tray> <slot>, both counted from zero, to fire a specific ability.
Save everything with /bind_save_file mybinds.txt, which writes to your Star Trek Online Live folder.
Reload it on any character with /bind_load_file mybinds.txt.

More STO macros

Engineering macros first, then the rest of the STO library.

Alpha Strike
Tactical
```
/bind t "team Alpha strike $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 0 $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 1 $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 2"
```
Fires your damage cooldowns together and announces it. Tactical burst windows are short and stack multiplicatively, so opening with half of them is close to wasting all of them.
Attack Pattern Rotation
Tactical
```
/bind space "+power_exec Distribute_Shields $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 3 $$ +TrayExecByTray 0 0"
```
Chains your attack patterns onto the main firing key so they refresh whenever they come up. Attack patterns are short enough that manual tracking always loses uptime.
Bind a Command to a Key
General
```
/bind numpad4 "say Engaging"
```
The foundation of every bind in this library. The key comes first, the command goes in quotes, and anything you can type into chat can be attached this way.
Call It Out and Fire It
General
```
/bind h "team Heals incoming $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 0"
```
Chains a team message onto an ability so your group sees the call the instant it goes out. Used for heals, tanking cooldowns and anything the rest of the team needs to react to.
Create a Named Alias
General
```
/alias camp "logout"
```
Aliases live in CommandAliases.txt in your Live folder and let you wrap a long chain behind a short name. Essential once your binds get long enough to be unreadable.
Distribute Shield Power
General
```
/bind space "+TrayExecByTray 0 0 $$ +power_exec Distribute_Shields"
```
Balances shields across all four facings. It has no cooldown, so it belongs in every attack bind you own — the difference between a captain who does this constantly and one who does not is enormous.
Emergency Repair Chain
Engineering
```
/bind e "+TrayExecByTray 1 0 $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 1 $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 2 $$ +power_exec Distribute_Shields"
```
Runs every hull and shield heal you have in one press. Anything on cooldown is skipped, so this reliably fires whichever repair is actually available when you are about to explode.
Miracle Worker with Warning
Engineering
```
/bind y "team Miracle Worker up $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 3"
```
Your big heal plus the announcement, so healers on your team know they can hold theirs. Miracle Worker has a long cooldown and overlapping it with a team heal wastes both.
