A Friendly Reminder is a single mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you establish an alliance with the Corvallens. It can be picked up at warp 1 and needs warp 15 to finish, with stops in Eisenhorn, Aesuri and Vemet. Along the way you donate 10,000 Tritanium, pay 2,000 Dilithium to Corvallen pirates, and finish with a fight against a Klingon Vanguard at about 37,700 strength. The reward is 12 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore and 4 3★ Common Refined Gas.
A Friendly Reminder objectives
There are six objectives and no choice split:
- Meet with the Corvallen fleet in Eisenhorn. Location: Eisenhorn.
- Provide 10,000 Tritanium to aid the Corvallen war effort.
- Recruit the Corvallen mercenaries. Location: Aesuri.
- Seek out the Corvallen pirate fleets on Vemet. Location: Vemet.
- Pay the Corvallen pirates 2,000 Dilithium for their services.
- Defeat the Klingon Vanguard. Location: Vemet. Enemy strength is roughly 37,726.
The mission builds a coalition one group at a time. You meet the Corvallen fleet in Eisenhorn and back their war effort with Tritanium, recruit mercenaries in Aesuri, then find the pirate fleets in Vemet and pay them in Dilithium. With everyone on side, the last step is the fight against the Klingon Vanguard in Vemet. There is no return-to-station step.
Where and what warp
A Friendly Reminder has no named pickup system and can be picked up at warp 1. Completing it takes warp 15, which covers Eisenhorn, Aesuri and Vemet.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. The Klingon Vanguard at about 37,726 strength is the only fight, and the two payments are the other things to prepare for.
A Friendly Reminder rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore | 12 |
| 3★ Common Refined Gas | 4 |
Completing this mission unlocks the next mission, Interference.
Cost against payout
Over the course of the mission you spend 10,000 Tritanium and 2,000 Dilithium, and you get back 12 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore and 4 3★ Common Refined Gas. The rewards are refined materials rather than raw resources, so whether the trade is worth it depends on whether refined ore or Tritanium is the tighter bottleneck on your station.
Where it sits in the story
The mission before this one is What They Don’t Know Will Hurt Them, where you deal with a witness. That mission needs warp 13 and has two fights near 37,000 strength on one path, so a ship that won those fights is ready for the Klingon Vanguard here.
What They Don’t Know Will Hurt Them splits into two paths. One destroys the witness and pays 117,000 Parsteel and 3,500 Dilithium. The other pays 2,000 Dilithium for the witness’s silence and rewards 6 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore and 80 3★ Interceptor Parts.
Tips
Have both payments ready before you set out. The 10,000 Tritanium comes second and the 2,000 Dilithium comes fifth, and each one blocks the steps after it.
Bring a combat ship for the last leg. The Klingon Vanguard is the final objective, in Vemet, right after the Dilithium payment.
More missions at this range are on the mission guide.
