Acquiring Capital is a Federation story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you gather raw materials for the new Andorian settlement on Valo. It is a mining mission rather than a combat one: you mine 2,500 each of 4★ Raw Ore, Crystal and Raw Gas, then deliver them to Valo in the Kri system. It needs warp 105 to complete. The reward is 35 4★ Rare Refined Gas, 35 4★ Rare Refined Ore and a large Federation reputation gain, and it unlocks the next mission.
Acquiring Capital objectives
Four objectives, no choice split:
- Mine 2,500 4★ Raw Ore.
- Mine 2,500 4★ Crystal.
- Mine 2,500 4★ Raw Gas.
- Deliver the materials to the Andorians on Valo. Location: Kri.
The first three steps are pure mining, 7,500 units of 4★ material in total. No mining system is named, so you can use any node that gives the right resource. Once all three counts are done, you fly the materials to Valo in Kri. No hostile appears anywhere in the mission.
Where and what warp
There is no pickup system and the mission can be accepted from warp 1. Completing it needs warp 105 to reach Kri. The game lists a recommended level of 1. The real requirements are a miner that can work 4★ nodes and a ship with warp 105 range for the delivery.
Acquiring Capital rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 4★ Rare Refined Gas | 35 |
| 4★ Rare Refined Ore | 35 |
| Federation Credits | 600 |
| Federation Points | 311,000 |
| Klingon Points | -481,428 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next mission, A Chance Encounter.
The reputation lines work against each other. You gain 311,000 Federation Points and lose 481,428 Klingon Points, so the Klingon loss is the larger number.
Other missions in the Kri system
Several missions at this warp range send you to Kri. Current game data for some of them:
| Mission | Warp to complete | What stands out | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acquiring Capital | 105 | 7,500 4★ raw materials mined, no fight | 35 each of 4★ Rare Refined Gas and Ore, Federation reputation |
| A Chance Encounter | 110 | Suliban Scout (about 1,075,836), 90M Parsteel donation | 26 4★ Rare Battleship Parts, 190 4★ Uncommon Battleship Parts |
| The Andorian Plague | 105 | Visits Kri | 370 Ultra Recruit Tokens, 700 4★ Common Battleship Parts, Federation reputation |
| Memory Loss | 105 | Visits Kri | 160 Premium Recruit Tokens, 390 4★ Common Battleship Parts, Federation reputation |
Acquiring Capital is the only mission in this group with no combat at all, and the only one paying Rare refined resources. A Chance Encounter follows it with the opposite shape: a fight and a very large Parsteel donation.
Tips
Split the mining between ships if you can. The three counts are separate objectives with separate resources, so if you have several miners, putting them on different 4★ nodes lets the three counts progress side by side.
Start saving Parsteel now. A Chance Encounter asks for a 90 million Parsteel donation straight after this, and it is easier to prepare while your miners are busy here.
Check your Klingon standing before you finish. Losing over 480,000 Klingon Points is a big hit if you rely on Klingon faction access.
Previous mission: Forced into Hiding. Next mission: A Chance Encounter. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
