Battleship is an early tutorial-style mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about your first Battleship hull, the Orion Corvette. The story line asks you to research the Orion Corvette ship design, and the single objective is to unlock the Orion Corvette Blueprints. It starts and finishes at warp 1, and the game lists a recommended level of 5. The reward is 350 Tritanium, which goes a long way toward building the ship itself. With no fight and no travel, it is worth finishing straight away.
Battleship objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Unlock the Orion Corvette Blueprints.
No system is named and nothing needs to be fought. Despite the mission’s name, the task is about one specific ship: the Orion Corvette, whose hull type is Battleship.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start, warp 1 to complete, and no pickup system. Everything happens on your station.
The recommended level is 5. That lines up with the ship itself, since building the Orion Corvette needs Shipyard level 5.
Battleship rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 350 |
Completing it unlocks the next mission, Corvette, whose story line is to build the ship.
The Orion Corvette at a glance
Current ship data for the Orion Corvette:
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Hull type | Battleship |
| Faction | Independent |
| Grade and rarity | Grade 1, Common |
| Max tier and level | Tier 4, level 20 |
| Blueprints to build | 15 |
| Build requirements | Shipyard 5 and one research at level 1 |
| Build cost and time | 800 Tritanium, 50 minutes |
| Tier 1 warp range and cargo | 5, 1,000 |
| Tier 1 shield and hull HP | 120, 100 |
Its ability, Enhanced Hull, adds to the ship’s maximum Hull Health, starting at +10 at ship level 1 and reaching +110 at level 20. The in-game description calls it a nimble Orion smuggling ship that can still hold its own in a firefight. At tier 1 its warp range of 5 keeps it to systems near your station.
How this mission fits the early ship missions
Battleship is one step in a short run of early missions around the Orion Corvette. The mission that follows it, Corvette, carries the story line of building the Orion Battleship, and a separate build mission pays Recruit Tokens once the ship exists:
| Mission | Task | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Battleship | Unlock the Orion Corvette Blueprints | 350 Tritanium |
| The Orion Corvette | Build the Orion Corvette | 20 Recruit Token |
The 350 Tritanium from Battleship covers a little under half of the 800 Tritanium the Orion Corvette costs to build, so it feeds straight into the next step.
Tips
Keep the Tritanium for the build. At this stage Tritanium is scarce, and the Orion Corvette needs 800 of it.
Check your Shipyard level. Shipyard 5 is required to build the ship, which is the next mission after this one.
Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
