Combat Training 14: Veteran is the last of the level 14 combat training missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. You defeat a single hostile captain at roughly 6,745 power, with warp 1 to start and finish and a recommended level of 1 listed by the game. The reward is 2,200 Dilithium, ten 30 Minute Speed Ups and 2 Vartoq shards. Finishing it unlocks Combat Training 15: Rookie and moves you on to the next level of the chain.
Combat Training 14: Veteran objectives
The story line is shared by every combat training mission: test your skills in battle against escalating difficulties of hostile enemies. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat the hostile captain. Enemy strength is roughly 6,745.
Unlike the Rookie and Soldier steps, which count any hostile of the right level, the Veteran step is a specific target. The mission assigns the hostile captain’s location when you take it on, so follow the mission marker to find it.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no fixed system. The warp listing is not a limit here; the captain’s strength is.
The recommended level is listed as 1. The hostile captain at about 6,745 power is the real test, and it is a noticeable step up from the level 13 captain.
Combat Training 14: Veteran rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 2,200 |
| 30 Minute Speed Up | 10 |
| Vartoq shards | 2 |
Completing the mission also unlocks Combat Training 15: Rookie.
Ten 30 Minute Speed Ups add up to five hours, which is the most useful line for most players at this stage.
How the Veteran captains scale
Each Veteran step is a hostile captain fight, and the captain’s strength climbs at every level. Current game data:
| Mission | Captain strength | Dilithium | Speed ups | Shards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combat Training 11: Veteran | About 2,905 | 800 | 10 × 15 Minute | 2 K’Bisch |
| Combat Training 12: Veteran | About 3,725 | 1,100 | 12 × 15 Minute | 3 Domitia |
| Combat Training 13: Veteran | About 5,263 | 1,600 | 8 × 30 Minute | 2 Komal |
| Combat Training 14: Veteran | About 6,745 | 2,200 | 10 × 30 Minute | 2 Vartoq |
| Combat Training 15: Veteran | About 9,404 | 3,000 | 12 × 30 Minute | 3 Rukor |
The captain gets about 28 percent stronger from level 13 to level 14, and about 39 percent stronger again at level 15. The rewards keep pace: more Dilithium and two extra speed ups at each step.
The level 14 steps together
The Soldier step before this one, Combat Training 14: Soldier, asks for 5 hostiles of level 14 or higher and pays 1,325 Dilithium, 9,500 Officer XP and 2 Vartoq shards. With the Veteran step that makes 4 Vartoq shards and 3,525 Dilithium for the pair.
Tips
Go in at full health. The captain is a single fight, but at around 6,745 power it hits harder than anything in the level 14 Soldier step.
Save the speed ups for building or research timers rather than burning them on short jobs. Previous mission: Combat Training 14: Soldier. Next mission: Combat Training 15: Rookie. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
