Combat Training 2: Veteran is the last of the level 2 combat training missions in Star Trek Fleet Command, and one of the first combat missions a new player finishes. You defeat five hostiles of level 2 or higher, anywhere you find them. It starts and finishes at warp 1 with no pickup system, and pays 12 Dilithium and four 1 Minute Speed Ups. The rewards are small, but it moves you on to level 3, where the combat training missions start paying officer shards.
Combat Training 2: Veteran objectives
The story line is shared by the whole combat training series: test yourself against hostiles of rising difficulty. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat 5 Level 2 or higher hostiles.
No system is named and no specific enemy is listed, so any hostile at level 2 or above counts. Unlike most later Veteran tiers, which ask you to beat a single hostile captain, this one is a straight kill count.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. Level 2 hostiles are early-game targets, so there is no extra range to plan for.
The game lists a recommended level of 1.
Combat Training 2: Veteran rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 12 |
| 1 Minute Speed Up | 4 |
Completing this mission unlocks Combat Training 3: Rookie.
The first combat training levels
Combat training runs Rookie, Soldier and Veteran at each level. The early tiers pay very little, then officer shards appear from level 3:
| Mission | Objective | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Training 1: Soldier | 3 hostiles of level 1+ | 3 Dilithium, 50 Officer XP |
| Combat Training 2: Rookie | 1 hostile of level 2+ | 2 Dilithium |
| Combat Training 2: Veteran | 5 hostiles of level 2+ | 12 Dilithium, 4 1 Minute Speed Ups |
| Combat Training 3: Rookie | 1 hostile of level 3+ | 8 Dilithium, 1 Next Gen Troi shard |
| Combat Training 3: Soldier | 3 hostiles of level 3+ | 12 Dilithium, 200 Officer XP, 1 Next Gen Troi shard |
| Combat Training 4: Soldier | 3 hostiles of level 4+ | 19 Dilithium, 350 Officer XP, 1 Next Gen La Forge shard |
| Combat Training 5: Rookie | 1 hostile of level 5+ | 24 Dilithium, 1 Next Gen Riker shard |
Level 2 Veteran pays the most of the level 1 and 2 tiers, and it is the step right before the shard rewards begin. Levels 3, 4 and 5 hand out shards for Next Gen Troi, Next Gen La Forge and Next Gen Riker.
Tips
Finish it as part of your first hostile fights. Five level 2+ kills come quickly, and there is no reason to hold the mission open.
Use the 1 Minute Speed Ups on your first building timers. At this stage many upgrades take only a few minutes, so four of them can finish a build outright.
Push straight on to level 3. The Troi shards from Combat Training 3 are the first officer rewards in the series.
The mission before this one is Combat Training 2: Soldier. The full series is on the combat training missions page.
