Combat Training 45: Rookie is the first of the level 45 Combat Training missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. The task is to defeat three level 45 hostiles, anywhere you can find them. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 10,200,000 Dilithium and 5 Gorkon shards, and finishing it unlocks Combat Training 45: Soldier. For three fights, the Gorkon shards make it an easy mission to prioritise if you are building toward that officer.
Combat Training 45: Rookie objectives
Every Combat Training mission shares the story line of testing your skills in battle against escalating difficulties of hostile enemies. This one has one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat 3 Level 45 hostiles.
No location or enemy strength is given. The objective asks for level 45 hostiles, so you pick where to hunt them.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system.
The recommended level is listed as 1. The real requirement is a ship that can reach systems with level 45 hostiles and beat three of them.
Combat Training 45: Rookie rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 10,200,000 |
| Gorkon shards | 5 |
Completing the mission also unlocks Combat Training 45: Soldier.
How the Rookie tier changes through the forties
The Rookie missions in the forties all ask for three kills and pay Dilithium plus Gorkon shards. Current game data:
| Mission | Objective | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Training 41: Rookie | Defeat 3 Level 41 hostiles | 3,009,000 Dilithium, 3 Gorkon shards |
| Combat Training 45: Rookie | Defeat 3 Level 45 hostiles | 10,200,000 Dilithium, 5 Gorkon shards |
| Combat Training 48: Rookie | Defeat 3 Level 48 hostiles | 18,600,000 Dilithium, 7 Gorkon shards |
The Gorkon shard count climbs from 3 at level 41 to 7 at level 48, and the Dilithium more than triples between levels 41 and 45.
The Soldier tier in the forties follows its own pattern: five kills, Dilithium, Premium Recruit Tokens, Officer XP and Nero shards. Combat Training 41: Soldier pays 3,386,000 Dilithium, 800 Premium Recruit Tokens, 368,000 Officer XP and 3 Nero shards, and Combat Training 48: Soldier pays 20,925,000 Dilithium, 1,150 Premium Recruit Tokens, 475,000 Officer XP and 7 Nero shards.
The Veteran tier at level 45
The level 45 set ends with Combat Training 45: Veteran, a very different test. It asks you to defeat a hostile captain at about 5,867,534 strength and pays 19,125,000 Dilithium, fourteen 1 Day Speed Ups, 2,100 Ultra Recruit Tokens and 5 James T. Kirk shards.
Rookie is three ordinary level 45 fights; Veteran is one fight against a much stronger captain. If Veteran is out of reach for now, Rookie still pays well on its own.
Tips
Hunt the easiest level 45 hostiles in range. The objective accepts any level 45 hostile, so there is no bonus for picking a harder target.
Soldier is next. It unlocks as soon as Rookie completes. Combat Training 44: Veteran comes before this mission in the chain. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
