Armed for Science is a KSG mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you buy weapons for KSG Security. It is picked up in Pterodasia and needs warp 285 to start and complete. You find an arms dealer in Scanlon, pay 140M Tritanium for the weapons and deliver them to Seretos. There is no fight. The reward is 170 5★ Uncommon Refined Crystal and a KSG Datapad, plus Klingonisch standing, so the Tritanium bill is the only real hurdle.
Armed for Science objectives
The story line is to acquire weaponry for KSG Security. There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Find the arms dealer. Location: Scanlon.
- Donate 140M Tritanium for the weapons.
- Return the weapons to the KSG. Location: Seretos.
The donation step has no location, so you can pay as soon as you have met the dealer. After that, the mission ends with the delivery to Seretos.
Wo und welcher Warp
Armed for Wissenschaft is picked up in Pterodasia and needs warp 285 to start and to complete.
The listed recommended level is 1. There are no hostiles, so warp 285 and the 140M Tritanium are what you need.
Armed for Science rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| 5★ Uncommon Refined Crystal | 170 |
| KSG Datapad | 1 |
| Klingon Credits | 800 |
| Klingon Points | 2,000,000 |
| Romulanisch Punkte | -3,888,000 |
The negative Romulan Points figure is standard for KSG missions. The Fraktionsruf page covers how the two standings interact.
KSG missions with a payment step
Several KSG missions ask you to pay Ressourcen as one of the objectives. Here is how Armed for Science compares with three others that include a payment, each also paying 800 Klingon Credits:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Payment | Main reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bewaffnet für die Wissenschaft | 285 | 140M Tritanium | 170 5★ Uncommon Refined Crystal, 1 KSG Datapad |
| Fallen Sky | 400 | 27M Dilithium | 1 5★ Gemeinsame Interceptor Parts, 1 KSG Datapad |
| Hail the Glow Cloud I (free the Klingons) | 400 | 40M Dilithium | 1,700 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups, 1 KSG Datapad |
| AI Unshackled IV | 230 | 32M Dilithium | 1,000 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups, 1 KSG Datapad |
Armed for Science is the one that costs Tritanium rather than Dilithium, and the only one of the group paid in refined 5★ material.
Tips
Have the 140M Tritanium ready before you leave Pterodasia. The mission has only three steps, so arriving short at the payment is the only way it can drag on.
Send any ship with warp 285. Without a fight, a survey ship does the job and your combat ships stay free.
The 5★ Uncommon Refined Crystal is the payout to look at; weigh 170 of it against the Tritanium you are giving up. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
