The Joys of Raising Tribbles is a level 44 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you shut down an infamous Tribble farm. You pick it up in Perralon 472, it needs warp 105 to start and to complete, and it involves a 925,000 Dilithium payment, 10 hostiles of level 42 or higher and a smuggler in Beta Niobe. The reward is 397,600,000 Parsteel and 300 Ship XP. For a level 44 player, that Parsteel payout is the reason to run it.
The Joys of Raising Tribbles objectives
The story line reads: shut down an infamous Tribble farm. There are six objectives and no choice split:
- Investigate rumors of a Tribble market. Location: Hannlaw.
- Pay 925,000 Dilithium for information.
- Find the market. Location: Beta Niobe.
- Defeat 10 hostiles of level 42 or higher.
- Defeat the smuggler. Location: Beta Niobe.
- Bring the Tribbles to a sanctuary. Location: Mina.
You follow rumors in Hannlaw, pay for information, find the market in Beta Niobe, clear 10 hostiles, and deal with the smuggler. The mission ends with a delivery of the rescued Tribbles to a sanctuary in Mina.
Wo und welcher Warp
The pickup system is Perralon 472. The mission needs warp 105 to start and to complete, and the objectives take you through Hannlaw, Beta Niobe and Mina.
The recommended level is 44. No enemy strength is listed for the smuggler, so the 10 hostiles of level 42 or higher are the combat you can plan around.
The Joys of Raising Tribbles rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 397,600,000 |
| Ship XP | 300 |
No next mission is listed as unlocked by The Joys of Raising Tribbles, and it pays no faction points.
Cost against reward
The mission asks for 925,000 Dilithium up front and pays nearly 400 million Parsteel. For most players at level 44, that is a good trade, since Parsteel goes into almost every building upgrade.
There is no reputation cost either way. The mission pays only Ressourcen and Ship XP, so it will not affect your standing with any faction.
If you have run the earlier Tribble missions, such as Tribble-Bedrohung, this one has a lighter tone: here the Tribbles are being farmed and sold, and your job is to get them to safety.
Tips
Have the 925,000 Dilithium ready before you reach Hannlaw. The payment comes right after the first step, and nothing opens up until it is made.
Clear the 10 hostiles near Beta Niobe so you are already there for the smuggler. They must be level 42 or higher.
The sanctuary run to Mina has no fight, so you can finish on a damaged ship once the smuggler is dealt with. Other missions by level are on the Missionsleitfaden.
