Gebäude

Buildings are the structures on your station, and leveling them is most of what you do between battles in Star Trek Fleet Command. They produce your resources, build and store your ships, research new technology, and boost your fleet in combat. Everything starts with Operations, the core building that unlocks the rest. This guide groups every station building by what it does and links to a full page for each one, plus the shared Alliance Starbase buildings your whole alliance builds together.

Buildings sit in three places: inside your station, outside it (the generators, drydocks, and defense platforms around the walls), and on the Alliance Starbase. Operations sets the pace for all of them. Every time you raise its level you open more buildings to construct, and each upgrade also increases the weapon damage of all your ships, so it usually stays near the top of your upgrade list. Read the full Operations building guide for costs and level requirements.

Resource production and storage

These buildings keep your economy running. The three generator families produce your base resources, warehouses store and protect them, and the Refinery and Treasury handle raw materials and cargo.

Schiffe

This group builds, stores, and manages your fleet. The Shipyard and Astronautics Studio bring new hulls into the game, drydocks set how many ships you can field, and the rest handle storage, scrapping, and consumables.

Research and tech labs

Research happens in the R&D Department, and each tech lab specializes in one branch. You need the matching lab built and leveled to keep researching that branch.

Combat and defense

These buildings turn your economy into fighting power, from station defenses to armada attacks and ship refits.

Officers and crew

Officer buildings house your crew and send them on assignments off your ships.

Special and event buildings

These are the newer additions, many tied to a faction, arc, or event. Each one carries its own buffs, and most arrive later in the game.

Alliance Starbase (Outpost) buildings

Beyond your personal station, your alliance builds a shared Alliance Starbase, sometimes called the outpost. It has 29 buildings of its own, powered by three plasma resources you harvest from Plasma Storms, and every member contributes to leveling them. See the full Outpost buildings guide for how the plasma economy, combat modules, and Assembly Chambers fit together.

Where to start

Keep Operations moving, since it gates everything else and raises your ship weapon damage. After that, prioritize the generators and storage so your economy can pay for the rest, then the Shipyard and drydocks to grow your fleet, and the research labs to unlock stronger ships and tech. The combat, officer, and special buildings come into their own as you climb, and the Alliance Starbase is a long-term group project once your own station is established.
