Combat Training 7: Rookie is the first tier of the level 7 combat training missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. You defeat a single hostile of level 7 or higher, anywhere you like, and collect 60 Dilithium and one Vel K’Bentayr shard. It runs at warp 1 and the game lists a recommended level of 1. One kill for a shard of a useful early officer is an easy trade for a new captain.
Combat Training 7: Rookie objectives
The mission text invites you to test your skills against hostiles of escalating difficulty. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat a hostile of Level 7 or higher.
No system is named, so any hostile of level 7 or above counts wherever you find it.
Wo und welcher Warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The mission never sends you anywhere specific, so the only travel is to wherever a level 7 hostile is within reach.
The recommended level is listed as 1. What matters is a ship that can win one fight against a level 7 hostile.
Combat Training 7: Rookie rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 60 |
| Vel K’Bentayr shard | 1 |
Completing it unlocks Kampftraining 7: Soldat. The mission before it in the chain is Kampftraining 6: Veteran, which pays 90 Dilithium, eight 5 Minute Speed Ups and 2 Shev Akria shards.
About the Vel K’Bentayr shard
Vel K’Bentayr is a gemeinsame officer geared toward hostile hunting. His captain maneuver, Dilithium Hunter, adds 25% to Dilithium rewards from hostiles, and his officer ability, Chirurgical Precision, raises kinetic damage against hostiles. Rank 1 needs 5 shards.
The Veteran tier at level 7 pays 2 more Vel K’Bentayr shards, along with 150 Dilithium and six 10 Minute Speed Ups, so level 7 gives you at least 3 of the 5 shards for rank 1.
How the Rookie tier compares at early levels
The early Rookie Missionen each ask for a single hostile and pay a little Dilithium, usually with one officer shard. Current game data:
| Mission | Dilithium | Shard |
|---|---|---|
| Kampftraining 3: Rookie | 8 | 1 Nächste Generation Troi |
| Kampftraining 5: Rookie | 24 | 1 Riker der nächsten Generation |
| Kampftraining 7: Rookie | 60 | 1 Vel K’Bentayr |
| Kampftraining 8: Rookie | 95 | 1 Gaila |
| Kampftraining 9: Rookie | 160 | 1 T'Laan |
The Dilithium climbs quickly through these levels, from 8 at level 3 to 160 at level 9, while the shard count stays at one per Rookie mission.
Tips
Knock it out on your first patrol at level 7. One kill is all it takes, and the Soldier tier opens right after.
Build toward Vel K’Bentayr early. With him as captain, hostiles pay 25% more Dilithium, which adds up over many grinding sessions. Other missions sorted by level are on the Missionsleitfaden.
