Close Encounters is a Star Trek Fleet Command story mission where you make contact with a Federation envoy, then stop them before they reach the Progenitors. It starts at warp 1 but needs warp 110 to complete, moving through Kor Ar'Ka, Kri und ST-9417. The one fight is the Federation Envoy ship at roughly 5,773,328 strength. It pays 4,410,000 Dilithium and 230 Ultra Recruit Tokens, a strong return for four objectives.
Close Encounters objectives
Es gibt vier Ziele und keine Verzweigung:
- Treffen mit dem Föderation envoy and hear their plan. Location: Kor Ar’Ka.
- Intercept the Federation envoy before they reach the Progenitors. Location: Kri.
- Disable the Federation Envoy ship. Location: Kri. Enemy strength is roughly 5,773,328.
- Deliver the Federation Envoy to safety on Bonser. Location: ST-9417.
The story turns quickly. You first meet the envoy in Kor Ar’Ka to hear their plan, then have to intercept them in Kri before they reach the Progenitors. Disabling the envoy’s ship is the only combat, and it happens in Kri. The last step takes the envoy to safety on Bonser, in the ST-9417 system.
The objective says “disable,” not destroy, and the next step moves the envoy to safety, so the fight is about stopping the ship rather than ending the envoy.
Wo und welcher Warp
Close Encounters is available at warp 1 and needs warp 110 to complete. The game lists a recommended level of 1, which says nothing useful about the difficulty: the Federation Envoy ship is well over five million strength. Plan around warp 110 and that fight.
Three systems are involved, each with its own step: Kor Ar’Ka for the meeting, Kri for the interception and the fight, and ST-9417 for the delivery to Bonser.
Close Encounters rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 4,410,000 |
| Ultra Recruit Token | 230 |
Completing Close Encounters also unlocks the next mission in the storyline.
Is it worth it?
For players who can reach warp 110 and handle the fight, yes. There is no donation, no hostile count and no mining, so the only cost is the travel and one combat encounter. The 4,410,000 Dilithium is the headline, and 230 Ultra Recruit Tokens come on top.
The catch is the Federation Envoy ship. At roughly 5,773,328 strength it is a serious fight, and it is the single thing that decides whether you finish. If your ship is not there yet, that fight is the thing to build toward.
Tips
Repair before Kri. The interception and the fight happen back to back in the same system, so arrive ready to fight rather than stopping to repair after you get there.
Bring your strongest combat ship. With only one fight in the mission, there is no reason to hold anything back for later steps.
After the fight, the delivery to Bonser in ST-9417 closes the mission. There is no return-to-station step.
The next mission in the storyline is Ein Appell an die Vernunft. Alle anderen Missionen nach Level findest du im Missionsleitfaden.
