Take What We Need is a Star Trek Fleet Command mission where you raid resources to help an impoverished Nausicaan fleet. You can pick it up in any of six systems, and it needs warp 13 to start and finish. The work is simple: defeat 6 hostiles in Kepler-018, mine 2,000 Tritanium and donate it. The game lists a recommended level of 1, and the reward is 14,000 Parsteel and 5 2★ Survey Parts.
Take What We Need objectives
Es gibt drei Ziele und keine Verzweigung:
- Defeat 6 Hostiles in Kepler-018. Location: Kepler-018.
- Mine 2,000 Tritanium.
- Donate 2,000 Tritanium.
The kills have to come from Kepler-018 itself, not from anywhere else. After that the mission asks you to mine 2,000 Tritanium and then hand over 2,000 Tritanium. Mining is listed as its own objective before the donation, so plan a mining trip rather than counting on the Tritanium already in your warehouse.
Wo und welcher Warp
Take What We Need has six pickup systems: Kaus Australis, Vemet, Freyda, Aciben, Oltomon and Kaus Borealis. You can accept it in whichever of those is closest.
Both starting and completing the mission need warp 13. The recommended level shows as 1.
Take What We Need rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 14,000 |
| 2★ Survey Parts | 5 |
What the mission asks of each ship
This mission splits neatly between two kinds of ship. The six kills in Kepler-018 need a combat ship. The 2,000 Tritanium mining needs a ship that can mine Tritanium. If you have both, you can run the two parts side by side and finish faster.
| Step | Best ship | Wo |
|---|---|---|
| Defeat 6 hostiles | Combat ship | Kepler-018 |
| Mine 2,000 Tritanium | Mining or survey ship | Any Tritanium node in range |
| Donate 2,000 Tritanium | No ship needed | No location listed |
The reward includes 2★ Survey Parts, which fits the mining step: a survey ship is the natural tool for the job, and the parts go toward upgrading one.
Other missions around warp 13
| Mission | Warp zum Abschließen | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|
| Nimm, was wir brauchen | 13 | 14,000 Parsteel, 5 2★ Survey Parts |
| Nari | 13 | 25,000 Parsteel, 50 Premium Recruit Token, 1 Relocation Token |
| Die Datenfalle | 13 | 7,000 Tritanium, 1,300 Dilithium, 1 Cyberpathic Interface |
| Voyages | 15 | 3,200 Dilithium, 6 2★ Ungewöhnlich Raffiniertes Gas |
Take What We Need is the only one of these that pays Survey Parts, and it sits outside any chain, so you can run it whenever it suits you.
Tips
Kill in Kepler-018 only. Hostiles defeated in other systems do not count, so fly there before you start fighting.
Have your miner ready. The mining step comes straight after the kills, so parking a mining ship near a Tritanium node lets it start as soon as the sixth hostile is down.
Pick the closest pickup system. With six to choose from, there is no reason to fly far just to accept the mission. Every mission by level is on the Missionsleitfaden.
