Breakdown is a single mission in Star Trek Fleet Command built around refitting the Stella. You scrap a level 10 Stella, research an upgrade for it, build a new one, and then scout a target for Eurydice in Exchange Alpha. It is recommended for level 27, can be picked up at warp 1 and needs warp 24 to finish. The rewards are 150,000 Tritanium, 30,000 Dilithium and nine each of 3★ Ungewöhnlich Refined Ore, Crystal and Gas.
Breakdown objectives
There are six objectives and no choice split:
- Scrap the Stella after upgrading it to Level 10.
- Research Stella Weaponry or Stella Hull.
- Build the Stella.
- Scout Eurydice’s target. Location: Börse Alpha.
- Defeat 8 hostiles in Exchange Alpha. Location: Exchange Alpha.
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrer Station zurück.
The first half of the mission is station work. You need a Stella at level 10, which you then scrap. Next comes research: either Stella Weaponry or Stella Hull counts, so pick whichever suits your plans. The third step is to build a fresh Stella.
The second half moves to Exchange Alpha. Scout the target Eurydice has picked out, clear eight hostiles in that system, and then head home. No named enemy is listed, so the eight hostile kills are the only combat.
Wo und welcher Warp
Breakdown has no named pickup system and can be picked up at warp 1. Completing it takes warp 24, since Exchange Alpha has to be in range for the scouting and the hostile kills. The recommended level is 27.
The slowest part is usually the first three steps. Levelling a Stella to 10, scrapping it, finishing a research and building a new Stella all take time and Ressourcen before you ever leave your station.
Breakdown rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 150,000 |
| Dilithium | 30,000 |
| 3★ Ungewöhnliches Raffinerie-Erz | 9 |
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Kristall | 9 |
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas | 9 |
Completing Breakdown unlocks the next mission, Heißer Schlitten.
The refined materials come as an even spread across all three types, which is handy if one of them is holding up a research or building upgrade.
What comes next
Hot Rod puts the rebuilt Stella to use. It has the same recommended level of 27 and the same warp 24 finish, and it sends you back to Exchange Alpha:
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Main task | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aufschlüsselung | 27 | 24 | Rebuild the Stella, clear 8 hostiles in Exchange Alpha | 150,000 Tritanium, 30,000 Dilithium, refined materials |
| Heißer Schlitten | 27 | 24 | Claim Eurydice’s Intel Bundle, rob the casino with the Stella (~129,975) | 13 3 Hour Speed Ups, 39 1 Hour Speed Ups |
Because Hot Rod asks you to rob the casino with the Stella specifically, the ship you build in Breakdown is the one you will fly next. Research that suits a fight is worth considering at the Weaponry or Hull step.
Tips
Level the Stella before you pick the mission up if you can. The first objective asks for a level 10 Stella, and getting there takes the longest of any step.
Pick the research with Hot Rod in mind. The casino fight at around 130,000 strength has to be won with the Stella, so Stella Weaponry or Stella Hull both help there.
Clear the eight hostiles with your strongest combat ship. The objective does not name a ship, only the system.
