Patience is a Virtue is an early story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you catch Mudd. The game lists a recommended level of 15. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 12 to complete. You investigate an energy pulse in Obilent, follow Maia’s directions to Medua, and capture Mudd, about 11,296 strength. The reward is 7,000 Parsteel, 3,000 Officer XP, 200 Dilithium and two 1 Hour Speed Ups.

The recommended level is 15, and Mudd at about 11,296 strength is the step that tests it.

Where it sits in the storyline
The mission before this one is Signal Interrupted, the all-out assault on the final Herald. A related mission is Dark Words. Current game data:
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp zum Abschließen | Main effort | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signal unterbrochen | 14 | 11 | Klingonisch Invader of about 9,597, then Tanar, Warak and T’Kara, the strongest about 11,529 | 500 Premium Recruit Token, 10 2★ Common Refined Kristall, 23,000 Parsteel |
| Geduld ist eine Tugend | 15 | 12 | Capture Mudd, about 11,296 | 7,000 Parsteel, 3,000 Officer XP, 200 Dilithium, 2 × 1 Hour Speed Up |
| Dunkle Worte | 1 | 18 | Investigate a distress signal in Hann; no fights | 12 × 30 Minute Speed Up, 5 3★ Ungewöhnlich Veredelter Kristall |
Mudd is about as strong as T’Kara in Signal Interrupted, so a ship that won that assault can handle this capture. Signal Interrupted pays more overall, with 500 Premium Recruit Tokens, while Patience is a Virtue is a shorter mission with a single fight.
Tips
Bring a combat ship to Medua. The first three steps are travel and setup, but capturing Mudd is a real fight.
Use the Officer XP on whichever officer you are levelling. At this stage 3,000 Officer XP is a useful boost.
Look ahead to Dark Words, which needs warp 18, six more than this mission. If your ship only just reaches warp 12, start warp research now. Other missions sorted by level are on the Missionsleitfaden.
