Upgrade Shipyard: Level 17 is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: bring the Shipyard up to level 17. It starts and ends at warp 1, the game lists a recommended level of 1, and there are no systems or hostiles involved. The reward is 5,000 Tritanium, and completing it unlocks Upgrade Operations to Level 18. It pays a solid amount of Tritanium for an upgrade that also makes ship building and tier-ups faster.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 17 objectives
The story line asks you to upgrade the Shipyard to gain access to new and more powerful ships. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Shipyard to Level 17.
Nothing needs to be flown, fought or donated. The mission completes when the Shipyard finishes its level 17 upgrade.
Wo und welcher Warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system, so the mission never leaves your station.
The listed recommended level is 1. The real gate is the Shipyard upgrade and the Gebäude it requires.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 17 rewards
The single reward is 5,000 Tritanium. Completing the mission also unlocks the next station mission, Aufrüstung der Operationen auf Stufe 18.
What Shipyard level 17 gives you
The Shipyard has two bonuses that rise with each level. Ship Construction Speed shortens new ship builds, and Tier Up Speed shortens ship upgrades. Current building data lists both at 26% for level 16, 29% for level 17 and 31% for level 18.
For planning, the nearest cost milestones are level 15 and level 20. Level 15 costs 45,900 Parsteel, 750 Tritanium and 50 2★ Common Refined Kristall, takes 16 hours and 24 minutes, and requires Operations 15, R&D Department 15 and Dilithium Warehouse 12. Level 20 costs 260,100 Parsteel and 4,250 Tritanium, takes 2 days and 7 hours, and requires Operations 20, R&D Department 20 and Schiffshangar 15. Level 17 falls between them, and the in-game upgrade screen shows its exact bill.

Tips
Chain it with the Operations and Drydock C Missionen. The three rewards that follow Shipyard 17 add another 11,000 Tritanium and six 5 Minute Repair Speed Ups, and Drydock C lets you deploy an additional ship.
Upgrade before a big ship build. The jump from 26% to 29% construction speed is small per level, but it applies to every build and tier-up you run afterwards.
Spend the Tritanium on the Shipyard path. Level 20 asks for 4,250 Tritanium, and the Shipyard missions between here and there cover it. More station missions are listed on the Missionsleitfaden.
