Trust Your Instincts is a neutral mission in Star Trek Fleet Command’s Romulan investigation storyline. It opens at your station and sends you out to Kiina in Romulanisch space, warp 160 to complete. One question from Maia splits the run into two paths, but both routes finish by destroying a single Romulan officer ship near 8.4 million power and hand you a Pattern Disruptor. Which other rewards you walk away with depends on the choice you make.
Trust Your Instincts objectives
The mission starts with one shared step, then Maia asks how you want to proceed. Your answer sets the rest of the run, so read both paths before you commit.
- Travel into Romulan space and reach Kiina.
- Answer Maia’s question: follow her instructions, or don’t.
If you follow Maia’s instructions:
- Defeat 15 hostiles of level 48 or higher.
- Destroy the Romulan ship at Kiina (around 8.4 million power).
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrem Bahnhof zurück.
If you don’t follow her instructions:
- Return to Scotty at Avofall.
- Destroy the Romulan ship at Avofall (around 8.4 million power).
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrem Bahnhof zurück.
Wo und welcher Warp
You pick the mission up at your station and head out toward Kiina in Romulan space. Plan for warp 160 to complete, which is a long jump, so top off your tank first. The path where you refuse Maia routes you to Avofall in Föderation space before the fight instead of Kiina. Either way the objective target is one Romulan officer ship sitting near 8.4 million power, and the combat path also asks you to clear 15 hostiles of level 48 or higher on the way. This is level 48 territory, so bring a crew that can handle that grade of enemy before you set off.
Trust Your Instincts rewards
The payout depends on your answer to Maia:
| Choice | Belohnungen |
|---|---|
| Follow her instructions | 6,000 Latinum and 1 Pattern Disruptor |
| Refuse her instructions | 220 Premium Recruit Tokens, 211,000 Officer XP, and 1 Pattern Disruptor |
Both branches award the Pattern Disruptor, so the real decision is whether you want the Latinum or the recruit tokens plus Officer XP. Completing Trust Your Instincts continues the Romulan storyline and unlocks the next mission in the chain.
Tips
The choice here is really a reward choice with a combat trade-off attached. The follow path leans into fighting: 15 kills against level 48 hostiles before the boss ship at Kiina. The refuse path skips the grind and sends you straight to a single fight at Avofall. If you are short on time or ships, the Avofall route is the faster clear.
Pick the reward that fits where you are. Latinum is handy for the Latinum store and event spending, while the recruit tokens and 211,000 Officer XP help if you are pushing officer levels. The Pattern Disruptor comes either way, so it should not sway the call.
Everything in this mission is level 48 content, and the final target sits near 8.4 million power. Line up a crew and ship that can clear level 48 hostiles and win that single fight before you commit, and refuel before the last leg since warp 160 is a long haul. Trust Your Instincts follows The Deep End and leads into A Glimpse Behind the Veil, so slot it into that Romulan run rather than tackling it on its own.
