Explorer Barrage is a single-level Combat research in Star Trek Fleet Command that raises the base damage of all your explorers by 20%. It unlocks at Wissenschaftliches Labor<\/a> 42 and costs 1 Ion Particle plus 674.1M Dilithium, with 76.9 days of base research time. Ion Particles come from two Missionen<\/a>, A Familiar Face and A Light in the Darkness, which each award one.<\/p>\n

The gate is the Science Lab, not the R&D Department, and there are no research prerequisites. The base time is before your research-speed bonuses.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What Explorer Barrage does<\/span><\/h2>\n

The 20% applies to your explorers’ base damage, so it counts against hostiles, armadas and other players alike. Class-wide damage in a single purchase is Uncommon<\/a> in the Combat tree, which usually splits its boosts by target type or ship grade.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to get an Ion Particle<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Ion Particle is a rare resource consumed to complete special combat research. It is earned by completing two missions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Each mission pays one Ion Particle, and each Barrage research consumes one. Choose which ship class gets its Barrage first before you spend them.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The three Barrage research<\/span><\/h2>\n

Explorer Barrage has two siblings in the Combat tree. All three cost the same and give the same 20%, but each is gated by a different building at level 42:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Is Explorer Barrage worth it?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes if explorers do a real share of your fighting and your Science Lab has reached 42. If your main hitters are battleships or interceptors, spend the Ion Particle on that class’s Barrage first. Do not confuse it with Fragile Entdecker<\/a>, a ten-level Combat line at R&D 50 that raises your damage against hostile explorers rather than the damage your own explorers deal.
