It starts and finishes at warp 1, and the game lists a recommended level of 1, so the upgrade is the only real requirement. The reward is 2,000 Tritanium and three 3 Minute Repair Speed Ups. Because the level 13 upgrade itself needs no Tritanium, every bit of that reward goes toward other builds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upgrade_R_D_Department_to_Level_13_objectives\"><\/span>Upgrade R&amp;D Department to Level 13 objectives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The mission text explains that the R&amp;D Department unlocks additional upgrades for the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/werft\/\"   title=\"Shipyard\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"14585\">Shipyard<\/a> and your ships.
