Defense Platform A Level 41 is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: upgrade Defense Platform A to level 41. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1, so the upgrade itself is the only gate. The reward is 6,750,000 Tritanium plus seven 1M Tritanium Tokens, 13.75 million Tritanium in all, and completing it unlocks the next station mission.
Defense Platform A Level 41 objectives
There is a single objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade to Defense Platform A Level 41.
No system is named, no hostile is listed and nothing is donated. The mission clears when your first Defense Platform reaches level 41. The game describes Defense Platforms as the station’s last line of defense, giving fire support behind defending ships.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start, warp 1 to complete, no pickup system. The whole mission happens on your station. The recommended level is listed as 1, but the mission only completes once the level 41 upgrade is built.
What the level 41 upgrade needs
Base values from the game’s building data for Defense Platform A, before any bonuses:
| Level | Requirement | Main costs | Base build time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | Drydock A 40 | 5.73B Parsteel, 60.2M Tritanium, 6.02M Dilithium, 12,000 4★ Common Refined Gas, 1,400 4★ Uncommon Refined Gas | About 57 days |
| 41 | Drydock A 41 | 5.85B Parsteel, 86M Tritanium, 8.6M Dilithium, 20,000 4★ Common Refined Gas, 4,000 4★ Uncommon Refined Gas | About 53 days |
| 42 | Drydock A 42 | 8.71B Parsteel, 128.1M Tritanium, 12.81M Dilithium, 25,000 4★ Common Refined Gas, 6,000 4★ Uncommon Refined Gas | About 81 days |
The only prerequisite is Drydock A at level 41. Level 41 is also a slightly shorter build than level 40. The Tritanium bill is the one to plan for: 86 million at level 41, rising to 128.1 million at level 42.
Defense Platform A Level 41 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 6,750,000 |
| 1M Tritanium Token | 7 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next station mission.
How it compares with nearby station missions
| Mission | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Dilithium Warehouse Level 41 | 3,762,000 Dilithium |
| Defense Platform A Level 41 | 6,750,000 Tritanium, 7 1M Tritanium Token |
| Drydock A Level 43 | 9,375,000 Tritanium, 9 1M Tritanium Token |
| Drydock B Level 43 | 9,375,000 Tritanium, 9 1M Tritanium Token |
These station missions follow the same pattern: a flat Tritanium amount plus a matching number of 1M Tritanium Tokens, both rising with the level. At 13.75 million Tritanium, this reward covers about a sixth of the level 41 Tritanium cost.
Tips
Put the Tritanium toward level 42. The mission pays out after the level 41 upgrade is already built, so the reward helps with the next step, which needs 128.1 million Tritanium.
Keep Drydock A ahead. Every Defense Platform A level in this range needs Drydock A at the same level, so raising the drydock first keeps this chain moving.
The next station mission is R&D Department Level 42.
