Don’t Look Down

Don’t Look Down is a level 25 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you find the traitor behind an act of sabotage. It can be picked up at warp 1 and needs warp 20 to complete. You question a Suliban and a Trill in Beta Assembly, track the saboteur to Nott and disable their ship, then decide whether to let the saboteur escape. Letting them go pays 552,000 Parsteel and 15 Latinum; destroying the ship pays 127,000 Tritanium and 23,000 Dilithium.

Don’t Look Down objectives

The shared part of the mission has five objectives:

  • Question the Suliban. Location: Beta Assembly.
  • Question the Trill. Location: Beta Assembly.
  • Track the saboteur. Location: Nott.
  • Disable the ship. Location: Nott. Enemy strength is roughly 75,312.
  • Let the saboteur escape?

The last step is a choice split with different tasks and rewards on each side.

Path 1: let the saboteur escape

  • Return to your Station.

Rewards: 15 Latinum, 552,000 Parsteel.

Path 2: destroy the ship

  • Destroy the ship. Location: Nott. Enemy strength is roughly 75,312.
  • Return to your Station.

Rewards: 127,000 Tritanium, 23,000 Dilithium.

Both paths go through the first fight in Nott, since you have to disable the saboteur’s ship before the choice appears. Path 2 adds a second fight against the same ship at the same strength before you head home.

Where and what warp

Don’t Look Down needs warp 1 to start and warp 20 to complete. The first two objectives are in Beta Assembly and the rest are in Nott, and both paths end back at your station. The recommended level is 25.

Don’t Look Down rewards

Path Rewards

The current game data shows no follow-up mission unlocked by either path.

Where it sits in the storyline

The mission before this one is All-Encompassing, a level 25 mission picked up in Beta Assembly in which you assist the Tholian expansion by attacking a Breen ship in New Dozaria. The two missions line up closely:

Mission Recommended level Warp to complete Fights Rewards
All-Encompassing 25 20 Two in New Dozaria, around 74,100 and 73,260 4 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal, 1 1 Day Peace Shield, 335,000 Parsteel
Don’t Look Down 25 20 One or two in Nott, around 75,312 552,000 Parsteel and 15 Latinum, or 127,000 Tritanium and 23,000 Dilithium

A ship that handled the two Breen fights is matched to the saboteur. After Don’t Look Down, the story moves on to the Hunting the Hunter arc.

Tips

Bring a combat ship to Nott. Disabling the ship is a fight at roughly 75,312 strength whichever path you plan to take.

Pick the path by the resource you need. Letting the saboteur go is the easier ending, with no second fight and a large Parsteel payout. Destroying the ship means one more fight at the same strength, and in return you get Tritanium and Dilithium, which suit different upgrades from Parsteel.

If you plan to destroy the ship, repair after the first Nott fight if your ship took heavy damage. The second fight is against the same strength, straight after the choice. For every other mission by level, see the mission guide.
