If Only You Knew is the name of two different missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. The first is a recommended level 1 story mission in which Starfleet asks you to guard a mysterious object in the Aruna system; it starts at warp 1, needs warp 13 to complete, and pays 700 Dilithium and 75 Premium Recruit Tokens. The second is a level 67 research step in the Cult Eternus storyline, covered further down. The level 1 version is a short job with one easy fight.
If Only You Knew objectives
The level 1 mission has four objectives and no choice split:
- Meet with Starfleet in Lorillia. Location: Lorillia.
- Find the object in Aruna. Location: Aruna.
- Defeat the Arkonian Destroyer. Location: Aruna.
- Return the data to your Station for analysis.
Another of the strange objects has turned up in Federation space. Most Starfleet personnel are busy with the one in Cita Laga, so the officer who contacts you asks you to protect a small team of scientists studying the new one in Aruna. Your crew agrees on the condition that you get time to study it too.
The scientists feel exposed, and an Arkonian Destroyer arrives heading straight for the object. It is listed at about 13,000 strength. Once it is gone, your crew scans the object’s casing, gets only a little data in a format it cannot yet read, and suggests heading home to work on it with more processing power. The closing line warns that every power in the quadrant will want these objects.
Where and what warp
The mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 13 to complete, covering Lorillia and Aruna. The last step brings the data back to your station. The recommended level is listed as 1, but the warp 13 trip and the Arkonian fight are the real bar.
If Only You Knew rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 700 |
| Premium Recruit Token | 75 |
Completing it unlocks Transgressions, where the hunt for the objects moves into Klingon space. The mission before it is You Can Count on Me.
If Only You Knew at other levels
The level 67 If Only You Knew is a separate mission in the Cult Eternus storyline. It follows Phantom Pain, in which Data and Geordi plan to reactivate Maia through a backup of her stored on your station. Its one objective is to complete Air-Sealed Containment Research. When the research is done, Geordi tells Picard they are ready to start the activation sequence. It needs only warp 1 and leads into You And What Army, the mission to rescue Maia.
| Recommended level | Systems | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lorillia, Aruna | 13 | 700 Dilithium, 75 Premium Recruit Tokens |
| 67 | None (research at your station) | 1 | 12,000 Σ-Parsteel, 1 1 Hour Σ-Repair Speed Up |
Tips
For the level 1 version, any ship that can reach warp 13 can finish it. The Arkonian Destroyer is a light fight at about 13,000 strength, so there is nothing to prepare beyond range.
The 75 Premium Recruit Tokens are the larger of the two rewards for a new player, well ahead of the 700 Dilithium.
For the level 67 version, the only requirement is the Air-Sealed Containment research, so check your research tree and start it early; the research guide covers how research works. Every mission by level is on the mission guide.
