No Good Deed Goes Unpunished is a Star Trek Fleet Command mission in which you answer a distress signal in Labac, help a stranded mining ship and then fight off the Gorn who come for it. The game lists a recommended level of 1; it starts at warp 1 and needs warp 12 to finish. It costs 70,000 Parsteel and two fights, and the reward is 3 Keenser shards. It is the second of two Keenser missions and worth doing if you are building him.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished objectives
There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Investigate the distress signal in Labac. Location: Labac.
- Give the stranded miners 70,000 Parsteel.
- Defeat the Gorn Raider. Location: Labac (enemy strength ~30,910).
- Defeat the Gorn Leader. Location: Labac (enemy strength ~39,484).
- Return to Station.
You find the stranded miners in Labac and give them 70,000 Parsteel. That good deed draws the Gorn, and you have to beat a Gorn Raider and then the Gorn Leader in the same system before heading home.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 12 to complete, with no pickup system. Labac is the only system involved.
The Gorn Leader at about 39,484 strength is the tougher of the two fights and the real measure of whether your ship is ready.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished rewards
The only reward is 3 Keenser shards. This mission ends its short chain and does not unlock a further mission.
The Keenser chain
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished follows Gone Too Far, and the two missions together pay 6 Keenser shards:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Story | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gone Too Far | 13 | Help a struggling colony by driving away Gorn raiders | 3 Keenser shards |
| No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | 12 | Rescue a stranded mining ship | 3 Keenser shards |
Both missions pit you against the Gorn and both pay only Keenser shards. Special Delivery, a warp 15 mission picked up in Gelvin and other nearby systems, pays 2 more Keenser shards.
Tips
Budget the 70,000 Parsteel before you set off. It is the second objective, and the fights do not start until the miners are paid, so running short stops the mission in Labac.
Repair between the Gorn Raider and the Gorn Leader if you can. They are back to back in Labac, and the Leader is the stronger of the two at about 39,484 strength.
The Parsteel cost is the main downside. If you have no use for Keenser, the mission is a net loss in resources, so it is best saved for when you want the shards.
