Scrapyard 72 is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with a single objective: upgrade your Scrapyard to level 72. It needs only warp 1 to start and to complete, so there is nothing to fly to and nothing to fight. The recommended level is 72. Finishing the upgrade pays 428,000 Σ-Parsteel, 1,209,000 7★ Raw Gas and four 12 Hour Assignment Speed Ups, and it unlocks the next Scrapyard mission. Treat it as a bonus for an upgrade you were already planning.
Scrapyard 72 objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Scrapyard to level 72.
No system is named and no hostile is listed. The mission completes the moment the Scrapyard reaches level 72.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. Everything happens on your station. The game lists a recommended level of 72, but the real gate is the building upgrade itself.
Scrapyard 72 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Σ-Parsteel | 428,000 |
| 7★ Raw Gas | 1,209,000 |
| 12 Hour Assignment Speed Up | 4 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next Scrapyard upgrade mission.
How Scrapyard 72 compares with other building missions
Most station building missions in this range share the same shape: one Σ resource, one 7★ raw resource and a stack of speed ups. Shipyard 70 is the exception. Here is Scrapyard 72 next to Scrapyard 79 and the other building missions between levels 70 and 74:
| Mission | Level | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Shipyard 70 | 70 | 22,000 Σ-Parsteel, 1 3 Day Peace Shield, 50 1 Day Speed Up |
| Recruitment Hall 71 | 71 | 356,000 Σ-Parsteel, 1,042,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 140 30 Minute Repair Speed Up |
| R&D Department 71 | 71 | 73,000 Σ-Tritanium, 1,042,000 7★ Raw Gas, 50 1 Day Speed Up |
| Scrapyard 72 | 72 | 428,000 Σ-Parsteel, 1,209,000 7★ Raw Gas, 4 12 Hour Assignment Speed Up |
| Ship Hangar 72 | 72 | 88,000 Σ-Tritanium, 1,209,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 140 30 Minute Repair Speed Up |
| Astronautics Studio 73 | 73 | 513,000 Σ-Parsteel, 1,334,000 7★ Raw Ore, 34 15 Minute Σ-Speed Up |
| Defense Technologies 74 | 74 | 615,000 Σ-Parsteel, 1,584,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 100 15 Minute Σ-Repair Speed Up |
| Scrapyard 79 | 79 | 313,000 Σ-Tritanium, 4,334,000 7★ Raw Ore, 70 30 Minute Σ-Repair Speed Up |
Both level 72 building missions pay 1,209,000 of a 7★ raw resource. Scrapyard 72 gives Raw Gas, while Ship Hangar 72 gives Raw Crystal. By Scrapyard 79 the raw payout has more than tripled to 4,334,000, and the Σ reward switches from Parsteel to Tritanium.
Tips
The mission completes itself when the upgrade lands, so there is nothing to do beyond the build. Fit the Scrapyard into your upgrade plan wherever it makes sense, and collect the rewards once the timer ends.
The 7★ Raw Gas is the bigger reward by quantity, useful if you are working on your Gas supply for 7★ ships. The Σ-Parsteel goes straight back into station building costs (see Sigma resources).
Hold the four 12 Hour Assignment Speed Ups for long assignments rather than spending them on short ones. For the other station upgrade missions, see research building missions and the mission guide.
