Too Close for Comfort is an outlaw story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you get Ahvix close to a trader’s ships at Exchange Beta. The game lists a recommended level of 28. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 24 to complete, and it has one fight, a guard at roughly 154,890 strength. The reward is two 1 Day Speed Ups and nineteen 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups. It is short and pays well in time savings, so it is worth doing as soon as you can win the fight.
Too Close for Comfort objectives
There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Get Ahvix close to the trader. Location: Exchange Beta.
- Fight off the guard. Location: Exchange Beta. Enemy strength is roughly 154,890.
- Return to your Station.
You bring Ahvix in close to the trader at Exchange Beta, deal with the guard that responds, and head home. There is only one system to visit.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed. The mission is available from warp 1 and needs warp 24 to complete, which is the range for Exchange Beta.
The recommended level is 28. The guard at around 154,890 strength is the only obstacle and the best measure of whether you are ready.
Too Close for Comfort rewards

How it compares with the missions around it
Too Close for Comfort sits between two other level 28 missions that also finish at warp 24:
| Mission | Fights | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Supply and Demand | None | 7 Latinum plus 128,000 Tritanium or 26,000 Dilithium, by choice |
| Too Close for Comfort | Guard (~154,890) | 2 1 Day Speed Up, 19 15 Minute Repair Speed Up |
| Predators | 13 hostiles of level 29 or higher, then the Trader (~153,150) | 50 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal |
Supply and Demand is the scouting run, with no combat at all. Too Close for Comfort adds the first real fight at this stage. Predators then asks for far more: two rounds of hostile kills at level 29 or higher, trips to D0D-G and back, and a Trader at about the same strength as this mission’s guard.
Enemies in this band also show up in All the Money in the World, where the COO sits at about 153,150, so these missions share a difficulty level.
Tips
Bring your strongest ship to Exchange Beta. The guard is the only fight, so there is nothing to save the ship for.
Keep the repair speed ups for Predators. Its 13 hostile kills and the Trader fight will take a toll on your hull, and nineteen 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups cover almost five hours of repairs.
Previous mission: Supply and Demand. Next mission: Predators. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
