Upgrade Drydock B: Level 7 is an early station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with a single objective: raise your second drydock to level 7. The game notes that drydock upgrades improve repair times for the ship assigned there. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the recommended level is listed as 1. The reward is 1,600 Tritanium, and completing it unlocks the next station mission. Level 7 is also the first Drydock B level that asks for Tritanium, so the reward arrives at a useful moment.
Upgrade Drydock B: Level 7 objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Drydock B to Level 7.
No system, hostile or donation is involved. The mission completes when Drydock B reaches level 7.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start, warp 1 to complete, no pickup system. Everything happens on the station.
The recommended level shows as 1. The building data sets the real requirement: Drydock B level 7 needs Operations 7.
Upgrade Drydock B: Level 7 rewards
The reward is 1,600 Tritanium. Completing the mission also unlocks the next station mission, Upgrade Operations to Level 10.
What Drydock B costs around level 7
Current building data for Drydock B:
| Level | Cost | Listed build time | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4,000 Parsteel | 11m | Operations 5 |
| 6 | 4,250 Parsteel | 18m | Operations 6 |
| 7 | 50 Tritanium, 4,500 Parsteel | 34m | Operations 7 |
| 8 | 100 Tritanium, 4,750 Parsteel | 48m | Operations 8 |
The 1,600 Tritanium from this mission is 32 times the 50 Tritanium the level 7 upgrade costs, and it covers the level 8 Tritanium cost many times over too. Build times are still short at this stage, under an hour for each of these levels.
How it compares with other drydock missions
| Mission | Tritanium | Repair speed ups |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade Drydock B to Level 2 | 250 | 3 × 1 Minute |
| Upgrade Drydock B to Level 3 | 260 | 3 × 1 Minute |
| Upgrade Drydock A to Level 5 | 380 | 6 × 1 Minute |
| Upgrade Drydock A: Level 7 | 1,600 | None |
| Upgrade Drydock B: Level 7 | 1,600 | None |
Drydock A and Drydock B pay the same 1,600 Tritanium at level 7, and neither adds speed ups. The jump from the level 2 and 3 missions is large: level 7 pays more than six times as much Tritanium.
Tips
Match Operations to your drydock plans. From level 5 to 8, each Drydock B level needs Operations at the matching level, so Operations sets the pace here.
Upgrade both drydocks to level 7. With the same reward on Drydock A and Drydock B, the pair adds up to 3,200 Tritanium for two short builds.
The mission that unlocks this one is Upgrade R&D Department to Level 9. More station missions by level are on the mission guide.
