Upgrade Drydock B to Level 2 is an early station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. The single objective is to raise your second drydock to level 2, which the game says improves 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 250 Tritanium and three 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups, and completing it unlocks the next Drydock B mission. It pays more than building the drydock did.
Upgrade Drydock B to Level 2 objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Drydock B to Level 2.
No system, hostile or donation is involved. The mission completes once Drydock B reaches level 2. The mission text gives the reason to do it: upgrading a drydock improves the repair times of the ship assigned to it.
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 bar: Drydock B level 2 needs Operations 7.
Upgrade Drydock B to Level 2 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 250 |
| 1 Minute Repair Speed Up | 3 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next station mission, Upgrade Drydock B to Level 3.
What the early Drydock B levels cost
Current building data for the first levels of Drydock B:
| Level | Parsteel | Listed build time | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3,000 | 30m | Fleet Commander research 1 |
| 2 | 3,250 | 3m | Operations 7 |
| 3 | 3,500 | 4m 30s | Operations 7 |
| 4 | 3,750 | 6m 30s | Operations 7 |
Level 2 costs a little more Parsteel than the drydock itself but builds in a tenth of the time. Levels 2 to 4 all sit behind the same Operations 7 requirement, so once Operations is there you can run through them quickly.
How it compares with other drydock missions
| Mission | Tritanium | Repair speed ups |
|---|---|---|
| Construct Drydock B | 120 | 1 × 1 Minute |
| 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 B: Level 7 | 1,600 | None |
| Upgrade Drydock C to Level 2 | 500 | 2 × 5 Minute |
The level 2 reward is more than double what the construction mission paid, and level 3 adds only 10 Tritanium on top. Drydock C’s level 2 mission pays twice as much again.
Tips
Chain the Drydock B upgrades together. Levels 2, 3 and 4 share one Operations requirement and each takes minutes to build, so their missions can be cleared in a single sitting.
Use the three 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups on small hull damage. They are too short to matter on a badly damaged ship.
The mission that unlocks this one is Upgrade Drydock A to Level 3. More station missions by level are on the mission guide.
