Upgrade Operations to Level 24 is a station-building mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. Its one objective is to raise your Operations building to level 24, and it pays 350,000 Tritanium and 2 10 Minute Repair Speed Ups. It needs warp 1 to start and finish, lists a recommended level of 1, and unlocks the next Operations mission when you complete it. You finish it just by upgrading your station, so there is nothing to run.
Upgrade Operations to Level 24 objectives
The mission’s story line describes the building itself: Operations houses the command center and the Station’s main computer. The objective list is a single step:
- Upgrade Operations to Level 24.
There is no choice split, no travel and no combat. The objective clears when your Operations building reaches level 24.
Where and what warp
Warp is 1 to start and 1 to complete, and no system is listed. Everything happens at your own station, so no ship needs to go anywhere and warp range does not matter.
The listed recommended level is 1. In practice, the Operations upgrade is what decides when the mission completes.
Upgrade Operations to Level 24 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 350,000 |
| 10 Minute Repair Speed Up | 2 |
Completing it also unlocks the next mission in the Operations upgrade series.
How level 24 compares with earlier Operations missions
The Operations upgrade missions follow one pattern: a single upgrade objective, a Tritanium payout and a small stack of repair speed ups. The Tritanium grows quickly from one level to the next.
| Mission | Tritanium | Repair speed ups |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade Operations to Level 19 | 9,000 | 2 5 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 20 | 35,000 | 2 10 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 21 | 50,000 | 2 10 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 22 | 100,000 | 2 10 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 24 | 350,000 | 2 10 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
Level 24 pays 3.5 times the Tritanium of the level 22 mission, while the speed ups stay the same. Between level 20 and level 24 the speed up reward does not change, so the Tritanium is where the value grows.
Tips
Collect it as soon as Operations reaches 24. The mission does not need a ship or a trip, so the only thing between you and 350,000 Tritanium is claiming it. That Tritanium is ten times the level 20 payout, so it is worth checking your mission log after the upgrade finishes.
Keep the two repair speed ups for a busy session. Ten minutes each is small, but they come in handy when a ship returns damaged and you want it back out quickly.
The neighboring missions in the series are Upgrade Operations to Level 23 and Upgrade Operations to Level 25, which bracket this one by level. Every other mission, sorted by level, is on the mission guide.
