Upgrade Operations to Level 26 is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with a single objective: raise Operations to level 26. It needs warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1, so the building upgrade is the whole task. The reward is 1,000,000 Tritanium and two 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups, and finishing it unlocks the Shipyard 26 mission. That is close to three times what the Operations 24 mission pays.
Upgrade Operations to Level 26 objectives
The story line describes Operations as the home of the command center and the Station’s main computer. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Operations to Level 26.
No system is named, no hostile is listed and nothing is donated. The mission clears when Operations reaches level 26.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. Everything happens on your station.
The recommended level is listed as 1, but the mission only completes once Operations 26 is built, so the upgrade and its building requirements are the real gate.
Upgrade Operations to Level 26 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 1,000,000 |
| 15 Minute Repair Speed Up | 2 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next station mission, Upgrade Shipyard: Level 26.
What Operations 26 asks for
The building data lists these requirements and costs for Operations level 26:
| Requirement | Listed value |
|---|---|
| Buildings | Shipyard 25, Defense Platform C 25 |
| Parsteel | 5.967M |
| Tritanium | 109,688 |
| Dilithium | 36,563 |
| 3★ Common Refined Ore | 860 |
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore | 120 |
| Build time | About 7 days 19 hours |
The 1,000,000 Tritanium reward is roughly nine times the Tritanium listed in the base cost of this level, so this mission leaves you with a large surplus to carry into the next few upgrades.
How Level 26 compares with nearby steps
| Mission | Tritanium | Repair speed ups |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade Operations to Level 24 | 350,000 | 2 × 10 Minute |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 26 | 1,000,000 | 2 × 15 Minute |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 27 | 1,250,000 | 2 × 15 Minute |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 28 | 1,500,000 | 3 × 15 Minute |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 29 | 1,750,000 | 3 × 15 Minute |
From Level 26 the Tritanium rises by a steady 250,000 per level. The repair speed ups also step up here, from 10 minutes at Level 24 to 15 minutes at Level 26, and a third one is added at Level 28.
Tips
Get Defense Platform C to 25 alongside the Shipyard. It is the less obvious of the two listed requirements, so check its level before you plan around the Operations 26 start date.
Keep the Tritanium moving. Shipyard 26 comes next in the sequence, and the listed requirements for Operations 27 include Shipyard 26, so the reward from this mission feeds straight into that upgrade.
Previous mission: Upgrade the Shipyard: Level 25. Next mission: Upgrade Shipyard: Level 26. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
