Upgrade Operations to Level 28 is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: raise your Operations building to level 28. It starts and finishes at warp 1, and the game lists a recommended level of 1, so the upgrade is the only real requirement. The reward is 1,500,000 Tritanium and three 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups. That is far more Tritanium than Operations 28 itself costs.
Upgrade Operations to Level 28 objectives
The mission text 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 28.
No system, hostile or donation is involved. The mission completes when Operations reaches level 28.
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 cannot finish until Operations 28 is built, so the building is the gate.
Upgrade Operations to Level 28 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 1,500,000 |
| 15 Minute Repair Speed Up | 3 |
In the game’s station mission chain, this one follows Upgrade Shipyard: Level 27, and completing it unlocks Upgrade Defense Platform A to Level 26.
What Operations 28 costs
Current building data puts the upgrade at these resources, before any cost reductions:
| Resource | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 13,659,800 |
| Tritanium | 251,100 |
| Dilithium | 83,700 |
| 3★ Common Refined Ore | 1,210 |
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore | 230 |
The unboosted build time is 10 days 7 hours 12 minutes. Before you can start you need Shipyard 27 and Engine Technology Lab 27.
The 1,500,000 Tritanium reward is roughly six times the Tritanium that Operations 28 costs. Parsteel and refined ore are the real bill at this level, so the Tritanium is best saved for the next few upgrades.
How Level 28 compares with nearby steps
Every Operations level in this range has its own mission. Current game data:
| Mission | Tritanium | Repair speed ups |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Upgrade Operations to Level 30 | 2,500,000 | 1 × 1 Hour |
The Tritanium climbs by 250,000 per level from 26 to 29, then jumps at Level 30. Level 28 is the first to pay three repair speed ups instead of two.
Tips
Check the Engine Technology Lab. Operations 28 is the level that asks for it, so a lab left behind will hold this upgrade up.
Look ahead to Operations 29, which needs Shipyard 28, Parsteel Warehouse 27 and Science Lab 28. Its Tritanium cost is 399,750, well inside what this mission pays. Other station and story missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
