Upgrade Parsteel Warehouse to Level 5 is one of the first station missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. The single objective is to raise your Parsteel Warehouse to level 5. It runs at warp 1 from start to finish and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 70 Tritanium and a 1 Minute Repair Speed Up, and completing it unlocks the Parsteel Generator A level 7 mission. It is a tiny reward for a six-minute upgrade, and its real job is to keep the early station line moving.
Upgrade Parsteel Warehouse to Level 5 objectives
The story line says to upgrade the Parsteel Warehouse to store more Parsteel in the form of ingots. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Parsteel Warehouse to Level 5.
No system, hostile or donation is involved. The mission completes when the Parsteel Warehouse reaches level 5.
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, and at this point in the game that matches reality: the upgrade is cheap and quick.
What the level 5 upgrade costs
Current game data for the Parsteel Warehouse in this range:
| Level | Cost | Build time | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 70 Parsteel | 4m | Operations 3, Parsteel Generator A 3 |
| 4 | 120 Parsteel | 5m | Operations 4, Parsteel Generator B 4 |
| 5 | 350 Parsteel | 6m 30s | Operations 5, Parsteel Generator A 5 |
| 6 | 1,000 Parsteel | 8m | Operations 6, Parsteel Generator A 6 |
Level 5 needs Operations 5 and Parsteel Generator A 5. The Parsteel Warehouse raises the maximum Parsteel you can stock from your generators: current game data puts that capacity at 21,500 at level 5 and 41,500 at level 10.
Upgrade Parsteel Warehouse to Level 5 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 70 |
| 1 Minute Repair Speed Up | 1 |
Completing it unlocks the next station mission, Upgrade Parsteel Generator A: Level 7.
How it compares with other Parsteel Warehouse missions
Current game data for the Parsteel Warehouse missions with published guides:
| Mission | Reward |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | 30 Tritanium |
| Level 4 | 40 Tritanium |
| Level 5 | 70 Tritanium, 1 × 1 Minute Repair Speed Up |
| Level 27 | 100,000 Tritanium, 2 × 15 Minute Repair Speed Up |
Level 5 is the first of these to add a repair speed up. By level 27 the Tritanium reward has grown to 100,000.
Level 6 costs 1,000 Parsteel, nearly three times the level 5 price, so the cost curve starts to climb right after this mission.
Tips
Upgrade Parsteel Generator A to 5 first. It is both the requirement for this warehouse level and the mission that comes right before this one, Upgrade Parsteel Generator A to Level 5.
Keep the warehouse ahead of your generators. A higher warehouse level means more Parsteel can pile up between collections, which matters once your generators produce more than the store can hold.
The building itself, with its full cost table, is covered on the warehouses and vaults page.
