Upgrade Shipyard: Level 26 is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: raise your Shipyard to level 26. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1, so the upgrade is the only real requirement. The reward is 400,000 Tritanium, and completing it unlocks the next station mission. Since Shipyard 26 is also needed for Operations 27, this is a mission most players finish on the way to their next Operations level.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 26 objectives
There is a single objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Shipyard to Level 26.
The mission text repeats the game’s reason for upgrading: a better Shipyard gives access to new and more powerful ships. There is no system to visit, no hostile and no donation. The mission clears when the Shipyard reaches level 26.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start, warp 1 to complete, no pickup system. Everything happens on your station.
The recommended level is listed as 1. The mission only completes once the Shipyard 26 upgrade is done, so the building requirements are what actually decide when you finish it.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 26 rewards
The reward is 400,000 Tritanium. Completing the mission also unlocks the next station mission, Upgrade Operations to Level 27.
How Level 26 compares with nearby Shipyard missions
The Shipyard missions in this range all pay Tritanium and nothing else. Current game data:
| Mission | Tritanium |
|---|---|
| Upgrade the Shipyard: Level 22 | 50,000 |
| Upgrade the Shipyard: Level 23 | 80,000 |
| Upgrade the Shipyard: Level 24 | 150,000 |
| Upgrade the Shipyard: Level 25 | 250,000 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 26 | 400,000 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 27 | 500,000 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 28 | 600,000 |
Level 26 has the largest single jump in this stretch, 150,000 more than level 25. After it the reward settles into steps of 100,000 per level.
Shipyard 26 and Operations
The Shipyard and Operations upgrades are locked together at this stage. Building data shows Operations 26 needs Shipyard 25, and Operations 27 needs Shipyard 26 plus Foundry 26. That is why this mission is unlocked by Upgrade Operations to Level 26 and leads straight into the Operations 27 mission.
For a sense of scale, the nearest Shipyard milestone in the building data, level 25, costs 46,800 Tritanium, 2.864 million Parsteel, 700 3★ Common Refined Crystal and 80 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal, with a listed build time of 2d 18h. The 400,000 Tritanium from this mission covers far more than the Tritanium that milestone asks for.
Tips
Line up Foundry 26 before you finish this upgrade. Operations 27 needs both, and having Foundry ready means the next Operations mission can start straight away.
Spend the Tritanium on the Operations 27 upgrade itself, which asks for 167,400 Tritanium in the building data. This single mission reward covers that more than twice over.
