Upgrade Shipyard: Level 28 is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: raise the Shipyard to level 28. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 600,000 Tritanium, and finishing it unlocks Upgrade Parsteel Warehouse to Level 27. Shipyard 28 is also one of the three buildings Operations 29 needs, so this mission is part of the push to Operations 29.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 28 objectives
The story line says to upgrade the Shipyard to gain access to new and more powerful ships. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Shipyard to Level 28.
There is no system, hostile or donation. The mission completes when the Shipyard reaches level 28.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and to complete, and no pickup system. It all happens on your station. The recommended level is listed as 1, but the upgrade is the only thing that decides when you finish.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 28 rewards
The mission pays 600,000 Tritanium. Completing it also unlocks the next mission in the station chain, Upgrade Parsteel Warehouse to Level 27.
Why Shipyard 28 matters
Operations 29 requires Shipyard 28, Parsteel Warehouse 27 and Science Lab 28. That is why the next mission in the chain is the Parsteel Warehouse: the chain is walking you through the requirements for the next Operations level.
Shipyard 28 also gates Ship Hangar 28, Refinery 28 and Scrapyard 28, each together with Operations 28.
The Shipyard bonuses are well into double digits by now. Ship Construction Speed and Tier Up Speed are both 51% at level 25 and 69% at level 30. The milestone levels on either side of 28 give an idea of the cost:
| Shipyard level | Cost | Build time |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | 700 3★ Common Refined Crystal, 46,800 Tritanium, 2.864M Parsteel, 80 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal | 2d 18h |
| 30 | 1,600 3★ Common Refined Crystal, 390,000 Tritanium, 23.87M Parsteel, 390 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal | 5d 21h |
How Level 28 compares with nearby steps
| Mission | Tritanium |
|---|---|
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 26 | 400,000 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 27 | 500,000 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 28 | 600,000 |
The reward rises by 100,000 Tritanium per level through the late twenties. The missions immediately before and after this one in the chain, the Defense Platform A and Parsteel Warehouse upgrades, each pay 100,000 Tritanium and two 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups.
Tips
Plan the three Operations 29 requirements together. Science Lab 28 is not part of this stretch of the chain, so check it early and start it alongside the Shipyard if you can.
The 600,000 Tritanium covers a good share of the next few upgrades in this range, since the Shipyard 30 milestone asks for 390,000.
The mission before this one is Upgrade Defense Platform A to Level 26, and the next is Upgrade Parsteel Warehouse to Level 27. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
