Upgrade Shipyard: Level 3 is one of the first station missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. Its only objective is to raise your Shipyard to level 3. It needs just warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 75 Tritanium, and completing it unlocks Construct Drydock B, the mission for your second drydock. It is a tiny payout, but it keeps the station chain moving toward a second ship.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 3 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 3.
No system is named, no hostile is listed and nothing is donated. The mission clears as soon as the Shipyard reaches level 3.
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. At this point in the game the only thing standing between you and the reward is a short Shipyard upgrade.
Upgrade Shipyard: Level 3 rewards
The mission pays 75 Tritanium. Completing it also unlocks Construct Drydock B.
How Level 3 compares with the early Shipyard missions
The first Shipyard missions each pay a small amount of Tritanium, rising by 25 per level. Current game data:
| Mission | Tritanium reward |
|---|---|
| Upgrade Shipyard to Level 2 | 50 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 3 | 75 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 4 | 100 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 5 | 125 |
| Upgrade Shipyard: Level 6 | 150 |
The pattern holds all the way to Level 6, where the reward reaches 150 Tritanium. None of these early Shipyard missions pay anything else.
Where it sits in the station chain
The early station missions form one chain. Before this one, Upgrade R&D Department to Level 4 leads into Upgrade Shipyard to Level 2, which leads here. In current game data, the Shipyard itself unlocks at Operations 5 and R&D Department 4, and the R&D Department 4 mission sits right before the Shipyard missions begin.
After Level 3, the chain moves to Construct Drydock B. That mission’s story line is about building a second drydock to deploy an additional ship for active use and station defense, and it pays 120 Tritanium and a 1 Minute Repair Speed Up.
What the Shipyard does early on
The Shipyard raises Ship Construction Speed and Tier Up Speed for all your ships. Both buffs start at level 2 with 3% and reach 6% at level 5, so the first few levels add small but steady gains.
Tips
Keep upgrading while the chain is short. Early Shipyard levels finish quickly, and each one unlocks the next station mission straight away. Drydock B needs the research Fleet Commander at level 1 before you can build it, so check your research queue as you reach this point. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
