Upgrade Tritanium Generator B to Level 4 is an early station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. The single objective is to raise Tritanium Generator B to level 4. It runs at warp 1 from start to finish and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 180 Tritanium and two 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups, and completing it unlocks Upgrade Operations to Level 8. The upgrade itself takes about two minutes and costs 1,000 Parsteel, so this is a quick step in the early station line.
Upgrade Tritanium Generator B to Level 4 objectives
The story line describes the Tritanium Generator as producing a resource that ship construction depends on. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Tritanium Generator B to Level 4.
No system, hostile or donation is involved. The mission completes when Tritanium Generator B reaches level 4.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The mission happens entirely on your station.
The recommended level is listed as 1, and at this stage that is accurate: the upgrade is cheap and fast.
What the level 4 upgrade costs
Current game data for Tritanium Generator B in this range:
| Level | Cost | Build time | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 600 Parsteel | 2m | Operations 7, Tritanium Generator A 3 |
| 4 | 1,000 Parsteel | 2m | Operations 7, Tritanium Generator A 4 |
| 5 | 1,600 Parsteel | 4m | Operations 7, Tritanium Generator A 5 |
Each level of Generator B needs Tritanium Generator A at the same level, so A has to stay ahead. Generator B itself unlocks at Operations 7 once Generator A is built.
Upgrade Tritanium Generator B to Level 4 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 180 |
| 1 Minute Repair Speed Up | 2 |
Completing it unlocks the next station mission, Upgrade Operations to Level 8, which pays 350 Tritanium and three 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups.

What Generator B does
The Tritanium Generators produce Tritanium, and production rises with each level: current game data puts base output at 15 per hour at level 1 and 75 per hour at level 5. Generator B is also one of only two Tritanium Generators with a Shield Health Bonus for all ships, which is unlocked at Syndicate Level 33 and sits at 5% when the generator is at level 5.
Tips
Upgrade Generator A to 4 first. It is a requirement for this level, and the previous mission in the line is Upgrade Tritanium Generator B to Level 3.
Collect from your generators often at this stage, since their storage is small. Generator storage is only 225 Tritanium at level 5.
