We Need to Talk is a late-game Star Trek Fleet Command story mission, recommended for level 58, in which you meet with the Enterprise. It starts at warp 1 but needs warp 205 to finish, with stops in Rylan and Zytallis. The mission is only three objectives long, but the last one is a Starfleet vessel of about 41.7 million strength. The reward is 32,400,000 Tritanium, a 1 Day Peace Shield and 2,500 Ship XP, and it unlocks the next part of the chain.
We Need to Talk objectives
There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Meet with the Enterprise. Location: Rylan.
- Return to the staging area. Location: Zytallis.
- Defeat the Starfleet vessel. Location: Zytallis. Enemy strength is roughly 41,714,474.
The first two steps are travel. You meet the Enterprise in Rylan and then head back to the staging area in Zytallis. The Starfleet vessel waits in Zytallis, and beating it completes the mission.
That final fight is the whole challenge. At roughly 41,714,474 strength, it is the step that decides whether you can finish.
Where and what warp
Warp is 1 to start and 205 to complete. The two named systems are Rylan and Zytallis, and warp 205 is the figure that covers the route.
The recommended level is 58. Between that level, the warp 205 requirement and the 41.7 million-strength fight, this is an end-game mission.
The mission ends in Zytallis after the fight. There is no return-to-station step.
We Need to Talk rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 32,400,000 |
| 1 Day Peace Shield | 1 |
| Ship XP | 2,500 |
Completing We Need to Talk also unlocks the next part of the chain.
The Tritanium is the headline at 32.4 million. The peace shield gives you a day of protection to use when you choose, and the 2,500 Ship XP is a small extra.

Tips
Bring your strongest combat ship and check it against 41.7 million before you go. There is no warm-up fight, so the Starfleet vessel is the first and only combat test.
Arrive at full health. The steps in Rylan and Zytallis are travel-only until the final objective, so nothing before the fight should wear your ship down.
Save the peace shield. A one-day shield is most useful when you are about to go offline or want to hold resources safely, so keep it for that moment rather than using it straight away.
Put the Tritanium to work. At 32.4 million, it is by far the largest part of the payout. Every other mission, sorted by level, is on the mission guide.
