Window Shopping is a level 28 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you help Harry Mudd buy a new ship. The trader in Leone refuses to lease to Mudd, so you end up paying 125,000 Dilithium for the ship yourself, and then the mutineers chasing Mudd show up. You beat the Mutineer at roughly 153,150 strength and head home. The mission needs warp 24 to finish. The reward is 96,000 Dilithium and 23 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas.
Window Shopping objectives
There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Visit the ship trader. Location: Leone.
- Donate 125,000 Dilithium.
- Defeat the Mutineer. Location: Leone. Enemy strength is roughly 153,150.
- Return to your Station.
Leone is a level 27 rogue system. Mudd wants to lease a ship, the trader insists he buy it outright, and Mudd asks you to cover the cost. The 125,000 Dilithium is that payment. Before the deal is done, a mutineer arrives to collect on Mudd’s debts, and the trader sends you away with a promise that the ship will be delivered. Beating the Mutineer and returning to your station completes the mission.
Where and what warp
The mission can be picked up at warp 1, and completing it needs warp 24. Leone is the only system named.
The recommended level is 28. The Mutineer at about 153,150 strength is the only fight, and the Dilithium payment is the other cost to plan for.
Window Shopping rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 96,000 |
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas | 23 |
Completing it unlocks Scouting.
What the mission really costs
You pay 125,000 Dilithium and get 96,000 back, so the mission costs you 29,000 Dilithium on balance. In return you get the 23 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas and the next step in the Mudd storyline. If you are short on Dilithium, make sure you hold the full 125,000 before you reach the trader, since the mission cannot move on until you pay.
How it follows What You Sow
Window Shopping comes straight after What You Sow, in which you answer a distress signal in Seevor and pick up Mudd. Current game data for the two:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Fight | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| What You Sow | 20 | Mutineer in Seevor, about 133,290 | 1,228,000 Parsteel, 181,000 Tritanium |
| Window Shopping | 24 | Mutineer in Leone, about 153,150 | 96,000 Dilithium, 23 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas |
Both are recommended for level 28 and both end with a mutineer fight. Window Shopping needs slightly more warp and its mutineer is about 20,000 strength tougher, while What You Sow pays far more in raw resources.
Tips
Repair before the Mutineer. It comes straight after the payment, and at about 153,150 strength it is the only thing between you and the reward.
Use the Parsteel from What You Sow on your next upgrade and keep Dilithium in reserve for this mission’s payment. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
