STFC players have to complete main missions to advance in the game, though you can also complete side missions, Holodeck missions, Daily Goals and Away Team missions.
To progress in Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) you have to complete various missions, but keep in mind that every mission requires that you complete specific tasks to earn rewards.
There are several categories of missions that you can enjoy, namely, main missions, away team missions, daily missions, side missions as well as event missions.
The most important missions are the main missions. As you advance through the game, following and completing the main mission chains are crucial as they will not only unlock paths, but they will significantly impact your gameplay.
Players should note that the main missions can be identified by a golden border which surrounds the mission title.
The main missions are not optional as they form the backbone of STFC, therefore, we recommend that you complete them as soon as possible.
As you explore the galaxy, you may come across side missions which are optional missions for which players have to complete quick tasks.
Although it is not mandatory that you complete these missions, we recommend that you complete them as they will provide you with rich rewards, including experience points.
Once you have reached a specific level in STFC, you will unlock away team missions. Unlike with the main and side missions, you do not physically have to finish the task as you will be sending a vessel along with a crew to complete this mission.
Keep in mind, however, that away missions can take several days to complete, but the rewards that you will get when your crew returns is extremely valuable.
Players should also note that the officers and vessels that they send to complete an away mission cannot be used in other content while they are away.
Away team missions
There are several away team missions that you can complete to earn valuable rewards. The table below lists some of the missions that you can complete:

Daily Goals
In addition to the main missions, side missions and away team missions, Commanders can complete daily missions or goals, to earn rewards.
As these names imply, these missions are available on a daily basis, however, you only have the day that they are available to complete them.
These missions refresh daily and if you did not complete the previous day’s missions, you will no longer have access to them.
Daily Goals can be accessed by clicking on the yellow mission button, which is on the left side of the screen.
In the new menu, you have to click on the Daily Goals tab to view the missions that you can complete for the day.
Players can complete goals listed on the Daily Goals page to earn points and once you have acquired enough points, you will earn milestone rewards.
Keep in mind, however, that your points, milestone rewards and goals reset every 24 hours.
Holodeck
The Holodeck allows players to revisit missions from STFC’s past, but unfortunately, only players level 15 and higher can enjoy this feature.
Once you reach level 15, you will find a new mission in your gift section which allows you to construct the Holodeck.
Players have to purchase a mission by spending the required Pattern Buffers. The content is not limited to past missions, but missions which are tied to the ongoing arc will also be available in the Holodeck instead of the Event store.
Monarchs can therefore enjoy previous arc missions through the Holodeck, but keep in mind that you can only have 54 active and archived missions.
Mission requirements
It is clear that there is an abundance of missions that you can complete in STFC, but every mission that you can complete has specific requirements that have to be met. The requirement includes a minimum level and a minimum warp range.
Commanders can also complete mission chains, however, you have to complete the mission parts in chronological order. This means that you cannot complete part 3 of a mission if you have not completed the first 2 parts.
