Where are the USS Franklin Blueprints Located in Star Trek: Fleet Command

Where are the USS Franklin Blueprints located in Star Trek: Fleet Command? is the most asked question in the community, as many want to get their hands on all the Blueprints. The USS Franklin is among the most adorned Starfleet ships and was the first-ever Earth ship capable of reaching warp 4. Players can build the USS Franklin ship in Star Trek: Fleet Command with the help of blueprints. But how does one get the USS Franklin Blueprints located in Star Trek: Fleet Command?

Where are the USS Franklin Blueprints Located in Star Trek: Fleet Command?

In Star Trek: Fleet Command, you need 90 blueprints to construct the USS Franklin. Furthermore, you will also need a level 17 shipyard. The best and cheapest way to get the USS Franklin is by completing the occasionally held Franklin events. You can easily earn 45 blueprints by completing a mining and a hostile hunting event. However, the problem is that these events don’t come up in the game often, further increasing the rarity.

The USS Franklin Blueprints are even made available for purchase in the in-game store from time to time. All of this has led many players in the community to believe that the USS Franklin Blueprints are somewhat pay to play. While some can be earned from missions or available from the faction store, players mostly need to purchase the blueprints.

Franklin and Franklin-A

Sourcing franklin blueprints, sourcing the franklin-a, swarm biomineral refinery, swarm biotic refinery, frequency modulators to frequency modulators mark ii converter, swarm dailies.

The Franklin tends to be a workhorse for you. It does one thing, and one thing only, but it does it quite well. It kills Swarm. The higher its level, the higher the swarm you can kill.

To source blueprints, you will need to complete the Saturday events during the battle pass, which will allow you to source 10% of them each time. Or, of course, you can always pull out your credit card.

To upgrade it, you need parts that are farmed off swarm vessels. Swarm vessels can be found in the following systems:

Once you get to higher levels, the Franklin no longer will be enough for you. You will need a Franklin-A, which at tier 1 is stronger than a max tier Franklin.

To get the Franklin-A, you must have Shipyard Level 35. To get the blueprints for it, you must either scrap a Franklin, or pay for it. When you scrap a Franklin (requires Scrapyard 35), the amount of Blueprints you get for Franklin-A is based on ship level, not on the tier. So you must spend XP or kill hostiles with it to get it to the correct level. Do not waste any modulators on components for the last tier you're planning on scrapping it at, as they are not necessary for the scrap.

Conversely, because it takes about 5 million modulators to upgrade from Tier 1 to Tier 8, and then another 10 million to go from Tier 8-Tier 9, many people only upgrade their Franklin to Tier 8 and then pay 20 real money for the last 50 blueprints needed.

Once you've got a Franklin-A, you no longer need the original modulators. In your refiniery, you will have this option now. You can however farm them and use them to get more Mark II parts for the Franklin-A.

As your level increases, you need to kill progressively more and bigger swarm hostiles. This is the list by level as far as I have it.

Star trek fleet command Attacking the Swarm!!! & Doing missions. (Live Stream)

The USS Franklin is one of Starfleet's most decorated ships , despite having disappeared over 100 years ago. It was the first-ever Earth ship capable of reaching warp 4. After many successful missions, the Franklin mysteriously vanished after traveling through the Gagarin Radiation Belt. It was found in the year 2263 by the crew of the Enterprise. They were able to utilize the ship's antiquated technology to defeat Krall and his Swarm .

The USS Franklin-A

Carnac | April 6, 2021 April 6, 2021 | Independent Ship , Ships

This month we’ve got a new ship, the USS Franklin-A. It’s an updated version of the USS Franklin you’ve come to know over the past year and a half. Like the old ship, it’s a swarm killer.

The problem with higher level players is that, other than on Swarm Sunday, the Franklin has become obsolete. You can do the dailies if need be, and this will give you some nice repair speed ups. But in terms of the resources you can get from biominerals, it’s useless. When your next station upgrade costs billions in parsteel, getting 7 million parsteel a day isn’t going to make that much of an impact.

So we’ll see new biominerals that will pay more in resources. But you’ll get them by defeating new higher level swarm, level 37+, and in new swarm systems.

For the purposes of this article, I’m going to assume that you’re familiar with the original Franklin, and I will be discussing the new ship in comparison with the old one.

Franklin-A Ship Ability

It’s a swarm killer. Period. Here’s a chart comparing the bonus to damage against swarm by the old ship and the new ship, by level. You can see that the old ship has a bigger bonus out of the box, but the new Franklin quickly overtakes it. And by level 60, hit a whopping 500,000%.

Of course, the other difference is that your new ship will be stronger by level than the old one.

Whereas the old Franklin only had three energy weapons that each fired once per round, the Franklin-A is also outfitted with two kinetic weapons and one energy weapon. So keep this in mind when you’re looking at the chart above, especially in the early rounds. While your damage percentage will look similar between the two ships until about level 10, you’re going to be taking more shots with the Franklin-A. With it’s odd firing pattern, it averages out to two more shots per round.

What About My Old Franklin?

If you’re wondering if you can now scrap old Franklins, you can. Here’s what you’ll get for a maxed-out Franklin.

It is a bit disappointing that even though you’ve poured a bunch of G2 and G3 common materials in, you’re not going to be getting any out when you scrap it.

Your new Franklin should come out of the box at about the same strength as your old one. And scrapping your old Franklin will give you 200 Advanced Data Cores, which is the exact amount you’ll need to buy the 200 blueprints you’ll need for your new ship.

Upgrading Your Franklin-A

Here’s what it’s going to cost you to upgrade your Franklin-A. You’ll notice that like its older brother, it switches over from one grade to another, this time from Grade 3 mats to Grade 4 at tier 5. And like the Franklin, it needs frequency modulators, obtained by killing swarm, though this time, their tier 2 modulators. You will be able to exchange your old modulators for the tier 2 ones, though the exchange rate is not 1:1.

You’ll also note that the tiers are gated by level. You’ll need to be level 35 to build the ship, level 37 to get to tier 2, and level 39 to get it to tier 3.

All in all, in terms of materials, this isn’t all that expensive, especially when you consider that this is a G4 ship, and that the costs above don’t reflect any of the efficiency technologies.

The USS Terror

This ship refit that you’ll be able to earn in Franklin event in April 2021 will give you a massive buff to damage against Swarm.

Your Franklin Officer

And for the first time, we’ve got an officer whose ability is specifically tied to a ship. The long-awaited Jaylah is here, and she’ll give you a shot bonus each round on your Franklin and Franklin-A.

And there will be… SWARM ARMADAS that will give you a chance to earn Jaylah shards. They’ll cost 100 Rare Armada Directives to launch.

How to Get Ship Blueprints in Star Trek Fleet Command

When you’re playing a game titled Star Trek Fleet Command , it becomes quickly apparent that upgrading to bigger and better ships would very obviously be a wise investment. More ships in your fleet means more units to send out to mine for resources and engage with hostile targets. Though some ships can be unlocked through research in the R & D Department, for others, you will have to acquire ship blueprints through force. Blueprints will typically be in the possession of high-level enemies, and it will most definitely be a challenge to take them down. Here’s how to get ship blueprints in Star Trek Fleet Command .

If you are not confident about your current fleet’s combat capabilities, it may be worth focusing on improving your R & D Department first in order to bolster your fleet’s numbers.

In the Shipyard, you will be able to check a prospective ship’s details, and it will reveal whether the necessary schematics can be acquired through combat, or research.

Understanding the importance of improving your fleet’s firepower and harboring internal development is key to success in Star Trek Fleet Command. If you are able to strike a balance, the two can work in tandem, allowing you to progress much more smoothly.

Soon your fleet will strike fear across the galaxy! All will hear your name and tremble, so make sure it’s something much more intimidating than KoolDaddy232852.
