When I first started playing Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) there were maybe a dozen or so daily goals. Fast forward to today and there are so many things to do on a daily basis: Daily Goals, Gifts, Faction Reputation, Events, Away Teams, Syndicate, etc. The quantity of things that can be, or need to be (depending on your perspective), performed on a daily basis are so numerous that it is difficult to keep track. Now, this is not all bad as this means that you have a multitude of playing options on a daily basis. However, it does create more opportunities to forget something: did I join my Faction Reputation for the one I’m working on, did I check the Faction Store for each faction to claim the message rewards, did I check the Faction Store for Rogue and Augment Rewards, did I check the Refinery, did I check the Away Teams Gift Store, did I check the Consumables Gift Store, etc. I can tell you that I have forgotten some of these multiple times.

To overcome the issue of forgetting items, I decided to create a sort of checklist to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Obviously, your check list can be a mental one or a physical one, whatever works best for you. To help you get started below is a list of the locations where you can find the things that you can do on a daily basis. This list is also the basis for the sections within this article.

Let’s dive into the details of each of these sections and I will share some recommendations as to what to do when you get there.
