  Just wanted to add a "thanks" to this... This event was very helpful to my small fleet. :-) Much appreciated!

• nalo @ Aug 20th, 2012 1:42AM

  Hope to have these at least once a month ;)

  Lol, a week to fill up a project. Look up Section 31 -T.A.S.- and mention Lucho sent you. We have a full tier 2 SB and tier 3 science filled up today. Our projects up until now at the most take half a day to fill up.

  Maybe having either dilithium or fleet marks for each rank (Lieutant, Lieutant Commander, Commander, Captain, Rear Admiral Lower, Rear Admiral Upper) as with the Klingon ranks, too because Vice Admiral has dailies that you get dilithium. This will free up all of the FvE events for Fleet Marks. This should help in the Fleet Marks.

  @ jamesbond2012... "I'm having an incredibly hard time trying to jump through hoops to actually make a fleet." Join one. "And no, I don't want to join one. I want to own one. I'd like to give it my own unique name and rank names." With a name like jamesbond2012, do you really care about the uniqueness of the rank names? I doubt it. It comes down to the first part... you want to own it. News flash... making the fleet does not mean you own it. I am the leader of a fleet, and guess what, I have to answer to the members or they will leave. I own nothing. "Style it so that it benefits the most players and things of that nature." Cannot really do this. All fleets have the same options. Only the rank names and uniforms can be changed, so even if you make a fleet it will be just like all the rest, just way behind on building the base. "But I just can't get good help these days." Likely because they are in an established fleet. Why would they join a new fleet, when they can join one with a Tier I or Tier II starbase, shipyard and stuff? Answer: Most of them will not. "I would certainly like to use my fleet marks I'm just stowing away and build a starbase. But I need to build my fleet first." No, you can use them, and use them better, by joining a fleet that has proven they can succeed.

  At you guys have a fleet. I'm having an incredibly hard time trying to jump through hoops to actually make a fleet. And no, I don't want to join one. I want to own one. I'd like to give it my own unique name and rank names. Style it so that it benefits the most players and things of that nature. But I just can't get good help these days. I would certainly like to use my fleet marks I'm just stowing away and build a starbase. But I need to build my fleet first.

• darramouss1 @ Aug 16th, 2012 8:29AM

  Any notification when foundry missions will be able to be rated by players again?

• palpha2clearance @ Aug 16th, 2012 5:48AM

  Blood waffles :p

• jumpingjs @ Aug 16th, 2012 5:11AM

  The annoying thing for me is my fleet have got so many marks , they can fill up a project in one go, I mean I can. So mine keep pileing up! Also What about a special project with 10 to the 7 expertise. So no more annoying dillithium for pointless projects but "free" expertise which comes easier, and therefore rendors the special projects less useless.

• krinkutadmlbubba

  Problem with them piling up? Sounds odd... At least your projects get done, my fleet takes 2-3 days to do one of the Tac/Sci/Eng projects, it's taken us almost a week to do the "Upgrade Starbase" mission.

• sh0cklance

  I've had to reassure my fleetmates that you just need to be patient... things will slow down as we go as more items and marks will be needed to fill projects out. Keep checking in.

• aquitaine985 @ Aug 16th, 2012 4:49AM

  Could we have fleet marks for PVP sooner rather then later please.

• vondakrmoor @ Aug 16th, 2012 12:20AM

  hey guys i have my own idea, i love the idea of getting these fleet marks from the event btw. But something iwould like to see would be fleet marks as a reward for fleet teams doing STF's. my reasoning behind this is simple, new players coming into the fleets would have people to run the fleet STF's getting them some nice gear, dilithium would help to wards the fleet build projects, and of course if they are new players running the stf's with all fleet members would improve fleet relationships between each other making the fleet itself stronger.

• diogene0

  No, otherwise poeple would play STFs only. Stop being obsessed by dilithium. Your problem is solved. :)

• zeroknightdx @ Aug 15th, 2012 11:13PM

  i know we spin a lot of dilithum then fleet marks that adds up to alot of zen and the long run we need more dilithum events

• kuwayuo @ Aug 15th, 2012 10:28PM

  I earrn fleetmarks that way already since my toons can swap in and out on a daily bases. Could seen a dilithum week to build up extra dil. with high cost of dilithum project cost of 200k or better to complete.

• silverfaustx @ Aug 15th, 2012 7:43PM

  who decided that dosi rogut only gave 2 marks !!

• chandlerashari

  SAME PROBLEM lololol XD, our fleet is giving out a "Desi Hero" title to the guy who can contribute the DRotguts needed lol

• crashdragon @ Aug 15th, 2012 7:05PM

  Still don't know what to do with the marks I was lumped with. Should be able to sell them on the exchange. And no, I won't join up with a fleet. Bad enough being lumped with useless marks.

• johncampbell07

  There is a way to sell them if you wish. Find a fleet buyer, join the fleet, get the energy credits for your marks you put into that fleet, leave the fleet. End of story. Just a thought and can be accomplished in mere minutes.

• brackynews

  JC07 is totally right. Belonging to a fleet is incidental. You can RP a privateer if you want, and get to trade for your ultraviolet gear if you want. Once fleets have more provisions than they know what to do with, I'm sure many will be open to polite traders.

• ddesjardins @ Aug 15th, 2012 6:10PM

  PVP IMO has been on the way out for some time. It's boring except for those who spawn camp and giggle. I for one am very glad PVP is on it's way out.

• dantrainor @ Aug 15th, 2012 5:03PM

  What, no pvp marks?

• astroviking @ Aug 15th, 2012 4:28PM

  cross faction defending stations from the borg? and I WANT omega force/ maco force fighters with antiproton weapons!!!!!

• kimony @ Aug 15th, 2012 3:57PM

  The Klingon starbase in the photo above looks like an intergalactic Ihop. lol.

• stormageddon1

  You have no idea how much I laughed at that...

• rowga

  o..m..g.. I hate you! Now I will never look at those bases the same way again. LoL

• brackynews

  IMPERIAL HOUSE OF PAIN. I'm going to rename our KDF base tomorrow just for that... ;)

• fauth1972

  lol

• captdj

  Watch out the Gah will give you the runs

• sh0cklance

  Funny.. looks more like Pizza Hut to me

• cannonfodder911 @ Aug 15th, 2012 3:35PM

  there are chat channels available to team up with other players and fill out a team of either faction before entering the fleet events queues. these will invariably decrease wait times for KDF teams to go into certain event. unfortunately some require 15 or more players... good luck with those either faction. I sometimes read a book waiting fro those to fill on my feddie toon when the "fleet event hour" isn't active. one such is PublicEliteSTF which mostly deals with STF's but you can get fleet action teams together as well. Don't troll though as admins WILL kick you for trolling, thanks

• nennavari

  The only reason anyone joins that sorry excuse for a channel IS to troll. I can't believe you didn't get that when you were trying to set it up and was facing mockery left right and center. Just quit your whining and stick to the rules of the EliteSTF channel (which let's face it, are perfectly logical). My God, every time I see you desperately trying to grab for new members a part of me dies inside - the channel is utterly redundant considering that there's already a massive, well maintained and moderated channel doing exactly the same thing.

• wildchild8

  @Nennavari, actually i set up PublicEliteStf, games run without a hitch on a regular basis, and while people are free to chat away there is little trolling if any, and none i have had to mute on channel. as for being redundant, myself and the people running regular games on PublicEliteStf would disagree. Not everyone has access to the private stf channel, so my channel provides a resource that is lacking for many, and without fear of being kicked for rules they may not have been aware of. As for grabbing members we have currently grown to over 780 and continue to grow every week. While i appreciate your comments, I present you the facts. Come check us out and see you on channel.

• fogerty1 @ Aug 15th, 2012 3:33PM

  Great, will be entertaining watching the noobs stumbling all over screwing missions up as usual.

• matteo716maikai @ Aug 15th, 2012 3:26PM

  nice to see pvp is excluded once again. way to be consistant. i mean really... i'd think pvp would be somewhat fleetish since it does require a team of people...... guess me and my fleet are doing it wrong.

• brackynews

  If they will bring back cross-faction starbase invites, I will 100% support fleet PVP events. Sick my targs on those tribbles.

• longasc @ Aug 15th, 2012 3:08PM

  Nice

• aquitaine985 @ Aug 15th, 2012 2:29PM

  I like this idea, our fleet isn't struggling for fleet marks but this will be extra useful for our "Get drunk, come on TS and play until we fall off our chairs" fleet event on Friday.

• kandyman2012 @ Aug 15th, 2012 2:13PM

  Who the hell brought up cross faction?!? this post has nothing to do with that topic

• genhauk

  As a KDF player, I did ... first comment as well. This event is a great thing ... but it doesn't help KDF fleets and players when we are stuck waiting for queues to launch or not pop. ... And those things are becoming common place. Did not start it to be ugly, but it has to be brought up and attention drawn to it. It's a real problem.
