I met with the concept of a Foundry mission acting as such. It was a section of ESD where freshly joined fellows could meet and chat with the NPC counterparts of the fleet leaders. It was fun and informative.
They are talking about Fleet Spacestations and possibly some sort of territorial control element to them in Season 6. A LOT of us have been waiting for them for a couple of years now.
Q: (anazonda) What are short and long term plans for Fleets?
Dstahl: The short and long term plan for Fleets revolves around providing goals for Fleets to achieve that will provide benefit to its members. Our goal is to challenge Fleets to accomplish major objectives that will help define and differentiate Fleets from one another. This will most likely involve allowing a Fleet to construct and maintain their own Starbase in the game. Im hoping to be able to confirm which elements of this plan are coming in Season 6 by the next Ask Cryptic.
yes i was told by another player about the starbases. i was told that it is going to cost about 500 million energy credits. my members are constantly asking me of when this is going to happen and what is the price of the base. Me and my fleet are very interested in this concept. I have over 100 members in my fleet and we are still growing. can someone please tell me if this is really going to happen and if so how much is the cost and what is the deadline. thanks.
We're working on it. This is what Heretic has been feverishly shaking out lately. I've done a bunch of prototype work for the system space, and the exterior of your base, but that's all very Work in Progress, and there isn't much we can discuss now. Everything is subject to change at any time.
This has been on the drawing board since the game's release and was at the time on the long term goal and is obviously closer to becoming a reality. I suspect it could see the light of day by year's end or sooner since Cryptic has been reworking the exploration side (projected as a July patch) of things and wanting to collapse the loading zones so it can be just one massive map in which that is being reworked also, but they haven't really given a timetable for that.
