Cats. As you all may or may not be aware they have introduced fleet mark bonuses. These can be bought for 15'000 fleet credits at the quartermaster in the starbase.
These are good for 100 extra marks and award at 20% of the current rate. (so if you earn 5 marks you actually get 6 and you have 99 left to get before the bonus runs out).
Now while that might not sound all that impressive, the beauty is it rounds up any time there is fractions involved. so if you earn 1 fleet mark, you actually get 2.
This work really really well on things like starbase bloackade as they awards marks per freighter and not at the end. so if you save 20 freighters, that an extra 20 on top of what you would normally earn. use it during the event windows and its a big win.
I have yet to test it on the fleet tribble or the CXP cash in, but i will confirm the results when I have them but they should work as well.

I can confirm it on the CXP cash-in. I received 90 instead of the normal 75 on a regular success.
You look like a funny fleet but there is no mention of what we can do to apply. My tac cat would be happy to find some new friends. Did I miss something in the OP?

You should contact Alecto or Commodore Bob. They should be able to help you with that.

There is no requirement to joining the fleet other than being a ferasan character. Any ferasan is welcome to join.
There are limitations on when you can use the provisioning store. You must first be a member for two months and have contributed a certain amount of items to reach 50k of fleet credits. This has been set up to make sure players are willing to contribute and prove themselves trustworthy to the fleet.
If that sounds ok then let us know your characters name and your in game handle (if its different in anyway to your forums handle) and one of us can invite you.

I don't mind about restrictions about provisioning, yours are incredibly more "fleet-member friendly" than my fed fleet ones anyway.
I've sent a message to commodore bob, but I guess I can give you the name of my char here. I have two actually, but I don't intend to wait for two months to get my little engi cat a battlecruiser so I'll buy with good old credits the rights to get a provision from another fleet before asking for an invite from him.

Thanks!
Sorry. I haven't been to the fleet since I got your email. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll add you tonight.

Just want to let everyone know that in today's patch they are making another change to the doffs.
fleet doffs can once again be used in any projects which will greatly help in speeding up construction, however the amounts players get for dismissing them has been significantly reduced but at least is now universal.
Next time one of you Shadowcat Elite or Master's are in game, can you please send out fleet mail explaing to all members what captainrevo1 stated above.
I'm just watching the end of Ghostbusters then having an early night, got a job interview tomorrow morning so have a good one, catch up with you all soon!

I'll send one out. Good luck with the job interview as well:).
And our Tier 3 Shipyard is rrrrunning!
In 7 Days we can get our T3 Ships.
Beta, LTA, CE, Multiple preorder Versions, all Addon Packs except AoY, nearly all KDF/Rom and ~50% of all Fedships, over 25 LockboxShips, Endurer of Atari's "Year of Hell", but...

Nice job all on the T3 shipyard! Sorry I've not been able to be on much to help. Been very sick and of course the day I come back on the entire game chat is down .
Just when I thought things were busy enough for me, I got more piled on top. At this rate, I may never find time to play STO again. Hopefully I can get things in better balance / find a way to not have to do as much.
Considering it took me 2 days to find 2 minutes to make this post ... well, it could be a while.
Until then, make sure the Caitian Evil is still getting reduced while I'm gone.

I wanted to address an issue regarding the special projects (the ones that take fleet marks/doffs etc and last for 30 mins).
As we are hitting the upper tiers now things are going to start getting very expensive, and while the special projects are designed for large fleets to generate fleet credits quickly, I'm not sure the fleet is large enough to continuing using these effectively.
I don't believe there is going to be a shortage of projects that requite fleet marks/dilithium going forward and most of the other requirements like the consumables provide so few credits that its often not worth the hassle, plus they tend to just get in the way when the limited time projects turn up.
So if everybody agrees I think we should stop selecting the special projects. A fleet mail would need to go out to let everybody know but first I want to make sure people agree. If people feel that we are moving through them quickly enough and see the benefit of them then fine but I think they will start to hider us more than help from now on.

Can I have some of your thoughts please?
I've thought this since day one. It hurts having resources go into a special project when slots 1-3 are open or about to open very soon. The special project slot should only be used for the featured project every 2 weeks now.
Special projects are here to generate a useless currency actually, since fleet credits have no meaningful use, except buying doffs you may use in the projects. The problem is that each project requires 600 fleetmarks, and that's something hard to get if you don't doff.
Also, I noted a MAJOR issue: slotting operational assets provisioning is a BAD idea. They require loads of specific doffs and reward 500 xp only. Op assets are everything but usefull anyway, so it would be nice not to get stucked for 4 or 5 days on them.
I agree on the Special Procjects issue (Slot 5) we are neither enough active players nor do we have more than a handfull fleetmark grinder.
Its simply frustrating to see slot 5 being filled with marks for a laughable amount of XP while multiple other far more important projects are still idle, lacking just the fleetmarks.

The last one was a Relic from the shipyard grind, normally the queues are corrected within a short time if sensless projects are queued (buffs or operations) currently we have slot 1&2 construction&research (just 1 k XP) and on slot 3 alternating personal requisitions engineering/sci.
Btw:If desired i can offer ~3000 Fleetmarks from Non-Ferasan KDF alts when the Starbase comes up (i heard rumours that the base III will take a bit over 10k and several dozend green DOFFs).

No offence intended but I'd rather not have non-Ferasan's join the fleet simply to contribute to the fleet's Shadowcat Lair, this takes the opportunity to contribute away from actual Ferasan fleet members.
As for the matter at hand, I'm personally not seeing a problem as the fleet is intended to be a casual fleet, we shouldn't feel the need to rush anything. I feel there's no need to stop special projects all together, they're there as an option for those who want to contribute.
If someone feel the need to send out fleet mail on this topic, I would suggest sending out Shadowmail simply to provide information on the mechanics of the project system, the pros and cons of contributing to one project over another. It should be down to the individual Shadowcat member to decide which project they wish to contribute to out of the options the Shadowcat Elite and Shadowcat Master's provide.
Shadowmail with information on this topic that also explains the best ways to gather resources to contribute would be far more useful for the fleet, than simply preventing fleet members from contributing to special projects.
I'm mixed on the issue. On the one hand, I'd hate for some people to get behind the curve when it comes to FC because they happened to not be online whenever a major project started (I think Tier III has a 7-day cooldown). So I can understand the desire to use that 5th project when the rest are unavailable.
On the other hand, I get where you are coming from.
We may not be a large fleet, but I've yet to contribute to a Tier upgrade. They were always filled before I got on.

That would still leave 7k fleet marks for everyone to donate. 3k is barely a dent in these big requirements.

Holy TRIBBLE! That was fast!
Oh, and I'm giving away a Tholian Recluse Carrier!!
