ST.20.20120617b.6
Features:
- The Fleet System
- The fleet system allows players in a fleet to create and progress a starbase system as a group.
- When fleet members enter the system for the first time they will see versions of all of the facilities and starbase that are all partially built. As the fleet progresses the facilities and starbase can be upgraded by the fleet in order to earn a cosmetic upgrade and several functional upgrades per tier. The facilities are as follows:
- Shipyard
- Communications Array
- Transwarp Gate
- Industrial Fabricator
- Starbase
- Starbase interiors are available from the start
- When fleet members enter the system for the first time they will see versions of all of the facilities and starbase that are all partially built. As the fleet progresses the facilities and starbase can be upgraded by the fleet in order to earn a cosmetic upgrade and several functional upgrades per tier. The facilities are as follows:
- Fleet UI
- The fleet ui has been modified from its original version to have a holdings page.
- This page allows players to see the current tier level of their starbase and facilities, as well as the projects that are currently running.
- Clicking on a specific tier indicator will show an image of what that upgrade will look like, along with a list of rewards the fleet will earn for earning the upgrade.
- There is a leaderboard per active project that shows the contribution of everyone that has contributed to a specific project.
- The fleet ui has been modified from its original version to have a holdings page.
- Fleet Projects
- A fleet will work together on Fleet Projects in order to progress in this system. Fleet Projects can be thought of as group duty officer assignments that require a fleet of people to provide all of the components in order to be started. These projects are selected and slotted by fleet leadership and can then be contributed to by anyone that is in the fleet. All projects have a set "construction" time that must be completed before the rewards are given and the next project can begin.
- Projects exist in several categories:
- Standard
- Standard Projects come in Military, Science and Engineering flavors. These projects award Fleet XP specific to their category and can also provide a small number of buff provisions. Fleets may have any 3 standard or provisioning project running simultaneously.
- Provisioning Projects provide some amount of Fleet XP specific to their category, and also provide a standard number of provisions to a specified Fleet store. (more on provisioning later) Fleets may have any 3 standard or provisioning project running simultaneously.
- Upgrade Projects
- These projects allow players to upgrade facilities and personnel in their starbase. Fleets can upgrade their facility tier, starbase tier, and add upgrades to their interior such as special doff contacts or NPC's with special functionality. These tend to be the most expensive type of project. Fleets may have one upgrade project running at a time.
- Special Projects
- Special projects allow fleets to unlock unique cosmetic upgrades for their starbase interior or allow them to run a project that grants fleet xp to every non starbase category. Players can have one special project running at a time.
- Standard
- Contribution
- Players can contribute to projects with a variety of items:
- Commodities
- Dilithium
- Duty Officers
- Bridge Officer Skill Points
- Consumables
- Crafting Materials
- Crafted items
- Fleet Marks (Info Further Down)
- And more!
- Each of the aforementioned items has a value attached to them in Fleet Credits. As you make donations to a project you will earn fleet credits commensurate with your contribution. Fleet credits can be used to buy brand new ultra-rare items, fleet ships, buffs, and operational assets from the fleet store.
- As you contribute, you as an individual earn fleet credits to spend in your fleet store.
- Fleet Credits belong to the player that earns them and they are retained regardless of fleet status or fleet affiliation.
- Players can contribute to projects with a variety of items:
- Provisioning
- There a variety of stores on your starbase that will be unlocked as you progress through the system. Fleet Credits will be the currency used to purchase these items.
- Some of these stores contain Advanced Fleet Items and Elite Fleet Items, both of which are the new Ultra Rare variety. These items cover every space and ground item type in the game and are unattainable anywhere else.
- A ship store can be unlocked that contains fleet ships. The store will be unlocked as you progress, and more ship types will be unlocked as you upgrade your shipyard.
- Once the store is unlocked it must be provisioned. Fleets can run specific provisioning projects that will place a fixed amount of inventory in the store and then the project must be run again to reprovision it.
- For example: A provisioning project is completed that grants 15 space weapons to the space weapon store. That means that 15 total weapons can be purchased, regardless of energy type, or weapon type. Once they're gone the space weapon store must be reprovisioned.
- There a variety of stores on your starbase that will be unlocked as you progress through the system. Fleet Credits will be the currency used to purchase these items.

Anyway to get rid of this guide on characters now? On holodeck? I, and a fleetmate, have this on two of our characters.
thanks.
Please enable us to buy a token with Zen to faction change a 25th Century FED to a TOS FED.

Vegeta: Presumably, but there'll be people making fleets left, right and centre to test this out. And there's the Cryptic Official Tribble test fleet too.
PvP in this game is not popular. It's about time it was hidden away and replaced by the activity the community ACTUALLY cares about - PvE queues.
It wouldn't be a public queue... it'd be people screaming in public zones or chat channels, with good Samaritans coming to their aid. Thoughts?
Thanks

wondering this myself

I'm already patching.
Brandon mentioned in chat of dabo and dance soical event that there should be reward and that we should hear what they are soon.
Yay to having access to the account bank, but can't we have the full bank, too?
My thoughts exactly. :mad:
I was just thinking that my Foundry mission might become possible with the change to object dialogs. Changing things back guaranties my mission will not work (due to trigger restrictions). I suppose in all fairness, I wouldn't be spending enough time here to finish it anyways. :frown:
