Since the changes have been made to fleet doffs and its "working as intended" i just wanted to leave short sharp feedback for cryptic. So four simple questions for you all

Do you agree with the fleet doff changes ?

Has the changes to fleet doffs affected your starbase projects ?

Have your starbases projects slowed or ground to a halt ?

Will you as a fleet continue with starbases ?


Answers here are :

Do you agree with the fleet doff changes ?

No

Has the changes to fleet doffs affected your starbase projects ?

Yes

Have your starbases projects slowed or ground to a halt ?

Ground to a halt

Will you as a fleet continue with starbases ?

Id like to continue but the changes to the doffs are a blow below the belt and for the immediate future we have stopped all starbase progress. Really sad and mean on cryptics part to force and unwarranted change.

    Well, this sort of thing is the exact sort of thing that I?ve come to expect from PW/Cryptic. It is in line with the Lock Boxes and also in line with the system messages about who got what. Cryptic does this sort of thing on purpose for their own gain and reasons. :mad:

    to be honest. i never got that fleet doffs could be used in fleet projects...

    PC:"hey. can i have that guy over there?"
    NPC: "sure. here you go."
    *ten seconds later* PC: "hey, have this guy back and give me some of my money back"

    Do you agree with the fleet doff changes ? NO, i can't dismiss the ones i don't want for dilithium, which goes against the Grind for it/Just buy it ethos that Cryptic/PWE promtes.
    I worked for the Fleet Credits, I should be rewarded with the Dil for the doffs I don't want.

    Has the changes to fleet doffs affected your starbase projects ? YES, there are now Doffs on the Exchange that people couldn't use from the Base Dofficers, so they are trying to sell them to other people who ALSO won't be able to use them for projects. Doffs on the Exchange are now questionable do to the fact that there no way to tell them apart.

    Have your starbases projects slowed or ground to a halt ? In some ways yes. See answer to question above.

    Will you as a fleet continue with starbases ? Yes, it will just take even longer to get done.

    I'm calling this OPs bluff and say he's going to keep his fleet progress going. It might slow him down and take his enthusiasm ouf of the system.

    But he's not gonig to stop, its an MMO and that Max T5 level starbase is something that is too tempting to players.

    I don't agree with allowing them to be sold on the Exchange without some way of easily identifying them.

    Have the changes to fleet DOffs affected your starbase projects?

    No.

    Have your starbases projects slowed or ground to a halt?

    No.

    Will you as a fleet continue with starbases?

    Sure.

    Both the fed fleet im in which has 60 people and the kdf fleet im in which has 6 people have both been affected by this change. The kdf fleet has slowed to a dead stop, and the fed fleet is only turning over 1 project a day whereas it use to be 3/4 projects a day. This change to fleet doffs has crashed everything including the exchange :(

    Fleets rely on what resources they can get. If you can purchse doffs through fleet credits youve earnt then whats the issue ? huh ? I dont care about dilithium or dismissal xp i just want to use the doffs ive earnt through fleet credits to contribute to SB projects. Its kinda like a cell provider selling you a phone then saying you cant use your phone to make phone calls :(

    Do you agree with the fleet doff changes ?

    No, not one bit.
    Not so much because of the Fleetbase, but because these DOffs are a highly devalued commodity in the DOff System and that sets a bad precedent for future DOff additions.

    They changed the basic design of a DOff "trading card" by removing the dilithium and CXP you get by dismissing, so what am i supposed to do with white doffs that i don't want to keep now?
    Sell them on the exchange? Nobody wants these... you can't distinguish them on the exchange, i would feel like scamming people if i tried to sell those (and if they were marked, nobody would want to buy them).

    So the only thing to do is grind them up at the academies personnel officer and that costs dilithium and does not have a chance at the new fleet doff powers...
    or i hunt down more Bajoran officer exchanges (i think i have enough aliens of these 4 types now).




    Has the changes to fleet doffs affected your starbase projects ?

    A bit maybe.
    But i'm in a big fleet, we are mid Tier 2 and i still don't get to contribute anything on FED side because everything fills pretty much instantly.

    It's still what i call eBay sniping.



    Have your starbases projects slowed or ground to a halt ?

    Only the Bartender with the impossible to attain Dosi Rotgut has been a roadblock (5 days and counting)



    Will you as a fleet continue with starbases ?

    of course... that train is not going to stop now even if some players will drop out after a while.
