This doesn't seem to directly target small fleets so it is obvious that this is not the change that will help small fleets and the devs must be talking about some other major change that does not deal with a new Fleet Holding. What that major change might be or when it might occur, I have absolutely no idea. However, if I had to guess, then it would be the addition of projects with reduced costs, but longer durations. For example, adding upgrade projects that could cost half the resources, but take twice as long. Could see even bigger fleets going for that for the Tier 4 and Tier 5 upgrades. Of course, getting to Tier 1 Dilithium Mine will help with small fleets some since lots of small fleets have at least a Tier 2 Starbase and Tier 1 Embassy. There is also the change that doff requirements don't need Medical or Security Doffs which seems to be the better change for fleets.

You are forgetting the most likely possibility. That this is what was supposed to help small fleets, and Cryptic has completely and utterly screwed up.
I mean, if there were something else in the wings, you'd think that they'd have said something by now.
"Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev

Wouldn't be the first time Cryptic pushed a really bad change to live. The STF dilithium reward changes are the most recent that I can think of.
Can only hope they still have Olympic gymnast black flip skills and can turn this into a positive change.
