Just an FYI. Last night I went into the "Public Service" channel and just asked if anyone could offer me access to a Tier 5 starbase to buy some Elite fleet weps and gear and Romulan XII consoles, and with in a few seconds I got an invite. No EC asked for. I used my own fleets provisions to get the items I needed. I was happy to see Fleets out there that don't have any issues with letting others use thier store's. So if you are looking for access to these Elite items that Channel is the way to go.

Did you read the rules to that channel? To use the channel you cannot charge for access. And rightly so for things like weapons and consoles since you use your own provisions. Now buying a ship I doubt anyone would invite you to fleet then give a high enough rank to buy a ship without compensation for the provisions and they would be right to not do that.

The group friends of fleets have access to ship yards thanks to members of Will fleets that care more about player then ec so there are fleets that will let you get free ship my being one of them so you can add the chat channel friends of fleets and we be willing to help any player s so if you have the fleet modular and provision id give you access

I use Nop public service. every now and then they have a fleet open up a T5 shipyard. I was able to get a Fleet Assault Cruiser. All I needed was a fleet module. No cost what so ever. I offered to donate and was told it was not needed.

So there are fleets out there that WILL give you the T5 Shipyard access. It just takes some time to find one.
