I've accidentially spawned 500 Spire provisions instead of the Mine provisions. If you ask how could that be, I only say I use a sporting A4Tech mouse with programmable keys, and for the doubleclick combo it was like a 3-seconds job before I noticed there was wrong line selected in the replicator.
As for 'pretty easy' I must contradict. There are small fleets who can't manage filling the provisions part. Submitting provisions doesn't give you anything in exchange so fleet members usually hesitate doing so.
As for the 'bound' thing. Men, bound submittable things are being sold here and there all over STO. Fleet marks, dilithium, everything - you just need to transfer your character to the fleet that pays you EC for submitting your resources into the project.
Actually it's easier for small fleets to afford the provisions since they cost fleet credis. In a small fleet all the fleet credits generated are concentrated among fewer characters, resulting in a few characters with millions and millions of fleet credits and nothing to spend it on. You need to target this offer to the large fleets where all the projects fill up might away and people are having trouble earning fleet credits. As a player in a fleet with only three contributing members, I think I have more fleet credits than energy credits on most characters.
I'm currently in a fleet with 5 contributing members. We have opposite situation, cause everybody needs their fleet equipement just now while the starbase has approximately 2 tiers more to build. That is why we are low on fleet credits, cause all of them are being spent on shop provisioning, buying things and at last on developement. That is why filling up to 2-something thousand dil mine provisions is difficult.
I can imagine there's a fleet with the same problems on the Spire facility. I don't care if the fleet large or small, actually EC is the easiest resource to obtain and 15 million creds to save the fleet ones needed to significantly upgrade a ship, that worths it.
UPD: offer closed, sold the lot at 12,5 mil ECs. The thread, I believe, should stay somewhere for the record.
