Broken Since Season 6 - Increase Buff Provision Numbers with Tier

phyrexianhero

Every provision project increases the amount you get per tier, but not the military, engineering, or science buffs. It's always 5. This makes no sense when Tier 5 projects costs substantially more than Tier 1 projects.

Devs -- this is a very simple fix because you just increase provision number on Tiers 2 through 5!

At the very least, model it off of what you do for fleet ship provisions:
Tier 1 - 5 provisions
Tier 2 - 7 provisions
Tier 3 - 9 provisions
Tier 4 - 12 provisions
Tier 5 - 15 provisions

I guess that's true, but in practice, we've got hundreds more of those provisions than anyone will ever use, so what's the point?

phyrexianhero

These provisions are not dilithium-gated (only fleet credit), and there's definitely been examples where someone can come and clean out hundreds at once. Add on to the fact that we're paying substantially more at Tier 5 to get same quantity as Tier 1, and that this issue has been overlooked for almost two years.

Given that a few of the Tier 5 projects still have fortuitous mistakes in their reward tables, I'd rather Cryptic not take a look at any of them.

Oh, did I say that out loud?

phyrexianhero

Are you suggesting Cryptic would actually do a comprehensive review of fleet projects when it comes to fixing a very focused issue? I suppose there's a first time for everything.

Devs fix it please.

15000 dilithium per buff, 200 fleet marks per buff... etc

kinda ridiculous, devs.

i concur with this thread

shhhhhhhhhhh

I would agree with this too particularly when it also seems that these are getting used far more often than they used to.

phyrexianhero

These aren't even permanent fixtures -- they last 4 hours each. Why can a T5 fleet make 30 fleet weapon provisions in a day, but no more than 5 buffs from a project? And if you have 500 members who want just *one* it'd take you over three months to do that.

voidvector

I also think it should increase with tier like every other provision project

phyrexianhero

With the frequent patches, it'd be really appreciated if this could make it to Holodeck, especially as there are no new holdings with Season 9.

This is yet another item on the long list of things that the devs like to pretend isn't an issue and won't reply to. Its really quite pathetic.

phyrexianhero

I've asked the community manager @PWECaptainSmirk on Twitter to bring it to the attention of the devs and he said on April 14: I am not sure why they set things up that way, but I can ask and see what response I get

I know that this is not considered a high priority for Cryptic, but hopefully we'll get an update soon.

That would be nice, we've stopped slotting those projects a long time ago. No reason to throw our dilithium out of the airlock with the current buff prices..

phyrexianhero

Another month, and still no updates from Cryptic on this issue.

you would think this is the ideal time to fix this, considering the upcoming addition of the 2000 mark project.

john98837

They are to busy working on alienware keyboard colors, which is clearly far more important.

Agreed. They've taken the time to make a new project, why can't they give us at least a response about the buffs still being 5 provisions at Tier 5?

john98837

Well they fixed the colony invasion diplomat bug from season 6, only took 2 years, how about fixing this 2 year old bug while your at it.

There's hope! I imagine this would be an easier fix too.

phyrexianhero

Disappointed this still has not been addressed so far with Season 9.5

tbh i find we dont have to run this project too often, so it may be the price i am willing to pay for a couple of other bugs that i am quite happy with

the super annoying project bug is probably the 1000xp shipyard project that has reverted to the old security/tactical buckets. but even then... maybe we are better off if cryptic just dont even look at the t5 projects again.
