Fix Yourselfs: Embassy Provisions and Fleets

edited December 2012 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I saw that my fleet needed 40 embassy provisions to complete an entire project.
  • I spent 27500 fleet credits for 50 Embassy Provisions.
  • I complete the entire project for my fleet (using 40 provisions)


My Reward:
  • On the leaderboards for the embassy, I am listed at 0 contribution.
  • My fleet credits are now 6634 (they were at 30221 at their peak, according to the Starbase Leaderboard).


This doesn't seem fair that I can spend so many fleet credits and receive zero acknowledgement in my fleet for the contribution. I realize this isn't the bug report forum but I wished to warn others against using an ill-thought system.

My ticket ID #1,435,381.

Otherwise, I'm enjoying Season 7. This seems like a small oversight but obviously wasn't tested--at least by someone with a stake in the Embassy/Starbase System.

    Unfortunately, this isn't a bug. It's meant to cost fleet credits and give nothing back. Basically only for those who have large amounts of FCs to burn from the get-go. The higher your SB or Industrial Fabricator is (one of those), the less they cost to make.

    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    This happened to me a couple weeks ago. I just took it as a lesson learned and went on. We needed the provisions anyway.

    I tested it, and I have a stake in my fleets' Embassies/Starbases systems.
    I have earned about 3,000,000 Fleet Credits (FC) across all my contributing characters.
    The Embassy Provisions costing FC were set that way to be a much needed FC sink.
    For those of us that have set a deep stake in our Starbases.

    It's a fleet credit sink. Just let some fleet credit millionaire from your fleet add them.

    However, it would be nice if the provision contributions were counted for the leaderboard. You are, after all, contributing something, even if there is no reward.

    Understandable - but it should register your contribution equivalent on the leaderboard at least.
