10 Fleet Marks -> 500 Dilithium

So since Rom Marks and Borg Marks can be converted 10 -> 500, why not Fleet Marks as well?

    Because you convert them into Fleet Credits

    you convert romulan marks into credits and omega marks into credits as well. You still have the option of converting them into dilithium. I don't see why one would be different.

    how do you do that for FLEET creds?

    and its a 50 marks -> 500 dilth not 10 lol.

    would be cool though to have that option...my alts are sitting on a couple thousand fleet marks all together

    Reputation system marks don't have the same value as Fleet Marks.

    1 Fleet Mark = 50 Fleet Credit
    50 Dilithium = 50 Fleet Credit
    10 Fleet Marks = 500 Dilithium

    I've put together a spreadsheet to try making sense of the various currencies in the game: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Asc_VtvL64z4dHJEU1hPc2djcFphRFEyQkhmWUVDakE

    To force to into a fleet if you're not already so any dil you get will immediately be shoveled into the starbase pit.

    I don't want this, it's hard enough getting FMs sometimes, and that would only let people convert FMs into dil, and make it take even longer.

    Fleet marks are really easy to come by just doing the 'investigate player missions' repeatable. 10 fleet marks for 500 dil would just be way too silly and you would be swimming in unrefined dil.

    It takes more effort and a project spot to change 50 other marks.

    Instead how about this (since Ya'll seem to have tons of fleet marks)

    150 Fleet marks = Resetting your dil refining once a day.

    300 Fleet marks = Increases your total daily dill refinement 100 permanatly.

    We really do not need more ways to get more unrefined junk. there are way too many things that throw the stuff at you. We need ways to Refine it more.

    Or you can add a new wing to the fleet starbases that let you refine more dill (Up to a point, and per level of the refinery) for a large number of fleet credits.

    Is there a way to buy Fleet Marks with Dilithium?

    Alas no. This might be interesting especially for the HUGE embassy demands.

    An exchange rate like that would mean that a crit on a commendation report would net me 5k Dilithium. People with T4 rep on all commendations would cap out their weekly dilithium refinement automatically. We'd be drowning in Dilithium.

    Also, the Omega/Romulan marks to Dilithium conversion was originally meant as an incentive to keep playing STFs/Romulan missions, for people who capped out their rep systems. Remember that they conversions were originally unlocked at Tier 5.

    That's something IMO they should really consider.

    I don't know why they don't have a fleet marks collectable event like the Romulan epoph, where you can trade xNum for 400 Romulan Marks.

    For smaller fleets, this is a major, major obstacle, together with the rising dilithium requirements on everything.

    Something that is also staring me in the face is the Contraband missions.

    1.) They scaled the requirements for trading contraband, and reduced the number obtained.
    2.) The DOFF assignment recharge seems to be much slower now.
    3.) There has been a huge increase in critical failures to these simple missions. I have started to see significant injured crews? The strange thing is this is happening even when both security are purple with critical success modifiers. Go figure.
