    Yeah It's only going to be 50 Fleet marks a day. I'm hoping that it adds up to 100 Fleet marks during the Double Fleet Mark Time. Maybe that'll help increase the Volume in the PVP Ques. But hopefully not more AFKers. :(

    On behalf of all the fleet members I queue with, and also myself -

    THANK YOU CRYPTIC!

    Do I care the PvE'ers have no fleet marks for Foundry? Nope. The idea they see the PVP Community as the Grinch for taking away their tricos, and having things nerfed makes me all squirly inside.

    That or i've been eating glitter again.

    I could joke on that but my leavings are highly regarded as art now.

    We are actively working on solutions to AFK'ing and we are working directly with customer service to establish how we are going to do it.

    You will see some changes in PvP this week. We are still gathering information on STFs, but will be acting on that issue soon as well.

    Again, we are looking to make sensible changes. We realize that we control the game code and so if an exploit exists, we responsible for it. But we are also responsible to resolve issues that are adversly impacting the game.

    Dan the Man: To address AFKing in PvP, we've decided to add Fleet Marks to certain daily wrapper missions.
    RandomGuy: You realize the problem was too much AFKing, right?
    Dan the Man: You mean it wasn't a lack of AFKers?
    RandomGuy: No, people were complaining that there were too many.
    Dan the Man: Too many? But...
    RandomGuy: Yeah...
    Dan the Man: Oh...my bad.

    Um..ya, NOT. The power creep over the last few months has made my once fearsome pride-and-joy a second rate garbage transport.

    WOOOAAAATTT :confused:.... i now can earn marks by doing what i love?!?!?! :eek:
    ...something like this only can happen in a star trek game :cool:

    ...but wait: only for the dailies or on any, also dil-rewarding, pvp missions (as it should be)?... *smells some foulness and grabs a mask*... i'm fine with this at this point. more than we got before... so yes:
    kinda thx to cryptic, it's a sign of progression into the right direction! ;)...

    one question to all of you:
    are you thinking this is enough? as for me i don't think so (besides the afk'ers facts which share the same sheet)... not in amount of marks, i would be fine with less!

    so:
    should all pvp content provide at least a little amount of fleet marks, shouldn't it (f.e. 25)?

    i believe so. i'm glad they finally "begin" to appear in pvp(!), but... u know. i'm a bit scared it will take another loooong time before may additional marks could be added to pvp :(.

    i'm not a pve'er, those can have the fleet actions. plz... even if only for premades :D

    I think I am somewhat sceptical about this, I should be happy but I see a massive increase in AFK'ers in PvP now.

    I think until something is done to fix that this is only going to get worse.

    Now that's awesome. PvP should get Fleet Marks added to it, since it's more of a group activity than the Foundry was. I look forward to this patch going live to Holodeck. :D

    While I am happy to see we finally get Fleet Marks for PvP'ing, I fear the number of afk'ed people will rise even more. There is no easier way to get them. Just hit the queue, wait till the invite pops - go afk. Watch some Youtube, do your shopping or whatever. Repeat three times and there you get your shiny Fleet Marks. The AFK situation right now is already pretty bad. There rarely is a PuG match without either side having at least one of those leechers.

    My fleet runs organized ground pvp, but most of the time its just tossing random 20 people into an instance and watch them kill one another.

    And Ausmonauts love messing with one another lol.

    This is good news for the fleet.

    ...don't wanna get all of you out of the smiling-mood, but why i just can't stop to think:
    reward fleet marks to every single pvp mission after every round! 1to1 in amount as in pve fleet actions. every pvp-mission-round is a fleet action compared to pve fleet actions (f.e. 20 players from 20 fleets)!
    it's a start, but nothing more. say thx as they deserve it(!), but don't give em too much candy for half-done-work yet.

    edit: part of that work to do --> afk'ing...

    i dont think the afkers are going to be much of a problem really. all the other ways you can get fleet marks now give MUCH more, if you were human garbage, it would be more beneficial to afk there then pvp. they are only attacked to pvp dailies and stuff that takes 3 matches before you get anything

    on a more serious note though, at least it happened.

    Since it is once a day I don't think the AFKers will increase much. I would like to see more, but if it had a regular cool down, there would probably be a TON of AFKers. This increase in fleet marks will help me greatly in my campaign to become pope.

    Everyone has the ability to call a ship when you are low on hps.....but that's so from Season 3?

    I can see an increase in afkers, and in premades now, which will be good and bad for certain players. Hopefully there will be more fleet vs fleet action in the queues naturally rather than pre-organised. :]
