New fleet project: Marks only.

Hello,


There's a huge need for a fleet project for fleet marks only. Everyone always complains that they have too many marks.

There needs to be a fleet project that requires fleet marks only. Preferably in the hundreds of thousands range. (250.000?)

It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.

    sell the marks to other fleets then....there are ALWAYS fleets looking for more fleet marks.

    i think current prices are 5k-6k per mark...would need to check on TheTradingChannel.

    Agreed. They should include the ability of Starbases hosting fleet to fleet pvp. The more fleet marks the better the defence system of the base

    I to would love a project that just required fleet marks since we have one for borg rep that only requires omega marks

    I think he means by quitting his fleet, joining the other one, contributing the marks, getting paid, then going back to his old fleet.

    That's the only way I can see it getting done >_>

    as a fleet leader; thats an administrative nightmare

    it also opens up my fleet to fleet bank abuse since daily limits are reset every time you leave and rejoin a fleet

    a fleetmark only project would be great, preferably in the 4th embassy slot. it need not give any base XP either

    having such a project would be a boon to my fleet as we are at the tipping-point of having too many or too few members to fill projects.

    It's very easy to get too many fleet marks. All of my toons have around 5000 fleet marks and not enough projects to contribute. While I agree that there should be fleet projects which contribute marks only, that's not the only thing that needs to be done.

    1) Special projects needs to be split in two with the limited time visual upgrades being separated from the others (i.e. Confiscate Contraband, Coordinate Colonization efforts).

    2) These projects (Confiscate Contraband, Coordinate Colonization efforts) should have an increased payout of probably 100 XP to each tier. It's still less than the 500 XP that most projects give but give an option for contributing fleet marks to projects that do help with SB development.

    3) If there are going to be missions that primarily require fleet marks, then this is the mission with the least amount of rewards (5-10 XP per tier). Either that or increase the number of fleet marks required for missions in #2.

    May I ask how you get too many FM easily?
    How long did it take to aquire the 5000+FM you are speaking of?

    (I play the game almost each day, grind nws (w9+), turn CXP into FM at the base.)

    Its always a whine-a-thon. Too little, too much, never just enough. Isn't anybody happy you don't have to grind marks all day to fill up the fleet projects?

    No, there shouldn't be a project that takes only FMs. People would waste all their marks on that and then start the whining about not having enough for real projects. Perhaps there could be special projects for all holdings, not just the starbase, but they should continue to work the way they do now.

    And the special projects should absolutely NOT give more starbase XP. Last thing we need is even more whining about the system favoring large fleets. The special slot can already produce 600 XP (200 per department) in the 20 hours it takes to run a normal project. That's enough.

    Agreed. I would replace all the dilithium sinks with fleet mark sinks.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    My fleet has a major need for this, as well. I've got thousands of marks, and so do many of our members. Short of abusing the Special Projects slot until it walks funny, I doubt I'll ever get rid of them all.

    Duty Officer missions. There are some missions that give you 1000 CXP per mission. That and the fact that all four of my characters have maxed out each CXP tier so I've got plenty of CXP to convert to FM. This is on all four of my characters so I literally have 20000 FM sitting there.....

    Really your best option is to either sell or donate them to a different fleet that may have need for them. That way everyone wins.

    I know alot of ppl in my & other fleets would welcome more diverse projects this way...

    Projects that just eat up fleetmarks & experience points & credits

    Projects that either convert fleetmarks to dili (fleet holding locked dili or somesuch) that could be used by the projects managers to use in upgrade/provisioning projects ....

    Unfortunately that tap has just been turned way down. Yes there are still large CXP DOFF missions, but you can't do lots of them anymore. Before 6/27 you used to be able to do 2-4 copies of any Department Head DOFF mission. Now it's only 1.

    thought of this, the game would lose money because people would have massively
    more dilithium incomes, There is a solution though people are not going to like it

    reduce the all dilithium production a day (from 8000 to 4000 cap)
    then reduce starbase and item costs of dilithium, then you;d have a stable economy
    for it

    other wise people will get lots of zen, and game gets no money.

    I was still able to accomplish 5000 fleet marks on each of 4 accounts even without the large CXP assignments. In fact, I don't go for them anymore. My concentration is on missions that provide at least 50 Dilithium, for which there are quite a few.

    With the changes in the DOff requirements for fleets, I think this has minimized the need for Fleet Mark Projects. What ended up happening was that we concentrated on the projects that did not require Dilithium (Construction Projects, Tactical Exercises, and Theoretical Modelling, and started feeding extra Rare and Uncommon Duty Officers to the DOff officer on Earth/Q'onos. We had a lot of these officers in various ranks, and were able to grab a lot of the required duty officers for the required projects. What has ended up happening is that the KDF fleet I belong to is very close to finishing its Science Tier I so we could start on the Comm Relay before starting up on Starbase Level II. On the Fed side, we're finishing up on the Engineering and Science Tier II so we can start on Tactical Tier III very soon. Because these projects do not require dilithium, I'm blowing through my stash of fleet marks and will actually need to grind for them for once instead of solely relying on DOff assignments!! :D
