We Need Fleet Cargo Holds and Officer Pools

Greetings All,
Do any of you guys ever have the problem of having a ton of common duty officers and other materials that can be used in various fleet projects but those projects are not currently available or what you have is just not needed at the moment?
What I would like to suggest is to have Cryptic add to the current fleet system is an officer pool holdings that fleet members would be able to contribute all of their common doffs to at any given time for fleet credits and for similar holdings to be created for any and all materials that can be used in fleet projects and even dilithium.
With the above suggestions in mind when a new fleet project is chosen the system could automatically pull the required resources from the proper holdings or the project chooser could pull the resources manually somehow.
I know that what I'm asking for does not do much to help smaller fleets buts perhaps these new resource holdings could be linked to some kind of fleet alliance system where the fleet with the holdings could set a percentage of their stored resources that can be used by each allied fleet on a fleet by fleet basis.
Example:
Fleet A is a very large fleet with an abundance of stored resources that is allied with fleets B and C that they wish to share those resources with.
Fleet B is a mid sized fleet that not really doing to bad on its fleet projects but fleet C is in dire need of help with it's projects.
Fleet A stets it's resource sharing so that 50% of their stored resources is held only for their fleets usage and 35% be made available to fleet C and the remaining 15% is open to fleet B.
I started off on one thought here and kind of ended up with something very different but I think you guys understand what I'm getting at.
Thanks for your time!

Using them as holding places for Boffs and Doffs would seem reasonable as well.
In fact the Space Bridge Stations and Powers Tray should be a function of the ship, not the character. In this manner a player could have fully equipped ships at the ready and change ships, without a lot of tedious tweeking of BO Stations and Tray Powers.
That's pretty easy to get from the support colonial missions.
What's frustrating is when I get purples, grind them down, and end up with 30 Science or medical officers- that I can't use- when I need tactical and security.
I would love for there to be a fleet doff bank. Since there isn't I use a couple of alts that I started for no other reason than the doff system.
This is why most people got tired of waiting and just went ahead and created Alt Accounts just to use as DOFF Storage. Which is funny since Alt Accounts take up significantly more dataspace than mail storage. :rolleyes:
Amen, but a devil is coming called Arc to TRIBBLE us all.

How does Arc prevent alt accounts?
It doesn't. But prevents using 2 or more clients at the same time

I don't multibox, and I would assume a great number of STO'ers don't either, so that limitation does not affect me in the slightest.
How else does Arc TRIBBLE us all though? Genuinely curious as I have only seen people snarl about it.

Not to hijack, because I support the OP's idea, but THIS THIS THIS. Perfect suggestion, needed, simple, would make a huge difference, and is even monetizable.
::WARNING:: This game is not intended for use as a source of self-esteem.
It's just another platform that wastes disk-space, bandwidth and memory for the sake of trying to advertise other PWE games. I can't see any reason for anyone to like it. It's basically a pop-up add that you can't opt out of.
Technically it doesn't stop multiboxing. It might stop multiclienting, although I hear mixed opinions on that.
PRoblem holding common duty officers? No, I have like 164 duty oficers on my rommie (bought extra DO slots), and usually just buy common ones from the exchange for fleep projects, none of my 164 I have now are common.
^ makes so much sense that it is physically painful. ;D I like switching between my Mogai and D'ridthau depending on who I'm grouping with that day, what I'm doing, etc. but having to play with stations and my tray for like twenty minutes seriously hamstrings that playstyle. To put it in terms that make sense to a business, I'd buy more ships and ship slots if I knew that I could have them good to go when I wanted to switch my style.
While you're thinking about things like that, it should cause you more pain to try to think about a Federation/Empire at war that leaves 90% of its ships in drydock.
Seating arrangements by ship would be lovely. I don't know about others but I have 1 ship and set of Boffs kitted out just for the NWS, 1 ship for STFs and 1 ship for just having fun. Swapping things around isn't exactly difficult but it is an annoyance I could do without.
We're at war? I thought we were playing tag.:P
But now that you point that out that is very disturbing. Yes there is the theory of strategic reserves but that is usually a smaller fraction of total fighting strength for emergency use. If we assume only free ships for all then 4/5 ships are left in dry dock at any given moment. More so if you throw in all the lock box ships, other free ships like the Oddy or Ambassador people can get, or all those cheap mirror ships. 90% might be under cutting it actually.
That is truly a very good point, but total war wouldn't lend itself very well to microtransactions so I'm not really surprised by the evident disparity.
Ah.
....Ew. ಠ_ಠ
I already start STO via Steam, which is where I pre-ordered it. I prefer it in Steam, as it's how I organize my videos and snapshots from the game not to mention how I note to fleetmates and friends that I'm in STO. Hoping this doesn't botch that.
Thanks for the explanation.
