    You can try marketing fleet marks.

    Well, first off, I need to point out that you can only get fleet ships from your fleet. :D

    Some fleets sell access to provisioning to non-fleeties for a hefty sum.

    via fleet contributing. I have nearly 3 million FC's on just one toon for example, It comes from contributing to fleet projects (fleet marks, common doffs, replicator items, dil, etc.)

    While these fleets give access too their tier stores via visiting invites , the provisions come from your fleet ,
    if your fleet has a excess of provisions but dont have the tiers unlocked then its a great way to acquire ships and gear ,
    On the other hand if your fleet say locks the stores to build up provisions , this is a way around such a lock but reduces the provisions in the fleet your in , not the one your visiting . which undermines your fleet if thats the case , there is good and bad with this.
    this is one of the flaws to the fleet system .

    Aquiring fleet credits is simple for those who chose not to be in a fleet:

    1. Temp join a fleet and donate fleet marks or other items to their projects to the the fleet credits, then leave.

    2. Sell your fleet marks through ESD Zone, trade channels, etc, they invite you to the fleet you dump the marks, the fleet pays you for the marks you leave.

    3. Create a dummy fleet for the sole purpose of creating fleet credits. (This one is not recommened for casual players, large upfront start-up costs.)

    Aquiring fleet ships, consoles access guilt free.

    1. Join the PA:PSTS channel, there are fleets in there that give free invites and provisions, no questions asked, no offers to stay in the fleet ever.

    2. Join NoP_publicservice. Fleets in there offer invites for free access, but you will have to pay for provisions (at a reduced cost most times).

    3. Purchase provisions and access in ESD zone or any public channel. (This is not the recommended route)

    Hope this helps.

    Without contribution to have FC, yes, the invite is useless. But with 1FM=50FC, it is frankly not that hard to get FC if you look for a fleet to drop them in to. Alsp with ships (unlikeother elements of fleet stores) you can only buy ships unlocked by your fleet membership. As such, you would need to join the fleet you're buying from to get teh ships (which is differenyt from weapons and other fleet things, where unlock is by the fleet where the store is at, but you use provision for from your own fleet.

    ok wait a minute, 200,000? fleet ships cost 20,000 and if your talking about the ones that are not fleet ships but can only be gotten from the fleet yards they are mostly junk and you are better getting the fleet version anyway. with exceptions going to the bortas and odyssey, but then you could get the zen store versions of those. though it is understandable if one does not wish to spend real money. but really the 200k FC ships are not really worth it. best to just get the actual fleet ships.

    edit: i stand corrected on this ^ still don't think saving 200k is any easier then 20k and the modules though.

    Now to real matter.s there are several channels offering invites to fleets to allow people to get fleet ships. you only need to provide your own modules and fleet credits. NOP Public Service does this sometimes but the right person needs to be one. PA: PSTS is another channel i have done this with in the past.

    Where'd you hear this? I got my Fleet Ar'kif from a guy in NoP Public Service and I didn't have to pay the fleet anything. Obviously I needed my credits/module for the actual ship but that was it.

    If someone charged you, you should probably report it to the channel mods.

    I was asked to put some doffs into a projects to get it started as price for a provision, hence the reduced cost part.

    If you remember who did it, then you should probably report them to the guys running the channel.

    That's not actually allowed in there.

    Yes those stores you need fleet credits and dil and also modules. In order to have fleet credits you need to be on a fleet and helping with projects. So if you want a fleet ship join one long enough to be able to buy one. Otherwise there is the z store and rep weapons and gear. ;)

    Invite to the fleet map yes, invite to the fleet either temporarily or permanently would not be useless as you could contribute enough to projects to get the credits you need for the purchase.

    Check my sig and it's link if you really want that ship the League might be what you are looking for.

    I really wish Cryptic would revise the Fleet system. Some fleets don't want to beg for access to the good stuff, but because of the grind involved, they will never see their own stores unlocked.

    Basically there are only two types of legitimate non-vanity fleets left in STO.

    1) Finished fleets

    2) fleets that exist for the members to generate FC and shop provisions.

    Anything that isn't a vanity/storage fleet and doesn't fit into category 1 or 2 is illegitimate.

    Wrong. My fleet has been around for only a month, and while it does exist in part for provisions, our tiers are actively leveled by people with no use for fleet credit.

    The fleet was created not for resources but for a fun community that enjoys playing the game together and a place we can help out other players (especially noobs)

    Categorizing fleets like this does no good.

    No begging is involved, just asking.

    And making it easy for you people is a crime against the people who did it the hard way.

    Peope you owe gratitude to for sharing the fruits of their labor, by the way.

    True, no begging is involved, but if these people are like me, helping out another player is an reward in and of itself. And to make it easy for others simply gives them more time to enjoy the game and less spent grinding fleet tiers.

    False.

    There's nothing illegitimate about building a fleet, even at this stage of the game.

    A small fleet is still a fleet.

    I don't mean that NoP PS providers demand or require gratitude, rather that the people who benefit from NoP PS owe them gratitude, as a matter of the personal self-respect of the recipients.

    When I do invites I honestly don't care whether people say thanks or not. Service is its own reward.

    Which is all fair enough.

    I, too, honour and respect those who like NoP offer these services.

    For many it's an important boost and NoP deserve nothing but thanks for it.



    None of which justifies suggesting that unless a fleet is fully kitted out, or set up purely to take advantage of a kitted out fleet, it is illegitimate.

    I agree with this, the wonderful people in NoP Public Service deserve the thanks. And I also agree with your point about the fleets.
    So a vanity fleet?


    Convenient how the part of my post where I mentioned the fleet being actively leveled is cut out of this.

    I plus +1 this answer... I Fleet is not here for the soul purpose of giving you the best of the gear in the game, no. My Fleet is here to be part of an online gaming community in which we have fun, we challenge each other, and in the end, just to purely have a good time...

    My Fleet will be in service now for 2 long years, and it's primary spirit is still alive on having fun and having a good time in game...

    What is your fleet's name, maybe we could run some PvP or PvE together?
