Starting a new fleet - most efficient upgrade/project path?

So I'm starting a fleet from scratch for my personal enjoyment, a VERY long term goal, so Im not worried about time-scale. However I remember seeing a post somewhere, but I cant find it now, that details what order to complete tiers etc.
My plan is two fold:
Step One: Be able to generate provisions enabling me to purchase items when visiting other fleet bases.
Step Two: Keep doing Step One while slowly working on increasing tiers, over a couple of years.
I have several toons I can grind currency with and will probably purchase Zen/Dil for the larger upgrades.
So is there a best path to what I want to achieve? My first thought was get everything to T1 and then work from there.
Thanks in Advance.

STO Resources: <Ship Comparison - All Tiers + Small Craft + Hangar Pets> <Damage Resistance>
<R&D + Upgrade Costs> <Duty Officer Finder> <Suliban Doff Reqs> <Fleet Costs> <Rep Costs>

I know you said that you're not worried about the long term time frame, but seriously, at this rate, STO might not be around by the time you'll be able to finish. It might be better to take all the money you'd spend on leveling a base and just outright buy a T2 base.
Great starting point.
The key to your fleets success is to have a structured approach to projects. We went the route of 1-2 projects per day, or live at one time. As a small fleet we encouraged players to take a balanced approach with donations - equal amounts of everything. If you wanted to dump fleet marks (this of course before the fleet mark dump projects came available), you had to match the same percentage in the other fields.
As an aside, this method created a community. We worked together.
We've been finished for over six months.
My only negative comment - given the astronomical costs involved, the massive new dilithium sinks courtesy of R&D, and the number of stagnant and unfinished fleets - why start a new one?
Wholeheartedly agree. I got my Starbase to T1 before the Dilithium Mine came out with the project discounts. I'm now concentrating exclusively on maxing the Dilithium Mine (now at T1) before continuing building up any other holdings. Good luck!

I'm a Romulan Tactical Officer, Federation-aligned, looking for an active fleet that has its own TS3/Vent/Mumble/etc. I actually like to chat with guildies/fleeties/etc while playing online.
I enjoy the game, but I feel like I'm playing everything solo... which isn't as fun as it could be.
My character is Boaz@boaz13.
Getting T1 then maxing the dilthium mine is the best way to go. There are several non-dilthium projects in the T0 level, hardest to get will be the doffs and shield batteries for the science. Had no issues with the other commodities.
One a side note it might be a good idea to get the personel officer also unlocked. This will allow you to use excess fleet credit (and if your building this thing yourself your going to have a lot) to get the doffs you need easier.
Otherwise I don't think it'll take years, even all alone (as I am for the moment:()
