Fleet Starbase provisioning system FAQ

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has more details on fleet provisions, and how it works? I get the basics there are projects we do that allow us access to certain items like ships, buffs etc. that for example give "5 military fleet provisioning".
But what does that mean exactly?
We have a fleet level of 2, and SB with the tier 1 complete, and under the provisions tab says we have 45 "Starbase Military Fleet Ship Provisioning" Does this mean we have the ability to purchase up to 45 ships? Or does that 45 equal less or more? How do we use that system of provisioning? Is it automatic as in if someone buys a ship do we loose an equal provision number I.e. one Starbase Military Fleet Ship Provisioning.
And at what Starbase level/tier do these "provisions" become useable? Or what base assets are necessary to use them.
I guess the entire provisioning system is very unclear to us and we were hoping something was going to be released from the Devs.
Thanks for any helpful info you can add.

To be of some help to you (hopefully),
*My* understanding is that the ship provisioning works the same way.
Please don't title something as a FAQ when it answers no questions.
Our starbase is still at Tier 0, so unfortunately I have no answers either.

2 People bought Fleet ships with Credits and 4 Modules.
Our Military Provisions went down to 13.
So Provisions means your allowed to spend $20 for Ship Modules, And 20k Fleet Credits to buy a Fleet ship. (As long as you have proper Permission from the fleet to so so.)
Figure same goes for Ground weapons and such, Personal Requisition Provisioning. We have 20, And when at the starbase, browsing Armor and Weapons it says 20 Available.
There are 3 types of provisions for each area: Military, Engineering and Science. For each type you have Buffs, Provisions and Operational Assets.
Buffs: Exactly what they sound like. They are consumables you can purchase which grant you a buff in that specific area. An example is +2 to all engineering skills.
Ops Assets: These are consumables that you can purchase for use during fleet events. An example would be a deployable torpedo platform for space, or a security team for ground.
Provisions: These are actual items you can purchase such as ships, armor, weapons and shields, using fleet credits and dilithium. The amount of each provision type you have represents the amount of that specific item type you have in stock. So if you have 45 Military Fleet Ship provisions, your fleet members can purchase a total of 45 ships. Each time a purchase is made, the number will decrease by one.
You can actually get in game info by heading to your Quartermaster, on the base, and checking each type. Hope this helps.
Your rank within the fleet must have the permission "Buy from provisioned Fleet stores". None of the promotions are handled by the game, they're handled by the other players that run your fleet. You'll need to talk to an officer in your fleet about getting promoted to gain access to the fleet stores. If they refuse or have high requirements, you can easily find many other fleets that have low requirements, or freely give access to fleet ships.
If you're on fedside, feel free to shoot me a tell ingame @spencerb96 if you're needing to find another fleet to get your ship from.
Thanks for the answers to my question. Also, I was not aware there was a 30 day limit on thread responses. As a new player on this forum, I could only respond to threads already made and not create new ones. My search came to this thread [old as it may be] but still discussed an issue relevant to my question. It is definitely something new players should be aware of as they are saving to buy a fleet ship.
