We need more fleet marks

Every night, I go farm fleet marks. I farm for about 2 hours and can get a whole 150 out of it. After 2 hours ,that should be double. The devs need to increase the fleet mark prize so that we can actually BUILD our fleets when we don't have huge numbers of people adding to them.

Do doffing. Once you reach tier 4, every 10K doff XP = 100 marks. That's about 25 of the better XP missions like EVA suit training even without any critical successes. Plus many of those missions pay 50 dil normally, 1K?? on critical
so basically defera which kinda needs 3 people so a bit tricky if solo and its dead or doffing

that word didnt need edited >.<
Exactly this. Once you get your T4 doffing, you keep on going. After a while, those exchanges to turn in excess 10k doff xps add up.
I don't spam the queues anymore. I don't fixate on a specific queued instance to get Fleet Marks. I haven't chosen a Fleet Marks reward box in... I don't know... Years?
Turning in Fleet Marks in Fleet Projects? Lucky to do so, I'll concur. Because the FM portion of a project is the first one to get filled, guaranteed. First come, first served, you snooze, you lose.
Dil turn ins on the Fleet Projects works, but Dil is precious. But if you have extra, those parts of the Fleet Projects tend to be open somewhat.
The best, generally available means on earning Fleet Credits? Turning in DOFFs on the Fleet Projects. The DOFF section is commonly the last one to get filled. That's because it's a hassle to get the extra Common DOFFs for turn ins and the UI is a big PITA. But it's a reliable means on getting Fleet Credits. It's just time consuming fighting such an awful UI.
As far as getting the Common DOFFs? Academy NPCs, the Personnel Officer has several DOFF missions to get up to 2 Common/Uncommon DOFFs. The first and last ones however cost 1k Dil but everything in between are free. Do not forget the extra NPCs for an additional race focus for Common DOFFs:
- KDF: Gorn, Orion, Nausicaan
- Fed: Vulcan, Tellarite, Andorian
My fleet is practically done with everything.
Except the starbase, still need far too much precious dil and doffs to finish it up.
The fact that the DR thing gave old characters fleet marks as well doesn't help, that's for sure.
Where do you turn in the extra XP?
I have been T4 forever, and have a bunch of built up extra XP. I heard you can turn them in for Marks, but never was able to find out where/how to do this.
Thanks.
I figure I'd leave the queues for the people who need to earn credits. Wish some of the others in the fleet thought so. One guy just must really like being #1 cause his one toon has more contributed than all 5 of my toons combined! :rolleyes: I think he must either set the projects (so he's there when they start) or must set alarm clocks to wake him when one completes and another pops up.
its 75 marks, 100 on crit
But yea, check your department heads. Theres a bunch there which have 50 dil base rewards, 250 dil on crit. And since in fleet, head to the mine and do the two doff mission there. Lots of various xp you can turn into fleet marks on the starbase, console in the room you buy doffs in.
Fleet marks should be the only thing you require for a starbase project.
Excellent.. just what I needed.
Thank you very much. :cool:
This way is better for large fleets since it's harder for one person to grab all the credits.
Right now I can earn fleet credits from EC (buying commodities) and from common doffs even after all the marks are nabbed. If it was just marks then almost never. For the KDF fleet I'm in the marks often get filled within a few seconds of the project becoming available.
Not a good balance, but there are many ppl offering their FM for free (they get fleet credits out of thin air). Just ask in the right channels.
I am in a fleet that has multiple smaller fleets attached to it though and jump from one fleet to another to fill up their projects then once done i return back to my home fleet.
How do I make so many marks so quickly? Deffera, disconnected, fleet alert, azure nebula, the STFs, I just spam those.
You should easily be able to make 500 or more fleet marks a day, minimal effort and minimal time.
If the people who run your fleet cannot find a way to make it so that you can contribute, then it is time for you to find a new fleet where they have people that are willing to accommodate you. If your fleet will not make accommodations for you, why are you even there? Friends make accommodations for their friends, if the people you are rolling with are not making accommodations for you then clearly they are not your friends.
What say you get in 2 hours is barely 2 runs of CE! In 2 hours I can easily get 600+ from STF's by running different ones concurrently.
^- This.. if you do doff missions and max out the XP for reports at the starbase you'll be swimming in fleet marks like I am. One toon I had made about 3000 FMs just from all the excess doff XP I had for reports.
Only one setting fleet projects in your fleet is me.
I work for a living. I run CE 3 times a night (3 different characters, including one fed) but most of the time the KDF queues are empty. Every once in a blue moon the fleet defense will actually fill but I've sat there for 15 minutes before waiting for it to open. As it is, most of the week my time is limited.
All of my characters continuously run doff assignments. I've gotten several up to teir 4 on most of the doff categories, but some are lacking like recruitment and trade.
I'm completing T3 on the Dilithium mine at the moment - the base itself is T2, everything else is Tier 1.
I had no plans to grow beyond that since I now have everything I need to provision and buy from maxed out starbases via the NoP channel. I say that to head off the usual trolling about "people wanting a free ride on their personal base" nonsense I've heard in the past.
Back to the OP, yeah I could really have used more FM sources as recently as a year ago.
1. Join NoP public service channel, every day their are people in that channel giving away free fleet marks.
2. Doff mission CXP. After a specialization reaches rank 4, everything over 100k, (in 10k sets) can be converted over to Fleet Marks. I personally make 3,000 to 6,000 Fleet marks this way every week.
I played for like 2 years until i finally joined a fleet and it was so i could get some fleet gear. And just like you i was shocked...actually i was "shocked" to see expertise and fleet marks fill up so fast. Seems like there is a conflict of interest (is that the right term to use?) for people who are starting the projects and then going in and immediately filling in the currencies that are easy for them to fill in. I actually did like you mentioned draco and i set *my* alarm clocks to remind me of when projects would finish. That way the instant it finished, i would see if a new one came up and i would beat other people to filling fleet marks, expertise and crafting mats on the projects.
Anyways because of the way the overall system is setup i only geared up 2 of my toons with fleet consoles. Actually one is finished, the other one is only partially finished. I would say "hey devs we need a better fleet mark system" but i'm sure people have been saying that for a long time now.
Yes, they do have to temp join, a lot of people are willing to temp join, a lot of high level fleets understand.
