We teased this a little at STLV, but now you can learn all the details of your next Fleet Holding, the Lukari and Kentari joint colony on Dranuur.

And from the pictures that map looks AMAZING!
Why, yes I would.
First, the idea that players will be working alongside the colonists to gather resources, with that step eventually becoming more efficient and partly automated, puts me in mind of how trafficking worked back in Scarface: The World is Yours... which is not a bad thing. Mechanically, is this going to be a refined version of what we see on New Romulus?
Seconded on both counts. I do wonder just how big the simulation field will be and whether there will be multiple layouts (something AoS and the existing Colony Invasion queue really need, by the way).
The equipment all sounds interesting; it should be interesting to see how well that 'scales with CrtD' works in practice, even before taking into account the natural synergy with the protomatter deflector arrays... which makes me wonder if these new arrays, shields, and engines will have distinct visuals. And what exactly is associated with the 'Ship Customization' item under the Morale track?
Does this mean that there is a chance you don't get rewards at all, if you fail at the more difficult waves? If so, that could on the one hand make things more challenging, but also more annoying imo.

Since Armadas were created, I've hoped to see some content that give us a good reason to be in a large organisation with so many players. This new Sompek-like event sounds like just the right type of content to be organised on the armada-level, rather than just within fleets.

If it is a all-or-nothing approach that is very cutthroat, & I worry that the 1%ers will handle it with ease since tehy already have top-notch while the casual player could suffer set-backs.
Reads as if Cryptic placed a lot of thought into this Fleet Holding & so far looks really impressive with lots to accomplish!
Some of the potential Fleet Holding earned items seem really nice & make me giddy, & it doesn't seem like just another rehashed Fleet Holding instead it has uniqueness.
That's almost certainly just a Ship Tailor.
Won't these new fleet weapons make Elite Fleet Phasers obsolete (moreso)?
Or am I misreading the effects of the new weapons?
I take some hope that this talk about automatic generation of resources that are 'donated' continuously on an Auto or 'Easy Pay' System may mitigate some of the grind.
It looks clear that stuff will be available at Mk IV as it is repeated in too many locations to be a typo. Are they really saying, scr*w all the equipment you got before, we got new stuff of all types.
I guess we'll have to wait to see it on Tribble to determine if it a Funhouse or Grindhouse.

Probably difficult to say without knowing the stats. But I don't think that procs are really all that important given their small chances to actually do something.
Well maybe the costs (in terms of dilithium, doffs etc.) for the projects of these holdings will be lower. Since there will be the special resources that we have to obtain by going there and doing stuff at the holding itself. I hope this is the case, it would promote more activity within the fleet rather than just collecting resources somewhere, anywhere in the game and dumping it.
The Starbase took way too long, I hope they won't take this holding just as long and as many resources indeed.

Why do I get the feeling that this new grind, different from previous grinds, will be yet another barrier for small fleets. The only exception might be renewable batteries, and that's only if they're the same as the renewable batteries we have now and not some new resource.
By the way, there's no reason to have a different provision in the replicator for each fleet holding. They all cost the same and serve the same function; they should be universal.
However, this looks as if that sink may be done away with as you will be able to generate these 'resources' instead.

Never understood that one myself. Sure there are holding specific DOff assignments that award holding appropriate provisions, but they're not in every holding and the different types just clutter up the replicator in my opinion.
I would absolutely love some recognition for the hundreds of thousands (likely millions!) of resources I've burned in provisions. A store unlock, accolade, title, fleet discount, something, anything.
Sorry...dont get it. This is LT commander rank Mk IV. Shouldn't this be Mk XIV instead? It looks like a typo already?

Roll call ... Are you from a small fleet or a large fleet?
I'm from a small one that pushed through previously to get our holdings built.
