I know this is probably an old discussion but why can't they put something like a bank on fleet stations where we can turn fleet marks my issue is my fleet is at lvl 5 on almost everything and we dont make a lot of projects anymore and our armada seems to have gone quiet of projects so im stuck with a bunch of marks and no way to convert them and i don't want to leave my high level fleet just to convert marks. am i missing something here fleet mark conversion seems to be the most frustrating part of this game that holds me back from getting better stuff on some toons.

Second. Do you have multiple characters in said high level fleet? Any of them of a rank to invite/promote? If so, ensure at all times, that one with the power to invite/promote is in the high end fleet. You can then send out alternate characters to try and shop around for low end fleets who need a quick injection, to get you likewise the fleet credits. Then leave that low level fleet with character, have your higher rank drag him/her in, to swap ranks or promote, whatever.
Third. If you are low on the totem pole, talk to fleet members about the projects moving forward again, the armada about doing the same. Otherwise, you will have to decide if the bottleneck is worth having your characters languish in said fleet, or if they should find another fleet that will take care of their needs.
Like the previous reply said, ask your fleet leadership if you want more projects slotted. But don't be surprised if it takes a while. I have 28,000 fleet marks (they are easy to get, and nowhere else to use them), and as a fleet leader I understand I can't always just get the easy way to earn fleet credits....EVERYBODY wants that, not just you.
If you want to actually help your fleet with projects to build facilities and/or earn provisions, you need to donate stuff other than fleet marks too. Duty officers, ECs, even a little dilithium here and there.
Up until this day I never ever saw a single fleet that is not in need of Dilitium. I donated millions of it to the ones I’m in and believe it or not I reached the credit cap on quite a few of my characters with nothing left to buy.
Problem solved.

Also OP see how provisioning is for the various holdings and if something is getting low offer to complete an entire provisioning project in all respects to help your fleet out.
Keep in mind you are probably not the only one watching this happen.
If you talk to the Fleet leaders Your best bet is the surplus Fleet marks project. and depending on how many marks you have you might want to ask if several can be done.

If your fleet leaders can't be bothered to perform the simple task of slotting such projects, it's time to find a new fleet.
EDIT: unload surplus fleet marks doesn't require EC.
^^ The OP would do well to accept this as best answer.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Such things can happen but it has been my experience that those people who slot projects also end up filling the awkward parts of them in order to set the next rotation.
When I troll my marks to self opened projects we usually look at days of filling dil on my part and me getting sick of it. Trolling fleet marks becomes a healing experience for me then.

There need to be way more things in the game that award fleet dilithum vouchers.
The best part of the Gamma recruit so far is that I keep getting Dilithium vouchers to contribute to the fleet. Refined Dilithium is the 2nd most precious commodity in the game behind only Zen, they need to either reduce the fleet requirements or increase the amount of fleet voucher rewards.
Players simply can't afford to contribute as much as they would like to. The voucher system is a great way to fix that, it's a reward that is just used to help the fleet. I wish they gave them out more often. I would like to see them added to the Endeavor box.
Oh yea those vouchers are a real bonus. Sadly besides the recruitment event and the ferengi at mine who takes lock box mining claims in exchange (at a very bad rate) there’s sadly no way to get them.
I also hope that you did not take my rant as any form of criticism cuz there is none. I’m very proud of our players and our holding’s progress. The only one who is to blame is cryptic who saw it prudent to a make a colony release in the 80 mil dil range under the full knowledge that dil was already a problem for much cheaper holdings.

No no.. absolutely not. You and a few others do a tremendous amount for our fleet and deserve credit for all your efforts. My issue is entirely with Cryptic and the way they designed the fleet dilithium requirements. I do believe they have a good counter in the fleet vouchers, they just need to do more about making them more available.
My one and only issue is that I wish Cryptic would give me more ways to help the fleet with requirements. None of the ill will lays with any player, especially not you.
Btw, if you folks need any stuff from a T5 colony please give a shout in chat.
Think best to get are kentari boffs. We managed to complete the colony in OC Third Watch beta fleet as it was considerably cheaper there. I was also fortunate to have flocki from the DPS league often push for simulations which we hosted there and filled with OCD and Metal DPSer. She even managed to complete her colony a bit faster than we did so invite requests in the DPS channels work too.

This is my experience as well in numerous fleets where my rank ranges from player to leader. I have so many fleet credits via Colony dil contributions in my own fleets that I use them to get doffs for affiliated lower tiered fleets in the armada as really there's nothing else I need.
I really don't know what they were thinking when they designed that holding. Have stopped my KDF (permanently) at Tier 3 and our Fed, which just reached Tier 4 may be finished one day™ in the far future. I find it rather taxing to be honest and pardon the pun. I'd go as far as saying a lot of my friends would see me queuing up to just have fun more often if it wasn't for this nemesis.
Congrats on reaching Tier 5. You have some exceptionally talented (and helpful) members in your fleet. I did many sims with one friend and OCD member in particular who could actually float between SG's and pull up the slack when things weren't going as planned. You probably know who I'm referring to
Would even venture to say I've probably gotten more helpful tips and enjoyable times on your channel than on any other over the past while. Teamwork, positive attitudes, and the willingness to help others improve their game... thank you. You may just have one of the best groups of people in the game and should be proud.
Lol yep, with the colony they really pushed it too far. But it sounds great that lee ventured well beyond ocd to tend to this holding together with you. If you and your players don’t make use of it already please always let yourselves be invited to OC Third Watch holdings to get the stuff you need.
One could argue that maxing out all colonies is not really needed but I know that all fleets take so much pride in their efforts that they will want to get there to eventually as well. Until the next holding hits I’ll direct my dil to our kling fleet. But yea, as u mentioned we also look at a rather long time there.

I respect that.
Unfortunately it’s often an attitude which is common among players who don’t give a dime about fleet contributions and who justify that with a lack of assurances they can get game sided as far as their fleet status is concerned. You know in the end… fleet projects don't fill themselves to be able to get anywhere one day™.

If Cryptic framed holding construction as investment rather than charity, more players would be inclined to participate.
It would be nice if fleet group STFS could award a choice of marks or fleet dilithium vouchers.

This would be fantastic. Fleets could do days where they group and do STF runs (OCD already does this.. shameless plug) but everyone could grab the vouchers and make it a fleet goal to get a stuck project going.
That would honestly be a lot of fun, even if the vouchers weren't a ton of Dilithium, it would still be a fun thing for the group to work toward that goal. This is a great idea that I hope will get some consideration.
