Fleet Advancement

[SciFiFan]

Ladies and Gentlemen of MSFC. As you may know, Season 6 is underway. Yes, there are tons of bugs that still need worked out. I don't know of a single update that did not come with the little critters. With S6 comes the fleet starbase and fleet advancement system. We are currently focusing on the Federation side as that is the larger of the two fleets. I encourage all members to dabble on the KDF side as well. In order to advance the fleet and build the base, commodities will need to be donated to the cause. I HIGHLY encourage all fleet members to contribute. The rewards will be new items, weapons, and ships. Unfortunately, we were unable to get a crew together on Tribble to test the system prior to launch. Due to this, we are still learning the system. Here is a brief tutorial on how to contribute to the fleet projects.

Fleet bases are located in the Eta Eridani Sector Block. UFP is in the lower left corner and the KDF is in the upper right corner.


To contribute to the fleet projects:

1) Access the fleet UI by pressing the fleet icon under the mini-map.


2) Press the "Holdings" tab at the top of the fleet UI.


3) Select which project you wish to contribute to.


4) Contribute which commodities you can.


I will try to post here when projects are completed and the fleet advances through the tiers. Take a look at the available projects and feel free to post which projects you would like to see scheduled. Projects can only be started by a fleet administrator (Majestic, Katala, and Myself). There are three slots for active projects and I would like to try to keep one project of each class (Tactical, Engineering, and Science) active at any given time.

Thank You for your time.
SciFiFan,
Fleet Administrator.

What is the Room with a View Event? Was just online and looking and all it told me was limited time Event. Can any fleet member contribute to it?

That is a special project that removes the blast shutters from the base to allow you to see into space. That project is not active for our fleet at this time. If a project is not active, no contributions can be made. If we get the current special project done in time, we can work on it next.

Is progress on the events time based or contribution based?

I have fleet credits I'd be willing to contribute. Once proper arrangements can be made.

 

[SciFiFan]

I believe both. Starts out by collecting the resources required for the project, then the timer starts.

 

[Andre27]

I'll run another fleet event(s) later so we can get the tactical and engineering filled up.

The medium tholian killing missions give 10 fleetpoints and are really easy to combine with other tholian missions. Only 50 kills needed.

Engineers plant some turrets and watch the show.

Tactical summon some teams and smile.

Only the science characters will need to kill 50 themselves

 

[SciFiFan]

Great job everyone! The first fleet project has all materials needed and is on completion counter. We still need Phaser Turret Satellites for the Engineer and Fleet Marks for the Tactical. Anytime three or more fleet members are on, try to team up for some fleet missions. Keep up the great work.

Don't have duderon particle trace and the plans or they would be in the making already.

Lost count of how many fleetpoints i donated today. Time for some R&R and a brew.

I hope we can get a crew together for the hard missions against the tholians. Speaking of which, i donated a number of decent EV suits for those of the fleet who don't have an EV suit yet.

Those fleet vessels are sweet!

Darklight, Kyle, Kat and I ran a few Fleet Events last night to get more fleet marks.

Dang, i thought it was later today so i missed it. Was busy with those few hours of mandatory unconsciousness.

MSFC Taskforce,

You all are doing an excellent job on the fleet projects. We have a special project that only has the Fleet Marks left for completion. I would like to ask the fleet to concentrate on completing this task. The next special project is time limited and only requires dilithium. I feel we could complete this project very quickly. Again, thank you all for your continued contributions and actively seving the fleet to benefit all.

Actually all 3 active projects are only lacking fleet marks. Tactical first, then engineering and then trade?

Below the active fleet projects you will see "Special Project." We have until the 26th to get the "Place with a View" special project started before we lose out on being able to do it.

In the picture below, you will see the screenshot that shows the active projects in the highlighted box. The top three are the "Starbase Projects" and the bottom two are "Starbase Special Projects."

This project is now up and running, so all member who can and wish to commit to this project are encouraged to do so.

200k dilithium just for a view? To be honest IMO this event is not worth the cost. I'd rather see investments in the regular projects.

I too also agree, that is designed more for larger fleets I think. This is a voluntary assignment and no member has to contribute to any fleet assignment if they don't want too. I have put a little bit of dilithium into this project, however I agree with you 200,000 is a bit pricey for a view.

 

[Terra_Inc]

Ah, that's kind of cool. I haven't logged in for a month or so (University and coding take most of my time ) but I'll probably fire it up a bit more frequently after this weekend. We finally have our semester break

Fleet Special Projects

MSFC Taskforce members,

Due to the size of our fleet, we will not be doing many special projects. The rewards for the normal special projects are 5 Military, 5 Engineering, and 5 Science experience points. We do not feel that the cost of projects is worth the effort for such a small fleet. They are really designed to give larger fleets more opertunity to get members a chance to get fleet credits. With the size of our fleet, all of our resources should be going towards the main projects. The only special projects we will be running are the Limited Time Prjects. 200,000 dilithium is a lot to ask for cosmetics so we do not require any member to contribute. I (SciFiFan) will be focusing my dilithium to these projects as a "gift" to the fleet to give us some customization of our base. Any member who wishes to contribute anything is indeed welcomed to do so. For each dilithium you contribute, you get the same value in fleet credit. Contribute 1000 dilithium, get 1000 fleet credits.

We are half way done with the tier 1 military which will allow the Tier 1 Fleet Shipyard to be built. Keep up the great work.

Also, I have sent out a fleet mail announcing a competition of sorts to name the starbase. After one week, I have yet to get any responses. Any member who would like to suggest a name, please do so using the ingame mail system. Send it to either @SciFiFan_78, @majesticmsfc, or @katala77. We will then pick a winner which will be able to receive a prize. I have several requisition packs that the winner will be able to pick. If the winner does not want one of the packs, then the council may decide on an EC amount to award in stead.

Once again, thank you all for the great participation and keep up the great work.

MSFC Council,

What are fleet credits for? I am planning on donating all my(modest sum of) dilithium to the fleet since I play so rarely these days.

Fleet credits are used to purchase from the fleet stores. We will soon have the tier one fleet shipyard which you can use the fleet credits to buy some ships. Some ships require only Fleet Credits and others require Fleet Credits plus Fleet Ship Modules (available only from the C-Stor or Exchange).
