The Endgame PvE Zone (was it orr? something like that) sounds like a lot of fun! Can't wait!

A word from the Admirality stating that they are building up the provisions to allow a surplus would be wise. However they should refrain from Utilizing the Provisioned equipment and ships before the provisioning surplus is met. They should be given first shot at the Provisions, which they can do by allowing the Fleet captain, and admirals access a day or two early.

We aren't building up a surplus. We've already started allowing members to purchase items from the Fleet Stores. I think a grand total of 2 Fleet Ships, 1 Weapon and 1 Armor has been purchased so far.

This was one of the big topics that we discussed during the Fleet-wide meeting last weekend. It was decided that we would impose limits on how many items that a member can purchase, (For instance, one ship per person). There's a fleet rank called "Empty" currently that has the purchase permission. To be allowed the ability to purchase from the Fleet Store all you have to do is request a temporary promotion from a Fleet Captain or Admiral. Let the Fleet Captain now what you're purchasing so they can keep a record and tell them when you're done.

We're still working on the exact specifics for the limits, but hope to have them out soon. I was hoping to get the minutes out today from the meeting, but got caught up in-game. :P

The Purpose of the 30 minute projects is SOLELY for the generation of fleet credits. The 5 xp that goes toward the starbase exp is negligible. These projects have no overall value to the " improvement of the Starbase" Only as a fleet credit opportunity. 600 FM for a 30 min mission? 180 for a 20 hr?

Since the Members are not currently allowed to use the Provisioned stores, it seems like everyone who is contributing is doing so for the benefit of the Fleet captains and admirals. which in this fleet is approximately 9% of the the membership.

There is no current way of preventing the Mass assault on the projects, other than the hated 1 Data Sample at a time. Which in my opinon is a good thing to equalize the opportunity for FC accummulation. I think PW/C should implement a similar system for all contributions. For example, MAX 50 FM per contribution, or Max 500 Dilithium, or 750 Expertise. The only thing that would happen with those limitations is that the project MIGHT start a Minute or two later, but the everyone online during the ontribution time will have equal opportunity to contribute.

Please forgive the rant. I like the new Stuff but every day since Season 6 launched, I log in and read complaints about the way the systems works, and these are my thoughts on fixing them.

Nothing can be done to enforce "a fleet Policy" unless someone is assigned the task of doing so, which will make that person unlikable in the long run, and I don't believe we need to put anyone in that position.

Gracious, things have changed a lot in-game. Makes me think about whether I want to rejoin. I've got enough garbage in my life without paying for it, too.

STO is free to play.

Problem solved.

Converting my toons to Silver means losing the hard work I've done creating my BOs because you're not allowed as many. And that's not just work in-game. I don't know, for every character--captain and BO--I create, I have a whole backstory and their relationships to the rest of the crew. My BOs ain't no redshirts. :-P Maybe that doesn't make sense, but it's where I draw my line.

I dunno about the rest of you but first thing I do is remove the profanity filter followed by removing local and zone chatter I really don't care what other ppl have to say only channels I have on are the ones I want ...

Yep, salvage hehe. It isn't a whole lot you get back from it, but if you've crafted alot of items, you can maybe get enough materials back for 1 or 2 more items.Or just save them for later.

Traull (@Joogoo) and I will also be going!

Sure, help people and at the same time teach them your religions values... from "don't use condoms, but create lots of little children you can't feed" to "if you act on your gay tendencies you will go to hell".

Fortunately over here companies don't mingle in religious/moral/political things. But because of historical reasons schools, hospitals, ... do. All the schools i went to where catholic schools, because the quality is a lot better than the state run schools (a matter of funding). They where good schools. But, looking back at it, if i had been educated in more open minded schools i would have realised earlier that i was gay and perhaps been able to come out of the closet in stead of having suicide thoughts. Not that in those schools any teacher ever said anything bad about gays, but it was a subject that was rarely mentioned.

I easily went from crafting level 20, to level 70 in a matter of 15 or so minutes just discovering and breaking down. This was if you have a good stack of materials (which come really quickly, so should be no problem early on), and breaking down your disciplines materials.

With breakdown i assume you mean salvage. I hadn't considered that. How much of the original basic materials do you get back?

Quote by Angelsilhouette

I was always very wary of Chick-fil-A. Not just because their prices were ridiculous, but because I learned back when I worked in the mall that they all close on Sunday because of, y'know, God an stuff. They made a special deal with the mall management to do so because they would have been fined every sunday, otherwise.

I never minded the fact they were closed on Sunday. It was very obvious what their reasons were, even being from the same area of the country in which Chick-fil-A is based. But here it's not uncommon with all the blue laws. Even then, if religion was their reason for being closed on Sunday, I still didn't have a problem with it. It was part of their business model to be closed on Sunday even if for religious reasons. Heck, it worked in my book. They used religion as a promoting factor. I don't mind religious institutions (though I'm not religious myself). Most do a lot of good in their communities including charitable work. However, they must also realize that this is a business decision, too, and that to come out of the closet against gay marriage in a strongly worded way can and hopefully will hurt their bottom line.

And, of course, the goon squad is in The Secret World, now. Probably scheming on how to best harass and grief those who are on the "RP servers"
