Hello everyone.

First, please accept my apology if this discussion thread is inappropriate. As a new member, I have been debating what the "appropriate" place would be to pose these questions, and hope that I guessed right by posting here.

Second, I want to say I am absolutely blown away by the existence of the Crafting Corps. I expected there to be some crafters around to help fleet members, but I am stunned to see how it is integrated into the fleet's website and in the game.

A few questions came to mind after seeing this resource:

1. As a individual player, I have been gathering data samples and selling them on the Exchange as my primary source of income to equip my captain, ship and bridge officers. I would really prefer now to help the Crafting Corps by providing the data samples I will be collecting in the future. I honestly don't think I have the patience to level up crafting itself. However, I enjoy flying my ship enough to collect all the data samples I can run across and would like to contribute in this way. Are these simply deposited in the Stonewall Fleet Bank?

2. I really hate to ask this next question, as I'm probably going to sound greedy, but it is really asked out of curiosity. As I mentioned, up until now I have been using the collection and selling of these samples to fund my equipment. Since I would be (and more than happy to) losing this revenue source as an individual captain, are there any discounts provided to fleet members who actively stock the data samples the Crafting Corps. need? As I become more active with fleet events, I will need to be able to fund the equipment necessary to be effective in STFs and possibly even PvP. My personal goal would be "train" in these game features so I, in turn, would be able to help train others with the experience the fleet provided me.

Thanks in advance!
