With some of the recent changes to the game it has become much harder to get the large amount of fleet marks needed to do fleet projects in our starbases and now embassies. Especially for small fleets like mine where our starbase progression has come to a halt.

My proposal is make fleet marks available for fleet credits in our starbases, and make the price outway the reward so it's a sink, like 60 Credits to buy 1 Fleet mark so by turning them in I still lose 10 credits for every fleet mark I buy. So I won't make any profit by getting fleet marks this way but my fleet would still advance.

This would help smaller fleets where the members are Fleet Credit rich and Fleet mark poor.
I really don't see why or how this could break the game, only how it would help small fleets.

i am in for this.
my small KDF fleet of 2 people and 8 chars has a shipyard I now, but we just cannot move on cause noone queues for the fleet marks rewarding fleet actions.

Our source prior to S7 were the Officer Reports clickers and some Fleet actions.

No way i spend 8 hours grinding Nukara or Defera for 180 Fleet Marks.

They should be easier available. One could buy them just as the Romulan Embassy Provisions, or one could change Omega Marks/Romulan Marks for them.

Or there should be some daily reward for just logging in - 10, 20 FM pro character a day just for logging in.

I agree, I really hope the devs due something to help out all of us in small fleets.

not just referring to fleet marks in general but everything needed for the fleet/embassy, but is it me or does it seem like they are trying to force smaller fleets to merge? I don't know about the rest of the small fleets but it's getting tougher and tougher to find people looking for a fleet that are serious about joining, contributing and staying.

personally I like you're idea, but I think something that might help us all out a lot more would be some type of trading or alliance system for smaller fleets, maybe max fleet size somewhere between 10-20 in a fleet.

for example even without the 1 clicks (which i do miss already) I usually have more than enough fleet marks, but am often short on the duty officers or the dreaded dilithium. Where as another fleet maybe seriously short on fleet marks but have an abundance of doffs or dil to trade. to prevent people from exploiting this they could set up a "fleetbase cargo bay" so the traded items would go directly into that cargo bay and only be able to be contributed to projects.

what do you think of some type of merged proposal with you're idea and mine?

/10 char.

No I say scale the resource requirements with size of fleet.

This. Make this happen. How the hell are we supposed to get this massive amount of fleetmarks when the daily is gone and KDF queues almost always empty?

Oh, and the first one who mentions Nukara gets a Bat'leth to his face

We've said it time and again and fail to see why Cryptic have done it.

Fleet marks for PvP. Open PvP matches should award fleet marks, and not just 10 for a whole match, something like 50 each for a winning team. You'll start to see PvP queues be filled as it solves two problems at once, giving small groups of people at ALL levels another source of Fleet Marks and an incentive to play PvP.

You really have to be blind not to see this perfect opportunity.

Yeah something really does need done to support the smaller fleets. Our fleet is made up of only around five people, each with many alts, but for the last month or so because of the grindfest it's turning into, I've been the only active member... This means fleet progression has ground to a standstill.

I don't see why we should have to abandon our fleets and move to larger ones where we don't know anybody, just to advance in the fleet system. They allow fleets to be created with only a couple of people and therefore a couple of people should be able to advance a starbase.

With the two new mark types we have to grind now my fleet's progression has come to a halt, unless cryptic does something about the fleet mark problem soon, My fleet might hit T3 by 2017.
