This is exactly what I ran into on Tribble.

I joined a testing fleet with one other dude (essentially). I would bust my hump on Fleet Marks to push a project over and when next project would come up and he'd snap up all of the easy contributions, leaving me yet again to grind Fleet Marks.

I was about to post something on the feedback forums asking for more ways to gain Fleet Marks (like doing Patrol Missions), but they shoved this thing to Holodeck right after Tribble Weekend. So, I let it slide.

This thing went to Holodeck WAY too soon, IMHO. Shoulda took another week of feedback gathering and adjustment, TBH.

We are not having this trouble

if you are your fleet is overlarge or run by someone who should not be running it

I want you to remember this moment. I am a paying customer, and I am about to walk out the door.

How the hell do you solve that problem?

I followed the rules, and I ended up losing.

I am a casual single-player.

When I gave it a shot at joining a fleet, I ended up losing out at the end.

I was basically told, "You get paid in fleet marks, so you should be happy with just getting them."

You guys gave power to one group of players, and you ended up alienating another group in the process.

If I have the money on the table (while meeting certain requirements), how did another player just determine how I use my resources?

Why are other players (and gates) standing in the way of me making a purchase?

Sack the leader

Stand for the post yourself or support someone else for it

It was the fleet owner. I had no choice but to leave.

Should have talked to the others
Taken a vote and impeached him.

Remember democracy Rules ok.

You cannot fire a fleet owner.

(forget it)

Why are you commenting on matters in which do not involve you?

My question is to pwebranflakes. Not you.

I Was trying to help

but I see you only want to moan so I withdraw my offer to do so
