Hello Fleet,
This is where we’ll keep you updated about the K-13 Fleet Holding progress. K-13 is currently located in the Alpha Quadrant/Breen Sector – 20 Draconis, and can be seen but not visited. (*Spoiler*?) It’s assumed it will be fully unlocked after a few Featured Episodes (or perhaps sufficient projects) and it will be moved somehow to the Beta Quadrant.
Edit: K13 will be accessible after Tier 1 completes (Thanks Novellus).
* The Bar has been unlocked within the first 24hrs of K-13 going live on all our 3 fleets – space makes thirsty 44th Captains ! 😀
Cryptic threw a wrench into the general Fleet provisioning project system by replacing the usual commodities by ec; this makes donations certainly easier but also more expensive since there were a lot of ways to earn a boatload of commodities in-game (they also removed those from the lucrative Dyson Sphere space Doff projects as a reward sadly). This means that the Fleet will be re-opening regular projects among our three fleets again so you guys can earn Fleet Credits for the shiny Fleet equipment, weapons and fleet ships more easily.
Needless to say our priority will continue to be K-13 and completing the final Tier of our 44th Delta Fleet starbase.We’re 1/3 on the way of completing K-13s Tier 1 (on all our three fleets) and focus will be on the 2 main projects awarding the large XP (see attachments):
Each reward 1,200 Xenotech/Retrofit xp respectively and require;
12 K-13 Provisions
204,000 ec
22 Common Duty officers (Xeno – Sci/Med, Retrofit – Eng/Ops)
10,188 dilithium
358 Fleet Marks
As a reminder, besides the free Doffs at the Academy, you can also buy Doffs with Fleet credits at our starbase(s).
Buy the Fleet Personnel – common boxes for 500 Fleet credits which gives you a random one; you can always donate the ‘wrong’ type to other projects. Donating a white Doff earns you 250-300 Fleet credits (depends on projects) so the net cost is relatively low.
And of course you can cross-donate between 44th Fleet and 44th Delta Fleet projects, plus the Armadas, so make sure to check them out.
The first two Tiers of any fleet holding are relatively low cost, and this will allow to open some ‘cosmetic’ projects along the way, but we may hold off on the more exotic (read: expensive dilithium) ones untill K-13 has been fully completed.
We’ll keep you updated on this thread. Any K-13 related questions, ask them here. 🙂
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."I’ve seen a couple of people in Fleet chatting asking about the ability to visit K-13. According to this official post by a dev, we must complete all Tier 1 missions before it can be boarded.
Well, it looks I spoke too soon. We slotted the 1/2 part of the K13 Tier 1 upgrade on our main fleet (Delta and KDF will follow in a day or two), but both Eng/Xeno (sci) upgrades take 5 days each – so earliest access to K13 will be no sooner than 10 days from now.
I know ofcourse this is a long-term project, but I’m a bit bummed that mere access to K13 (even if only an empty hulk now, heck that actual map is ingame already) takes so long. But, we’re on our way 🙂Tier 1 Upgrade Requirements (Main fleet, due to bonus unlock Delta and KDF will vary slightly);
77 K13 Provisions
1,904,000 ec
180,000 xp
102 white Doffs (Eng/Ops for Eng, Sci/Med for Xeno)
63,570 refined dilithium
1,607 Fleet MarksK13 Tier 1 unlocks;
Each of these upgrades take 5 days, and only one can be slotted a time. We’ll alternate these between fleets, so 44th Main will first slot Eng followed by Xeno, Delta and / or KDF vice versa.
Be also aware that once these are finished it doesn’t mean we can start buying the Ground Weapons or Xeno consoles just yet; they need to be sufficiently provisioned first. There will initially be a strickt limit (1 item per player), untill we have enough. Thankfully as an active fleet provisioning isn’t usually an issue in the 44th, but patience is required. 😉
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."Hello Fleet.
Well it’s confirmed, after 2x 5-day updates to even unlock the first Tier-1 unlock, that same Tier-1 unlock will also take 5-days:
Requirements are:
153 K-13 Provisions
3,808,000 energy Credits
180,000 expertise
293,400 Dilithium
3,214 Fleet MarksThat means K-13’s Tier I unlocks around November 18th, with our first official opening party with open Bar will be around the 18th/19th on 44th Main Fleet. See you there. 🙂
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."You didn’t know this, but that’s what’s REALLY on that plaque when you beam in. And makes sense as K-13 is on the other side of the Galaxy, so you can get as loud as you want.
In space, no one can hear you scream.
They also can’t hear you make an a$$ of yourself when you’re drunk.
K-13, Open Bar 24/7.🙂
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."The latest K-13 Fleet Special project has been slotted and already filled on 44th Main Fleet, Delta and KDF need a little extra love.
Also, I’ve opened the Research Lab’s Dilithium Boost project – this will give everyone a small bonus on all Dilithium earned for the next 5 days. With everyone hungry for dili this will help a bit; these particular projects also have a 5-day cooldown/block which is why we don’t slot them too often. Should be nearly completed, but check progress.
As always, ALL fleet donations are voluntary, so any donation great or small is appreciated.
Speaking of, I forgot to mention this in my monthly blog, but the trade in white Doffs is slowly becoming lucrative again, especially Eng and Sci variants. Seems to balance between 55-75,000 ec on the exchange so if you have Green/Blue doffs you don’t use, downgrade them to whites (at the Personnel NPC on ESD or our Main starbase) and earn some extra pocket-money.
You can also buy (random) doffs for 500 fleet credits at our starbase(s) Personnel NPC, and career specific ones for 750.
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."Hello Fleet.
Quick update on K-13 – Tier 1 is unlocked on all our three fleets ! You can now visit and transwarp directly to K-13 as well.
A big Thank You to all that contributed so far.
Right now at Tier 1 there’s not much to do yet, except a daily 20 fleet mark mission similar to the ones found on our fleet starbases and embassy. Still that’s 3x 20 FMs with little effort.
You can buy some limited kit, just remember that everyone is limited to a single item for now, just to experiment. We still have to run enough provisioning projects but we prefer to complete the Xeno and Engineer Tiers first to unlock the better quality items.
Don’t waste your hard won fleet marks and dilithium on low tier (green) equipment if you’re going to get very rare (purple) kit eventually.On a similar note, we also completed another dilithium boost-period of 5 (now 3 left) days – you can see the small dilithium symbol active on your avatar. This will provide a minor boost to all of your dilithium earnings, including Doffing and Admiralty (but unfortunately not Reputation Hourly/Dailies). These fleet boosts have a 5 day cooldown which is why they aren’t active as often, but we’ll slot them more regularly now.
Congrats to all, on to Tier 2. 🙂
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."Project 3 of 8 has been slotted, some more cosmetics – http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10278953-k-13-fleet-holding-special-unlocks on all three fleets.
If you are donating dilithium – Thanks! – please focus on the regular Engineering and Xeno projects (on all three of our fleets), and only donate to these special cosmetic projects last. Cryptic calls these “unique” and “limited time” but they will always pop up again later. We benefit more from unlocks and provisioning as a fleet than from some pretty flowers (unless it’s a salad bar).
Overall we are on and even a little ahead of schedule: you can see that some of our Armada members (and I know a few other outside fleets as well) aren’t even halfway Tier 1 and don’t have these pretty amenities. Thanks all for your contributions so far.
Quick question: are you earning enough fleet credits via the other regular fleet projects ? Would you like more, or less, or specific ones ? We’re no Vulcan telepaths so shout out and let us know so we can slot those for you.
( The best way to earn a bunch of fleet marks still is Defera Ground (Hards) – a team of just 3 fleeties can slice through that assimilated map like a Bat’leth through an overripe Tulaberry – ask in diplo-chat for a team and see for yourself )
Cheers 🙂
