Starting Monday, December 9
th, we'll be enabling the "Purchase from Fleet Store" permission to the Member rank in Stonewall Fleet, Deep Space Stonewall and House of Nagh reD. This will allow Members to purchase items from the Fleet Store on the Starbase and Embassy in all of our fleets. As well, we'll be lifting the previous limits. We only ask that Members consider the needs of their fellow fleet members when purchasing items in large quantities.
The rank progression will then be as follows: Recruits can neither donate to Projects or purchase from Fleet Stores, Cadets can donate to Projects, but not purchase from Fleet Stores, Members can donate to Projects and purchase from Fleet Stores.
If you're currently a Cadet and would like to become a Member, please make an introductory post in the
Start Here section of our forums. After that, if you've already had a character in the fleet for two weeks or more, upon request, we'll bypass the normal two-week waiting period and promote you to Member.
In the event that we drop below 25 Fleet Ship Provisions, Engineering Personal Provisions or Science Personal Provisions, we'll revert back to the current system while our supply builds back up. We're aware that we're currently below that limit for our Embassy provisions and we hope that with the assistance of our membership we can quickly build one up for all members to enjoy.
On another note, I want to thank everyone who made their position on this matter clear in the "A Gentle Reminder" thread. You're thoughts and positions on matters that affect the fleet are always important to us. Although, a debate of that magnitude is not necessary to elicit change in fleet policy. Bringing attention to the issues that may trouble our membership and possible solution that you'd like to see only need to be brought to our attention.
