Promotion to requisitioning request.

Hi Akurie!

As I mentioned to you online:

Your offer of donations is very generous - fleeties can always contribute to any projects for the starbase when they are up.

Promotions to fleet membership happen within 14 days of your joining - after that point, fleet requisitioning can be taken up with one of the officers.

Welcome to the fleet!

To clarify: what you actually get access to as a full member is a full set of equipment for one ship and one officer. So you get a weapon, shield, and armor for your captain, and a shield, engine, deflector, and [strike]6[/strike] 8 weapons for your ship. Oh, and a ship, obvs.

You might have already known that but I wouldn't want someone to see "1 item per member" and think they would have to choose between getting a gun and getting armor or something.

The full set you're allowed is actually per character, not per member as well. So if you have characters in Stonewall Fleet, Deep Space Stonewall and House of Nagh reD you can outfit those as well.

and 6 weapons for your ship.

Six being the bare minimum number of weapons on a Tier 5-or-higher ship, being the logic?

Kas, who was not around for those discussions.

I believe he meant 8 ;)

Math is hard. :(

two starships depart earth in exactly opposite paths. each travels 3 light years, makes a 90 degree left turn and travels for 4 light years...how far apart are they at this point?

god...it's like SATs all over again.

I open a wormhole in front of each ship so they end up back at the starting point, thus since they are occupying the same space they rip open the space time continuum thus destroying the multiverse. Math has now killed an infinite number of people.

It totally is 10. 3 4 and 5 are the neat pythagorean theorem numbers. Math is one thing; shortcuts are quite another.

Passing thought to bring up: for those of us not happy without our swarm of flying monkeys, would we be able to swap a hangar req for one of the eight weapon reqs (once the fleet hits Science V, of course)?

I've only been with the fleet for a few weeks and was looking for guidance on fleet requisitions last week.

Is there any guidance on how much you should be aiming to put into the fleet before you are deemed to be able to make any kind of request to buy something from it? At some point I would like to buy a fleet ship (and already have the fleet credits, and the fleet module) but it sounds like it's a bit more complex than that.

Is it done on a policy of making a request, and then a captain looking at how much you have put into the fleet to see if you are allowed to make the purchase?

Hi Starfish if you have the required FC, Ship Modules and or Dilithium for the items you would like to get and we have the items all you need to do is ask any fleet captain. That's all :)

Starfish:

Just to add to Sinner's statement, the only other requirement is that you are a full member. Meaning you have made your introductory post on the website (which you've done) and waited the 14 days to be promoted to member. Other than that, it's quite simple.

Jamie.

Thanks for that guys.

For some reason I thought it was more complex. B)
