Is your fleet rank cadet? Cadets don't have permission to contribute to projects.

Timelord_Victorious · July 21 2012, 04:58 PM

Why don't cadets have that permission? I don't think that there is a way to abuse the system for contributors since the fleet wins with every bit of resource spent.
Just access to limited store item should be reserved for full membership.

I can't change the settings for Cadets, but what I have done is promote Squiggy's character to Crewman.

I guess in a larger fleet, the concern would be that a cadet is 'poaching' the Fleet credits that other members need a chance to contribute. Thought they stay with you, so you could rack up a lot by joining a fleet, putting in cheap junk that earns a bunch of points, then going to another fleet.

Not awful, as you're still donating, but for the 'easy' categories to fill, you could get a lot of credits, and prevent 'real' fleet members from being able to donate them.

To be honest, there was no big reason why cadets can't contribute, as I was just getting to grips with the fleet permission for the starbase construction projects and happened to set them that way. I don't see a reason now why they couldn't be opened up to cadets and will do so tonight.

So has everyone seen the interior of the fleet base yet? Part of me says "Awesome!". The other part says "this cost 200,000 dilithium?!".

LeadHead · July 30 2012, 07:08 AM

I put in about half of that, so You're Welcome.

Thank you

Thanks, I was trying to be funny more than fishing for kudos.

And less than 2 days we'll have our Transwarp Gate!

LeadHead · August 1 2012, 07:16 AM

J. Allen · August 1 2012, 08:15 AM

It'll be nice to have that option!

T J · August 1 2012, 05:48 PM

Starting to see folks leaving their fleet once they realize their gate won't be finished for a long time, they are asking to join fleets with a gate... funny.

Briquettes · August 1 2012, 06:53 PM

^I don't think I'll ever understand that mentality. "I want my shinies and I want them NAO!"

Hell, the transwarp gate is probably the starbase project I'm least interested in. Between the T5 excelsior and the diplomacy perks I can already go any place I want instantly.
