So lately I've been getting PMs from Anishal, the leader of The Phoenix Rising, our allied fleet.
He's been boasting - BOASTING - that his fleet will upgrade their Dilithium Mine to Tier 2 before we will. I politely informed him that OUR fleet is far ahead of his Tier 1 Starbase, but he is unfazed.
This cannot stand.
With your blessing, I'd like to authorize Ryvaken to use his superior lobes to use our fleet EC to purchase all remaining commodities to upgrade the Dilithium Mine immediately.
Furthermore, I'd like to finish the Starbase as soon as we possibly can, so I can have a few choice PMs to send to him in rebuttal.
Who is with me??

By your command.
So say we all!
... I think I got my franchises mixed up but the central theme to take from this presentation is that I approve of the plan.

The fleet bank has about 13 million EC
IF I manage to buy at 60 EC per FC (which will not happen, 75 is the best I am likely to pull off for most of it) that comes out to 216,667 fleet credits. And that assumes I actually have that many openings to donate to projects with, which I am doubtful of.
That best case total buys 361 dilithium mine provisions.
We need a little under 1000.

OK, I ran the numbers to cross-check you, and I come to a more pessimistic number than you. It looks to me like you'll only be able to generate about 43,000 fleet credits by buying all of the commodities needed, and another about 15,000 buying all of the remaining duty officers on the exchange. Good news is there appears to be plenty of energy credits in the bank for this endeavor, so it comes down to the dilithium mine provisions, as you say.
As far as I know I've got the most, or maybe second most, fleet credits of anyone in the fleet. If you'll go ahead and use the EC in the bank to buy the commodities to make the upgrade, I'll take care of the dilithium mine provisions.
That being said, if anyone would be willing to help me out with that, I'd sure appreciate it. I'm just going to go ahead and not think about how much dilithium that represents.

OR... On second thought... using the Gateway, a little fuzzy math, a bit of estimating and quite a bit of rounding down, I can see that we, as a fleet, have amassed a total of some 12 million Fleet Credits. That's not counting those members that are no longer online often, and it's not counting spent Fleet Credits (which I cannot see).
How about this...
Can everyone please direct 5% of your current fleet credit total toward buying dilithium mine provisions?
I can make up for any remainder that's left.

That sounds fair. I'll jump aboard.

I consumed a little bit over 8 million EC from the fleet bank and generated 121,800 fleet credits (give or take a few hundred of my own when I wasn't paying attention) for 203 dilithium mine provisions.
We still need something like 500, last I checked. That'll be 300,000 fleet credits or so. An obtainable number.
Oh, and let's just underscore what this upgrade gets us. Cheaper dilithium donations to all current and future fleet projects. A doff assignment to refine extra dilithium. A dilithium mine minigame with good payout.
This will pay for itself a hundred times over.
