Alright guys... covered quite a bit of ground here. I'll try to break down the main points without turning this post into a manifesto.
In light of the upcoming Season 9.5, I'm going to be making some changes to the permissions in the repository of the bank that contains research items. It will be locked out for most members, effective immediately. The reason for this change is that these items are already skyrocketing on the exchange. What was not so long ago a dusty corner of the bank is suddenly a gold vault, and I'm going to lock it so that no member has the ability to simply take it all. It is becoming an alarming temptation, and I think it's best if we simply remove it. Once Season 9.5 arrives, I'll be transferring those items for the new equivalents and re-opening the bank for all members. In the event that you'd like to craft something BEFORE Season 9.5 hits, simply PM or mail Daniel or I, and we'll make sure you can get what you need.
Once it is open, I will ask that you take from the bank only what you need to craft items that you want, and please put any research items that you pick up in the game in the fleet bank so the rest of us can take advantage of the free inventory space. Please don't take more than you need in order to make a quick profit. I'm not going to be asking you to prove that you are crafting X or Y. The honor system that has served us well so far will remain in place.
Alright, enough about that...
Actually, one more Bank-related thing. I'm re-opening all Fleet Roles for all members. If you'd like to keep the Fleet Role you've had in the past, just let me know, but everything is open. Specifically, we need a new Banker - someone who can monitor the bank on a daily (or near daily) basis, sell things that are never being used, and generally keep things in order.
A couple of Roles have been taken. Daniel has volunteered to be our chief recruiter, and Jabitha has volunteered as our fleet's security and moderator within the chat channel and the forum. All other Roles are open.
On the subjects of roles, we are restarting the Role Playing (RP) faction of the fleet. If you are new to that game, or are interested, contact myself, Daniel, T'set, Kate, or Jabitha. Our RP faction will be one half of our recruitment push going forward. The other half will be our group co-operative mission play, which is also being re-started.
We discussed the possibility of a formal alliance with a Tier V fleet in order to gain access to Elite Fleet gear for Triforce members. Junior Tier V fleet members tend to have difficulty gaining Fleet Credits to obtain the gear that their own fleet offers, because their fleet is so large. We will offer a Tier V fleet a method to gain fleet credits (namely, through temporarily having their members join OUR fleet and donate to OUR bases in order to earn Fleet Credits which they can then use at THEIR base). This could be an opportunity for our fleet to upgrade more quickly, as well as to leech a few members from a Tier V fleet - the sort of people who value a more comfortable, smaller fleet, but covet the advanced gear. Their fleet would have happier junior members, and we would have a highway toward Tiers III and IV.
If you know of a Tier V fleet that may be interested, and can put me in touch with their leadership, please let me know!
We also discussed the proposed merger with The Phoenix Rising. I want to assure you all that I am no longer considering stepping down as fleet leader, as we now have several members back in the fold, and a few new recruits. We had reached a point of desperation back a few months ago, and I felt that a change in leadership coupled with an influx of new members was the only thing that could save the fleet. The fleet no longer needs saving - thanks to you all! I would, however, remain open to a merger with The Phoenix Rising, provided their leadership accepts a subordinate role within this fleet. We would be offering their members a full Tier higher in each of the bases, as well as access to a KDF fleet, which they do not have.
I'll be posting messages for each of the bases, spires, embassies, and mines regarding the sections of each that I view is a current priority. These will not at all be requirements for donations, merely suggestions.
It was brought up that we may be posing for a Fleet screenshot sometime in the near future. Let me know if you have ideas regarding a time and a place that you'd like to take the picture.
I think that's about it. Thanks to those that could make the meeting, and thanks for reading. See you out there!
