Tier 5 upgrades on the horizon

We had the fleet's fourth anniversary last week, but being busy, it was not marked. But something is coming up worthy of note.

The House of Arrgh Colony World Infrastructure Tier is close to completion and we will soon be onto our first T5 upgrade.

Whilst the House of Arrgh & McVittie's Marauders, have overtaken other older fleets in terms of fleet levels, if there was a race between the two as to which would complete all 85 levels first, The House of Arrgh would be winning it.

The upgrade when it comes, will require of the fleet:

20,400 Fleet Marks
1,071,000 Refined dilithium
192 Engineering or Operations Duty Officers
21,250,000 Energy Credits
459,000 [Colony Ore Provisions]

This is a lot and will take time, but what would help immensely would be if everyone now chips in. These last eight upgrades will be the last best opportunities for fleet members to obtain large amounts of fleet credits to buy fleet gear with.

It may surprise you but Fleet marks are often the last thing to be completed on projects. These are earned by running TFOs. Running one a day for fleet marks may well suffice. Remember that fleet marks give proportionately the most fleet credits at a ratio of 50FC per fleet mark, so 200FM will get you 10,000FC.

It is appreciated that dilithium tends to be withheld from fleet projects because of wanting it for Zen. You can however gain 40,000 dilithium from a successful Klingon Tour of Duty 10 of 10. This dilithium can only be used on fleet projects. So if you are not running Klingon Admiralty assignments, please start. Even if you don't get and use it this time around, other opportunities will soon come along - and that's 40,000FC right there as well.

The colony ore provisions should largely take care of itself and don't worry about the duty officers, as your fleet Admirals have the fleet credits to obtain these from the Starbase.

So fleet marks and dilithium are essentially what we will need.
