New Features[ | ]

Dilithium Mine Fleet Holding[ | ]

  • The fleet system has been expanded and players have access to a new Dilithium Mine holding.
    • Fleet Members can contribute to fleet projects to earn XP for their Dilithium Mine and unlock new tiers, just like with the Embassy Holding.
    • Can be compared to Embassy for time to progress.
    • The Fleet Dilithium Mine consists of a space map and an interior map with two parts. It is located in the Beta Ursae Sector Block.
      • Completing Tiers in the Dilithium Mine's main track will cause the space map's visuals to upgrade to the next tier.
      • The Interior ground map is unlocked at Dilithium Mine tier 1.
      • Players gain access to the exterior ground map once the Dilithium Mine reaches tier 2.
    • Like the Embassy, the Dilithium Mine has three tracks:
      • Dilithium Mine (main track)
        • This track gains XP and progresses by completing tiers from the two sub-tracks below.
      • Development (sub-track)
        • The Development sub-track gains XP by completing repeatable fleet projects. Once enough XP has been earned you will be given an Upgrade special project to unlock the next Development tier. Completing this Upgrade project will grant XP for the Dilithium Mine main track.
      • Trade (sub-track)
        • The Trade sub-track gains XP by completing repeatable fleet projects. Once enough XP has been earned you will be given an Upgrade special project to unlock the next Trade tier. Completing this Upgrade project will grant XP for the Dilithium Mine main track.
    • Provisioning
      • There is a single provisioning type for each sub-track (Trade and Development) as opposed to several types found in the Starbase and Embassy holdings. These Provisions are earned by completing fleet projects. Below are items that can be purchased with the two types of Provisioning:
        • Trade Personal Requisition Provisioning
          • (Ultra Rare) Advanced Engineering Armor Consoles Mk X to Mk XII
          • (Ultra Rare) Advanced Engineering RCS Consoles Mk X to Mk XII

          • (Ultra Rare) Elite Fleet Singularity Warp Cores Mk XII
    • Fleet Rewards
      • Unlock perks for all fleet members by increasing tiers in your fleet's main Dilithium Mine, Development and Trade tracks:
        • Dilithium Mine (Main Track): Below are some examples of the rewards unlocked by gaining Tiers in the Dilithium Mine track
