I think if you guys want to set up a chain of command, I'd recommend talking to some of the fleets that already exist, such as 9th, Lotus, Aurora and many others.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

If i can afford the game i will get it
I totally agree, we should have the whole community as one fleet and modify our sovereigns to look like the "real" excalibur class

For clarity's sake...
The BC Excalibur was NOT made by DJ, but by LC Amaral, the granddaddy of BC ship modding - he's heading up the Star Trek: Excalibur project.  Though their work is similar, they are two separate and distinct individuals.\

And I'd be interested, but I wouldn't be able to play until the summer.  The residential high school I live at filters games so you can't play over the internet.  (LAN is possible, but I don't see how that will work with STO.)

Have you tried to use a seperate DNS server? Sometimes that helps :)

I'd agree. I wouldn't want to be a Sovereign, maybe a Luna (or Prometheus or Cheyenne) variant. ;)

I'm sure the Sovereign they showed isn't the only possibility.  Chances are the Sovereign looks like the Sov we all know.

Thats not my reason for not wanting a Sovereign. The vids have shown normal Sovereigns. If eveyone is a Sovereign it just gets boring if you have a Sovereign as well.

I'll probably be getting the game.  I might be interested in joining up.

And no, I didn't build the Excal, that was indeed LC. :)

I might join up but this might be the kick in the pants I need to join up with 9th Fleet. We did a lot of romping in BC multiplayer back in the day.

I will forever be flying the Excelsified Excalibur regardless :).

ST: Online is actually a fun game. I'm a little tempted to purchase the game depending on the subscription cost.

ST: Online is actually a fun game. I'm a little tempted to purchase the game depending on the subscription cost.

If it's like most MMO games, it's probably around 15 USD per month, with an initial 40-50 USD to buy the game. Most MMO:s are subscription based, I expect STO to be no different in that regard.

And I wholeheartedly agree with you. Been trying it out on my friends account (lucky git got into the beta). And it is indeed enjoyable. Most fun is when you group up with other captains. I might be interested in joining up in this fleet. I'll try out the game during Open Beta as much as I can, and make my decision on buying it or not.

I am deffently in with the clan. My wife is buying me it for our wedding annaversery on the 14th of Febuary.

I can't wate to play it. And for choosing a commander of the fleet, lets say in a week or so, once we have more members, lets all write down 1 question or a combat senaro, we'll pick a date so there all in, and find some one like a moderator who can take the questions and make a test, or a pole. Then any one who wants to be commander answers the qusetions and the one with the hights score wins, and the runner up in second in command and so on.
