Guys,i know this is in the wrong topic area, but i'm asking you to please either not move it, or wait to, seriously, we are getting SO close STO that i feel we need to seriosuly discusss forming a Fleet. I actually..LIKE you guys.i'd be honored to be fighting alongside you in battle, defending the Federation.
May i suggest dj curtis as the leader or darkthunder? i think you guys have great heads on your shoulders.and also, DJ, listen, don't take insult to the sto community who bash your version of the excalibur class to the one in sto..see it as a compliment that your model is recognised...
Guys..seriously..i really respect alll of you..yeah..even you candle..the mere thought of maybe talking ion ventrilo and listening to DJgive the order to "engage" attack pattern alpha..c'mon....
let's DO THIS PEOPLE!!!!!!1
-
Aye ! this is really awesome idea :D tho I'll get trial version first and see if it's worth buying and playing ;)
DJ made the Excalibur ??? why I don't know anything about it :wtf :funny
but still I'm glad you came with such idea, it's awesome ! I can imagine BC modders crew kickin' Romulans backs in one of those monstrous quazi Sovereigns :D
-
dj made the " bridge commander "excalibur..the sto version is like a retro constitution.. :funny
-
If we're talking about forming a fleet in Star Trek Online, and STO will be within my budget... :
Where do I sign up?
(And how about the chain of command?)
-
well that's why i made this post.i am experienced as hell at leading/coleading guilds,but the thing gthat makes sto different is,i honestly do not care who is technically i charge.my champions online toon is DAYSTAR PRIME and i co lead" Halll of heroes", i also rcuited for pirates of burning sea and warhammer,and others. but i am not saying i want to lead it.I will step up if no one else will...but i am asking fora official BC type guild..guys..people talk about jus..we /'ARE recognized in the trek community,we already have weight..i wan the proper founders of this site respectfully to have the first dibs and honor of leading us..i will do,my part as best i can.
-
If i'll join the fleet I'll most likely pick role of science officer for away missions ;) hence dr_mccoy :P or I can always be red shirt :funny
-
I am not sure if I will be able to afford STO. I will half to see. And if I can, May I join in? I know there is a Galaxy Class in there somewhere in there :D

Trust me. Having a clan / Fleet requires a fleet commander... I don't mean a guy who says "Tonight we all meet to fight the other clan", no I mean the guy who co-ordinates battles, and actions...
For instance: We come up agains a small fleet consisting of a Bird of Prey, 4 Vor'cha's and 1 Neg'var, and we have 1 Saber, 2 Akiras, 1 Excalibur and One Prommie.
Ususally peoples instinct is to take out the weakest ship first so everyone in the fleet go for the Bird of Prey... In the meantime the Vor'chas and the Neg'var can out flank the rest.
Now had there been a commander, he would probably have ordered the Saber to go for the BoP, The Akiras to go for the Neg'Var and the Prommie to keep the Vor'chas busy.
This stuff makes the diffrence between the winning and the loosing team... IMO
-
in which case i would personally advise any escorts to break into wings and flank right and left to soften any supporting reserve vessels, the science ship-s to try and determine if any cloaked rerserves are in the area, whiulemy6 flagship- and the rest head in and see what the enemy6 throw at us. we regroup and focus fireon any6 battleships firsy6t and ignore/shrug off the little bops,anb we have the flanking escoprts take out any6 support ships that may6 buff the enemy units.
if we get outgunned, we strategically withdraw with as many enemy casualties as we can make.
-
One thing I hate:
From the STO FAQ:
Q: Will a monthly fee be required to play?
A: We haven't decided on pricing plans yet.
COME ON... TELL US...

You mean "Run in panic, shooting anything that dosen't use our colors"?

aghhrrr I wish I know the price ATM so I would know what are the chances I'll get it
-
why yes !!! my way sounded nicer
-
if there will be a scoring point of some kind or ratings then I guess it will be important if we get our ships destroyed, so then retreat is less evil to choose from, at least we keep our ships in one piece lol
then again I have never played MMO so I have no idea what it will be :P
-
watch this.,...
-
i ami in now, the midst of discussions with the guys who do stoked...they know DJ and the community..stay tuned i will represent us as best i can but amny of u seniors who want serious recognition.,,..this is an oppurtunity.,..
-

in all honesty, where a thread is located doesnt necessarily mean it will get more or less attention than if it were in another place... and it is better suited for the Games forum... also, the General Discussion forum is kept to 1 page only, so if a thread is made there and would really be more applicable elsewhere, thats really where it should go...
-
O-tay jimmy :P
-
OMG thoose guys are boring... Feels like a Talk-Show where the two guys are the only talkers.
-
uh yeah... talkshows are like that lol *didn't seem boring to me lol*
-
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.
-
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
-
I can already see it... 35 - 100 Ships in a single fleet attacking a 7 man clan :funny
-
That would be sweet. i can imagine 100 sovereigns attacking a few rommies
-
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 :)
-
not to sound like the traitor, but i plan no soverigns i love that new sto excalibur ships desighn and consider it a beautiful piece of art, ill be upgrading that battle cruiser vs a bigger ship :D
-
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.
-
makes me wish I had the comp to myself :P but you know someone's gonna show up with a PFleet sovvie and start throwing fukov light balls at everybody XD
all the same type would be, quite frankly, boring!
-
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.

this podcast of stoked talks about the sub costs and open beta tutorials

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.

Hmmm...... Katana North......... :evil

Ahh, memories! Too bad its not like we hoped it was going to be like back then. Still having fun with STO though.
