I'd love to join the fleet if around but I sadly don't had enough play hours yet.

I love my Promethus (Multi Vector Assualt Mode :wub: ) but I do wish that there was a proper cruiser/dreadnaught that was decent for tactical.

I'd love to slowly turn and give the borg a full broadside. Only Engineers seem to get the best ships (if you want a Cmd bridge officer)

We tried it a few nights ago and there were five of us. It's not entirely clear why it won't let us do it. It might be because one person was under the 20 hours, it might be because none of us are Gold members. We just have to give it a go again and see how we get on.

I'll be on tomorrow night about 10ish or when PCS CS:S ends. No later than 10.30 I'll say. :D

New Feature Episode Today - The 2800

Couldn't the Prophets have got rid of the ships rather than just shunting them 20 years in the future! We're in a worse position to fight them now than we were then! :fp:

First half of the mission was slow and talky (And not about the 2800!) but the second half was fun.

Although given this is at least the 3rd "Battle of DS9" in STO it's starting to lose its impact :)

It was my first battle of DS9. :shifty:

The first half was indeed a bit disappointing, as it was just a typical MMO "Go here! Now go there! Now go over there!" thing. The second half was pretty great as STO goes though, and I like the idea of the weekly episodes.

EDIT: In fact, it's really quite awesome that I get to enjoy a new Star Trek episode once a week again. Sort of. :)

Yeah the "break through the lines" bit was quite good.

Have you seen the description for the last episode in the series?

Fight across the hull of DS9! So that's at least one more Battle of DS9 ;)


The episodes have been rather good so far, and if you love your Star Trek universe/Lore then it's a amazement of great little ongoing stories.

Even if you're not, the Memory Alpha and Memory Beta wikis can quickly bring you up to speed on points of interest, pointing you to relevant episodes of the TV show.

I think it's at least 10, so I'll be able to do it at least.

The 'normal episodes' all have min levels, but scale if you're over them. I hit level 50 when still on level 34 episodes.

The new feature episides increase but the first in quite low (9 IIRC)

If you'd like to join Fleet GRcadia, just friend any one of the original group and we'll let you in.

Original members are Xeno, Cheeky Devlin, Shin/ymaster44, and myself.

If you do, make sure to wear the nice new fleet uniform, and to add the fleet emblem to your ship. :)

Make sure you message me to let me know you want in the fleet though. Otherwise I'll think you just want to be my friend. :)

Excellent, I'll sort out joining later when I get back. What is the fleet uniform? I was quite liking the TNG film uniform...
