    OK, I will propose something and please indicate if you agree or have an alternative.

    1. West Coast US
    2. PvP Server
    3. Whomever gets access first (as stated by their invite email when it comes) chooses the server. That person then posts it here for all to see and I in-turn will distribute it through STO, email, etc as quickly as I can.

    We should choose a server with LOW population to give us all a chance to join it as we don’t know if they will be locking the servers once they are full. We should also wait a little while once we have access to see which servers are filling up and at what rate.

    Also this if of lesser importance, but the first Guild we are planning is Empire (Dark Side) so if you start leveling an Imperial Toon first that will suit those plans, however if not, that’s cool as our Republic Guild will obviously be also on the same server.

    I agree Flash that on the face of it the West Coast US servers would be the best to play on.

    Having said that, the Beta testing I did on East Coast Servers also had a pretty good connection.

    I think that as soon as we get our proper invites, the first to get connected should choose a server with low population and publish it here and then we can join the same server.

    Also, for those of us in Australia / Asia I believe West Coast US servers provide the least lag.

    -I.D.I.C- Fleet Mail 20 8-DEC-11

    Hi All,

    1. Season 5 Update

    As most are aware the season 5 update has hit Hollodeck and there have been several changes. Many of the senior staff were involved in the tribble testing and if anyone has a question please contact us.

    2. Fleet PvP Tournament

    The tournament has been a bit hard to resolve of late. I recognise that there are things going on with many of the finalists and they have other things on their minds which I completely understand. there is alot going on in real life for people at this time of year as well, so therefore I am cancelling the tournament, and will re-schedule a new one for early next year.

    This will give us time to properly re-spec to the new system as well and make for a fairer competition. I will be awarding 1 item to each finalist from the rewards tabs, please contact me for your prize.

    3. Recruiting

    Activity in the fleet is at a low, I’m positive this will pick up when the f2p goes live. Many inactive members will return and we we’ll have the opportunity to recruit new members from those coming into the game as those players cannot form fleets and will be looking to join.

    When the F2P starts we’in need of a fleet, please ask for an invite.

    4. Fleet Commander Positions

    Our rules stipulate that at the beginning of each season update there will be Fleet Commander elections. However since all of our active VA’s are currently fleet commanders this seems to be unneccessary at this time. Therefore I will keep all the positions as they are until the next update. If any member has an issue with this decision please let me know, it will be kept in confidence.

    5. Guild Alliance/Forum Sign-up

    Pleae sign up to the forums if you have not done so already. http://www.guildalliance.org/forum

    I’m hoping to have all of our Guild websites ready and updated before the TOR launch later this month. I will also be re-vamping the rules for each fleet/Guild and coming up with new rules for the upcoming guilds with the respective leaders.

    6. SW:TOR

    The time has elapsed for registering our guilds for the game launch so we will endeavour to create the guilds as soon as we are in-game. If you are planning to join our guild/s do not create your character until we have established which server we will be playing on. Please start some discussion on the forums about this as there is only 15 days theoretically until early-game access for pre-orders starts and the game begins.

    Best regards.

    So, as for getting most of the “cool” equipment in game (on the FED side this time) you need now dilithium. I’ll describe a few easy ways to make it:

      1. “Investigate Officer Reports (daily)” mission (which means doing 3 foundry mission per day) will give you 1440 dilithium ore per day.

      2. Doing an “Explore the B’Tran cluster (vice-admiral)” while having selected also the “Chart the B’Tran Cluster (vice-admiral)” and “Explore Strange and New Worlds” will give you 2X1440 dilithium, meaning a total of 2880 dilithium for B’Tran missions.

      3. “Aiding the Deferi” will give you 1440 dilithium, ‘Emancipation” – 480 dilithium and “Rescue the deferi captive” – 480 dilithium so a total for the Deferi dailies of: 2400 dilithium.

      4. Also if during the above missions you carefully set assignements for your DOffs you will get an aditional 500 dilithium in average.

      To summarize: 1400+2880+2400+500 = 7180 dilithium per day

      -Besides that you can also find random missions that would also complement you with dilithium perks.
      -Bottom line is that if you want the most expensive piece of equipment available (which costs 22.000 dilithium) you can have it by doing those missions for 3 days in a row 🙂

    So, after all, is not that bad, isn’t it?

    Hugs you all,
    Vice-Admiral Iskara
    Fleet Commander

    Greetings all,

    From my point of view, the choose of the server only have 2 things to be taken into consideration as a decision base:

    1. Will be that server a US or European server? Personally i would go for a US server, as from my experience those are more likely ready to receive more players and will be most probably more lag free. Yet, i would not go for one of the first servers from the server list, as, most probably, those will be the most loaded servers, because most players will just choose the first server they see in their hurry to start playing the game.

    2. The server name: which should be a simple one to be easy for most to spell and remember it :). In the interest of being as much lag free as possible, the server name should also be a common one, one that most players would not be very eager to choose, also in the interest of keeping the game as much lag free as possible.

    Best regards,
    Iskara

    Mission Revamp
    Season 5 also introduces a more streamlined way to play through the game’s episodic content. Captains will utilize the completely redesigned mission journal to find the latest Starfleet or KDF assignments available, including an option to transwarp instantly to the mission’s starting planet. If you are short on Energy Credits, or prefer to take in the surrounding sights of Sector Space, plot a course to the starting planet for a chance to access the revamped patrol missions. Also, the journal now includes a calendar that will lead you to special events that deliver new content and rewards.

    Lore Missions
    Along with the release of the Starfleet and Klingon Academy maps, an entirely new type of non-combat play is being introduced. Participate in daily events surrounding the game’s lore by venturing to these social zones and test your knowledge of the rich history behind The Path to 2409. Completing these will grant new accolades and titles that allow you to show-off your knowledge to your comrades.

    Economy Restructuring
    Many of the old currencies you have come to know have been converted into a single monetary-form known as Dilithium. Whether you are playing through episodic content, participating in Duty Officer assignments, or completing daily missions, earning Dilithium will allow you to purchase upgraded equipment that can help you more easily defeat your foes and bring you the ultimate bragging rights.

    For the first time ever, this update is going to allow players to acquire Cryptic Points without having to spend money. Participate in the Dilithium Exchange program by auctioning off your Dilithium to the highest bidder. Don’t have time to play as much as you would like to earn the Dilithium you’d like? You can now purchase and auction off Cryptic Points to those willing to buy them with this new, uniform currency.

    Season 5: Call to Arms is truly one of the game’s biggest updates ever! For a full recap of what is coming to a starbase near you, please visit Executive Producer Stephen D’Angelo’s Dev Blog series (http://startrekonline.com/f2p_blog).

    In this update, the largest class of Starfleet and Klingon Defense Recruits will be gearing up to join you in the fight against the quadrant’s greatest threats!
    Here’s some of what you can experience in Season 5:

    Duty Officer System
    Since the birth of the Federation and Klingon Defense Force, there have been countless unsung heroes that work in a vessel’s lower decks. No matter which department they are in, these officers have pledged their lives to their ship and fellow crewmates. For the first time ever, as their Captain, you will actively manage their activities as you delegate their assignments aboard and away from your ship. Along your journey, you can collect and trade these officers with fellow Captains to help you build the crew of your dreams.
    While participating in this new form of gameplay is optional, doing so will earn you special rewards, accolades, and even help you to advance your various ranks. As with any assignment, there are inherent risks, but the potential reward may outweigh the danger. Assign your officers wisely and don’t forget to check in with your First Officer for suggestions.

    The Borg Advancement
    For the past several months, Starfleet and the KDF have been confronting the Borg armada as they make their advance on the Alpha Quadrant. Recently, a Borg fleet was able to break through the Defari blockades in the Orellius Sector Block, land a probe on Defera Prime and begin assimilating its inhabitants. It is up to you to beam down and eliminate the threat of total annihilation of this important race.
    Meanwhile, in the Gamma Orionis Sector Block, the Borg have developed new strategies to keep the Federation and KDF at bay. Join a Special Task Force (STF) and attempt to rid the Sibiran, Vorn and Quadra Sigma Systems of imminent danger. Completing these missions will earn you special rewards, complete with new space and ground costume sets that grant special abilities.

    Klingon Gameplay Updates
    Season 5: Call to Arms enhances Klingon gameplay and introduces an improved way to level up your KDF warrior. Not only will your character start out as a Commander (level 21), you will experience a compelling storyline that will allow you to move more easily through the ranks by completing episodic content. It is a glorious day for battle!

    Skills Revamp
    Over the course of Season 5, the way you choose to specialize your captain will be updated. Phase One of these changes, the Space Skills Revamp, is now live and provides a clearer understanding of where to spend your Skill Points and which tree affects which innate and Bridge Officer powers. This update will also allow you to experiment with different ship and weapon types without having to utilize a respec token.

    Game Update 6: The Deadly Double-Cross

    Brainiac has been defeated, and the Fortress of Solitude purged of the diabolical machine’s evil influence. But the cost of victory might prove too much for even Superman.
