- in reply to: S7 – Tribble Server: Season 7 Tribble Test Weekend #1751

And to not have a computer on your birthday is very boringin reply to: S7 – Tribble Server: Season 7 Tribble Test Weekend #1750Inside the Embassy.
in reply to: S7 – Tribble Server: Season 7 Tribble Test Weekend #1749Quite a Large Zone. This is the Staging Area.
in reply to: STO IDIC UFP, FLEET SUMMIT – Time Scheduling #1844Greetings everyone,
It is a great idea to have this meeting, and the weekend for it is also well chosen, as until then there might be some additional info about the evolution of the games we’re playing to be able to come with a better solution.
Also, I guess we could start talking in here, until then, about the pro’s and con’s of each game we’re involved. As many said also many times, what we actually don’t want to lose is our bond, the fact that we get along well with each other and also that we cooperate well game-wise. Yet, personally, I feel that the game we’re mainly playing (STO) is at a crossroad, and maybe we should consider what are our expectations about it. And I say this being a lifetimer … got my subscription less then 6 months ago.
Anyway, if we all agree we could talk about how each of us feels about it in here, before teh meeting, so that we would know better how the others feels and we would be able to come with a solution easier. The main purpose being that we don’t want to lose our group (at least I don’t). In all my gaming experience, I never found such a fine peoples as you all others are.
As for my times for that weekend, in GMT timezones, those are:
FRI: from 10 pm GMT – for 4-5 hours
SAT: from 8 am GMT for 6 hours and then from 10 pm GMT for another 4-5 hours
SUN: from 9 am GMT for about 6 hours and then from 10 pm GMT for another 4-5 hours
MON: from 10 pm GMT for about 4-5 hours
As for the stepping down issue, that would not help much, I guess, but for what is worth, I am also ready to step down from any position, if that is considered an issue. But in my opinion, the issue is not the fleet/guild structure, but is the game itself, and I guess that it is teh time to admit it … For me it was a great game (it still is as game mechanic) but with the lack of new content it became obsolete. And the Starbase/Embassy things that appeared lately, only transformed it into an endless series of same missions to do over and over again, without much fun left. Personally I stopped doing any starbase mission when I realised that I do them like Pavlov Dog … Psichologicaly, they did this way of game development for the game to be more accessable for a large number of peoples (remeber how hard were the STFs before F2P and how easy they became now; yet, again, to get the drops you’re after you have to do them again countless of times, unless very lucky).
Best regards,
Karain reply to: STO IDIC UFP, FLEET SUMMIT – Time Scheduling #1843Thanks Luna, but I think that we need a big re-think on the fleet.
As you can imagine it’s not easy for me to say that I am willing to give up the fleet leadership, but If I’m going to be/or have been any kind of leader here then the possibility that someone else can do a better job is something I have to accept.
Also I think by being prepared to do this myself others may decide to step up or step down in ranks in order to get a more realistic leadership and commitment. I’m not the kind of person that likes hearing comments like, ‘where is this person?’ or ‘why is this person in that position when they are not here?’ etc. There’s been a bit of that lately and I’m not a person that likes too much drama.
On a seperate but related note, one major dynamic that has changed in the fleet is the Starbase. If a fleet in general were to break up in the past then the only asset would be the fleet bank. Things have gotten to the point in STO where ANYONE could earn the things I have in the bank for themselves. So in effect the asset of the bank has been taken away from the fleet, its no longer a place where rare treasure can be won or earned.
The value therefore has become the Starbase. If the person on-top so wishes they can kick everyone and they still retain the base. There is an asset that cannot be won in a mission or earned by one person at a fast rate. So the value now is our Starbase and upcoming Embassy.
The problem of late I think is that these projects take up so much time and resources that players don’t have time for anything else and have become bored with gathering materials. The more pressing problem is that this will be the reality of things for a while in the game, so its just going to get worse for fleets.
in reply to: Recruiting Project: "Operation Dead or Alive" #1759Thanks Nei, I know that the timezone your in is not standard for most of the fleet. Thanks for hanging in there and working so hard for our fleets.
Im hoping to compile a chart in GMT times of approximate member play-times. Hopefully that will be handy for people, also for new members to decide whether they want to join if they’re in a timezone without many players in the fleet.
in reply to: Recruiting Project: "Operation Dead or Alive" #1760Usualy when I play there’s noone online. I’ll make sure to msg you when I see you Cat.
btw my playtime is afternoon everyday, around 4pm in UTC+1
in reply to: STO IDIC UFP, FLEET SUMMIT – Time Scheduling #1842GEEZ! Not you too! This is your fleet Plasma if you toss up your crown in the air everyone will tromple over you to try to take it! Don’t let someone toss you out the window Plasma, your such a sweet guy and this is your fleet and your vision. Don’t let a bunch of boogers ruin it for you. My brother had a fleet before and a vision to make something cool, but no one would cooperate or listen so he stepped down and everyone wanted to be incharge and that destroyed the fleet. Well thats not going to happen to a fleet im in!!! I liked the idea my brother posted of recruting new members to replace the ones who left. In case im not able to make the summit, thats my two cents.
in reply to: IDIC Fleet members #1767Oh heck no! You get your furry little @$$ back here cat! Your not going to run off too, just when we need you the most!! An important lession you taught me about hard times, “Never let them harden you, stay as loose as a cushion, because you never know when you have to catch someone falling.” If others have run off let them go, they cant offer what you can, I havent ever seen you yet turn your back on anyone when help was needed.
in reply to: IDIC Fleet members #1766I’m tired of having to explain and prove that I have good intentions to people and towards the fleet. I have just posted regarding a major fleet meeting. If the membership decides on a new leader and thinks that is the way to go, then I will go.

I think that guilds/fleets seem to have a short life span especially on STO. This fleet has had more life than most and I’m proud of that as a gamer and community leader of sorts.
in reply to: IDIC Fleet members #1765I don’t know what your talking about whatsoever. I posted this from my work computer, there is once computer in my area that I share, I can access web pages from here etc. I think I must have missed something.
in reply to: IDIC Fleet members #1764No, I dont think they will respond to anything now, nor will they listen to me any longer. Even Plasma is not talking to me….
If none of them come on again tonight, I will get the hint and I think it best I just leave. There is always champs :/
in reply to: IDIC Fleet members #1763I agree, taking a survey of what those who are online think should happen is the way to go before we make any changes.
in reply to: Recruiting Project: "Operation Dead or Alive" #1758I’ll be starting recruiting as well. I don’t think many in the fleet are reading these forums. I’ll send out a fleet mail regarding recruitment as well in the coming days.
in reply to: **ANNOUNCEMENT** -I.D.I.C- Tactical Training #1418Amen to that!!
Totally agree with you Luna. Thanks for your contributions, It does get people down and very frustrated when we have many of our active & regular people willing and keen to get involved in this fleet. I always enjoy teaming and having fun when I play the game. Sadly it doesn’t happen as much these days. I am keen to help people etc. I just hope we can awaken the others here, I’m certainly in for that!
