The latest mission is prime example (and what the power of UGC) of how flexible and good mission creation can be with the right amoutn of effort.

Its clear were the story arc is going but shows that STO can deliver user missions of the same quality as another over Online game.

Completely agree. The best mission in the game yet. I especially liked the objectives tied to your class. Next week is the time travelling mission I assume? It has a lot to live up to, but has a lot of potential. This series has been great so far (and I really enjoyed the Breen arc too) - it would seem Cryptic finally have their act together. Shame the game wasn't closer to this at release as a lot more people would have stuck around. It is a shame a lot of people won't go back to it now to experience all of these changes.

Anyone needing a referral key or invite to the OcUK fleet?

me on both counts

Email me in trust (link below this post) for a key. Once you are setup post your captain and account name here and we can get you added to the fleet. Feel free to ask any questions here

should i get the digital deluxe version or the standard?

Unless you can get the deluxe for the same price or cheaper, don't bother. The bonus items that come with the deluxe version quickly become obsolete. Plus, if you join our fleet we have stacks of items in the fleet bank for members use anyway. I have certainly found the bank useful when levelling alt characters.

Newest episode was great, really well written. Already looking forward to time travelling later this week

How often do new episode arcs come out?

The season 1 and 2 arcs were back to back if I remember correctly. Haven't seen any news on season 3, but there is a lot more coming than just episodes, so they may be working on all of that.

CaptainRAVE · 1 Nov 2010 at 12:29

Apparently there are 1-2 new dailies coming to Eta Eridani next week too

I'd like to join you guys and see how active things are before I decide to buy, I don't know if it works on a trial account?
If not, I'll probably give in and buy it anyway, I realise I can't even type in zone so I guess I can't join a fleet as trial.

Apparently I was wrong

Does anyone want to use TS3 whilst playing STO?

I have a spare PC with TS3 server software installed on it, and I'm on a 20Mb connection so it can handle about a dozen users (maybe more dunno).

I would be up for that. Would help with teaming, especially when we are all on during the weekends.

Do you know how to get XII items e.g. increasing the difficulty? I have only ever had one XII item drop.

To get Mark XI, the foes should be +2 to you, I believe Mark XII's should be +4, which will normally only be 'boss' or capital ships. I get a fair few of mine from Fleet Actions. Even white Mk XII's go for a pretty song on the exchange, especially consoles.

I'll put the TS3 details in the fleet MOTD.

Actually, come to think of it. I think I got my XII from one of the Breen capital ships. Put it up on the exchange for 2 mil - I can hope

I'll be logging back onto sto after wed once I have my presentation and assignments out the way. Anyone up for those 5 player missions?

Would like to do a 5 man raid with the fleet. Most of us have an admiral character now, so shouldnt be too difficult to arrange one weekend. Perhaps make it a weekly thing on a Sunday (seem to be most on Saturday/Sunday afternoon)?

CaptainRAVE · 2 Nov 2010 at 21:20

Great thing is with the new fleet controls, we can make an event. I will look at creating one over the next few days - unless Anon-e-mouse beats me to it

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2010 at 08:07

How about 3pm Saturday (and Sunday?) afternoon for a raid? Would that suit people here? Is there a preferred time? If so I will add it to the fleet event.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2010 at 08:40

Leviathon said:
Just bought the game, downloading now...

Would you mind if I joined up?

Should be on by this afternoon

All are welcome

Will need your Captainname@accountname (as it appears in the chat window).

Silent-Lucidity said:
Sunday better for me, unless its earlier or later Saturday.

Sunday would be better for me too. May make an event for both Saturday and Sunday depending on the response.

u can also send out a msg to all fleet members via sto of upcoming events, ready for when they log on

Forgot about this! Will get it setup when I get home later today.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2010 at 10:44

I have organised a fleet meet for Saturday and Sunday at 2pm (recurring for the remainder of the month since there are so many of us here now). Please RSVP in-game so we can get an idea of numbers (will need 5 for the raids) - if we have more than 5 we could always split up into two groups. I have set the requirements as Admiral, since you will need to be rank 43 (correct?) to do infection or Terradome. Also keep in mind they can take quite a while, hence setting the meet for 2 hours. If people want to stick around we can do dailies/help lower ranked members also. Look forward to seeing you there (if these times are unsuitable for anyone I can create an additional event).

Do we have access to a teamspeak like server for this?

Um I'm getting "Connecting to server" but nothing else when running the .exe - it then times out, down for maintenance? I've tried removing my firewall etc.

Tried connecting through a proxy via the launcher?

Will invite you shortly.

Anon-e-mouse said:
Damn you want me to get up early on a Saturday?

If you read the fleet message, the details for my server are in there.. I don't get home until 8pm though, so although I'm logged in, I'm "away".

Yup, just saw it

Edit: It isn't letting me invite at the moment. Will try again later.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2010 at 21:01

Not a bad day - finally achieved Envoy and First Contact Missions. Plus am now on 700K of latinum...getting close to 1 mil

CaptainRAVE · 4 Nov 2010 at 09:52

krisab said:
Ok, stupid question but how do i RSVP? the button is greyed out for me

We discovered last night that it is because I have set the minimum rank requirement to 43. I did this since a lot of people wanted to raid and this is the rank required. So get levelling

CaptainRAVE · 4 Nov 2010 at 11:03

krisab said:
lol ok, maybe i maybe that near the end of the month

I am sure some of us will stick around and team with you after the raid anyway

Are servers down at the mo?

Yup, down for the weekly patch. I was annoyed for a minute. Then I forgot that it is actually a good thing. Patching stopped on Champions Online and we all thought it was a good thing. What we didnt notice was the new content stopped along with it...
