Hi and welcome!
I sent you an invite and then did a social search to see if you were online and if I should stick around to welcome you to the fleet and set you up with our custom chat channel (instructions above). When I did so, I found you on a different character (that you didn’t mention), and in another fleet.
So, I’ll direct you to our rules (which you agreed to), where we state:
https://i.imgur.com/frlaiil.pngYou’ll have the two-week trial period to check us out and see if you want to come “all in” to 44th Fleet. If so, we’re happy to have you! If not, we wish you well.
That being said, if this post doesn’t warrant me a kick from the fleet, see you in the memes channel and STO.Why would we be mad enough at you to kick you for poking at Discord themselves? I’d say you’re safe heh.
However, if you’re going to change the betaroom rules to make it more mainstream, won’t moderating it become even harder?We’re not really changing the rules to make it more mainstream, per se…but more to comply with Discord’s own rules. At least, if we keep the room. Further, since those rules exist, and have to be followed unless we want to possibly lose our chat server, and we already have a memes room and an off-topic channel, does betarad have a reason to exist any more? Or, with the new rules, does it’s audience overlap too heavily with the existing channels already mentioned to the point where there’s just no reason for it to exist? Would getting rid of betarad work if we allowed slightly more edginess (but still within discord’s rules) in memes to compensate for the new lack of a place specifically for it? Idk, just wondering where the line is to make it work.

1) Must have either logged into the game or posted on our 44th forum at least once during the review period of 2 weeks (which starts today);

Winter Enviro Coat – Frost, burnham’s ev suit gloves. starfleet duelist shoulderpads and cape, winter snow pants, wintercoat black belt, breen 2 boots, and some slick dyson shades (ain’t no snow blindness going on here). 2012 holiday scarf and knit hat. oh, and some arm flowers…for a nice splash of color.
I feel I should mention that the DPRM is great, but also super expensive for Feds.
A Hull Image Refractor, while not nearly as good for it’s clicky ability, has a better passive (in that it doesn’t just work for DEW damage, but also all other types) and is much much more attainable for most players, as it’s only around 10m ec on the exchange.
And, if you happen to get a DPRM but are lobi poor, it could be used in lieu of one of those consoles in the interim.
Another substitute for the lobi consoles would be a Temporal Disentanglement Suite (Mission: Butterfly, Iconian War arc)
heh.
am i the only one that sees parallels between
“It went well until Australia caught on fire..”
and
“Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked”
If you want to apply to the 44th, just click the “Join” button in the bar up top. You should be able to put in a quick application on that page.
Within the 44th? We have members from all over the world, including the UK. We basically operate as one big fleet. All new members go to 44th Epsilon Fleet at the moment. After a member has been with us 6 weeks, we allow them to choose which of our fleets they want to be in. A Commander (the rank a member gets after 6 weeks) can have 2 characters in 44th Fleet, 3 in 44th Delta Fleet, and an unlimited number (within reason, and space allowing) in 44th Gamma Fleet and 44th Epsilon Fleet. 44th Fleet and 44th Delta Fleet have fully upgraded fleet holdings, while 44th Gamma Fleet isn’t far away and 44th Epsilon Fleet is only a few months old.
We don’t have separate fleets for UK members and American members and Croatian members and Russian members and etc. etc. etc. We’re all one big, (hopefully) happy family.
In STO overall? I mean, I’m biased towards the 44th. I don’t know of any fleets that’re specifically UK-centric, but then I also haven’t looked, as I’m not in the UK.
torp build has some benefits that should be mentioned.
1. you don’t need weapon power. torps don’t scale damage based on it and don’t consume it to fire like an energy weapon does. go ahead and crank that subsystem down.
2. no range drop-off, so no need for long-range targeting skills.
3. with no weapon power needs, you can keep your aux power high for science shenanigans (and the first rep trait i listed improves with high aux power)
4. in this build, your cloak is up while you’re in combat, so your shield subsystem is offline anyway. go ahead and put it into engines and aux. your stealth is your tank, not your shields.
Hi Joey!
We’re happy to hear from you about your interest in joining our fleet!
There is one issue we have, though.
This is from our fleet rules (which you acknowledged at the end of the application). In particular, the last point.
If you want to enroll all of your characters with us, we’d be happy to have you join! We are still active (all characters in all 5 of our fleets have been logged in within the past year (with a couple exceptions for good reasons), and there are usually a fair number of folks on and talking). We do have two Fed and one KDF fleets with fully upgraded holdings (with a third fed fleet getting very close to colony and starbase tier 5). And all members LT ranked and up have full fleet store access, so even if you’re not in one of our fully upgraded fleets, we’ll make sure you have access to the fleet stuff you want to buy.
As stated elsewhere in the rules, all new members do have a two week “trial period” at Ensign rank (with no access to fleet stores). If you’re still interested but not sold on going all in with us, we can offer that two weeks to be a part of the 44th and see if you want to become a full member.
For that reason, I’m going to accept your application here, which will prompt our standard application acceptance/welcome post, and I’ll send you an invite to our kdf fleet ingame, and if you choose to join our discord server, you’ll be given fleet member access for those two weeks. If by the end of those two weeks, you decide you want to join us fully, then great! As said before, we’d be happy to have you as a full fleet member. If you decide you’re not sold on the 44th, then we’re sad to see you go but wholeheartedly wish you the best in your future STO/life endeavors.
Welcome Brian!
I got invites sent off to all of your characters except Edgoutou@bmed. For him, I’m told he’s already in a fleet. You’ll have to leave whatever fleet he’s in (or decline if you’ve gotten an invite from a fleet you haven’t yet seen) before he can be invited. Please do so and let us know here, in our discord, or in our custom ingame chat channel (instructions for joining are above in the welcome post) when he can be invited.
Welcome, Nate!
You’ll have to leave your current fleet (or decline if another fleet sent you an invite you haven’t seen yet) before we can invite you.
Please contact us either here, in our discord server, or in our ingame chat channel (instructions to join the chat channel are in the welcome post above) to let us know when you’re ready for a fleet invite.
