Marcase is one of those European members i mentioned :D. He’s Dutch.

[BreakingForce]

negative. we have no limit on the number of alts we’ll accept :D. the one limit we do have is this: once you hit commander (after 6 weeks with us), we limit members to having 2 characters in 44th Fleet, and 3 in 44th Delta Fleet. because those are our more populous and well-developed fleets (shiny stuff in the fleet stores, etc.), and STO limits fleets to having 500 members. we’re very close to that limit in both of those fleets pretty much constantly. 44th Gamma Fleet (where you’ll be for your first 6 weeks with us) is much newer, and is less developed, but has much more room. so we’ll take all your alts (within reason. not like..25 alts heh).

all that is, of course, assuming you’re on Fed. if you’re KDF, 44th Assault Squadron will take all of your alts (again, within reason :D).

[BreakingForce]

consider fleet credits a currency. they’re yours and will still be yours regardless of what fleet you got them from or what fleet you’re currently in, until you spend them on something.

i should also mention that we do have a fair number of European members, so if that’s the hangup, chances are that you wouldn’t be lonely.

also: we never have mandatory anything, really. play when you want, and if someone’s around who you want to fly with, do so or not. it’s up to you, and it’s all cool one way or the other.

All this chasing ec and dilithium shouldn’t however overshadow the fact that this is still a game to be enjoyed, and not farmed to death. I know of quite a few players who do nothing more than play the exchange. You can make millions of ec in game, but if you dont spend it then what’s the point

also very very true. if you don’t have the time to put into farming stuff (or just would rather do other stuff in the game instead), and also don’t have the $ to throw at the game in return for shinies, that’s

FINE.

a well-built t5u ship (or even an ok-built t6 ship, since i know you already have at least one), is acceptable for clearing 95% of the content a player will encounter (unless you’re trying to push for dps records or the like). you might die a bit more often in advanced tfo’s, but that’s

FINE.

we’re happy to help with many things (if we’re around, anyhow). tfo’s. episode missions. advice. pretty much whatever. let us know what you need, and chances are that it’ll happen. most of us vets aren’t still playing sto because the game is the best thing ever. we play because we like the people who also play the game. we want everyone to get better. the best way to get better is to learn. the best way to learn is to ask. we’re happy to answer (most of the time).:)

Well, to be honest if I could go back to day one. I would play just Klingons or KDF Aligned, LoL sorry Star Fleet – I just cannot get into it. Not sure why I made a Romulan/Alien (a video if I remember right) and aligned him with Star Fleet, but I hardly play him anymore.

As far as type, I am not sure there I am still learning, I do enjoy the faster ships like Raiders (used to play a lot of Red Baron), and the Vanguard D. Cruiser is fun BUT it “feels” so slow, but that Ouroborous looks fun so thanks for posting that, I was just looking for ideas.

I know it is my choice, LoL and I know next week I will find some other ship that catches my eye.

it’s cool. nobody’s perfect. the kdf fleet needs folks in it as well :D.

you might consider checking out battlecruisers.

when i say “battlecruisers”, i mean ships that are comparitively small, maneuverable cruisers. they typically have a 5 fore/3 aft weapon layout. the specific one i’d point you at first (if you’re maining klingon) is the Kurak Battlecruiser.

even if you don’t really like the play for that particular ship, if you do most of your damage with energy weapons like i do, the starship trait you can unlock from it is amazing. very nice to have for anyone who shoots lazers at things. practically a must-have for anyone who runs a drake build. (not gonna inflate the post with a full description, but am happy to tell you all about it either ingame, in another post, or in discord). Emergency Weapon Cycle

[BreakingForce]

Yes, heck I think there should be a way to earn Loot boxes Keys for free, will it happen?

for the record, you totally can. they’re available on the exchange for ec, which is earned ingame for free (well, not really. it costs your time…but no monies).

my biggest ec income is from a daily run of Tour the Galaxy. it’s a mission that has you visit (read as: bump into on the sector map) a bunch of systems, and for every system you hit, you get like 25000 ec. if you complete it all within the time limit, it’s like 900k ec. per character you run it on, per day.

you can also level up your r&d skills, and craft stuff to sell on the exchange for ec. finding what sells well can sometimes be a challenge (i still have like 2 characters at their exchange limit (40 sales posted) with all vr particle generator consoles)…but there are certainly things which sell well. upgrades, for example: i’ve never had an issue selling out of tech upgrades.

further, as a 44th fleet member, you can refine 8500 dilithium ore per character per day. 8000 from clicking the button in the assets tab of your inventory, and a further 500 with a 10s doff assignment at the fleet dilithium mine. that adds up rather faster than you might expect. then, you can convert your refined dilithium to zen…which you can use on the c-store as you see fit; whether you want to buy t6 ships from there, or buy lockbox keys with which to unlock your lockboxes…depending on what ship(s) you want and where they’re from.

the big challenge here is keeping your characters with a big enough stash of dilithium ore that you can sustain the refining. you can earn dilithium ore from running random tfo’s (random tfo’s drop a reward box in addition to your normal tfo rewards that gives you 500-2500 dil ore and 50-250 reputation marks depending on what rarity level of reward box you get. advanced tfo’s give 700-3500 dil ore and 70-350 rep marks again depending on what rarity level of reward box). you can earn dil ore fairly well through the admiralty system (each admiralty faction gives a big daily “tour of duty” mission, numbered 1-10. if you progress through the klingon and ferengi faction tracks, the 10th tour of duty mission for both of those gives 30000 dil ore on completion. so if you can keep at that, that’s 60000 dil ore every 10 days.) also, there’s a daily mission at the fleet research lab that gives you 1000+ dil ore and like 6000 r&d experience for whichever r&d skill you want. it takes some green materials, but only takes 10s of time to complete. also, reputation marks and elite reputation marks can be turned in to their respective reputations for packages of dil ore. 50 regular marks gets you 500 dil ore. 3 elite marks gives you 1000 dil ore. (elite marks are those items (which go into your main inventory) that completing an advanced tfo gives you. for example: the gamma task force reputation’s elite mark is the germanium carapace fragment, and they’re earned (well, there are a few ways to get them, but i’ma just tell you this one. more info upon request :D) by completing the Swarm tfo, which is tied to that rep.)

yeah, i understand that this all takes gametime you might not have available. that’s fine. just putting it out there that you can, in fact, get lockbox keys (and therefore lockbox ships (rarely, it must be said), and lobi ships) with no monetary investment in the game.

[BreakingForce]

evidently damix got the right ‘ and got an invite sent out for gamma fleet 🙂

[BreakingForce]

so i copypasted your stated character name into a fleet invite, and it gives me a “error inviting to fleet: player not found”. which leads me to a couple questions.
1. is it spelled correctly?
2. what faction is it? (i tried on both our fed invite fleet (gamma) and on our kdf fleet, so *shrug*)
3. i hesitate to ask this, but do you play on PC or console? because we’re PC only. we have no presence on console sto.
4. if you’re jem’hadar or romulan, are you past the tutorial levels? i believe it’s level 10 for both races. players in the tutorial phase can’t be invited to fleets yet. if this is the case, hop into our custom chat channel (directions both above and below), feel free to say hi and chat, and let us know when you’re past the tutorial levels and we’ll be happy to get you taken care of at that point.

so there are a few ways we can rectify this. first, you can reply here and one of us will get you set up and taken care of. second, i sent you a friend invite (well, i sent @zarashima#4811 a friend invite, anyway). you can accept it, and i’ll get you set up and taken care of soon as i can (when i’m on i can send an invite, if you’re also on, we can talk and get you into our custom chat channel and the like). third, you can join our custom chat channel (as the above post: type “/channel_join 44th-diplo” into your chat box. since we’re actually 4 fleets spread over both factions, we do all our ingame talking there instead of fleet or armada chats) and speak with us there and one of us can get you taken care of that way. whichever way we do it, welcome and good hunting o7 🙂
