I cannot emphasize this enough though, that there is ZERO difference in whichever fleet your character(s) are placed, and this includes Fed and/or KDF. This has no influence on your rank or priviliges; we just need to spread them around due to roster space.
Yeah. In an ideal world where STO fleets had unlimited roster size, we’d have only two fleets. One Fed, and one KDF. However, in this world, roster sizes are limited to 500 characters each. So to give everyone’s characters a home and to be able to continue to accept new members, we need to constantly expand. As now.
If it’s a Federation fleet, keep going with the Greek letters. I don’t know why Alpha and Beta were skipped.
Initially, 44th fleets were named after the STO expansions they were commissioned for. 44th Delta came into existence at the time of the Delta Rising expansion (and the addition of the Delta quadrant). 44th Gamma, when Victory Is Life happened (and added the Gamma quadrant).
Epsilon, we had a naming suggestion and voting period, just like we are for (the fleet currently named) Discord fleet, and 44th Epsilon Fleet won.
Hi! We need both your character names and your @handle to invite.
For example, my main character’s name is Asano, and my @handle is BreakingForce. so it shows up as Asano@BreakingForce ingame.
there are also two current giveaways for klingon personnel packs. they both appear to still have keys, too. one’s at https://www.mmogames.com/giveaways/star-trek-online-house-united-giveaway/#giveaway-key-387267 , and the other is at https://games.crucial.com/promotions/1436048024/star-trek-online-klingon-personnel-pack-giveaway
wait, nvm. just checked the other two (alienware arena and steelseries), and they both seem to be out of keys. so i guess currently only the intel one might have keys left :X
that’s the Intel Gaming Access Mat’ha raptor giveaway with an extra step 🙂
It’s been posted in our discord’s news room channel along with 2 others of the same (that you can claim all of (you only get one of the raptors unlocked, but you do get 3x of the inventory slots and etc.)) also posted in there.
Repeated attempts to invite Gates and Starlion returned error messages, but the rest went successfully as far as I can tell.
is the kdf your only character? I ask because we don’t allow multi-fleeting. We’d also be happy to give all your other characters homes if not.
just fill out an application.

Why join the Mighty 44th?
Tell us about yourself:
Do you accept the rules and regulations?i use an orbweaver, myself. same basic idea, but with mechanical switches instead of mecha-membrane (or optical switches on the pro version of the tartarus).
if you have it set up with wasd mapped to the thumbstick directions, you could try opening up notepad (or word, or whatever) and moving it around to see if it’s still working and inputting the expected keypresses. that would at least help narrow down if the problem is with the gamepad itself or with sto.
if it’s not inputting wasd as expected in notepad, then something is wrong with the device (or synapse. also wouldn’t be a huge surprise). if it is, look to your sto keybinds.
also make sure you’re still set to use the synapse bind setup profile that you usually do for sto. sometimes i load into a game and forget to swap to the correct profile heh.
as for razer themselves, my orbweaver and naga trinity are both probably 4-6 years old, and still work just fine (mostly). and i had a razer blackwidow keyboard that lasted probably 8-10 years until i managed to brick it just a couple months ago (no fault of the board…i managed to restart my pc while it was attempting a firmware update. totally my bad heh). so with a dataset of one, my experience with razer has been pretty good thus far.
Hey there and welcome back!
current character limits are 2 in 44th Fleet, 3 in 44th Delta, 3 in 44th Gamma, 3 in 44th Assault Squad, and unlimited (within reason and space allowing) in both 44th Epsilon and 44th Honor Guard.
Up to you where you home all your alts within those restrictions. Just poke an Admiral or Commodore and we should be able to get you resettled however you want whenever you’re around.
I tend to put less well-developed characters of mine in more well-developed fleets, because I want them to have access to a nice Research Lab to level their r&d, and eventually fleet gear. And my better-equipped characters tend to not need that so much (because they already have what they need) and so can go in newer fleets. The exception is my main, which I keep in 44th Fleet.
That said, 44th, 44th Delta, and 44th Assault Squad all have maxed holdings. All 44th Gamma needs to have maxed holdings is one final tier of Starbase development. And 44th Epsilon and Honor Guard are both less than a year old, but are improving rapidly.
Welcome to the 44th! I hope you enjoy your time with us.
One thing I’ll mention, though, on the chance that you haven’t heard it yet.
PvP in modern STO is less than an afterthought. I guess you could consider Competitive Wargames PvP of a sort, but that’d be stretching it a bit. And, of course, Exchange PvP (who can make ec the fastest?!). Beyond those, all PvP in modern STO is privately organized matches, gives no rewards (beyond whatever the player organizing the pvp might offer), and isn’t really balanced for (as far as I can tell).
At launch, the game had (iirc) non-consensual PvP, but you had to fly KDF to initiate it. KDF were the PvP faction. They didn’t have missions and I don’t think they could really run tfo’s or any other content. But those days are gone. Mostly for the good, but not so much for those who WANT PvP.
To your intention to get higher tier ships for PvP, while you can get fleet t5 and t6 ships from us (once you hit Lt, after two weeks in the fleet), and those ships do have an additional console slot over their baseline counterparts, they also don’t have the unlockable starship traits or universal consoles their baseline counterparts would give you access to. With one exception. The Dranuur Scout Ship, which doesn’t exist as a non-fleet ship, and so comes with both.
If you do stick around, we can help you get a better grasp on the game’s mechanics, help with builds, etc. Which will help if you can find any PvP to participate in. And you’ll get access to fleet gear and ships (again, when you hit Lt)
You have to leave your current fleet for us to be able to invite you.
Fleet window, roster tab. Bottom right should be a “leave fleet” button.
Hello Jon!
Thanks for applying to The Mighty 44th. You will receive your in-game invite next time you log in.

This is used to communicate with our 44th Fleet, 44th Delta Fleet, 44th Gamma Fleet, 44th Epsilon Fleet, as well as our KDF fleets; 44th Assault Squadron and 44th Honour Guard – we don’t use the in-game fleet channel. We are six fleets acting as one.

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);
2) Must be in good standing with the fleet.The fleet rank of Commander is earned after you’ve been with us for 6 weeks. Upon earning this rank, up to two of your characters can be transferred into 44th Fleet or 44th Assault Squadron, and up to three can be put into 44th Delta Fleet or 44th Gamma Fleet at your discretion. Our promotion schedule is hosted publicly at our Trello Board.
