You can check STO acronyms by Stonegold, but it is 6 months old so new ones are not included.
SS – Surgical Strike (Intel)
CRF – Cannons: Rapid Fire
CSV1 – Cannon: Scatter Volley 1
IT3 – Intelligence Team 3 (Intel)
OSS3 – Override Subsytem Safeties 3 (Intel)
TT1 – Tactical Team 1
APB2 – Attack Pattern Beta 2
A2B – Auxillary to BatteryHas anyone sent a message to Lat or Intrepid so they can modify the Rules on our webpage to include these changes and correction to rank names?
This is how it currently looks:
Fleet Gear
– Before being able to purchase any fleet ships or gear, members must have a minimum of 50,000 fleet credits earned on the leaderboard, AND must be a member for at least 1 month. Access to fleet vendors will be granted when these two requirements are met.
Promotions/Ranks
Promotions are not difficult to earn, and are based mostly on time within the fleet. Minimum requirements are that you either log into the game, or post on these forums during the current review period. For first promotion to Lieutenant, there is also a minimum leaderboard contribution requirement of 50,000 fleet credits. And any disciplinary action given during the review period may delay a promotion until the next review period. Each review period lasts between 4-5 weeks.
Ensign – New players will be given this rank. Bank access is restricted to deposits only. If you need something from the bank, don’t hesitate to ask. We’re not stingy when it comes to handing out stuff from the bank.
Lieutenant – Players of this rank will be allowed to withdraw up to 1 item from the bank per day. If you need more, please don’t hestitate to ask.
Lieutenant Commander – Players of this rank will be allowed to withdraw up to 3 items from the bank per day. If you need more, please ask.
Commander – This is the highest non-command rank. No bank access restrictions. However, fleet command reserves the right to demote you if you abuse this.
Captain – These are Squad Leaders/Officers of the fleet and part of the command staff. Usually given to hand picked members within the fleet who command feels has leadership qualities.
Vice Admiral – Heads of divisions, and are essentially fleet leaders in day to day operations.
Admiral – Fleet Leader. Oversees the entire fleet.
It could be changed into this:
Fleet Gear
– Before being able to purchase any fleet ships or gear, you are required to be a member for at least 2 weeks. Access to fleet vendors will be granted when this requirement is met.
Promotions/Ranks
Promotions are not difficult to earn, and are based on time within the fleet. Minimum requirements are that you either log into the game, or post on these forums during the current review period. Any disciplinary action given during the review period may delay a promotion until the next review period. First review period lasts 2 weeks, after which you are promoted to Lieutenant. Following review periods, related to ranks of Commander and Captain will last for 4 weeks.
Ensign- New players will be given this rank. Bank access is restricted to deposits only. If you need something from the bank, don’t hesitate to ask. We’re not stingy when it comes to handing out stuff from the bank.
Lieutenant – Players of this rank will be allowed to withdraw up to 1 item from the bank per day. If you need more, please don’t hestitate to ask.
Commander – Players of this rank will be allowed to withdraw up to 3 items from the bank per day. If you need more, please ask.
Captain – This is the highest non-command rank. No bank access restrictions. However, fleet command reserves the right to demote you if you abuse this.
Commodore – These are Squad Leaders/Officers of the fleet and part of the command staff. Usually given to hand picked members within the fleet who command feels has leadership qualities.
Vice Admiral – Heads of divisions, and are essentially fleet leaders in day to day operations.
Admiral – Fleet Leader. Oversees the entire fleet.
Some rank descriptions could also be changed, for example that Ensigns will be member of Delta Fleet. Or some things better explained if needed.
Nice to meet you Stormeagle : )
Here is free gear guide which can help before you advance in all Reputations or get enough Fleet Credits.

Looking for an ACTIVE RP/PvE fleet.
Welcome to the fleet. Visit the Holodeck section of our forum, you will find RP story we are creating so jump in anytime and anyway you want.
I mentioned it because they can still earn FC in main 44th so there isn’t need to swap back to Delta.
Looks great Marcase, I like that it address new players.
This part caught my eye: “That does mean that once promoted to LT new members will have to be moved to the 44th Main fleet to buy fleet items and then will have to swap back to 44th Delta Fleet to earn fleet credits.”
I would remove the have to part since it gives impression they need to remain at Delta and switch back from main fleet if they decide to go there. There is still possibility to get FC at main fleet too.
I will try to think of something but it seams you have added everything. : )
No worries for the wait, RL first. This was really interesting and I like how you connected the stories. It was really exciting, hope I’ll write my part asap.
Removing the 50k rule is a good idea as fleet has evolved since the time those rules were made. We would nourish the casual prefix we have and show we are even more open for new players. Blackout made good arguments. Purpose of donations to fleet project should be so they can get the currency needed for fleet gear. Since we don’t need those donations (t5 fleet), it shouldn’t be a requirement.
I would also remove the multi-fleeting rule since there are 2 members I know of that were already allowed to join while having their alts in different fleet.
Edit: About 4week rule, we could lower it to 2-3 weeks? Not much active members these days so wouldn’t mind if change like this would attract more people to play with.
Thanks Blackout, that will help. I never had EPTE in my builds. Will think about it until next ship sale.
Update: Seams like they released official trailer for Renegades on April 7th. I noticed some alien in that clip I can’t recognize, anyone knows what species that is?
There are some folks out there!

From May 1st Tribble patch notes:
• Resolved an issue that was causing all assignments with durations between 12 hours and 15.9 hours to scale their rewards more aggressively than intended. The Skillpoint, Expertise and CXP bonuses from these Assignments will be reduced accordingly.
This means no more crits shown in the posts above. It will cut my leveling progress a lot so my alts will stay behind. To tell the truth, it clearly was unbalanced compared to other ways of getting XP but that doesn’t mean having it insufficiently available is the right way. I always thought this is feature for “alt” faction as a way of getting it attractive, same way they had a lot of ways to get Contraband. Of course, I may be overreacting as I haven’t seen the numbers from Tribble.

Personally I like “Delta Fleet”. But, I’m new to the fleet so correct me if I’m wrong, if the fleet is primarily for new members it could be called “44th Academy Fleet” or “Training Fleet.” Something along those lines.
Welcome to the fleet. : )
Delta is also for our alts so that is the reason why we decided not to have Academy in start.
