Hello James from BC Here!

[jamesg89]

Hi everyone, I just started playing Star Trek Online last week and love it! I am a lieutenant commander 12 right now and my playing time varies quite a bit but I suspect I will make a decent amount of time for the game for the next while at least.

I am interested in fleeting up and I am looking for a good community not overwhelmingly large although not too small either - I want some people to play with! Out of curiosity how many people actively play in the fleet? Do you raid or pvp or do things together or more or less talk and join pick up groups together?

Also if I come on board I don't mind hosting a website and forum sans advertising I have a lot of space on my own hosting for that.

Thanks and feel free to message me online!
I am not sure how the handles work is it login name followed by character? If so I am jamesg89@Goodwin

Hi James,

We are a pretty casual fleet. We do chat a lot in our combined in-game chat channel for our FED/KDF fleets. People log in at various times but we are busiest evenings and on weekends (North American Timezones) when more members have free time to play. We do have a couple European Members but mostly Canadian & American.

We do a lot of ad-hoc informal events like STFs, feature episodes, helping people level up, and PvEs. If there is something you are looking to do or if you want some help, just ask in the chat channel and I'm sure you'd find someone to team with.

We host our own Ventrilo server for voice chatting while doing team events (especially STFs which require more coordination).

When the game server comes back on line, I'll look for you online. BTW, you're handle is your CharacterName@AccountName so I'm guessing that means your Goodwin@jamesg89

[Rickster]

Hi James, I sent you an in-game message. Your are jamesg89@Goodwin (but jamesg89 is your character name and Goodwin is your account name).

Feel free to add me as a friend or let me know if you would like a fleet invite. In-game I'm [e-mail]

Welcome to the fleet!

Given that you're in BC, I'm gonna guess that I'll be seeing you, as I tend to play a bit later than most (around midnight Central)

Feel free to hit me up for training, or any other assistance you may require!

in-game I'm (whatever)@theoriginalboodah

[Fleet Admiral]

Yes, Welcome to the fleet. You can add me as well @defiantphoenix, I'm in and out at all times during the day lol so I'm not sure how much I'll see ya but Rickster and I are the fleet leaders and Boodah is on the council so feel free to ask anything you like and we'll do our best to help ya.

[jamesg89]

Awesome! Sounds like I have joined a great fleet. Look forward to getting to know you all a bit better and as I said I can host some kind of forum on my site without ads and all that and a website too. If you want to set it up let me know, although it would still have a long name as it would be off of my domain. Here is a little example www.canadian-federation.northvancouverliving.com/forum/

[Fleet Admiral]

We (the council) will discuss it and get back to you, it does look pretty good, but we've had some problems getting people to sign up here so it might cause issues to get people to sign up there. But as I said we'll get back to you on that

[jamesg89]

Yeah I can see how that would be an issue, it's really easy to install it on my site so I thought I would offer - just let me know!

[Fleet Admiral]

Will do, we appreciate the offer and as soon as we decide we'll let ya know

[Fleet Admiral]

We're going to say no as we feel it would be too much hassle to get people to switch to a new site. Thanks again for the offer though

[gantoo]

Welcome to the fleet

Being in BC myself I am sure we'll be talking a lot.
look forward to seeing you out there

[Rickster]

Thanks so much for offering...

We only just switched from our old website to this new one in December 2011. Personally, i think it's to soon consider switching again.

Let's give this new site some time see how F2P plans out...
