STO Second Anniversary
We are rapidly approaching Star Trek Online's second anniversary on February 2nd, 2012. To celebrate this moment in Star Trek history, we have four days of fun lined up for you. The event will run from around 10 AM PST on Thursday, February 2nd, through around the same time on Monday, February 6th.
As with many STO events, Q will be the master of ceremonies. Log in each day and seek out Q at Earth Spacedock or Qo’noS, and he’ll have something unusual to do. Q is easily bored and really enjoys watching humanoids do silly things. Complete his task, and he’ll have a fun prize for you! Log in all four days to collect all the prizes. What are they? You’ll have to find out for yourselves by joining in the event.
Q isn’t the only one celebrating, however. Starfleet Command is commissioning the new Odyssey class cruiser starship that weekend. Players level 5 and above should report to Engineer Kani (in front of Admiral Quinn’s office on Earth Spacedock) for a mission to take one of the new Odyssey class ships on a shakedown cruise. Complete the mission to receive an Odyssey class ship of your very own.
When the Klingon Defense Force intelligence service alerted the High Council with Starfleet's activities, they decided to launch their newest ship, the Bortas (Vengeance) class starship the same day. KDF officers level 21 and above should report to Engineer Tum’Era (in front of the Great Hall on Qo’noS) for a similar shakedown mission. Those who complete the mission will earn a Bortas class ship of their own to command.
These two ships will be free to everyone during the event, regardless of level or rank. The ships require you be level 50 to fly them in combat, so characters of lower level will find an item in their inventory that they cannot use until they reach level 50. After the event, these two ships will no longer be obtainable for a while. We have not finalized details yet on when they will return, but we will announce the details once we have them.
The specifications on these starships are classified at this time, but if you watch this communication channel over the next couple of days, we’ll give you a sneak peek of these incredible ships.
Starships and prizes are just part of the celebration. The real joy comes from seeing so many people enjoying the universe Roddenberry created, and sharing in the experience online. I look forward to seeing you all in the Star Trek universe for the celebration!

I will be stepping down as Fleet Training Officer as soon as a replacement can be found and trained up.
The duties of the FTO include ensuring new recruits that are approved to the fleet via the website, receive an in-game fleet invitation as quickly as possible and report this status at the monthly staff meeting.
Also, as F2P is now live, the requirement of a knowledgeable training officer is paramount; someone that knows the game inside and out and will graciously lend their time and expertise to the new and upcoming captains within the fleet.
Additionally, the FTO is a Fleet Duty Officer position and carries the rank of Fleet Captain. Therefore, all applicants will be vetted and Fleet Admiral Fortin will make the final decision.
Anyone may apply for this job. There are no rank requirements or time-within-fleet requirements for this position.
If you have any questions, please contact me (Jason32) or the Chief of Staff (Borannus) or you may respond to this thread.
by Borannus, 3 days agoIn the past two weeks, we've had 15 people apply to and be accepted into the 7th Fleet. That is pretty amazing, in my book.
What isn't so amazing, though, is I haven't seen much of a peep from any of you new 7th Fleeters. While our requirements are relatively lax, we do have a few that I want to make sure you're aware of.
1) Log in to STO at least once per calendar month.
2) Log on to the forums at least once per calendar month
3) Participate in one (1) Major Fleet activity*
4) Participate in two (2) Minor Fleet activities**
* = Major Fleet activities are those that occur on Friday and Saturday nights, twice per month (usually); attendance on one of the two nights is sufficient
** = Minor Fleet activities are focus events held on different nights of the week, e.g.: Kick A Tribble night is on Tuesday nights, and encourages folks to team up with their KDF characters; we have Elite Monday nights for folks to team up and run Elite STFs
Our Fleet, and therefore,
Your Fleet, is only alive as all of us make it. We also highly encourage joining us on our Ventrilo (aka "Vent") server if you can. While far from mandatory, we have found that those that are on Vent frequently tend to be the ones that stick around and get more involved. We'll reach out our hands in friendship, but you have to be willing to reach back.

Admiral Fortin and myself have come to the conclusion that it would be best for us to all stay on a single ventrilo server. Use of the current Fleet ventrilo will be suspended very shortly; all Fleet operations will move to the following ventrilo server:
http://squadron7.guildlaunch.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=27072330&gid=197725&gid=197725#27072330
The choice of which of the two servers we kept open was dictated by Mr. Fortin's and my billing schedules for the individual servers and is not meant to show favor to one title or the other. We will be sharing the cost of the server and as such, the admin rights will shared between Admiral Fortin, myself, and Sindarial (my fiance and second in command of the Squadron side of the house). We will also be upgrading the server size very soon.
All of the existing STO channels have been transferred as is and members are encouraged to begin utilizing the new ventrilo asap.
