That would be my first choice, but my understanding is Dental is on lockdown based on the OP.
At this point, I think you should be put in the academy as punishment for being unable to read. The fleet isn't on lockdown, the chat channel is. Meaning that you can't join the channel until you're invited. You get invited by posting your charname@handle in this thread. Like it says in the OP.

So: Post your charname@handle. Once someone says that you're invited, type /channel_join TheNextGooneration in the chat window. Then ask in chat for a fleet invite. If no one responds it's because no one is playing, not because you're being ignored.

The Star Trek Online wiki is running a month long competition (ends on February 15) where you can win a Delta Rising Operations Pack and some T6 ships. You enter the competition by just making an account and start editing, and they pick their winner after the end date based on your contributions.

If anyone wants to enter, then there are a number of things lacking.

First of all this:

I mean, we're both canon and been a central part in the development of the soft and hard aspects of the game, and the wiki should clearly recognize this.

Secondly, why is there no Spergs section in this thing. What are they doing?

Third, there are a bunch of data you can copy paste from other sources, like what mods you get from upgrading different items or updated walkthroughs for missions and stfs that can be immensely useful, but lacking from the wiki.

Roleplaying in STO, currently, is probably in the best state it has ever been in since I started playing in 2012. As a staunch defender of the RP community, I can say that more RP has been contained in several "safe spaces" where immersion-breaking and the general community cannot harm it.
With the Open Starbase projects, much of the RP is contained in such safe spaces as SB381 or a bridge. There are pockets of RP in Risa, on DS9, of course, but with any luck (and a whole lot of effort) we can push these outliers into the containment zones so ALL RP can be conducted without ANY IMMERSION BREAKING interruptions whatsoever.

Pubby with sense of humor -3 votes posted:

I like the mental picture of roleplay containment zones. The high walls, the barbed wire fences, patrolling armed guards, the occasional tank rumbling through the dusty wasteland outside, perhaps an occasional flyover of some sort of military aircraft... and then inside the walls there's this huge open yard with neatly spaced tables, each piled high with dice, scribbled-on papers, broken pencils, soda cans and junk food containers.
Joke's on him, there's no way any STO ERPer would allow dice to dictate what happens to their Mary Sue.

Yep, I looked at the post more than once trying to figure out of that was referring to the chat channel or Dental in general. So, I did put a little thought into it at first.

But yes, I deserve the poo poo for being dumb.

Being really late to the party, I am trying to decide of the lifetime sub would still be a good idea? I just did 90 days for gold, but hell 1 years sub is half the lifetime already. I hear they have sales on the Lifetime sub also. Any advice on getting the LTS?

There was a wedding a couple of days before this one.

One of the DJs (Street) were asking in local about advice for a wedding outfit a couple of days ago on Risa. I'm not sure if it was for the one visited by our honorable members of NoP or if there's another one that they forgot to send out invites to.

I did a search on his handle but only found a complaint about their hypocritical and narcissistic behavior in one of the DPS channels, and a twitter handle which had only been used to like a picture of some exposed breasts.


EDIT: Ok, false alarm. From going through his post history it's clear that he someone that seeks out and feeds off conflicts, even if it doesn't involve him.

No idea; I've probably run into the guy in-game since he was in the Storyteller (lol) fleet, but I don't recall him in particular. I pointed out that it's bad form to continue petty reddit bickering on MLK day, so hopefully he'll get swept up in the spirit of the holiday. Probably not, but you can't win them all.
