Speaking of the wiki, I've got a couple more weeks of relatively free time and some ideas to put together. Can I get an interest check on the following ideas so I can plan accordingly?

- Starship Trait Guide
- Build guides for the Presidio and Arbiter
- "Tanking" "guide" for the space rich
- Good cheap build guide for the space 99%

Here is your guide: to tank poo poo you do intel primary, strategist secondary. Fit the traits Attack Pattern Delta Prime and Improved Feedback Pulse. Fit some version of FBP on whatever ship you're doing this with. Turn on threatening stance.

Bam, you're done.

Assuming you're not doing pubbie-level damage you will steal all the aggro forever and get giant amounts of crith and critd and smite everything. Assuming you can survive having all the NPCs focused on you, which in most maps you shouldn't have trouble with.

This works best on something big and beefy so use a cruiser.

Heh. I totally forgot about doing an introductory thread. Last time I was on SA was back when Planetside 1 came out and played with the goons here but unfortunately I have no clue what my username was or the email I used back then. If that's the requirement for the fleet invite then I can do that.

Worth noting you can currently spend 13000 Zen and get a good levelling ship for every tier up to 50, four great non-fleet endgame ships and three amazing fleet level endgame ships, all of which feature the fairly excellent Temporal mechanic.

I'd also recommend the Delta pack. The 4 Fed ships it comes with are great, 2/3 of the boffs are great

Yep, you need to go to GBS and make your intro thread and then you should be good to go.

You need to post your introduction/application in the GBS forum.

- MMO Resume including any guilds you've been in in other games, as well as approximate start/stop times for the games.

- Experience / skills in video games

- What you can contribute to the team

- Why you want to join

- What you like most about Star Trek Online

- What you like least about Star Trek Online

Once you've completed the application post and submitted it to the GBS forum
(http://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=1)

Come back here and post a link to the thread in this thread.

After 3 days comment period from goons in the GBS your application will be considered complete.

You know, when "crazy" rumors start spreading that a certain "notorious" fleet gets special favors from the devs, the right thing to do is say "of course not". Instead, ours does this:

Why is our community manager trying to stir things up with the community? I mean, this fleet tells blatant lies about getting free gifts and things like that, so why does she encourage this drama?

Why is it only bad when forum members "troll", but its completely fine for a community manager to do it?

I'd happily drop more than a few hundred bucks on the Lobis to get the ship, like I did with the Krenim Science Vessel and the Rezreth, but I can't. They won't take my money.
