Thanks for having me! I've been a member for just over a week, but hadn't registered on here until tonight. (Never thought to check my spam filter for the E-Mail confirmation...) Doh! Anywhoo, I'm a returning player that had stopped playing months ago, after my small fleet had stopped logging in.

Account Name: Scottahara

Character Names: Tiggobittys (I've had that name or some spelling of it for every primary character since I joined Everquest in the late 90's)

Your Current Rank: Lieutenant

Time Zone: Central US

How did you get into Star Trek Online? I grew up with Star Trek TNG, and have loved every series. A guild-mate of mine from Everquest, Asheron's Call, Guild Wars, EQ 2, and DC Universe told me he was going to join STO so I followed right behind. He's no longer playing, but I missed STO and wanted to play again undefined

How long have you been playing for? About 2 years, very casually, with about a 9 month break until I picked it back up last week.

What would be your best piece of advice to a new STO player? ASK FOR HELP. This game can be confusing! Everyone was a noob once and there are plenty of people out there who are willing to help. YES, there might be a jerk or two, just remember "ignore player" is but a right-click away undefined The learning curve of this game keeps most of those type out anyway undefined

What’s your favourite career type (Engineering, Science or Tactical)? So far the only type I have much experience with is tactical.

What’s your favourite ship? I'm currently running a fleet tactical escort retrofit (defiant) and it seems to work just fine. I haven't gotten a T5 Upgrade for it yet. Not really sure what my next move is gonna be.

What’s your best and worst STO moment?
BEST moment is that moment when it finally "clicked" in my head how the Bridge Officer Training system worked. I had been staring blankly at the screen for a few days. ( I didn't ask for help!!)
WORST moment was that first time I barely defeated an enemy ship and raised my hands in victory and laughter, only to die in his warp core explosion, because I didn't know about that at the time. It STILL continues to be my downfall

What are some of your other interests? I'm a high-school band director, so of course I like music. Classical, Jazz, Rock, Etc. I like camping, riding motorcycles, and I'm a Netflix addict.

What’s your favourite band? An oldy but goody - Tower of Power

Anything else you want to say? I'm a male playing a female character, because I always figured...if I'm going to be staring at a character's backside most of the time, lets let it be a female! But man, it's weird being hit on so much in mmorpgs! I suppose my name doesn't help that situation...
I'm pretty quiet until I get to know you, so don't think I'm being rude if I seem quiet in chat!
I've sort-of figured out how to play STO on my own, and there are going to be MANY things about my build/tactics/whatever that make NO sense at all. PLEASE don't hesitate to offer advice on what I can do to be a better player. Once again, thanks for having me!

I'm just another person that's a part of the fleet. Fed character is Punisher, my KDF is Nathaniel. So, er, how are you all?

Hi guys,

its me "Hitomi Spock von Vulcan".
Im on our fleet since like 5-6 weeks, started the game at all 2 month ago and I love it undefined

Im living in Germany, working in an office, I´m male and 30 years all. Loving Star Trek my whole life thus I´m pretty happy with this game.

Also love to be a member of the Strike Group!!! Greetings to all!

You may reach me ingame Sniperonxtc

Thanks for the invite, I am Michael Bailey and you will find me under that name while putting around the galaxy. I have been playing STO off and on for about 2 years but now I took the plunge and got the life membership so I am committed to the core lol. I am a big fan of TOS so that will tell you my age right off the bat lol. However I love the rest as well. I have 3 ships the Intrepidation the Shadowtiger and The Paramount which I am working out the bugs as we speak. But I am in the U.S. Central Time Zone. But I hope to see you out there.

How did you get into Star Trek Online?
I've read somewhere that start trek online went F2P, well in fact I didn't knew that there was a mmo treek based, and tried it.

How long have you been playing for?
I registered myself in the game just when the F2P was launched, and played a while, but since I was playing also other MMO and the work took me much time of the day, I left playing gradually until last autumm.

What would be your best piece of advice to a new STO player?
Explore, read the quest texts and give the foundry a try.

What’s your favourite career type (Engineering, Science or Tactical)?
In space I don't have preferences, in ground combat, engineer.

What’s your favourite ship?
I have no preferences yet.

What’s your best and worst STO moment?
Best:
When you leave the Earth shipyard in the revamped tutorial. I remembered then all the scenes in series and movies when the Enterprise leaves Earth to meet the space.

Worst:
Rubberbanding and server lag when you are surrounded by a lot of enemies.

What are some of your other interests?
A bit of everything, but mainly computer or digital electronics related.

What’s your favourite band?
Baron Rojo (Red Baron), an Spaniard 80's heavy metal band.

Character Names: Serim Ruak (I didn't get how names worked when I joined, so my character seems to have the odd quirk of always using his first and last name.)

Your Current Rank: Lvl 60/FA

Time Zone: EST -5

How did you get into Star Trek Online? Always liked Star Trek (TNG & DS9 were my childhood), but never really liked MMORPGs. Finally tried it and had fun with it, so I stayed.

How long have you been playing for? About 4 months, give or take.

What would be your best piece of advice to a new STO player? Start refining as much dilithium as you can as early as possible. It may take you 30 levels to find a use for it, but trust me, you'll be grateful for all you saved up when you do.

What’s your favourite career type (Engineering, Science or Tactical)? I've played Tactical and Engineering, and I've enjoyed Tactical the most.

What’s your favourite ship? That's tough. I like my Heavy Escort Carrier, but really, any of the escorts are a joy to fly.

What’s your best and worst STO moment? Best: Finally learning how to use your shipt most effectively (any ship). Seriously, that moment when you finally figure out how to use the ship you just acquired is awesome. Worst: Being instakilled by two simultaneous isometric charges. Going from mission start to waiting on the respawn timer is a little depressing...

What are some of your other interests? Reading, history, lots of things. Lots of things

What’s your favourite band? Big fan of Deolinda (it's a Portuguese band). Also classical, especially classical minimalist stuff like Arvo Part and Steve Reich.

Anything else you want to say? Glad to join you all! I've mostly played solo, but it's nice to be part of an active fleet.

Hi, I'm Elis in game in KDF fleet, but people usually call me Sandy (my main in pretty much every other game.. but here it seems)

I also have Wrench as my secondary, and Sandy who is a Fuderation that I'll be leveling alongside a friend someday lol.

I uh.. like rabbits and I'm waiting forever for STO to put in rabbit ears.. which they never will ;-;, and I love carriers and Tholian ships in particular.

Nice to meet you all lol.

Engineer, if I was a character in the Star Trek universe that what Id end up being

Worst moments are bascially when we get bugs that cryptic shouldev fixed ages ago best moments are playing team matches and missions with friends.

Modding games, coding, 3d modeling, Music, Movies/TV

Just joined this fleet and thought I would reg on the forums and say hi to you all, I've been in fleets before but they became basically in active and I prefer to be in an active fleet with people to chat to and team up with for missions etc. if your ever wanting someone to help you with things like that message me in the game.
