That's a badass poster! I wish this wasn't still six months away.

What does it mean by "detonated the fleet?" All of the starships in orbit of Earth were bombed? I thought Nero already destroyed them all over Vulcan. I wonder if the Big Bad would be Garth of Izar, didn't he have powers or something? I kinda feel that poster is ripping off of the Dark Knight Rises a wee bit.

But I'm still quite excited :cheer:

So it sounds like we have 100% support for either TS or Mumble from people who have already had cross-platform experience.

I loved Zander_Hawk's suggestion to put a testing team together. Do we have a champion on the leadership team that'd be willing to lead this? I'm pretty convinced that it'll be a significant improvement to the fleet, and may help to reignite interest in our voice communications.

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

Alternatively, skype could be used in a pinch I suppose. Though I'd guess getting everyone together in a conference call would be too much of a hassle.

Our linkshell used to use Skype conference calls for events. The only advantage to it was that we could control who was on the call, but: the bandwidth was sometimes awful, to the point that twitch abilities were gambling; the host's computer limited the number of people on the call (some people could host four people, some could host a dozen); and if the host had to put the call on hold, everyone was put on hold. It was a massive p.i.t.a.

Agreed, fantastic programme you've all put together!

Just one minor item I was wondering about:

3:00 PM Ground PvP (Klingons) - Private PvP Queue

Are our fed brothers and sisters really that afraid to meet us face to face? :P

What an ambitious and terrific set of events! I'm hoping that I'll be able to make it to the weekend! I'm looking forward to so many of the events... Some great, unique ideas here!

Awesome job by the morale department crew!

Yep, no matter how many times I see it its still awesome!!

I was reading through their concept setting and character's. It's almost exactly like CoX but the names have been changed. I hope to see something come of it that'd be awesome.

The group I raid with in WOW uses Mumble for chat. Actually, that's the chat program the entire guild uses. We also have vent if we group with any non-guild members. We really like it and the voice component is very clear. I like it much better than vent but I've never looked into the technical side, just know it works well. :)

Winrar is the extraction tool I use. I haven't used anything else for years.

Happy Holidays Stonewall Fleet,

It is my great honor and privileged to present to you a secret project the Fleet Morale Department has been working on.

As most of you know, Stonewall Fleet has an annual pride celebration during the month of June each year. The Admirals and Fleet Captains take great joy in putting on such a large and structured weekend full of events for the fleet. It is in that spirit this new event was built from.

I am pleased to announce that the first annual Stonewall Fleet White Winter Whirl Event will begin on Friday December 14th at 8:00 Pm EST, and Conclude on Sunday December 16th at 10:00 PM EST.

Please go to the Winter Event Page to get more details on the fun we have in store for you!

I along with the rest of Stonewall Fleet leadership look forward to spending some great quality holiday times with all of you.

I'd probably end up in Death Star Technical Support serving The Man, although BOY would I relate with these guys:

That would require growing up though, so it's perhaps a moot question.

Bought CoX a long time ago, but never got around to trying it. :blush:

Updated OP with shortened link.

I imagine myself as the down on his luck software/hardware engineer that looks out his apartment window towards the jedi temple and envys their life lol.

The Cynical Brit that is TotalBiscuit interviews Star Citizen creator Chris Roberts.

Recently I've become a little bit of a fan boy of TotalBiscuit so this is like a dream come true for me. :)

One question for you ferengi out there, I learned that you can find out where to buy commodities very cheaply by checking their info tab, which will tell you where they're produced.

Has anyone checked to see whether those 'place of origin' prices are equivalent or cheaper to freighter prices?

The commodity prices on the Freighters are the lowest available in-game, which match the 'place of origin' prices.

STOwiki has a page on Commodities.
