Yay Congrats Brandon! You totally deserve it you work your Sa'Hut off.

I tried to read your 'guides to etiquette' and it told me I was not authorized to view that article...

Does that mean that I'm already so awesome the server knows I cannot possibly learn more?

Episode 206 - The Next Generation - "Redemption: Part 1" - 06/17/1991

Worf leaves the Enterprise to fight on behalf of Gowron in a Klingon civil war.

Enjoy!

Since we launched, the Welcome Center has gotten more and more complex, with lots more articles with cryptically named menu items. To cut down on the confusion, I've restructured it to look a lot more like a knowledge base.

Instead of the landing page being my Welcome to the Fleet address, it's now an index of all the Articles in the Welcome Center. Each of the articles are separated into three categories; Guides & Tutorials, Operational Information and Intro to STO. Listed underneath are the articles in each category. Clicking on the names will, of course, take you to the article. Clicking on the Category title will take you to a page listing all the articles in that category including a short intro. Navigation is no longer handled by a menu on the left, instead you can move back and forth using the breadcrumbs above the articles. This frees up screen space and allows and easier reading experience.

Go take a look if you haven't already. (The new landing page already has over 370 views.) Let me know below what you think of it, if you see any issues or bugs that need to be fixed.

Thanks!!

PS: We've also added in a few new Articles; Guide to Etiquette on Vent and Guide to Etiquette in Teaming

I would like XO. If this is possible.

This is the one I use for Vent and for the Priority One podcast

Very good quality (I think) for a surprisingly low price! Very easy to use, even has its own mute button as well as volume buttons. Also it is very robust! I have dropped it, stood on it, stuffed it in a case to American and back (over 8000 miles in all) and this has yet to show any signs of wear or loss of sound quality.

The headphones are very comfortable, even over long durations. The only problem I have with it, is that the cable tangles very easily and some of the plastic has worn away on the cables, leaving a small section bare, but nothing some tape cant fix. Not bad for a year of hard work from a headset!

I've never used ventrilo and been considering trying it. Any recommendations for a headset? Is it worth shelling out big bucks for the fancy models? What do you use? Thanks.

Hmm must use that command in future :D never realised print screen used a boring jpeg :D

Data participates in a romantic relationship with a fellow crew member.

Enjoy!

Awesome setup Brandon. I love me some apple. Hmm...It's about time for me to start considering a new apple computer...hmm.

I'd like to give it a try. Hopefully as the Science officer, or medical if someone really has their heart set on science.

Just last night a buddy of mine in game mentioned he heard my question on Priority One. I said, "Yeah, Brandon's a friend of mine. We've been playing together since Beta." He said: "You know Brandon?! That's so cool!"

Vinnie Jones would be really fun to have as a captain. xD

"Oright sunshine, you got a count a free to power down them weapons; uvverwise me an mine are gonna make sure you an yours are gonna 'ave quite an unpleasant day." :3

You pick which spot you want and you got it.

Holy crap, I CAN MAKE THIS ONE! I'd be happy to take CO, XO, or Medical. Regardless, the character I'll be using has the handle Tabashi.

Here she is! :cheer: patching up STO right now and crossing my fingers that it looks amazing!

@Propecius: Thanks for submitting your entry! :) Congratulations on being the first person to throw their story into the ring. Good luck!

@JBrenden: Glad to hear that you're excited! So are we. :) To answer your GREAT question, there is no current word limit. That said, I would urge writers to keep their entries to a reasonable length. Our judges only have one week at the end of the month to read and rate all of the entries, so be kind on their time. :) That said, no entry will be discounted for length itself.
