Are we still doing this event?

Gareth, I may need some help, I still don't seem to understand Armadas properly. I think I need more pictures, drawings, infographics, and an interpretive dance to better understand it. Also, do they come with autopilot? :silly:

You would be amazed how many people don't know how the Armada system works or that it even exists. I think this post is fantastic in helping those people out, but not only that, but helping those that think they know how it works!

...If you feel a better post could be made, feel free to do one...!

If you're taking the PC for service, they should be able to handle your virus issue.

Once that's done if you want to bypass the Arc launcher and just start STO without it, that's easy enough. It doesn't need to be running to start the game at all. If you ever get any bonuses/freebies from Arc that apply in-game though, you will need to start the game from the launcher one time in order to claim them (for example: the Khan off-duty costume).

The launcher is an unstable resources hog that (best I can tell) has several memory addressing conflicts with the STO client, plus it's an always-on Internet app so it's using up some of your bandwidth too. It used to crash the game on me all the time so I always bypass it. Here's how:

Look for the folder named "Star Trek Online_en" which should be inside your "Program Files (x86)\Arc" folder. You should see "Star Trek Online.exe" in there, so just right-drag a shortcut from that to your desktop, or right-click it and you can pin to either the Windows start menu or the taskbar.

At that point you can either ignore or delete your original Arc shortcut, and just use your new one to start the game without the launcher fighting with STO for system resources.

Hi Fleeters.

Looks like I was stupid and picked up a virus from the you tube downloader. It has seriously messed up my computer. I've tried many things and it's still there. It pulls up multiple windows of junk web pages and crashes Arc and The game itself.

Open to suggestions if anyone has any. Also feel bad as I am not helping out with the fleets. It's been about a week. I hope to get things fixed asap.

Pretty sure I will be taking the computer in tomorrow. But I also seem to remember there were sometimes problems with the game crashing from the launcher. Guidance on that? I've put in a bunch of cryptic tickets when the crash happens. Haven't heard anything or been able to see if I've had any reply to those tickets.

Sorry for the ramble there. Lol

W00t! I so excited to finally get this set up. As the official envoy from the Pirates/Redshirts/Prime Directive group, I just wanted to say that we are VERY excited to be joining such a large, established group of players.

We were called "established"...I think I may start to cry.

Welcome aboard Armadamates! xD

Nope, no email. Though it's probably US centric so I wouldn't expect one.

It almost always is, which leaves the other 95%+ of the world's population left out.

*eats Jaffa cake*

I didn't get anything either. Now that it apparently is legit, I'm sad (although that might also have something to do with the fact I got home at 3.15 AM yesterday and woke up at 12.30 pm with a slight headache, lol)

Pics of the swag or it didn't happen! :silly:

Aye. We are the poor partners!

Be sure to announce that levelers should use any XP boosts that they may have earned/won (yes, they're mostly useless but every bit helps) AND to have everyone that's able to to choose their COMMAND Specialization as it has good stacking team bonuses for ground and space!

my 2cents

OK folks, I'm begging. Part 1 only has 3 reviews, the other 2 only have 1 review each! :(

Please go review at least part 1 so it goes public!

Well it's legit

It had better not be tribbles!

i was just curious if our teamspeak server has a max capacity or some kind of throttling it does based on a license we have or whatever? while it does go idle most of the time, we do use it quite a bit for fleet events. if there are capacity limitations, it might hinder our ability to do those if we don't expand it or plan around it. thought i'd ask. :-)

Our Teamspeak server has a limit of 40 users. We've never reached the limit and only come close during some big fleet events. If it starts to become an issue, we can always increase the limit.

Ive merged this Teamspeak question into the Armada thread, as it makes sense.

While talking to the fleets who have joined our Armada, one of their questions was "do we use teamspeak much?" .. and of course we said YES...
We are constantly trying to come up with new ways for members to utilize teamspeak as an important tool during their gaming experience, beyond attending events.. so we welcome the chance to invite other Armada members into TS.

Its a great device.. weather you want to listen to music in the DJ room.. or team up in the co-op rooms, we will encourage everyone in the fleet and visitors to use it.

in my experience its never been a problem to have to many

everything you say and how you say it makes my teeth sweat.

Looks pretty interesting, I remember enjoying Age of Empires (II and III) back in the day so I'm also rather curious.

We will address those issues as and when it becomes a concern. As it is for now we have capacity for those that use it :)
