Same here, though if you want Aegis I'm out of dilithium atm so you'll have to bring your own unreplicatable materials.

Guys, we really need to see about making an HLP Fleet - So I'm proposing that next weekend, on Sunday, at about 8PM GMT, everyone gets their asses online and we form an HLP Fleet.

I support this, but I'm afraid I'll be out at that time, so I'll just have to join in after.  It shouldn't bee too hard to get the required 5 or 6 people though.

[Mongoose]

Not to criticize a game I've never played, but it seems like a massive (and unnecessary) inconvenience to require multiple people online at the same time in order to set up a fleet.  The only MMO-ish games I've played let you set up guilds/the equivalent on your own...is requiring numerous people something that's fairly standard?

[Scourge of Ages]

No, that is weird. Every one I've played - not a whole lot, but still - allow just one person to set up a guild or whatever. This is mighty inconvenient. They probably do it to prevent people making a fleet just to get their own personal fleet storage. Understandable, but annoying.

[Liberator]

It only takes five, if you can't get that many people online at once, you don't have any business starting a fleet.

WoW takes 10.

[Scourge of Ages]

I just discovered something very interesting: Even though the event is over, you can still replay "The 2800" missions and get the rewards for them. They're in the Cardassian Front chapter, down a ways.

[Scotty]

Umm, yeah?  It's not STO's policy to straight up remove content like that.  They also added another dozen missions before it.

[NGTM-1R]

The only reason you can't buy Galors straight up from the C-Store is because CBS didn't want to allow it. And so forth.

These guys work hard on content, they're not going to just yank it.

[Scourge of Ages]

Ah. I didn't know that. At the time it seemed like it would disappear though it didn't make much sense.

[Scotty]

Hit Admiral, got my first piece of borg gear today.  I find it amusing that I've only just accepted the first Romulan Front mission, but I'm already a rank 45.

[Scotty]

Experimenting with mines on my Escort in place of turrets.  If it works with these random quantum mines I got from a fleet action, I'll see how it works with some nice Borg mines.  Fun times for everyone! \o/

[Liberator]

Their is an XP boost in FAs and Borg attacks.  It kind of skews the leveling path a tad, but it's not too bad.

[Scourge of Ages]

I'll tell you what messes with leveling: DOFF missions. After you unlock them, you could feasibly hit the cap without ever fighting another battle.

[Scotty]

* Scotty went from ~30 to ~39 without moving from the same spot by just doing his DOFF missions for a week and a half while he was too busy to actually play.

[TrashMan]

Tried the STO Foundry tools..

Horrible, unintuitive and you can't do jack s*** with them.
You got no control over anything.

[Liberator]

Maybe you do fiddle with them long enough.  There are tons of well made missions available to play.

Too busy with exams to do that this month, but last week of april I should be okay.

[Darius]

Latest I can be on is 5pm GMT on Sunday if you need people on around that time.

Just discovered the benefits of martial arts/melee combos. Took down Hakeev in the final Romulan Arc mission with my bare hands. It was easier than shooting him from range!

[Scotty]

I have acheived Vice Admiral.  I have, incidentally, not yet gotten even halfway through the Romulan Arc.  Woo DOFF missions.
