GU Star Trek Online guild?

Even if like Aion it's short lived, I reckon it'd still be a good bit of fun while it lasts. I thought we could use the acronym of GU, but make it something uber-lame, relating to space. "Galactic Unity" or something else we can make fun of.

Any interest in this?

Galactic Unity.... what have you been smoking?

Gorn from Uranus?

lol gobblers of uberness

I'd prefer a semi-serious approach to the game in live, but im up for a mockery in beta.

How serious it would be would depend entirely on participation enthusiasm and interest in the longevity of the guild and game... who knows if the majority will even keep playing after a couple months. That's a bridge we shall cross when we come to it I guess.

What about Omega Directive or GU's Omega Directive or Project GU

unity sounds like a good idea

I like project GU

+1

We getting this fleet going?

yeah, im hanging out for some fleet action :)

STO looks like WoW UI

We need 5 ppl online, at the same time, to form a Fleet,

ill join im on nearly all day (kitty@xolares)

To create a fleet you need five people online, in a team and all on the spacedock together in the same instance. Then someone can walk up to that fleet chick and create one for GU.

Logging in now if my Internet doesnt die in its arse.

need 3 more! =)

Always seem to run into exploding ships.

"Sir, the enemy ship has a warp core breach in progress."
"Prepare for ramming speed!"

At least crew turnover rate is high enough that nobody is around long enough to lodge a complaint. ;)

haha have had issues with my escort ship and core breaches - have 50 crew i think - two breaches and i'm a ghostship ><

Bump.

Two a fleet make not.

We bothering with this still?

i think we should - tomorrow night - 9pm everyone who wants in, login :)

15mins to go I think.

ONE MORE FUCKING PERSON LOG IN NOW. FUCK SAKE.

OK be in shortly

never mind appears my forum time setting are wrong.

fleet formed.

jay, aegis, lenko, me, bam stroker managed to get it done

also some epic fleet combat there last night

If you get stuck on "The Ultimate Klingon" you probably need to fly to another system in the sector. eg A good Day to Hide - Go to H'atoria Solar System.

I left the clan! Due to paladins normal moronic ways!

ROFL.

[Attachment 6506]

you mean you QQ'd and left and just thought you'd hand out blame where you most want it to land.

Guh! Fleet rank. I wish they hadn't included that. That's why I didn't promote anyone beyond member last time.

yeah couldnt help myself - i promoted everyone from the creation team to leader (except lenko - had to make him a 'member' =) )

im online most nights now, but id be a fair bit behind you guys as i only just started
but if u wanna have some fleet action just lemme know

I've barely played, but you can mostly blame the BC2 Beta for that =)

im captain now im starting to agree with some of the other STO players that the galaxy class is slow at turning and it drifts really bad!! XD

I don't mind the galaxy class turn rate during combat, but it's a joke that it takes longer to turn and get the loot than it took to defeat the enemy. It's also incredibly frustrating when the quickest way to get to an objective that appears behind you, is to orbit the central celestial body rather than just turn around.

yeah, feels like they've made the weaknesses at T4 far more pronounced. as jay said: the defiant class shields and hull are fricken ridiculous. half the time my mouse doesnt even reach my science team before my shields are gone and my hull is evaporating away. really hoping they dont nerf Reverse Shield Polarity as has been mentioned on the STO forums - without that i wont survive ANY 5+ ship encounters :/

i fear for my Cerberus at T5... expecting it to not even have shields at this rate ><

additionally - new post on the STO site about skills that's worth a read: http://www.startrekonline.com/node/1158

Quote:
[...] though these skills currently become less useful in the endgame. However, we are in the process of changing this. All ship skills will grant some bonus to the ship above it. So an Assault Cruiser will benefit from Starship Captain, Cruiser Captain, Heavy Cruiser Captain, Exploration Cruiser Captain and Assault Cruiser Captain, but it will get the most benefit from Assault Cruiser Captain Skill. So if you want to maximize your Assault Cruiser, you will need all those skills. Note, the Assault Cruiser will not gain any benefit from the Star Cruiser Captain skill and vice-versa. The bonuses only affect ships upwards along the tree, not laterally.

also - ROFL at the rare bridge officer actually BEING purple

You guys not playing anymore?

we are, in between snorting Battlefield: Bad Company 2 off of glass tables - which is to say, not much. =)

I haven't actually touched Star Trek online since beta - because since then, I too have spent 90 hours playing the BC2 beta, and Bad Company 2 retail.

That trend doesn't look to change anytime soon.

Was going to play a bit this week at work by the telstra nextg wireless modem I use while out and about like to randomly hang windows 7.
But pretty much haven't touched it since BFBC2.
