On a personal note i had a great run in the 101st fleet and am very glad its still going strong today with many new members all working together.</p> <p>Happy 5th Anniversary 101.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>FLEET TRAINING PROGRAM</strong></p> <p><a href=”http://101st-fleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Training-patch.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-3905 alignleft” src=”http://101st-fleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Training-patch-300×300.jpg” alt=”” width=”300″ height=”300″ /></a><a href=”http://101st-fleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/loadout.png”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-3906 alignleft” src=”http://101st-fleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/loadout-300×287.png” alt=”” width=”300″ height=”287″ /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have started an event for every Sunday the idea behind it is for members that don’t play PvP often to get some practice and come up with tactics to work as a team and learn new skills myself included.</p> <p>The training program rules are everyone to be in the same ship Tier 1 Miranda class with all the same weapons and consoles for a balanced match.</p> <p>The only things that will be different will be your own personal traits and ability’s I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone will get on.</p> <p>If the program proves popular fleet command will work on prizes for winning teams however that idea is a work in progress at the moment and we still need to work out the details for that.<br /> <iframe style="display: block; margin: 0px auto;" id="_ytid_71903" width="695" height="391" data-origwidth="695" data-origheight="391" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tYXkLFLqnko?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&" class="__youtube_prefs__ epyt-is-override no-lazyload" title="YouTube player" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy="1" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=""></iframe><br /> &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>  PROJECT QUEEN</strong></p> <p><a href=”http://101st-fleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Project-Queen-Patch.jpg”><img class=”size-medium wp-image-3907 aligncenter” src=”http://101st-fleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Project-Queen-Patch-300×300.jpg” alt=”” width=”300″ height=”300″ /></a></p> <p>As many of you may have seen this logo pop up every now and then on Facebook and wondered what its about i thought I’d finally reveal what Project Queen is.</p> <p>As you all now my ship is the U.S.S.

Apologises for the delay in this one, been really busy the last week and a half. Oh, also ignore the construction going on. Cryptic are just undergoing a massive space rebalance for the game, so there are construction and deconstruction going on everywhere. </p> <p><em>Random construction foreman walks up “Sir, I need you to sign here”.</p> <p>Admiral Aaron takes clipboard “Wait, authorization to remove automated Beam Fire at Will targeting?, Sure, I sign it, but whats the problem?” </p> <p>“One of your senior crewman are taking the removal, a bit too hard. So we just wanted authorisation to calm her down” </p> <p>“Her?”</p> <p>Admiral Aaron looks over to his tactical station.

Anything but my art”. </p> <p>“Ugggghhhh” </em></p> <p>Alright, we that, lets get started with this months post. </p> <p><strong>FACEBOOK</strong></p> <p> There has been some posts on the 101st and 102nd fleet Facebook pages this month. As usual, if you have anything to share regarding your ship, crew or game, please share it. We would love to hear your stories. </p> <p>First, a very funny Cartoon provided by Captain Chris on the 102nd fleet. I have to admit, I am still laughing about this one. </p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17191204_1476611402372872_873881089755824001_n.jpg?oh=2d1094e27a018958e8911b083e1d9cf0&oe=59589062" alt="Seeing All" /></p> <p>After a long month of voting, the 102nd Fleet has chosen its flagship. The USS Queen Mary NCC 1706-A, Kelvin Class ship. </p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16938569_10212137203485985_7817628550604780593_n.jpg?oh=4083a58bd902aab66fb5bab601cb2a4a&oe=596E6126" alt="Queen Mary" /></p> <p>Also, Ieon Productions have produced one of their videos. This time for one of the XBox players, Admiral Karl’s USS Abaddon. </p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/Uz1Kie3Nct4" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Uz1Kie3Nct4</a></p> <p><strong>Ieon Productions</strong></p> <p>Ieon Productions (Reaper86 Films) has been very busy the last month, producing many quality videos for Star Trek Online. Again, our thanks go to Admiral Ieon for his tireless video producing. I enjoy seeing every new video he comes up with. </p> <p>First up, The USS Queen Mary’s crew takes on the Kobayashi Maru test. </p> <iframe style="display: block; margin: 0px auto;" id="_ytid_38906" width="695" height="391" data-origwidth="695" data-origheight="391" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jHlnC6t3b9M?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&" class="__youtube_prefs__ no-lazyload" title="YouTube player" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy="1" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=""></iframe> <p>Second, is a launch video for Admiral Will’s USS Beowulf, one of the flagships of the 101st Fleet. </p> <iframe style="display: block; margin: 0px auto;" id="_ytid_43435" width="695" height="391" data-origwidth="695" data-origheight="391" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z5ZACO3fnL8?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&" class="__youtube_prefs__ no-lazyload" title="YouTube player" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy="1" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=""></iframe> <p> Again, thanks go to Admiral Ieon for his productions.

In a broad sense, not really much. Cryptic have been hard at work with smaller events, as well as the breach even that just finished last week. </p> <p>However, the biggest news, that is really driving the community, is the space balance changes which are currently on tribble for testing. Please see the original blog post that had general information regarding the test. </p> <p><a href="http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10426883-details-on-space-balance-changes" target="_blank">http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10426883-details-on-space-balance-changes</a></p> <p>For the last two weeks, there has been multiple tribble patch notes, with massive list of changes. The changes alone are too big to get into. However, I will detail some of the major ones that are splitting community opinion. </p> <p>* Plasmonic leechs power boost has been reduced. Also, it is now at a fixed rate regardless of how much DrainX skill you have. You can still drain alot of your enemies power, but it no longer gets transferred to your ship. </p> <p>* Plasma embassy consoles have been hit hard, very hard. These consoles now apply plasma damage per cycle, instead of per shot. Also, there damage boost has been reduced by 75%. </p> <p>* Beam Fire at Will now has a damage reduction and accuracy reduction based on the skill you have. For example, BFAW 1 has a 40% less accuracy, and damage boost compared to holodeck numbers at this time. </p> <p>* If you have invincibility or continuity, it now locks out usage of the Tactical captain ability of Go Down Fighting.</p> <p>* Other numerous changes</p> <p>To sum it all up, the meta alot of players have been enjoying where they could build a massive DPS ship with no downsides very easy, has basically been destroyed. </p> <p>Spartan, true to his word, has been taking feedback, and changing things where he can. In my opinion, it looks like this will encourage more build choices and variants compared to what we have now. There has been no information on exactly when these changes will hit holodeck. </p> <p>However, I would personally expect to see these changes go live in middle of April. I would like to remind everyone, if you have feedback, please give me back logically and not screaming or shouting at the devs. </p> <p>The areas you can give feedback is on the official forums, as well as the reddit sto page for the game. Both areas the devs frequent alot, so there is a good chance they will see your feedback there. </p> <p><em>Senior Foreman interrupts again “Sign this please sir” </p> <p>Admiral Aaron sighs “What now?” looks at clipboard “Authorization to generate more power with EPS induction matrix?, How much power are we talking about here?” </p> <p>Senior foreman thinks for a moment “Hmmm, about plus twenty five for each sub-system” </p> <p>Aaron looks shocked for a moment, and a bit scared “You havent told my chief engineer about this have you?” </p> <p>Senior Foreman looks surprised “Oh course I did, need to instruct every area of potential works. Why wouldn’t I inform them?” </p> <p>Giggling laugh comes from the side of two man, and Zuikaku’s chief engineer is smiling a evil smile. </p> <p>“More power, even more power! Now I can do even more incredible things. Hahhhh, HAHAHAHHAHAHAH” laugh starts taking on a evil tone. </p> <p>Senior Foreman, with a shocked scared look on his face “Are you scared as I am right about now sir” </p> <p>Aaron looks at the foreman “Oh you have no idea”</em></p> <p><strong>FIRST CONTACT DAY CELEBRATION </strong></p> <p><img src="http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/96/4c/964cec46f0562867f8e0756f666c6c421489791422.jpg" alt="http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/96/4c/964cec46f0562867f8e0756f666c6c421489791422.jpg" /></p> <p>The biggest news, which was posted just this morning, is the return of Firs Contact day celebrations. </p> <p><a href="http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10439813-first-contact-day-celebration%21" target="_blank">http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10439813-first-contact-day-celebration%21</a></p> <p>While this event had been on the calendar for a while, everyone (including myself) was expecting the same Visit flagships of your faction small mission. What we got however, looks to me even more exciting and cool. </p> <p>For this event (which runs from Thursday 39th March – Thursday April 6th) players visit Bozeman, Montana. There, you engage in a mind game to build your own replica Phoenix. </p> <p>You search the area for parts, and after a few minutes, you return to the launch area to build your unfinished ships. The ships are launched, and the player with the highest altitude is declared the winner. </p> <p>Honesty, I can wait to try this out. While no rewards are listed (if there are any) it looks like a new unique event, and a load of fun to boot. </p> <p><strong>FINAL NOTES</strong></p> <p>Next months State of the Fleet is on April 15th 2017 (I promise :)). Again, if anyone has any feedback regarding these posts, or wishes for additional content, please let me know. As always, this blog posts are for you, so anything that can further enhance them, I will definitely be looking at.</p> <p>Happy warp speed, and I will see you ingame.</p> </div><!--entry --> </div><!-- .entry-container --> <footer class="post-footer postdata fix"> <span class="author"><span class="icon"> </span>Posted by <span class="vcard"><a href="http://101st-fleet.com/archives/author/aaron" class="url fn" rel="author">Aaron S.

This screenshot shows Admirals Lawford and Roxana (Ieon) staring one another down before the big fight. The shot was taken from USS Zuikaku’s bridge. </p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/16473796_10211886894388414_941185501145764041_n.jpg?oh=935f11d34b2b0f1de332266ddaae6af9&oe=59003074" alt="Fight, Fight, Fight" /></p> <p>On Another post, we have Captain Lujayne showing off one of her Vesta class ships. This shot was taken roughly one month before the release of the T6 Vestas. Still, it is a good screenshot to look at. </p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15747412_10102362243941377_4748523439394563941_n.jpg?oh=7c84aa92539a660211e377ffabf491f8&oe=5935D6F0" alt="Vesta T5" /></p> <p>Another shot we have is from the 102nd Fleet’s facebook page. This show shows the USS Queen Mary, and the USS Aetherios Omega at Deep Space 102. </p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16388413_10211857643537161_720437014714877081_n.jpg?oh=84d19d74ff834968b66ea12beb278d91&oe=593A2F35" alt="Kelvin ships ahoy" /></p> <p>Remember folks, everyone is welcome to join the 101st and 10n2 fleet facebook pages if you are a member of our fleet. These pages are for everyone to share their screenshots, stories, and other fun things Star Trek Online, and Star Trek related. </p> <p><strong>VIDEOS</strong></p> <p>Reaper86 Productions has been hard at work the last few months. Producing some high quality videos to showcase the 102nd & 101st fleets. Again, I am sure every member of the 101st & 10nd fleets appreciate Ieon’s hard work and dedication. </p> <p>First off, is the video show casting the USS Queen Mary on a rescue mission. It is a very good blend of camera work, storyline, and music that really brings together this 7 minute video. Check it out below. </p> <iframe style="display: block; margin: 0px auto;" id="_ytid_52349" width="695" height="391" data-origwidth="695" data-origheight="391" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LOmIIh-uUVc?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&" class="__youtube_prefs__ no-lazyload" title="YouTube player" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy="1" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=""></iframe> <p>Reaper86 productions, in association with Foxman86 movies, also producted the brillant video show casting the USS Queen Mary’s & USS Zuikaku’s epic PvP fight.

Admiral Ieon is looking to continue to promoting the 102nd Fleet on Facebook and Youtube. If you have ideas on how Admiral Ieon might be able to do this, please contact him ingame or through Facebook. </p> <p>Also, if you feel you can assist with promotion the 102nd fleet. Please also let Admiral Ieon know. He needs every bodied Starfleet officer he can get. </p> <p>Admiral Ieon is also looking to expand the 102nd Fleet onto the Playstation version of Star Trek Online. If you are a playstation player who has Star Trek online, please let Admiral Ieon know. This will help him gauge how many people might be willing to be willing. </p> <p><strong>101st Fleet – Fleet Holdings Report</strong></p> <p>As I write this, the 101st Fleet is nearing completion of the K-13 space station we started several months ago. We are 4 days away now from upgrading the station to complete Tier 3. 101st Fleet senior command would like to thank everyone who contributed to the fleet holding. As always, your hard work, dedication, and teamwork has paid off. Well done. </p> <p><strong>102nd Fleet holdings</strong></p> <p>The 102nd fleet continues to build its fleet holdings slowly. At this time, the starbase is at tier 3 shipyard and space station. Other fleet holdings are a mix between tier 2 and 1. Please, if you have a 102nd fleet toon, contribute what you can when you can. The more we build the base up, the more reserve 102nd fleet will have to access fleet items without having to swap instances. </p> <p><strong>Cryptic Game news</strong></p> <p><img src="https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/cf/4d/cf4dacb52f41033421f22c5c1a07239d1487357392.jpg" alt="Incoming" /></p> <p>Usually, I would post several smaller items about what Cryptic has been doing the last month. However, this time, I will only be focusing on one news article. Specifically, a change that was just announced this morning. </p> <p>A major game rebalance effort. Please see the full text from one of the devs below. </p> <p><em>Star Trek Online has been live for just over seven years at this point, during which time we have been adding and updating new content to play, new systems to interact with, and new mechanics to utilize. Now, we are excited to announce that one major project going on is a re-balancing of a great number of the abilities and items that players use in combat.</p> <p>Given the opportunity to make such drastic changes to Star Trek Online’s experience, it was important to setup some guiding principles to ensure that the game, as much as possible, only gets better.</p> <p>The goals boil down to these:</p> <p>Increase the fun – Games are about having fun, and players should not be made to feel that their fun is “wrong.”<br /> Player investment retains value – While things need to be adjusted, a setup that was optimized before should still be useful and effective afterwards.<br /> Choices should be meaningful – Anywhere the game gives you a choice, there should be no choice that you always take nor one you never take.</p> <p>One of the great strengths of Star Trek Online’s combat system is how expansive it is, and the freedom it gives players to choose the combinations of items and abilities that gives them the playstyle that they want. The vast number of choices already in-game means that as we re-visit the utility and strength of various options, players will have the opportunity to re-discover a lot of abilities and items they may have cast aside, and some things that you already use should become a lot more fun and enjoyable to use.</p> <p>The immediate changes being made are to ground combat, with a bigger set of space changes coming to Tribble in the near future. As a preview, some of the changes coming to ground include:</p> <p>A stealth module re-design to improve its general usefulness and unique feel. In its re-designed state, when you activate stealth module, you become cloaked; after a short duration, you can attack, gaining a damage buff while attacking from behind that lasts the duration the stealth buff would have, but ending the stealth early.<br /> Your captain now uses a combadge to communicate – many of the Command kit modules that used to just affect an area near you now affect your entire team, no matter how far!<br /> Tactical Initiative has also received a few changes – it now lasts longer, but cannot have its cooldown reduced, and only affects the caster’s kit modules. Those changes are intended to make it so that the Tactical Initiative remains valuable to use while active, but changes the amount of performance spike that non-tactical captains get due to tactical captains, and ensures that non-kit abilities designed around a long cooldown retain that balance point.<br /> Security Escorts should now be more useful while in combat– they now move faster to keep up with you better, and hit harder while out, but in return players are limited to one pair at a time.</p> <p>This is just a short list of some of the changes being made to ground – a Tribble patch shortly will have the full list and details. Keep your eyes peeled for that patch, and a blog talking about some of the bigger changes to space balance that will be coming soon!</p> <p>John “CrypticSpartan” Leavens</p> <p>Associate Systems Designer</p> <p>Star Trek Online</em></p> <p>The first changes have already hit the tribble test server. As a new patch was uploaded just a few hours ago. There are a massive amount of changes, so I will simply post the link to the tribble patch notes. </p> <p><a href="http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1228453/tribble-maintenance-and-release-notes-february-17-2017?sso=eyJuYW1lIjoiIiwicGhvdG91cmwiOiIiLCJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiIxNDQzOTY4OTgxIn0%3D+63a0d8322363d011a4456675b2b1066c7168dd81+1487388509+hmacsha1" target="_blank">http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1228453/tribble-maintenance-and-release-notes-february-17-2017?sso=eyJuYW1lIjoiIiwicGhvdG91cmwiOiIiLCJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiIxNDQzOTY4OTgxIn0%3D+63a0d8322363d011a4456675b2b1066c7168dd81+1487388509+hmacsha1</a></p> <p>Please be aware, this is a 2.5GB patch. This is also the first part of many changes coming to Star Trek Online. </p> <p><strong>SENIOR FLEET COMMAND ALERT INCOMING</strong></p> <p>I usually do not do this, however, as my capacity as 101st Fleet admiral, I feel it is my duty in this instance to offer advice. If anyone has been thinking of making a major build change, or go on a spending spree to “EPIC” out their gear, I would recommend waiting. </p> <p>At this time, we have no idea how space is going to be effected. I would feel awful if someone spent alot of ingame currency for a item, only for it to be majorly changed a few weeks or even days later. </p> <p>Again, this is only a recommendation, as I have no desire to tell people how to run their ships and crew. But I would also like to see that everyone continue to enjoy this game. I will be keeping AN EXTREMELY CLOSE eye on tribble the next few weeks. Any major changes I see, will be communicated with. </p> <p>I will also be posting on Facebook evey major tribble patch with these fixes or changes. To ensure everyone is heavily informed. </p> <p><strong>EQUATOR ALLIANCE NEWS</strong></p> <p>Equator alliance chat has been pretty quiet of late. I have to say, I am also responsible for this, as I haven’t been posting in there often enough. Equator alliance has a chat channel ingame called “EQUATOR”. </p> <p>This chat channel is primary for alliance members, and other captains to communicate with. To say hello every once in a while, ask for teammates for STF runs, as well asking for build advice, or invites to each others fleet holdings. </p> <p>Please use this channel where possible, even if it is just to say hello. Lets keep come great communication going so we can continue to show the alliance what a friendly helpful bunch we are. </p> <p>If anyone is having trouble getting into the channel, please send me a message ingame, or talk to me directly. </p> <p><strong>FINAL NOTES</strong></p> <p><img src="https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/2f/c3/2fc34c43c6ade05ed3a468adc0f257951486507054.jpg" alt="Balance" /></p> <p>Next months State of the Fleet is on March 18th 2017. Again, if anyone has any feedback regarding these posts, or wishes for additional content, please let me know. As always, this blog posts are for you, so anything that can further enhance them, I will definitely be looking at. </p> <p>Happy warp speed, and I will see you ingame. </p> </div><!--entry --> </div><!-- .entry-container --> <footer class="post-footer postdata fix"> <span class="author"><span class="icon"> </span>Posted by <span class="vcard"><a href="http://101st-fleet.com/archives/author/aaron" class="url fn" rel="author">Aaron S.

This will give us access to the interior of the station. </p> <p>As we get further into the holding, senior fleet command will make any necessary decisions based on resource limitation for buying new items.

We will keep you informed. </p> <p><strong>102nd Fleet </strong></p> <p>the 102nd Fleet is currently about half way through the first tier projects to unlock the tier one upgrades.

It gives me great pleasure to bring you this months “State of the Fleet” for September 2016. This is the first edition of “SOTF” to cover multiple consoles and fleets spread over those consoles. So let’s engage our console universal translators and get into exploring the great unknown of this months blog. </p> <p><strong>FACEBOOK</strong></p> <p>With the launch of Star Trek Online onto consoles, our respective facebook pages have started to be populated with images from the console side of the game. This is especially true of the 102nd Fleet, who launched themselves onto the XBOX one version of the game. </p> <p>We also had the 50th anniversary of Star Trek online that has just passed us by. </p> <p>Captain Karl showed us his new MVAM Escort ship. </p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/14344149_1156014641111315_6198334675054818016_n.jpg?oh=5cc432e5e5dce0391be35cc3523e176f&oe=583888BE" alt="MVAM XB1" /></p> <p>Admiral Ieon has a new Soverign class ship.

The biggest news from the release of Star Trek Online onto PS4 and XBOX One. </p> <p><strong>Console Release</strong></p> <p>At the beginning of this month, as related before, Cryptic released Star Trek Online to consoles. This move had been announced earlier this year, and was released on the week of the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. </p> <p>This allows console players to experience Star Trek Online for themselves. There are a number of differences between the PC version and the console version. Some features which are coming to console, but not yet released, are below. </p> <p><em>Guild Housing and Progression, represented in the Fleet Holdings System.<br /> Crafting, through the Research and Development System.<br /> The Admiralty System, in where you direct the actions of an entire fleet to earn items.<br /> The Duty Officer System, which allows you to direct the actions of your crew to earn items and improve your space and ground operations.<br /> The Agents of Yesterday Expansion, which adds Federation captains from the TOS era to the game along with a series of new adventures that take place throughout space – and time!</em></p> <p>For more information, please check out this following link, as well as the Star Trek Online forums.</p> <p><a href="http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10142423-star-trek-online-console-differences" target="_blank">http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10142423-star-trek-online-console-differences</a></p> <p><strong>3D models of Star Trek Online Ships</strong></p> <p><img src="http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/35/6d/356d809a56d7f4e916caa2d06ed8703e1472699450.jpg" alt="Intrepid" /></p> <p>Cryptic Studios, is associated with Perfect World, CBS, and Eucl3D are offering Captains the chance to have their ships printed in 3D-12 inch models and sent to them to be displayed on your desk, or stand. </p> <p>At this time, this feature is still not released. However, Cryptic have informed us we should be hearing words from them shortly regarding what price, options that are available. </p> <p>For the latest information, please check the below link. </p> <p><a href="http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10142383-new-shipyards-are-coming-online" target="_blank">http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10142383-new-shipyards-are-coming-online</a></p> <p><strong>Tribble Testing</strong></p> <p>The Lighting overhaul, now live on the console version of the game. Is currently being tested on the tribble test server for PC. This test has only be going on for one week (two technically). However, I can already see the difference. </p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14192524_10210548407696113_4096173969473720011_n.jpg?oh=1b079f830fdfe5db37dcbbcf87a13089&oe=583F5526" alt="Tribble lights 5" /></p> <p><img src="https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14203094_10210483531154240_7093726215140449636_n.jpg?oh=782eebc5adbbaf08e19207856d87b7e0&oe=587BA5FD" alt="Tribble lights 6" /></p> <p>At this time, it is suspected that the lighting update will go live to holodeck sometime in late October. I will keep you informed as i hear more news. </p> <p><strong>Final Notes</strong></p> <p>Next Months State of the Fleet will be posted on October 15th.

This is due to Ieon wanting to focus on commanding the 102nd Fleet. </p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-photos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfl1/v/t1.0-0/s526x395/13700182_10209833260728856_2764331348449455256_n.jpg?oh=5f61da9a569d8397c34a0b1c747b50b4&oe=5818AA5D&__gda__=1474938563_4e067b621dedf06e05b16050f4fe144d" alt="Admiral Ieon" /></p> <p>101st Senior Command would like to thank Admiral Ieon for his years of hard work with the 101st fleet. Hes dedication to duty, as well as presenting and expanding 101st fleets community base with videos and stories has enriched this fleet greatly. </p> <p>Vice Admiral Juno has now been promoted to provision fleet admiral of the 101st Fleet. Congratulations Admiral Juno. </p> <p><strong>Cryptic News</strong></p> <p><img src="http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/a9/cf/a9cff58d96c622de4dbeb5570e75faf41467699488.jpg" alt="Cryptic Konnie" /></p> <p>With the release of Agents of Yesterday, Star Trek Online’s third expansion, Cryptic has brought us the continuing of Star Trek Online’s story as the temporal cold war becomes a hot one. </p> <p>I have to say, I am greatly impressed by the combination of TOS material, temporal story writing, and the bringing in of the Kelvin timeline story into Star Trek Online. </p> <p>Witha new specialisation, new reputation, more gear than you can throw a warp core at, it is a dream expansion for captains and ship flyers. I am also eager seeing how cryptic continue the story line after this. They have already dropped hints as to whats next, so it is going to be interesting times ahead. </p> <p><strong>The Story so Far</strong></p> <p><img src="http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/cb/ca/cbca76d336c4a6397cd660d10a2a85a61468948248.jpg" alt="The Story so far" /></p> <p>Cryptic have also taken us back in time, which is appropriate considering the main storyline at the moment. They have done a blog post on how far we have come in the storyline. This is more for new players sake. However, as a longtime player myself, i appreciated the trip down memory lane. Especially to when i was a snot nosed rookie captain (oh god, those days :). </p> <p>You can check out the dev blog here. <a href="http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10080023-story-so-far-part-1" target="_blank">http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10080023-story-so-far-part-1</a></p> <p><strong>Before and After</strong></p> <p><img src="http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/80/b6/80b65b614552dce1657f3e6419a1dd251469211683.jpg" alt="Before and After" /></p> <p>Cryptic is also continuing there dev blogs on the work they are doing with the lighting in Star Trek Online. This is a complete re-work in preparation for the console release in a few months. </p> <p>PC Players will see the lighting update a short while after that. But the work so far is looking fantastic and i cannot wait to see it ingame. </p> <p>You can check out an example here. <a href="http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10085833-star-trek-online%3A-weekly-before-and-after" target="_blank">http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10085833-star-trek-online%3A-weekly-before-and-after</a></p> <p><strong>Equator News</strong></p> <p>Equator Alliance now has a Discord channel.

Yes I do know there was no State of the Fleet for May, but several things in my personal life occurred that stopped me from really finding time to do to post last month. </p> <p>However, those issues have been resolved and the people who caused them stomped on and arrested by Starfleet security. So lets get into this months SOTF, and everything that has happened in the last 2 months. </p> <p><strong>101st/102nd Fleets – Remembers Captain John Beeson (aka @LarcBrightstar)</strong></p> <p>First off, a sad time happened last month when we lost one of our own. Captain John Beeson (aka @Larcbrightstar) passed away last month. Captain Beeson had been a long standing fleet member, and always someone who was fun to have around, and talk to. </p> <p>101st Fleet’s Senior Command thoughts go out to Captain Beeson’s family and friends for their tough times ahead. At this time Captain Larc’s account will be given to one of his Nephew’s who loves Star Trek as much as Captain Beeson did. </p> <p>To you Captain Beeson, you were one of the good people, and may your journey in the final frontier be a peaceful one. </p> <p><strong>101st/102nd Fleet Facebook</strong></p> <p>There has been alot happening on the 101st Fleet facebook page in the last two months. With the Risa summer event happening, as well as many other micro events, it has been an interesting time. Even more interesting has been the pictures and videos posted. </p> <p>Admiral Will shows us that even on Risa, you still encounter strange new species.</p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-photos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/13450773_10209818952977428_4353210017846595852_n.jpg?oh=0b6f7132f0c66c09574e323fb970f2d2&oe=57D31A3E&__gda__=1473510337_24c1c80041b2a6c06e2853c33fb00ea5" alt="What the!" /></p> <p>Myself, I prove I can still embarass the 101st fleet with my dancing. </p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-photos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpt1/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/13346621_10209727173845780_6545202812122459344_n.jpg?oh=304464dacc8be4935d2e802afef930f5&oe=57DB618C&__gda__=1472465518_1fd090be907c3ebdbb6d1dc60d551ea1" alt="What are you doing!" /></p> <p>Also a picture of several 101st and 102nd fleet admirals in orbit of Earth. </p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-photos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/13335964_10209686424907082_4009362032568847375_n.jpg?oh=ed2eb3d53769371872e7ed1e869d375a&oe=57DC2656&__gda__=1474003208_eecd443a3e94c49e45811c25613f9a9e" alt="3 Ships" /></p> <p>Admiral Ieon also produced several videos over the past 2 months.

As you might already have noticed, the background has changed a bit. </p> <p><img src="https://fbcdn-photos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-0/p240x240/13312662_668489679965032_4230858360460811348_n.jpg?oh=29a970f80df2d2abc7a6b21e49e03ec7&oe=57D9AABE&__gda__=1474215822_4d5f64a560e2ee18ff77fc9df70d17ef" alt="change is good" /></p> <p>Special thanks go to Vice Admiral Jim for all of his hard work.

The last 2 months have been full of news and Cryptic unexpectedly announced the next expansion for Star Trek Online – Called Agents of Yesterday. Whats even more interesting is the expansion is being launched in early July. Furthermore, Star Trek Online is heading to consoles. With STO set to hit PS4 and Xbox a few months after AoY has launched. </p> <p>I will use the words Cryptic themselves added to tell you what Agents of Yesterday is all about. </p> <p><em>Agents of Yesterday will allow players to create a new captain in Star Trek: The Original Series era and will set them on an adventure featuring classic story lines, locations, celebrities, and era-appropriate starships. In 2270, the year following the third season of the original series, the player will adventure with Walter Koenig, reprising his role of Chekov, and Chris Doohan, filling in for his father as Scotty. There is a new threat to the security of the Federation, and they are invading with hopes of overwhelming the past to destroy our future.</em></p> <p><a href="https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9937943-star-trek-online%3A-agents-of-yesterday-announcement" target="_blank">Agents of Yesterday</a></p> <p>So far, the testing on tribble has been quite interesting. The TOS episodes are very nicely done, as well as the STF queues that have been released in the last week or so for testing. </p> <p>Agents of Yesterday is currently being tested on the tribble test server. At this time, only subscribers and Gold members can access the tribble server. </p> <p><strong>New Specialization and Reputation – Temporal & Temporal Defense </strong></p> <p><img src="https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/a7/da/a7daeba68af72c832dc74cc7cbbec72c1465922102.png" alt="Scan here" /></p> <p>Coming in Agents of Yesterday, and two new items as well. Temporal Specialiation and Temporal Defense Reputation. You can read about each item separately in the following links.</p> <p>Temporal Specialization – <a href="https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10017283-star-trek-online%3A-temporal-specialization" target="_blank">https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10017283-star-trek-online%3A-temporal-specialization</a></p> <p>Temporal Defense Reputation – <a href="https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10019593-star-trek-online%3A-temporal-defense-reputation" target="_blank">https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10019593-star-trek-online%3A-temporal-defense-reputation</a></p> <p>Both were just added to the tribble test server. So I really don’t have much feedback at the moment regarding these two new items.</p> <p><strong>Final Notes</strong></p> <p>Next Months “State of the Fleet” will be posted on a different day. With Agents of Yesterday launching on July 6th, I will be doing the state of the Fleet on Friday 8th July 2016. Stay tuned for what I am sure is going to be a very interesting expansion, and continued expansion of the 101st and 102nd fleets as we move into our third expansion. </p> </div><!--entry --> </div><!-- .entry-container --> <footer class="post-footer postdata fix"> <span class="author"><span class="icon"> </span>Posted by <span class="vcard"><a href="http://101st-fleet.com/archives/author/aaron" class="url fn" rel="author">Aaron S.

However the storyline was good and there were parts where it helped if you were an investigator and thought your responses out. </p> <p>Judging by how the episode ended, the 5th May date from seasons 11.5 trailer definitely is tied into this episode.
