To the Admirals & Fleet Captains of Stonewall,

Throughout each year, Stonewall members enjoy a great many events and services provided by our unsung heroes who have sacrificed months and in some cases, many years of their lives to this community. From meticulously planned in-game events to dance parties to raffles to social gatherings to build advice and lively conversations in the forums... none of these would be possible without the dedication of our Fleet Captain and Admiral volunteers.

It's on the heels of three back-to-back in-game Christmas events, the last of which just wrapped up on Sunday, and with another fleet event (the "Guess Who" contest) already planned to start on Tuesday, that we, the regular members of Stonewall, wanted to share our appreciation of your collective efforts.

With the holidays fast approaching, the members and I thought it would be timely to acknowledge all of your hard work this year. We all notice you Fleet Captains and Admirals tirelessly organizing and leading runs and events and just generally volunteering your time to make each day in Stonewall something special for the rest of us, so we wanted to give something back. Unfortunately we're collectively too poor to gift you all the shiny loot that you deserve this holiday season, but we've left you something from the heart, instead. Read the backstory in the spoiler section and then be sure to click on our gift below!

On behalf of all of us members of the fleet,
Thank you all!

Just wanted to say thank you to Cai and all others who helped to make these little Christmas parties a huge ball of fun! Sadly, I couldn't make the last one, but the first two were an absolute blast! I even got a ship from the Secret Santa exchange, yay! :silly:

I really want to give it another go, as I have heard it has improved since launch. You can buy it for between 10-20 quid of G2A so it's not a massive amount of money to waste if I still don't like it.

But it's an 80 Gig download and on my 1950's internet will just take sooo long that it keeps putting me off. :(

I think they have a homing pigeon delivery service. That'd be quicker than your internet. :P

Congratulations!!

Congratulations

Great walkthrough for Defera!

I'll just add:

-You can tell if City is bugged (well, if it has the oldest, most common, not-yet fixed bug) by looking at the borg along the wall in the area (there are 4 areas to do this mission in). There should be 4. If there aren't, then it's bugged and you can start the mission and wait 7 minutes (sometimes every area is bugged.)

-To find a team, ask in Zone chat on Defera, the only place in STO where Zone chat is useful. write "lfg fed (or kdf) hards". If no one invites you, then invite the next person who writes that to your team.

Or ask in fleet chat. If I'm around I'll usually go.

-Just to reiterate what Andrea said for everyone: it says "hard" but it's not hard at all! Come along the next time someone in the fleet is looking for a team! We'd love to have you! We don't mind showing you around and helping you get Fleet Marks, Borg Neural Processors, and dome dil!

Congratulations!! :)

SNOWMEN ARE COMING DOWN ALL 4 LANES
SNOWMEN ARE COMING DOWN BLUE LOZANGE AND BLACK DIAMOND LANES
SNOWMEN ARE COMING DOWN ALL 4 LANES
SNOWMEN ARE COMING DOWN BLUE LOZANGE LANE

(On a side note.... I'm still trying to figure out which lane is which?)

FYI: There are little icons (almost like globes) above the pillars on the crosswalks over each lane. They have a specific shape and/or color that helps to readily identify which lane you are on. This way when a certain lane is called out you can identify where you need to go by looking.

It's not you, it honestly happen to everyone from fleet captains, to admirals, members and new recruits.

I can definitely relate to this sentiment; hence me be being a jolly Klingon b***h, lol. I can safely say that I am probably a very familiar face and liked by many and with that in mind even I have many times where getting even a simple 'hello' can be like pulling teeth and the strong desire to run sharp nails across a chalk board to get others attention.

The best you can do and is keep throwing in conversation here and there. As well, you can check the times of day you play and compare it to others to see if there is a discrepancy to when people are more responsive. I.e. for me when I'm online at 3am-7am EST I find it much more difficult to get peoples attention than if I am on at 10am or 7pm my time zone.

Also, have you looked into the possibility that you are experiencing the 'chat' bug where you won't see other people chatting in game or possibly they are not seeing you. Comparing a chat log with others can assist (but not conclusively) in determining if that is the cause. Despite the said fix for it I still encounter a number of players who have this issue. Reportedly, a complete fresh install of the game after all files are removed has helped with this, but I'm not 100%. I would defer you to someone else more knowledgeable in this matter.

If you have a specific problem with anyone in particular or a group of people come to myself or one of the other members of the leadership and we can discuss it further from there to see if this is indeed a problem and/or something that needs to be looked into more. However, if this is the case please try to have specifics ready to show or tell us if you can. Thank you.

Anyways, I hope this helps a bit. Remember to keep a smile on your face and in case of complete failure honor killings have been authorized by the Klingon High Council. Proceed with discretion. Qa'pla!
