Dear fellow Fleeties,
First of all, on behalf of the Department of Fleet Morale, I would like to send out a huge heartfelt thank you for the active participation by so many of you in the Stonewall Screenshot Challenge! It was absolutely delightful to see the high level of collaboration, fun, and giggles that was shared between everyone. I firmly believe that in a few years’ time our wounded souls will be mended sufficiently from the extreme low number of comets per cubic lightyear that we can even laugh about the comet-hunting part.
In my previous post, I promised to share a few of the most funny, epic, or beautiful screenshots you all made… However, there are so many cool ones that it is impossible to pick just a handful to share without doing right by all the rest. The complete set of all the pictures can thus be accessed for your enjoyment here:

IMTrick for the following beautiful poem:
Sonnet for a Friend
The Azure Nebula has stars so blue
That I once thought that nothing could compare
To that amazing sapphire-tinted hue,
Until I saw the color of your hair.
That shade, like you, it lifts the troubled soul
Much like the cobalt ocean lifts a boat
And though your currents often shift and roll
You’re part of why this fleet remains afloat.
Though you may have a storm for every calm
A ship cannot make progress with no wind,
So I have not even the slightest qualm
In calling you a deeply cherished friend.
Though many blues there undoubtedly be,
Yours, my friend, is most admired by me.
*Pinches a tear of love and joy from my eyes and regains composure*
Truly sublime IMTrick, and you won a Ferengi D’Kora Marauder for it, congratulations!
But wait… there is more! Every participant will receive an in-game item as a token of appreciation for participating in this event. I will personally contact all the winners and other participants on how they shall collect or receive their in-game prizes.
Once again, thank you all and congratulations... even though I feel that the biggest prize here was won by the Department of Fleet Morale in the form of all your oh-so-enthusiastic participation.
Finally, a BIG thank you to @viethai and @kierix for their generous prize donations!
