Shooting Ships With the Shipwrights

We've relaunching the livestreams (yet again) learning from the mistakes (mine mostly) of the past (like doing a livestream where my mic was muted THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF!) as well as listening your feedback (like turn on your mic!). We've reformatted the livestream and we're really excited about it.

The official launch date will be 4/16/2016 the Saturday after Season 11.5 is released. But we have been all over Tribble, mining, experimenting and doing all sorts of very rude things to the Borg in Ker'rat, especially to their rear flank.

During the livestream we'll cover two main topics relating to the episode and we'll also do a ship build during the livestream. So Stay Tuned for information but in the mean time here's some details about our first episode

Shooting Ships With the Shipwright
Episode 1: 11.WHAT THE SKILL TREE?!

When: 4/16/2016 at 2 PM Eastern/6 PM UTC

Hosted by:

Topic 1 – Skill Tree and Ultimate Active Abilities
Topic 2 – Strategist Secondary Specialization
Live Build – The Khopesh

We have set up a new Twitch Channel where we'll be streaming from. it's now
https://www.twitch.tv/theshipwrights. So please update your subscriptions. And our videos will be posted to the Stonewall Fleet Youtube Channel.

Finally: The Shipwrights are looking for a new Shipwright! Those “???” aren’t there just for decorations.

We are looking to add a member to our team! If you are interested in helping the fleet with ship builds and helping out during the livestream we are interested in you!

What we’re looking for:

• An understanding of class abilities and BOFF abilities
• An understanding of the DOFF system
• An understanding of the different special space sets
• At least 3 crafting schools at level 15
• Knowledge of different ship classes and categories
• Knowledge of the skill trees, active ability
• Ability to participate with tests on Tribble (gold/lifetime membership required)
• Able to participate in Livestreams (usually on Saturday afternoons, at 2PM eastern)

If you are interested in joining our ranks, send a message to WhiteOnmyoji and we'll be in touch!

I know that there is no immediate date, though, based on the success of the last live stream I hope that you all are able to join us. It will be fun, caddy, and interesting. And at one point Aikune will make me his whipping boy, by making me an offer that I will willingly refuse, but grudgingly do.

So enjoy the show.

11.5 RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED

I have updated the initial post with the date and time of the livestream.

REMINDER: We are looking for an additional shipwright to join us during livestreams. Details are listed in the first post.

Just a reminder 11.5 launches tomorrow and the livestream will be on Saturday at 2 PM.

If I knew half of what you described you could add the Zombie to your ranks. But I don't and my Saturday Mornings are taken up with running a business.

Here's a few basic builds with the new skill system. We'll go over them more in detail on Saturday durring the Livestream

First one is offensive, second is defensive and third is utilitarian

Fleet,

The shipwrights met again today to finalize the last bits for the livesteam. I might be biased, though it poses to be a great time! Listen for one of us trying out their new deep "NPR radio voice," watch for a new graphics upgrade to the livestream (the theater mode tested great), and an in-depth review of the new skill system.


We look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow on twitch at twitch.tv/theshipwrights.

Hey all,

we have over 30 people at the livestream today!!! Yeah it's not Cryptic numbers but still damn nice.

It's not uploaded on YouTube in 6 15 min parts. And you can watch them here:

Congrats to Captchaddox for winning the Na'Kuhl ships.

Next month we'll be covering Cruisers and what you can do live and pump out the damage

Thanks for streaming, it got me interested in the game and into the fleet! The information was informative and fun for newbies like me as well as the indepth stuff that you guys were covering that was great fort he long standing player I am sure!

Thanks again for joining us!
We had a blast... hope you did too!

Thanks so much for recording your live cast. TBH, I got kind of pissed after the new skill tree thing came out and messed the amount of research and work I did with the old ones (plus screwing up my skill tray *AUGH!!*) that I swore off the game for a week. LOL!!

The livecast and the pict of it really helped a lot. Thankfully I still have some respec tokens to spare. :-)

Cheers!

Are these skill trees still the go to guides ?

What does utilitarian mean ?

Hey there! I am going to answer your questions out of order.

So to explain the new system, you have to think outside the box of the standard "Science, Tactical, and Engineering" roles, since this tree has redefined them. For example, I have two science captains, one is offensive, tact focused, while the other is purely science, and both do amazing, it is all dependent on how I build my ship and play style around it.

That all said, utilitarian is for someone who needs a boosts from power levels, who likes to tank and survive, and most of their DPS comes from EPS and overcharging.
