@pascalb1

Greetings to all Fleet Officers,

We had a good start into 2012, getting everything settled for Free-To-Play starting on the 17th of January. The first All Hands Fleet Meeting of this year was attended by most active members and some guests too, while we had a nice time to meet each other again ("Welcome to our returned veterans!") and also for the first time ("Welcome our new members!") we discussed some very important decisions regarding the fleet as a whole and also THE 300's place in CHECK6.
Also please note the newspost before this one, it contains some interesting information about F2P events. We want to incorporate them into our own calendar for F2P.

THE 300

State of the Fleet
The Office of the Fleet Marshal decided to reestablish both departments SECTION 31 and S.W.O.R.D. again. This means we have a new Chain of Command and some old ranks reinstated again. The rank structure in game will look like this:
1. Reserve Officer (Probation or AWOL)
2. Fleet Officer (General Membership)
3. Agent (S.W.O.R.D. or Section 31)
4. Commander (S.W.O.R.D. or Section 31)
5. Director (S.W.O.R.D. or Section 31)
6. Advisory Council
7. Office of The Fleet Marshal
A graphic representation of the Chain of Command can be found here! If you are a S.W.O.R.D. or Section 31 Agent, Commander or Director, please make sure to note in your status and member comments on the in-game fleet roster your complete rank with the corresponding department.

SECTION 31
Our intelligence (PvE/RP) department again resurfaces as the stalwart organization it once was, now lead by newly appointed Director of Section 31 Noella Kened. Under her new influence Section 31 has prepared several crucial missions and a major operations calendar. Special teams like our newly founded Elite STF-Unit lead by Commander of Section 31 Chad Yoder will assist all members in getting their borg tech. Regular scheduled events like the STF-Wednesday, Fleet Actions, Special Foundry Operations or the infamous Thunderdome Challenges along with special events like the TOS/TNG Memorial Events will let you experience the game in a friendly and team-orientated manner. Applicants that hold the rank of Fleet Officer and want to transfer to Section 31 should register HERE!

S.W.O.R.D. (Special Warfare Operational Reconaissance Detachment)
I TAN I EPI TAS! (Return Victorious or Dead!) is again to be heard in the arenas - THE 300 are back, our PvP-department enters the fray under the newly appointed Director of S.W.O.R.D. Tao. He is backed up by a solid core of Elite PvP experts, the also newly appointed Commanders of S.W.O.R.D. Kerstin Grut, Kimberley, Drak and Praxis form the tip of our spear in our respected PvP-Teams. Among hosting events like the STO-League, Shuttle Wars and Training Sessions, all members can turn to those fine Officers for advice regarding skill and ship setup.  If you are a Fleet Officer and interested in joining S.W.O.R.D. make sure to register HERE!

Promotions
Congratulations to all promoted fleet members, I am also very proud to welcome all Reserve Officers that joined before the 17th of december at their new rank of Fleet Officer. Congratulations again! Please allow some time for all promotions to take effect, thank you for your patience!
Also check out the new bio registration and signature application form at the main navbar under Fleet Information.


Fleet Uniform
We celebrate the new year with a set of new fleet uniforms! We decided to break with the strict uniform code of only 'free pieces' for the fleet uniform. As of now we only have one free obtainable fleet uniform, this one is accessible from your local tailor at the fleet uniform option at the custom uniform screen. In addition we will shortly have a full set of alternative uniform variants for each rank and departments. These alternative sets will contain 'unlockable parts', meaning some parts will not be freely available. Also expect more subtle differences than a full spectrum variation (our colours are black and maroon), as we are known for our black uniforms. You will find a complete new thread about official uniform variations soon at the Fleet News - Priority One forum. this decision has not been made to promote the c-store, rather it should give players with access to those parts some more freedom to choose from - this is purely optional, there is no problem with sticking to the new standard black uniform from the tailor. As a reminder, the fleet uniform is expected to be worn at all official events, missions and meetings that are scheduled unless noted otherwise. Please feel free to wear any clothing you like when 'off duty'!

Voice Communication
Among our traditional ventrilo communication device, we now also have a TS3 variant available - you can check both systems in our forum. However this will be only a temporarily solution as we have access to a third system that comes with our website for free, this experimental technology is rumoured to contain top secret borg tech and comes by the codename 'Mumble'. We are still having a series of public field tests but expect this to be our new and only voice communication device in the next couple of month.

CHECK 6 Gaming
Our multi-gaming guild CHECK6 now has a solid footing in WoT, BF3 and SWTOR, to further promote the cross-gaming in the whole guild, we decided on having special gaming days. On these days we will all try to get together in one specific game to maximize the gaming experience and also meet old and new friends.
Mondays: Battlefield 3 - Check6 gaming server
Tuesdays: World of Tanks
Wednesday: Star Trek Online STF Joint Ops

Make sure to check the website calendar and the in-game calendar for detailed and updated information on all scheduled events!

Salutations to THE 300
Let me finish the super-extended-new-year post with thanking all of you for your dedication and support! I am honoured to have the privilege to serve such a unique and honoured fleet and all of its fine officers - You are THE 300 and THIS IS SPARTA!


Happy New Year and Clear Skies my friends!

Regards
Mary Lene Drake
Fleet Marshal of THE 300

UPDATE: SEASON V IS NOW LIVE ON HOLO

fleetmeeting_09122011.png

Greetings to all Fleet Officers,

great events cast their shadows upon us - Free-to-Play is now scheduled for the 17th of January 2012 and the current Tribble build will go live on the Holo-Shard in about a week. This has the side-effect of a near-to-zero activity throughout all operations. Standard operation procedures still guarantee the functionality of vital systems like bank security. Due to this situation the 30-day-AWOL-rule is suspended until the launch of F2P. To be well prepared for F2P there are still a couple of issues that needs to be adressed.

As it is the Fleet Marshal's right and privilege I hereby call all listed Officers, regardless of rank and status, to an ALL HANDS FLEET MEETING. It is vital for the fleet's survival to gather all possible operatives and assets we can call upon, therefore attendance of this meeting is by all means mandatory!

Members without an active subscription, but who are already decided to rejoin THE 300 as active members should attend the meeting in our secured vent channel. Please note our new vent server setting (click for info). Members with active subscription are invited to the meeting aboard the fleet's flagship, U.S.S. Adrenaline in game - as we expect a couple of allied ambassadors, make sure to wear your fleet uniform!!

ALL HANDS FLEET MEETING
When: Friday 09 DEC 2011 at 2:30 pm LA / 5:30 pm NY / 10:30 pm UK / 11:30 pm Germany
Where: U.S.S. Adrenaline and/or vent

Agenda DEC Fleet Meeting

1.1 Alliance Meetings: PvP Alliance, Ad Astra, SAS ambassadors
1.2 Possible new Alliance votings
1.3 PvP Alliance and STO League

2.1 Current State of the Game and Fleet
2.2 F2P

3.1 Fleet Events ideas and responsibilities
3.2 Agree on an Event Calendar for F2P
3.3 Promotions and Special Assignments

4.1 Website and Forum
4.2 Guild News
4.3 Other games (BF3, SW-KTOR, WoT)

I am really looking forward to all the new things that STO has in store for us - let us stand together and make THE 300 the best fleet in game!

"To boldly go where no man has gone before!"

Regards

Mary Lene Drake
Fleet Marshal of THE 300
Chief of Special Intelligence & Technology
