It sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe next time the event can be announced in advance so that people will know to be on for it.

This event was one of the best Fleet event I have ever attended!

I congratulate my fellow participants, and most especially, the organizers, for their exceptional execution of the event. It ran easily, smoothly, professionally, and was a LOT of fun.

Even the event photos are awesome, and I had the pleasure of running some fleet mark missions immediately following the event with other participants. What fun!

Many thanks again, and happy holidays to all!

Sorry, I've only just seen this thread.

Congratulations, that's really good news. And listening to the album, it's excellent, no wonder it's selling plenty.

Hope it continues to do well.

Weren't able to attend the second Trek Trivia Event? Think that you're the knowledge keeper of all things Trek? Think that you'd have given Jacien a run for his Zen?

Find out how you'd have fared in the Trek Trivia event! Enjoy this complimentary sampling of ten of the fifty questions that were posed during the event. Compare your answer with the answers in the bottom of the post!

  1. What was the name of the sister-ship of the USS Enterprise-D?
  2. What is the title given to the leader of a Kazon sect?
  3. In the movie: Star Trek the Motion Picture, what space probe became V'Ger?
  4. What was the name of Doctor Zimmerman's holographic iguana?
  5. In the Original Series episode: "Arena", how does Captain Kirk defeat the Gorn?
  6. Who is Garak's father?
  7. What is the name of the entity that kills Lt. Tasha Yar?
  8. Unscramble this location in the Star Trek universe: KCELHDOO
  9. Finish the following Star Trek quote: "Excuse me… Excuse me? I’d just like to ask a question… What does God need ____ _ ________ ?
  10. List the following Starfleet officers (Archer, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway) from YOUNGEST to OLDEST, based on the age at which they achieved the rank of Captain?

Click the 'spoiler' heading below to view the answers!



Remember, it's not just about knowing the answer without resorting to Google, it's also about having the fastest fingers! If you did well, make sure that you join us for the next run of the event, to be announced in the near future!

If your knowledge of Trek is somewhat lacking, be sure to brush up on your skills and be ready to dominate the next event!

Thanks again to all who participated!

All i can add is that Makeb will add planetary quests, its unclear if there will be any class ones. In other words it wont just be an endgame planet like Ilum.

Re: Getting to know you.

Hi Tim (and everyone else),

I'm Lew, I'm 36 and originally from Caerphilly in Sth Wales, UK. I'm currently now living in a small town called Stone in Staffordshire (still in the UK).

I work full time in Logistics but I'm working in my spare time to complete a degree in I.T & Computing, after which I aim to do a PGCE so that I can then teach it. My long term goal is that when this has all been done to try and move out of the UK, I would love to try and setting in the USA. How that is going to pan out exactly I do not know but I've a few things to get done before that.

I've been a science fiction fan for longer than I can remember, I think it started with Doctor Who when I was very young and went from there. I'm pretty new to the MMO world. I heard STO was coming and had a go at LOTRO. I'm not really into the whole Middle Earth thing so that one came and went. I joined STO and bought the pack etc etc. I left it for about a year and have recently picked up where I left off. It's changed a hell of a lot so I'm having to learn it all again. I'm still not 100% sure what I'm doing on it but that's all part of the fun. I treat it as a bit of fun and a distraction, I don't get too serious about it and I really don't understand those that seem to loose their tempers with others on there. I'm happy enough to give group missions a go but my experience of the game since the changes is not that good at all. There's where the fun lies I'd say.

I have 3 characters on the game, one of each type, my Tactical is currently the one that's in Stonewall as that's the main one I use, need to get the others on here too really.

When I'm not working or playing STO I like to travel, I've seen quite a lot of the world but there's always more to see. I enjoy ancient history, new age theories and astronomy.

Hope to bump into more of you on the game.

Lol, that's pretty funny. I love how Takei entered and left from the window curtains.

Re: Doctor Who?...

Very interesting update. I wonder how they're gonna work it into the story line. The TOS/Enterprise feel is very there.
