White Winter Whirl Holiday Weekend!

December 02 2012
Happy Holidays Stonewall Fleet,

It is my great honor and privileged to present to you a secret project the Fleet Morale Department has been working on.

As most of you know, Stonewall Fleet has an annual pride celebration during the month of June each year. The Admirals and Fleet Captains take great joy in putting on such a large and structured weekend full of events for the fleet. It is in that spirit this new event was built from.

I am pleased to announce that the first annual Stonewall Fleet White Winter Whirl Event will begin on Friday December 14th at 8:00 Pm EST, and Conclude on Sunday December 16th at 10:00 PM EST.

Please go to the Winter Event Page to get more details on the fun we have in store for you!

I along with the rest of Stonewall Fleet leadership look forward to spending some great quality holiday times with all of you.

=^= Admiral MrIzzy out =^=

Re: So if we lived in Star Wars, profession do you think you'd grow up to be(force based profession excluded)?

I'd probably end up in Death Star Technical Support serving The Man, although BOY would I relate with these guys:

That would require growing up though, so it's perhaps a moot question.

The Cynical Brit that is TotalBiscuit interviews Star Citizen creator Chris Roberts.

Recently I've become a little bit of a fan boy of TotalBiscuit so this is like a dream come true for me. :)

One question for you ferengi out there, I learned that you can find out where to buy commodities very cheaply by checking their info tab, which will tell you where they're produced.

Has anyone checked to see whether those 'place of origin' prices are equivalent or cheaper to freighter prices?

The commodity prices on the Freighters are the lowest available in-game, which match the 'place of origin' prices.

STOwiki has a page on Commodities.

So did anything happen with this while I was away? If anyone took a look at the TS/mumble alternatives, I'd love to hear what you thought.

If you're interested, I'm happy to give a demo to anyone that'd like to see life on the less staticy side, and help get the fleet out of the vent dark ages!

Re: Ship Names

December 01 2012
I take this VERY seriously... my first toon had a different name for each progressive ship. That became a bit cumbersome over time (given how many ships he now has), but they almost all conform to my naming convention:

a.) Adjectives ending in -ous or -ess (Righteous, Courageous, Valorous, Sagacious, Fearless, etc.)
b.) relevant to the toon and career (Astris; latin for 'star;' Renegade, Pioneer, etc)

I've not used letters yet to be honest. I always thought it strange that the Enterprise was really the only proven example of this seen, despite the fairly consistent reuse of historical names by Starfleet (almost every original Connie saw life later on in newer classes; no letters though).

I'm a canon freak, so you won't find me naming ships lightly or outside of the norms. Nothing worse than seeing someone flying around in a ship with a hot mess name. It ruins the entire effect of the ship, and the person flying it.

I was tempted to give it a go but the installed files are compressed into a format which I can't unzip. And I haven't installed a third party unzipper for years :P

Still it certainly seems to make the colours more "true" on your screenshots.

I would probably still be a "healer" of sorts because I enjoy helping people and my background is in the field of medicine but I don't know which of the classes I'd be if force based isn't available. :)

Ugh, don't remind me that my two least-favourite teams are competing for the Cup. I think they should change the name of the Western Conference to the 1980s NFC, I swear....
