I am also willing to help you out with this itervlet still have a repub account and a empire account .. will try to watch this thread to log in for invites ...

Okay the USS Disco Stick makes me giggle! I love it!

Speakign of giggles and thinking of a kid tv show .. anyone ever seen a USS Tribble Rock .. (like fraggle rock)

Right now EVERY SHIP on EVERY TOON is named some kinda of way as the USS Pat Benatar ... not very star trekkie .... but a touch of me ... and not very original... maybe as more alts get more ships I will just do a female rock and roll theme lol .. the USS Lita Ford .. the USS Joan Jett ... the USS Halestorm or USS Lzzy

heh who knows enjoying the game so much!.

( I could see a USS Tina Turner ... a USS Cyndi Lauper, but for sure .. it would be IKF Grace Jones ... )

Don't wanna go boy ships but surpised I havent seen a IKF Ozzy Ozzbourne

By the way, I name my ships and characters after books I enjoyed, mainly Hyperion by Dan Simmons and Dune by Frank Herbert.

So my main is named Leto Atréides II aboard the tactical retrofit U.S.S. Hyperion (or the heavy escort carrier U.S.S. Yggdrasil).

U.S.S. Black Pizza? :/

Thanks, Seannewboy. You have an EXCELLENT idea. I will make a note to log on Repub side during that time. Thanks again! I will also pin this forum topic so it doesn't get lost at some point. :)

Edit: This forum topic can be used for invites needed on either side-Republic (KOS) or Empire (LOS). Anyone can also send me a private message via the website if they prefer that method to posting here for needed invites. Just specify which faction and time you are planning on logging in to the character that needs the invite so I know when and where to log in also. ;)

My surprise to finding this thing in the beginning human zone in the game. Who would have thought at level 12 you could be facing such intimidating foes!

One more I liked :)

The beautiful Grove :D the home of my main character, Fayte. It also shows the massive environment scaling!

I thought it might be useful to set up a forum posting so people could ask for invites.

For instance on 9/9/12 i have one:

Elk'eloe, a Jedi Knight would like an invite for KOS, i intend to be in game with this character next on 9/11/12 about 5:30 pm till 7:30 pm EST.

I know how you feel, I got a Back Brace as well, I had been hoping for a cape or something Visible that people would see, guess I have to go find one or something, maybe try finding a Guild Armorer and buying one, if it is better than what I have, I mean, if it is, then yeah, I'll buy it, but, if it isn't and it's just for show or something, I'll stick with the invisible back brace thank you.

Anybody got any stats for any capes or what not from the Guild Armorers, very much appreciate it if I could at least see if the capes give any stat boosts or anything.

Here are some submissions of mine. Simple, stately and dignified. :)

The system the Sally Ride found herself in was small and sparsely inhabited, mostly by miners on the second planet and scattered through the system's asteroid belts. Traffic was low, mostly limited to freighters and sparse aerospace patrols. The Sally Ride took up a location at the nearest planet to the star, taking advantage of its position on the opposite side of the sun from the inhabited planet to cover its approach. Engineering and science crews immediately began warp engine repairs while the ship hid above the first planet's northern magnetic pole. The ship's shuttle complement had been prepped to fly in a tight formation, altering their energy output and sensor reflections to appear to be a larger vessel, in case the Sally Ride needed a decoy to distract pursuers.

The ruse turned out to be necessary sooner than the bridge crew had hoped. Shortly after the Sally Ride entered the system, so did a flotilla of unknown vessels that would prove to be extensively modified KDF ships. Direct sensor probes were not an option, as they would have given the Sally Ride's position away, but from observation it became clear that the KDF ships' sensor suites had been massively augmented, at the expense of their tactical systems. Other modifications had probably been made, but were not readily apparent in the short encounter. The ships immediately began powerful, wide-range scans of the system, spreading out along the orbit of the second planet to cover all angles.

While the Sally Ride was still in the solar blind spot, the shuttle formation warped to the edge of the system and returned on another vector, hoping to interrupt the methodical search. This was partially successful: KDF aerospace patrols immediately pursued the disguised shuttle formation, and part of the flotilla of sensor ships broke off from the general search to deep scan the area at the edge of the system where the shuttles had originated. However, this only bought some time: half of the flotilla continued to spread along the second planet's orbit and close the blind spot.

Before the aerospace patrols got close enough to see through the shuttle ruse, the formation broke and engaged them. This was still insufficient to distract the flotilla of larger ships from their search, and before long, the shuttles had to leave the system. Warp engine repairs were completed and shield repairs barely begun when the orbiting general search finally closed the solar blind spot and scanned the Sally Ride. The ships that had been searching the edge of the system immediately closed on the first planet at top speed.

Lieutenant Orenn attempted to bluff the commander of the modified flotilla, pretending to be a damaged Gorn vessel fooled by the shuttle formation into hiding. The unknown commander played along with the ruse long enough to enter weapons range, at which point he abruptly demanded a surrender, correctly identifying the Sally Ride by name. With no chance to win in a straight fight, the ship attempted to escape directly through the approaching enemy formation. The shuttles (who had earlier returned in a failed attempt to distract the ships approaching the Ride) attacked the formation's flank, while the Waverider was filled with photon torpedoes and launched as an autopilot kamikaze attack.

The modified vessels must have detected the Waverider's cargo, because it was immediately forced away from the formation by powerful repulsor beams, keeping the Klingon ships out of the blast radius. This did, however, put it behind the Sally Ride, so that when it was detonated, the shockwave sent the Starfleet vessel hurtling past her aggressors on an unpredictable vector. Shuttle pilots were retrieved by transporter and their vessels auto-destructed, putting the Klingon vessels in disarray long enough for the Sally Ride to escape.

The ship was, predictably, heavily damaged in the confrontation. Shield systems are essentially slag, and the enhancements to the secondary deflector have mostly burned out. The warp nacelles took some damage in the blast, but thanks to repairs are still improved, operating at 89 percent of factory standards. Casualties have been reported on all decks, and hull breaches on four, six, and eight. Sensors have not detected pursuit as of yet, but there's no question that the KDF knows we're here.

OOC Notes:
Once again, a very fun event! Sorry the report was so long: I tried to cut it down, but a lot happened in this scene. Feel free to append personal reports and information about your character's activities during and after the scene, even if you weren't there.

There will be another event next Saturday at 6pm EST, unless you guys suggest a different time. Feel free to show up early if you would like your characters to just chat for a while before the official conference begins; I'll generally be ready to host a couple of hours in advance, and the conferences can happen in anybody's lounge, not just mine.

Does anybody want me to post full-on logs of these events? I generally keep them for my own reference, and I could clean out the tells and OOC and post them so that people who weren't there will know what went on at each event.

I'm the one on the right. No, the other right. Ah forget it, I'm a mechanical jelly! :D

Got my first back item as a personal story reward...

It's an invisible back brace. :pinch:

ROFL-LMAO!!!!

The person who said that needs to be banned...and hopefully they were.

I don't watch "Main" chat at all. For forty levels now I have only been exposed to one comment and that was pretty harmless. Someone who we were fighting next to said in /say "Hey, you guys want to join a real guild?" I didn't see this comment until shortly after that person had already left our area, I didn't bother to whisper the person for an explanation. I was a recruiting officer in EQ for our guild for many years and my experience taught me that this was just an over-zealous, young person trying to headhunt for their guild. My only thought on the matter was "this person is very young they haven't the maturity to understand their mistake in making such a comment, to someone who is mature and experienced." Some things like this are just not that serious. Then other things such as the comment in Main Chat above is.

The reason I don't monitor or participate in Main Chat is because they talk about everything except the game and when they do discuss the game or helping someone it's extremely rare and short-lived. I am glad there are people here and in other guilds who do enjoy the misc chit chat with other people....I'm just not one of those people any longer....the person who said "Faggot" would have made me mad at the time and bruised my gaming day. Read the chat top to bottom and find in there where any of that has anything to do with GW2 or helping someone. It's all irrelevant (bs) and rederick to me.

Sufficed to say...for those of you who have the time to enjoy and monitor that channel and for reporting things such as this...I'm proud of you.....but know there are others who could care less about that little imp (and others like them) and have decided to turn away from the Main Chat Channel and the ignorance to enjoy this game.

Both sides are justified in doing what they are doing....or not doing. The Terms of Service and A-Net will take care of most of the major headaches...as reported by mature and observant players. :)

Have a blessed day all :)

Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Specialization: Operations/Sensors

Additional Details: Kean is the product of a Bajoran father and a half Cardassian, half Bajoran mother. Raised on Bajor, his appearance and Cardassian biology made him a frequent target of abuse and prejudice. Kean sought a place in Starfleet to escape his life on Bajor, where he didn't fit in. Kean started his career as an engineering crewman but became a sensors officer after two years, a position he has maintained for the past six years.
