I was actually thinking a little more than showing off my work. I wanted to start writing guides for ToR. I have been working on one for the site and having a lot of fun with it. So I wanted to continue even after I was done with that.

There are many free hosting solutions that exist. However, I don't have a lot of experience with most of them.

If your goal is to essentially showcase your work, www.wordpress.com might be a good option. They have thousands of customizable templates, help documentation and is fairly easy to use.

Probably the best resource for canon information is the Memory Alpha wiki. If you're interested in the "expanded universe" via the various novels or other officially licensed works, there's also a Memory Beta wiki with loads of info. There's also the Daystrom Institute Technical Library which has tons of info on ships and tech, as well as species and personnel, with loads of pictures.

I'm not much of a fan-fic writer, but I still find these sites to be really useful in my general nerdery, and for pen-and-paper RPGs.

XP/Firefox and I don't have the problem, either.

I know we have quite a few tech oriented people so I wanted to ask for some advice. My income isn't huge and I wanted to create a website. I'm a graphic designer as a hobby (went to school but had to leave... hope to start up again eventually). I can do the coding thing but it in no way comes natural lol.

What I basically need to know if there are any free sites out there that anyone has experienced that are decent? I've checked around but felt really iffy. I thought about doing like Blogger that looks like a website but then again it boils down to my not having enough Tylenol in order to code it to look how I want haha.

Any advice or ideas are greatly appreciated!

I hope I'm not out of place starting this thread here.

Though I have some knowledge of the vast universe that is Star Trek, mostly from watching episodes of Next Gen when I was a kid with my Grandpa (he had the hots for Troy) and from diligently watching Voyager (the 'hip' series) when I was in high school.
I know so little about spiefics: Star Fleet history, aliean classes and history, fleet information, Planets, Federation protocol. So on and so forth. This is an issue for me because I love writing fanfic. I've done so in much easier fandoms, but if Im going to write any Star Trek stories... I want to do it right.

I was hoping this thread could be used as a resource... quick questions asked and answered. Links to great Star Trek information outlets shared (responsibly), and maybe a few opinions asked for and offered. I know I'm going to need all the help I can, but who knows maybe others might find need for it to.

I did not see if this has been asked. It would be nice if we could list our characters Crew Skills and chosen Advanced Class.

LOVE IT!! :woohoo:

I've been getting a 404 Error everytime I click "Click here to add your first character." Any thoughts?

Have you done something to earn the scorn of the website? :/

1) Even when I check "remember me" on the login page, it's not keeping me logged in. I've enabled cookies and other websites seem to remember me, but I need to login here each time I come to visit. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix/adjust this to keep me actually logged in? I'm using Firefox on PC with Windows Vista.

This is a problem that people have reported on and off for years. I've never been able to track down the cause.

I use Windows Vista and Firefox and it works perfectly for me.

In Firefox's menu, click Options, then go to the Privacy tab and click on remove individual cookies. This will bring up the browser for cookies. In the search bar enter 'stonewallfleet' or 'knightsofstonewall' and see if you have cookies saved there. The main one you'll be looking for has a name and content that's basically a bunch of random numbers and letters.

If you find it, it should be working.

Really wish there was a flowchart for all the choice permutations. Just big-picture. :)

For me it's fun not knowing the end story before I get there. I'm going light on all my toons and it's really fun to see the dialog options I have with them. I won't say to much as I don't want to spoil things but I even helped Corso out since I was full light on my smuggler.

The DIV needs to be tweaked to make it line up right. But, Nick has had more pressing issues that are going to have to be resolved.

I understand more pressing issues. Thanks for the quick work-arounds!

But I'm curious... what's the point of playing a Bounty Hunter that's Light? Why not play a Smuggler?

Mako, the first bounty hunter companion :)! She's a bit of a carebear and has swayed quite a few bounty hunters to the Light Side to unlock her story quests. I'm not a bounty hunter, but I've been grouping with one a lot. Mako rocks.

I've noticed Kira has a number of quests for me (I'm hanging full-right with the Light), but are you suggesting if I'd chosen Dark responses she'd have different storyline quests for me?

BEAST WAAARS!

Sorry. :3

Such a long downtime for a patch that seems to not do very much. :p

Awesome!

I bought this about a month or so after it came out. I had only played ultima at this point. I rolled on tattooine with my fat wookie... as an emp.... dirty rebel scum.. and was very happy with the game for a LONG time. I wish I could get ahold of some of my old guildies but havn't seen any of them since most of em switched to EVE or EQII. I was a master of many professions on SWG, i'll admit to playing the holo grind game.. and Krayat Hunting... my favs had to be chef and Commando though. I loved me that flame thrower
