That would be a taurus. I use to make sims of my bf and then killing them off when we split. Lol

I hope he didn't haunt you!

I've got 2 toons:

Xander Conti, a liberated borg human. His ships were mostly named Infinitus. I used to roleplay on a website nation-building game called NationStates (www.nationstates.net). And my country's name was Infinitus, a nation with a history of genetic engineering. The Chancellor was Conti. So there is some history with him and the name there. It also gave him a link to him being a science officer.

Iolyn: He's an alien (still working on his back-story). He's on his first ship, the USS Charleston. I'm from South Carolina and will be using the names of different cities as the names of his ships (the order having something to do with history, population, cultural significance, etc.). I may even mix in the surnames of some of the influential people in SC history in there -- for example, I'm thinking about naming his Delta Flyer the USS Rutledge. I'll probably work in the South Carolina connection into Iolyn's backstory, too.

I *HEART* the Prometheus. I haven't quite gotten there on my tactical officer (I just started playing him a couple days ago). But If they're going multi-vector on it, I might be moaning more than squealing. Is it hot in here to anyone else?

If you want to see another fan made Trek series with gay characters check out:

This is a really cool topic!

My main character is Jacien J. Mandrake; Jacien is a takeoff of my first name and my middle initial is J. for James. Mandrake was my favorite cartoon character from the 1986 cartoon series;"Defenders of the Earth." I haven't yet written a bio for him yet but he is gay and I fancy him sort of a Wesley Crusher or Mark MacHenry type, sort of more than human. He's also a Sci.


I won't count the starter ships but the rest are as follows:

USS Copernicus- Aurora class variant: named after a famous astronomer.

USS Prospero- Olympic class variant: named after a powerful wizard from Shakespere's "The Tempest."

USS Aurora- Discovery variant: Named after a powerful Ancient ship class in the Stargate universe.

USS Oberon: Luna Variant: (my favorite!) According to cannon all Luna class vessels are supposed to be named after moons in the Sol system. There's been the Luna, Titan, Chiron, and Ganymede to name a few. There are at least 145 celestial bodies in our solar system classified as moons so there was plently of names ot choose from. Oberon is both a moon in this solar system and is also the mythical King of the Fairies in Shakespear's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," as well as ancient European folklore.

USS Axiom: Nimbus Class: I chose this name because the deep range sci vessels remind me of the ship from Wall-E and I thought it sounded cool.

USS Mobius: Intrepid Refit: Don't use this ship much but this was another ship name I liked and always wanted to use. Its also the name for my Eng's
Emissary class cruiser and cuz I think the ship configuration fits with the name.

USS Wayfarer: Magellan class- Nickname for the Greco/Roman messenger of the Gods and patron diety of all travellers, Mercury/Hermes. I also did in in honor of a friend of mine from High School who used to be the head of our Star Trek club but has recently joined a cult and doesn't want anything to do with star trek anymore. The Wayfarer was his ship in RPG.

My Eng is a joined Trill RALH named Jadzaeus Vox (my own tribute to Jadzia Dax) and I used a lot of the same ship names that I did for my Sci. His current ship is the USS Morning Star (Soveriegn class) because that was the name I chose for my ship when my High School Star Trek club started doing star trek RPG.

My Tac is a joined Trill Commander named Cobalt because that's my favorite color. I'm planning on making a story for him involving section 31 and the name of his symbiote has been lost to time because it is so old. Cobalt is his intelligence codename and he's been on an extended deep cover assignment as a Mercenary in the Orion Syndicate. My BF chose the name for my Akira and I cant remember what it is right now cuz I'm at work but its Japanese for 'sure kill.'

Brandon, where did you find this???? And what's going on with it. There's no mention of it on the Calendar, but Stahl posted something about 3/10 a week or so ago. Any news?

I've barely been able to play at all recently. I could barely even do the new weekly on STO last night without going past my bedtime. : / I'm going to have a new schedule in March, though. Hopefully I'll be able to get on more after that.

You can try all the tanks from a single account, in fact it's easier from a single account. If you save your gold and buy a month of premium, you'll get 150% xp and creds on whichever tank you use, so you can research different tanks faster. The time you spend on another account gaining XP and credits could be spent getting even more XP and credits on your first account and put towards trying the different tanks. (Unless this is just a tank slot thing, then it's just 150g to buy a new slot and you get that every day.)

*puts sock in Brandon's mouth to stop the squealing*

;)

Where did this shot come from?

I may have to change from my Defiant back to my Prometheus if it's going to be worth it :D

Mil needs a new ship, Hopefully Nua gets his new Dkyr soon as well.

yeah also its only the npc's who get them the characters dont :(

Eeeeeeeee!

1 Honorary.

I like the Phase II webisodes, and I love the fact that paramount is allowing it to be shot. Also the fact that some of the TOS cast is in it sometimes as guest stars...I think the guy that plays Chekov is in it in one episode.

When do you guys play?
I been on all the time lately. I'd love to join you guys in game sometime.

In addition to Peregrine_Lee, I'm also witch131313...I have 2 now, because I just love trying all the different vehicles.

Enjoy!

Posted this on STO, feel free to answer here:
_____

I'm curious to see what names folks gave to Captains and BOs in species that do not have many names provided in canon. I'm just a bit of language geek is all. :-)

These are the species I'm particularly interested:

Pakleds

Caitans

Benzites

Boleans

Saurians

Rigelians

Orions

Nausicaans

_____

I have:
Pakled: Eglindrod (male)

Bolean: Rogg Brennixx (male)

Rigelian: Chishenith (female, about to be added)

Orion: L'Darinus Igren-Rhis Sranagar (male), V'delen Magrisoh Karalsa (female), Vevren Yan D'iolannis (female), Gayla Zh'vrot (female, yes I stole the first name, but if there can be more than one John in the world, why not more than one Gayla? :-) )

Nausicaan: Rhothigaas, Agdarh, Tevrhenet (all male, of course)

Thanks for sharing
Peace

Expanding in to other games is a good idea but I will be staying with STO my self
This website as a central hub is a great idea though.
I played Shh(WOW) for 6 years i dip in on occation still but I quit for STO the mmo I have always wanted.
I find life is to busy for 2 mmos and I am in for the long haul with this game.
Dont let that stop you though :D I am sure you are up to it :D

Quote by Seannewboy

Personally i have no worries about expanding as long as the Fleet leadership does not try to do to much individually, i.e. trying to wear to many hats.

By the By, speaking of expanding, i hope we have some plan for what to do when(if?) more factions are added to STO. Most of my feds will hit the grinder as soon as the Romulan(i hope) faction comes online.

I know there's a huge contingent of Romulans in our fleet (dirty little spies each and everyone of you!), I believe even bigger than those that want to play Klingon. We'll definitely have our own guild on the Romulan side, but I have no idea what to name it (what is "stonewall" in Romulan?). The more people we have playing it, the more resources we will dedicate to that faction (god, I sound like Cryptic.).

As Cryptic roles out more content for the Klingon faction, I would really like to strengthen our House as well. I know there's a good number of people who try very hard to run STFs as Klingons and have a lot of trouble getting teams together due to the low number of RA5s and above and differences in time zones. The Sorties are really find, imho, and more people need to give Klingon a chance again. It's changed quite a bit.

How would you guys like to see us do when the Romulan faction comes out? Any ideas on how to get more people interested in playing Klingon? What would you guys think about faction specific officers?
