I hopefully will be there.

Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8)

Starting 9am, but 9am of which time zone? CET? PST? WTF? :-)

I'd love to be there; sounds like some great, original fun!  Unfortunately, I work that day :(  I'll have to catch the next one.  Grown-upping sucks!

Sounds like fun. I can't promise I'll be there, but I will try!

What day was this on?

On behalf of the Tactical Readiness Department, Jacien and I will be putting together a make up event on Dec 17, 2016. Please see the link below for the event details!

Tactical Readiness Fleet Event!

Coming up on Dec 17, 2016! Pacific Standard Time (PST)

9:00am 
Greetings Ceremony
--Jacien does a spiel to greet people that are awake and ready to party!

9:30am - 10:15 
Advanced STF Speed Challenge (PvE)
--Two or more teams of 5 are formed up and are given the challenge to complete as many Advanced STFs as possible in a pre-determined time, the teams can do ground or space. Team with most completed, wins. 

10:45 am - 11:45am 
Q&A with a Shipwright
--How to improve my build and other questions! (Looking for volunteers that know their way around ship builds.)

11:45am - 12:45pm
T1vPVE
--Players are invited to work on their ship builds while others practice tactics in T1 vs PvE. Teams are assembled to run Queuess in T1 ships only. Opens with T1 vs Starbase 24, players compete to earn top-slots (first, second, third as assigned by the mission) to earn awards: Screenshot or it didn't count.

1:00pm - 1:45pm 
Red Rover Red Rover Space PvP
--Teams of players are randomly assigned to one of two PvP teams. Each team lines up in a straight line across from each other 'Red Rover' style. Then each team leader will confer with their own team to call out a player on the other team. That player's job is to barrel down and cross the line of ships without being destroyed. The team that accomplishes their kill count first wins. 

2:00pm - 2:45pm 
Faction War
--Players from each faction join in a PvP battle and the fleets go to war! Faction with most kills win, of course.

Ongoing through the day during down times and through the afternoon:
PvE Training Runs
--Help newer/inexperienced players to learn the STFs that aren't very popular for the queues.

3:00pm
Jacien does a spiel
--Closing commentary from Jacien and award ceremony to reveal player final 'scores' and awarding of SWC.

That curved monitor is sexy. How much did that set you back?

$1,400 ... steep, I know, but it's awesome.  Only issue that a few games (Starcraft 2, for example), don't allow the ultra wide-screen resolution, so you end up with black bars on either side of the screen.  I'm given to understand that it was by design so that the wider field of view didn't give people a competitive advantage in a competitive game, but it kind of sucks all the same.  That's the only one I've really had problems with so far, mind you.

Here's a link to my original gaming rig setup setup, but the PC was getting a little dated and couldn't even run the new lighting upgrade in STO, so I blew the vacation budget on upgrading my gaming rig and a new 34" curved-display :)

It was a lot of fun. Definitely want to run more often!

Just wanted to do a shout-out to @AngeliKale7, @Teknomancer, @DanaDark, @nycblkboy, @Dazz, @Audiored, @JheredTorve, and Quinn. We had a great time running STFs as a team. Thanks to NYC, Dazz, and Quinn for stepping in to fill the empty seats when they came up. We spent over 2.5 hours playing as a team and knocked out quite a few instances, including Undine Assault and Vicious Cycle, Vault Ensnared, ISA (with Parse), and others we haven't seen in a while.

Safe to say, no one plays this anymore.

I only just got one from work, I haven't yet tested it out with STO. From my understanding though, it should be similar to how the Xbox controller setup is, if that's possible to have on the PC version (I know STO developed a lot of new systems for console release).
