The United Fleet Coalition - Giving smaller fleets a larger presence in Star Trek Online!
The last few months we have been looking into the way Cryptic has been talking about the future of the Fleets as STO moves into F2P. The Fleet related content and direction and the reality of territorial fleet control & Fleet alliances has made us think a little more about our treaties with other fleets and our ability to be a medium sized fleet with casual player. A lot of us have different areas of the game we like so it may be hard to find a 5th for a fleet action or another 3 for a PvP match or even just wanting to team up when everyone else is asleep.
Our original vision of the fleet as a casual medium sized fleet with the small fleet feel where everyone knows your name and no one cares if you had to work extra hours for a couple of months as long as you know that the fleet is your home and you are always welcome back. This vision is still really important to us and we fleet that joining up with The United Fleet Coalition (UFC) will only benefit the TOS Veterans.
As part of the UFC we will be able to pool from their resources of players when needed, tie into their inter-fleet calendar and take advantage of a larger network of like minded people in order to compete with the larger 300+ Fleets.
Here is a link to the UFC website:

We will be updating the New Members Setup page to let our fleet members know how to set up the UFC. Chat-channels as well as any other news and benefits we may get from being a part of the UFC.
The following are fleets from the Star Trek Online universe that have joined together to form the United Fleet Coalition:
1st Cavalry Division
Task Force Delta
Vulcan Kolinahr Fleet
Canadian Federation
USS Liberty Fleet
The Knights Templar Fleet
3rd Fleet International
and the Empire of Steve
Please check out some of the links and get familiar with our new coalition. Say hi and wave if you see one of our UFC members.
| Quote: | The U.F.C. is an alliance of smaller fleets that allows each of its member fleets to meet the challenges of group play in Star Trek Online without giving up their independence.
For participating Coalition fleets and their members, can expect the following from and of the U.F.C.:
•Our website serves as a gathering place for U.F.C. information, resources and coordination efforts.
•Each fleet that is a member will have one primary representative and an assistant (keeping it simple) that can speak at the U.F.C.'s Fleet Roundtable.
•Member fleets stand together yet stand independently. The Coalition is not here to tell the fleets how to manage themselves.
•Unlike some of the other fleet alliance organizations, the U.F.C. has its own website and thus remains separate from any one fleet.
The United Fleet Coalition will offer the following resources:
•A listing of participating fleets on ithe U.F.C. wevsite along with info on each.
•Ability for fleet representatives to post news from their fleet on the Coalition website for added cross-fleet communication.
•A shared Google calendar that can be jointly maintained by our member fleets and accessed by their members.This also makes it easier to share events across the fleets with the hope of increased attendance. This calendar can also be easily embedded by fleets on their own websites should they so choose.
•A private in-game chat channel will be maintained by the Coalition and be open to all members of the various member fleets. The purpose of this channel is to allow for better cross-fleet teaming and socialization. (Each fleet will have a member with admin privelages to the channel, allowing for easy addition of their fleet's members.)
•Planned "Coalition" gatherings and events that will happen on an as yet to be determined basis.
•A private admin forum is being hosted on the U.F.C. website for use by fleet representatives in coordinating discussions / announcements of planned events, general cross-fleet communications, etc.
•A facebook page has been set up to help keep those interested in the Coalition informed of its news and happenings. |
