STO: TrekBBS Armada and House of TrekBBS - Fleet discussion and FAQ

[Scout101]

Nothing, really. Cadet is just what it defaults to when you send the invite. In general, you should get promoted to Crewman (for random players) once you've been in the fleet a little while, participate in the projects, don't go bank-happy, etc.

For members who are also posters on TrekBBS and have long-established accounts, it should go right up to the middle, default level (officer?) after that brief "probation" window.

for the most part, we're good at sending the invites when asked, but unless you then request the promotion, no one really goes back and looks. If you got overlooked, just post in here, and I'm sure you'll get promoted.

Anything past the standard level, we don't really move around a lot. Goal is to pretty much just have the fleet admirals, and then enough Junior Adjuncts (or whatever we named them) to cover the time zones to the point where there's a chance you might find someone if you need fleet help, access to the bank goodies, etc.

Thanks for the feedback. It wasn't not getting promoted that I was wondering about, I seemed to have gotten promoted, then demoted, then promoted again, then finally demoted all within a few hours. I thought I was gonna have to clean the latrines or something.

eta: I like buying from the fleet stores is why I was concerned.

That brings me to a question I've been meaning to ask... What's the criteria used when promoting a Cadet to Crewman?

Quote from the first post:

Cadet is a trial rank, that gives us time to get to know you in game.
The best way to get a higher rank is to interact with us, play missions, PvP or just talk in chat.
As soon as we are sure that you are not here to troll, flame or rob the fleet bank clean you will get a promotion to Crewman.
if you feel that you are overdue for a promotion feel free to ask us for an evaluation. Someone probably just overlooked your contributions to the fleet activities unintentionally.

Crewman is the standard membership rank.
You will get extended bank access and invite rights.
For non board members this is the maximum rank.

I've been here 12 years. Is there Super Admiral yet?

We have just unlocked Romulan Embassy's Recruit Tier I, which means everyone gets to buy an additional Duty Officer Assignment Slot for 50,000 fleet credits! That is, you will get 21 assignments instead of just the usual 20 assignment slots.

How to claim:
1) Visit our Romulan Embassy on New Romulus
2) Find the Turbolift, use it to get to the Shuttlebay
3) Find a console called "Requisition Consumables"
4) Open the consumables store (yes, its confusing) and select "Assignment Slots"
5) Select "+1 Active Duty Officer Assignment Slot" and click buy.

Nice work all!

[Bird of Prey]

Awesome work !! Wish I could contribute more Dilithium to these projects, but I'm currently grinding dil to convert to zen so I can purchase the Andorian ship pack. Once I've finished with this grind, I'll try to contribute more.

That's alright, I totally understand the need for more dilithium. So I'm switching to the doff-heavy projects as an experiment. Hopefully, we'll be able to move the starbase forward with them.

Well giving 1000 xp will help, not to mention that Doffs can be gotten from the fleet Starbase and some recruitment assignments.

We can now do the same at our Klingon New Romulas Embassy.

Let's start thinking up names for the Romulan TrekBBS fleet.

My suggestion would be The TrekBBS Cohort .

Or Legio TrekBBS .

[LeadHead]

The Tal-BBS?

I like Legio, but it still doesn't sound quite right.

[Ruaidhri]

I'm digging Legio TrekBBS. Though if we wanted to anglify it, it would be TrekBBS Legion.

[intrinsical]

Doesn't Legio refer to an army and not a fleet?

According to this webpage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_navy the proper name for our Romulan fleet should be Classis TrekBBS.
