Is there a TS Stonewall room already?
If so, I might join tonight or tomorrow.

I watched this for the first time this morning! So now there are 2 hopeful new trek series out there.

Two?

I took my first shot at setting up TS today, and am having a lot of fun picking my themes and plugins... loving it!

Plus, what you focus on as an individual is what you get, and to some extent that applies to societies as well.

So gone are the days when the future was bright and full of hope. I think I shall watch this series to see how it turns out, it's definitely a very different Star Trek.

Dystopian is the new thing in sci-fi. There are several authors trying to buck the trend, but the... masses want more dark future. I suppose it isn't a stretch of the imagination to come up with a reason why; budget cuts for NASA, scientists and education, space shuttle mothballed and replaced with pre-shuttle style capsules, Honey Boo Boo...

Our future isn't really looking all that bright, so people want a darker future sci-fi to mesh more seamlessly with our impending dark future?

Personally I would like more optimistic sci-fi.

Exactly. In my opinion, the dark stuff is an awful trend, everyone is doing it, I'm so over it -the dark bleak future style writing. I guess this is why Star Trek: TNG, VOY, even DS9 had been my refuse for a hopeful future because I see all the other dark stuff in current day television left and right including the real world.

We've setup the current server and you're welcome to begin using it. Our Ventrilo server will expire by the end of the month. We've created a guide on How to Setup Teamspeak for your convenience.

I watched this for the first time this morning! So now there are 2 hopeful new trek series out there. This one looks as though its getting some good backing already though. I like the Dark side of trek idea, as long as there is some optimism in the general storyline. A new hope for the future of the federation etc...

Agreed Angel, that's why my favorite sci fi series of all time, the Honor Harrington universe remains my favorite, just slightly above some others ;)

Cool idea! I just moved my last character to Stonewall yesterday. My Ferasan Engineer. :)

Rife with gay cliches and stereotypes comes the Ultimate Gay Fighter. It looks like a fighter game with an all gay cast. I'm not sure if this is offensive or funny. They're billing it as the first gay fighting video game which seems a bit of a stretch to me.

This is very exciting news!

That trailer was epic... :woohoo:

A son?

Also, sad to read that they've moved Manu Intiraymi over from playing Icheb to some other character.

Cool!!

Bradley, thanks for hosting Vent since the beginnin'. :)

Looking forward to the changeover!

When Stonewall Fleet first launched, we purchased the default guild VOIP solution of the time, Ventrilo. Since then things have changed and Ventrilo is no longer the default. It hasn't been updated in some time and there seems to be no plans to do so. For that reason and many more, members of the community have brought up us changing solutions and the leadership agrees.

To that end, we've decided to migrate from our current Ventrilo server to a new Teamspeak 3 server. Teamspeak 3 is far more advanced that Ventrilo, easier to use and set up. Hopefully, it'll rectify many of the issues we've had with Ventrilo over the years.

Our current server is set to expire by the end of the month and we've already setup the new server and are updating our documentation. We hope our transition will be quick and smooth. Stay tuned for additional details.

I'd like to take a moment to personally thank Bradley1701 for his continued support. Bradley initially setup our Ventrilo server and has been generous enough to fund it over the last five years. Thank you so much Bradley!

For a long time, we've been working to liven up the House of Nagh reD. Seven months ago, we hosted the Feast of Blood and Blade to show what being a Klingon was like and show some real warrior spirit! It was a tremendous success and we had a great turn out. Shortly there after, Legacy of Romulus launched and we pushed members to align with the KDF and we had an unprecedented number of new characters join the House. Since then, activity in the House has been steadily growing.

We've been looking for more ways to make the House feel more Klingon and not just another Fed sister fleet and one of the great ideas brought to me was that of the House Champion. The House Champion is a position of honor and prestige and in true Klingon spirit will be decided in a fight to the death!

Starting in December, the Department of Klingon Affairs will start hosting monthly PvP tournaments, both space and ground. The winner of each will be receive the rank of House Champion in-game and a special ribbon on our website. They'll hold this position for the entire month where they can either earn it again at the next tournament or be dethroned by a more worthy combatant!

This person will have a position of authority within the House and can champion causes within the fleet. An added perk of being House Champion is that they will have access to the Fleet Stores, even when a gatekeeper is required. With time, we'll be adding new features and rewards to this position so it will make our House feel more unique and the winner feel more accomplished.

Stay tuned for the details for the first tournament.

sweet! but one thing i am wondering: How is Pavel Chekov still around in the 2380's? Has medical tech advanced that much? or maybe he traveled through time?

Regardless, still excited to see how this goes! Big project.
