Fleet Development

The Stonewall Fleet started from a simple post in a forum in July 2008. Over the years the Stonewall Gamming Network has expanded into multiple MMO’s with a membership database of over 2,000 members that’s keeps growing by the day.

The leadership of Stonewall Fleet is asking its members what you need. Is it daily PvP, PvE, Fleet Marks, Dilithium Grinding or is it a weekly Social Gathering? If you have another idea or suggestion, we’re listening.

Keep your response short and sweet.

I think one thing that would be handy is a single, easy-to-find list of the full complement of guild officers (separated for the different games, of course). Knowing who does what, who's an officer and who's not, can be really tricky, especially for a newcomer. Heaven knows I don't know who does what at the moment, and I'm not a newcomer.

I agree with Siran. A who's Who list would be nice.

Also, I think it would be an excellent idea to have a weekly Starbase gathering of some sort, as I posted in mt thread. I think what's missing currently is a feeling of cohesiveness/congeniality.

If for no other reason than the starbase is costing a fortune to develop, it should be used from time to time, lol.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I've got the game for game stuff -- I think of the fleet primarily as a social hub. If I'm friendly with fleeties, I'll feel more a part of the fleet. Vent for fleet actions and STFs is really good for this, but I've gone on a few group grinds w/o any voice chat and it's not a great way to make friends and influence people.

We will get a directory together. I'll send an email to Mrlizz to set up two to three social meetings for the month.

Might suggest that one of those meetings, if they're in-character-person, be on Drozana or DS9 instead of the three fleet bases: I suspect a Stonewall Admiral might be able to let DSS folk on the base, but the Nagh reD folk?

...though that might take care of our tribble problem...

Random thought, but what about an open meeting policy, so that ALL fleet meetings are posted and open to whomever wants to participate/listen in? It seems to be similar to what Ozy's doing with the PVE team meetings and could be a great idea in general both to encourage participation and transparency, at the same time highlighting MrIzzy's important point about the fleet aiming to be very egalitarian. Might even liven up those fussy admiral meetings. :-p

Check out the Fleet Departments page. I'll be adding it to the Welcome Center shortly.

Anyone can invite other characters to any of our starbases and I believe that includes Klingon characters as well.

Just FYI, but unfortunately cross-faction starbase invitations are not allowed. Thus the importance of having a proud base for the Empire (and the need for a cross-faction space for in game meetings)! :-D

The fleet has used the Drozana Station in the past. Not an issue.

Speaking as a newby, I like the idea of the weekly meetings - be it on the starbase or Drozana. :)

Meetings on Drozana would probably help to promote the fleet, but I agree that usage of the fleet starbase is also a good idea. Maybe we could do both. :blush:

I don't understand the need to meet "physically" at a particular location in the game to conduct a business meeting. It could be done in chat--just make a separate channel to keep from clogging the main chat channel--and, in fact, I think you would need to do this anyway even if meeting at Drozana or suchlike. I mean, I get that meeting "physically" is fun and can help to build camaraderie. Beyond that, it's all window dressing.
