With these new members joining the Armada.. brings new opportunity's for you in Armada chat to join or create some great PVE/PVP queues, Call out for Featured episode teams.. or even just chat.
But please keep in mind, when using Armada chat, you.. as Stonewall fleet members have agreed to the Stonewall fleet rules regarding chat... and I know you all will still be polite and courteous as you are representing Stonewall.

These new fleets "should" be joining us on Sunday 22nd/Monday 23rd Feb, So please feel free to use the Armada chat to welcome them.


For those still in the dark about what being in an Armada does & how it benifits you.. please keep reading..



-------------------------------
Being Part of an Armada can boost your toon

-------------------------------


If your toon is logged into an ALPHA fleet (Main Stonewall Fleet)
you get:

8.00% Skill point bonus
2,00% Dilithium discount

. . . . . .

If your toon is logged into a BETA fleet (Deepspace Stonewall. Stonewall Legion)

If your toon is logged into a GAMMA Fleet

-------------------------------
How to chat to your fellow Armada members

-------------------------------

its Simples! We have set up Armada chat, alongside our Stonewall channel..
it should already be active, but double check just in case..
"right click" on the chat box tab you use for Stonewall channel
and this will pop up..



Ensure that "Armada" is ticked.. and choose your own colour for the text.. so that you dont get it confused with stonewall channel.

When you want to talk in "Armada chat" in your text box (where you write your text) "right click" on the active channel (the bracketed channel box) and select Armada.. then chit chat away to all our armada friends!


-------------------------------
How to contribute to Armada wide projects

-------------------------------

It works much like our own fleet projects... which require.. doffs.. dilithium.. fleet marks and other consumables.. it still awards you fleet credits in the exact same way when you contribute to your fleets open projects... except each fleet in the Armada is open to every single member of the Armada.

Its a great way of helping you get more fleet credits.. by just looking around each fleet too see what you have.. and they need.

You can access the Armada fleets projects by clicking on "Your fleet" (under the mini map)
and selecting "Armada" tab



Once in the Armada area, you can click on each fleet.. and it will give you a list of there projects, just click on the drop down menus to see what that fleet project needs.. and donate and receive fleet credits in return!



However.. please please remember, that if the "fleet marks" have already been filled.. there are sooo many other items you can donate, yes it may cost you a few EC.. but think of going of an easy PVE run.. fleet alert for eg.. and grab as many drops as you can find.. sell them.. and use the EC to buy what a fleet project needs.

I have a great many people saying that there is never an opportunity to donate anything... but when i look.. i see that there are loads of items a project is crying out for.. we just have to think of other ways to get the items needed (as described above)

But with as many members as this Armada has.. we are all here to aid one another's projects, so we can grow into a power house of an Armada, and there is a HUGE array of chances to obtain Fleet credits in a big Armada such as ours.


------------------------------------------------


If you have any questions regarding Stonewall Fleet Armada, please jot them down below and we will do our best to answer them, we are aiming to be more active within the Armada.. with PVE call outs, inviting the other fleets to our events etc etc

i took latin in high school and was instantly reminded of it when i saw the inscription on the armada thread. as a joke, some of used to put "semper ubi sub ubi" on stuff which translates to "always wear under wear"... not exactly a direct translation but the words literally translate to that. :-)

Armada use of Stonewall TeamSpeak Server?

Morning all,

Can we invite members of other Armada Fleets to join our Team Speak Server?

That's the question,, nice and simple.

Thank you.

Armada use of Stonewall TeamSpeak Server?

February 22 2016
I have no objection to Armada members utilising teamspeak, it would be good to see some activity on there however, any member using the server will be subject to the same guidelines and rules that fleet members agree to. Failure to adhere to these rules and guidelines will result in appropriate actions taken by the leadership of Stonewall.

I would recommend that members are invited to read the following before joining the server.

Guide to Etiquette on TeamSpeak
Code of Conduct

Stonewall Fleet Captain's and Admirals will address any immediate causes for concern at the time however, individual fleet leaders may be contacted subsequently to be informed of the actions taken by our leadership to determine whether they have in turn caused an infraction into their own fleets CoC (where any may exist).

i was just curious if our teamspeak server has a max capacity or some kind of throttling it does based on a license we have or whatever? while it does go idle most of the time, we do use it quite a bit for fleet events. if there are capacity limitations, it might hinder our ability to do those if we don't expand it or plan around it. thought i'd ask. :-)

We will address those issues as and when it becomes a concern. As it is for now we have capacity for those that use it :)

Ive merged this Teamspeak question into the Armada thread, as it makes sense.

While talking to the fleets who have joined our Armada, one of their questions was "do we use teamspeak much?" .. and of course we said YES...
We are constantly trying to come up with new ways for members to utilize teamspeak as an important tool during their gaming experience, beyond attending events.. so we welcome the chance to invite other Armada members into TS.

Its a great device.. weather you want to listen to music in the DJ room.. or team up in the co-op rooms, we will encourage everyone in the fleet and visitors to use it.

in my experience its never been a problem to have to many

Our Teamspeak server has a limit of 40 users. We've never reached the limit and only come close during some big fleet events. If it starts to become an issue, we can always increase the limit.

We were called "established"...I think I may start to cry.

Welcome aboard Armadamates! xD

Gareth, I may need some help, I still don't seem to understand Armadas properly. I think I need more pictures, drawings, infographics, and an interpretive dance to better understand it. Also, do they come with autopilot? :silly:

You would be amazed how many people don't know how the Armada system works or that it even exists. I think this post is fantastic in helping those people out, but not only that, but helping those that think they know how it works!

...If you feel a better post could be made, feel free to do one...!
