{UFP} The United Federation of Planets

[Hathaway]

Greetings from the United Federation of Planets


FA Intro

My name is John Hathaway, Fleet Admiral for the {UFP}, founded in May 2002. I've held the FA position since September 2002 and I'm extremely proud to represent the UFP and all it has become over the past 7 years.

We currently support


Star Trek Online (positions available - Federation and Klingon factions supported)
Voyager: Elite Force
Bridge Commander
RPG-X 2.2 (RP mod for EF1, more info: http://www.ubergames.org/projects/rpg-x/)
(Also looking forward to ST Excalibur, more info: www.STExcalibur.com)

Fleet Ethos & Summary

Dependable, accessible leadership and strong fleet involvement...

I believe our long term success has stemmed through sensible and reliable leadership from all those with responsibilities, from the highest ranks, down.
While we believe in the need for a military hierarchy we also believe it is imperative that the fleet is able to have a strong voice. So we actively encourage wide involvement in a myriad of fleet affairs. This is your fleet as much as it is mine. No one "owns" the UFP.

Casual and hardcore gamers welcome...

We are very much a clan which believes in the idea of "you get out, what you put in". If you're committed and dedicated to the UFP, you'll go far within it. There are numerous members who will attest to that.
However if you feel you're a casual player with limited time and perhaps many real life commitments, it's not a problem at all. All we ask is that you sign in at our monthly roll call, beyond that you are free to do as much or as little as you can/like. We understand real life comes first and we will not make any undue demands on our member base. Those with specific duties in the UFP simply need to hand them over temporarily in their absence.

Wide variety of play types, with a friendly and lively atmosphere...

We are a general fleet, in so much as we don't get bogged down by labels such as RP or PvP. We feel it is our duty to provide a wide ranging and flexible base upon which our members can enjoy a varied and fun organisation.
Our community is well known for its high spirit and willingness to help out, we are all classic Star Trek fans after all. We are constantly challenging our member base to get involved and bring about new ideas, and even lead their own projects under UFP support. So if this sounds like a fleet you want to be involved in, be sure to check us out

In closing...

If you have any questions, wish to discover more about the UFP, or are interested in joining, drop by our website and forums at www.ufplanets.com.
Alternatively, post a message here or drop me a PM.

[Sharpkiller]

Also, keep an eye out for our new Serial Roleplay in RPG-X. Details will be released soon.

[UFP_Dodgers]

Lt.JG Dodgers reporting and looking forward to STO

[Mackazz]

Goodday there forumers!

Mack here reporting online for duty,
The games we play are always fun ones, bad apples will be thrown out but we're always the explorers to seek some new peace out there,

The STO. Division eagerly awaits the arrival of STO and probably will be a very tight and serious group of players, intrested?...

Anyways, Filling our time with RPG-X mod on Elite server is quite fun, although Theres bridge commander to concider, think about it, Its the mix of those 2 games and alot more that eventually will be STO!

Saying Hi for now,
Macking off !
:cool::D

[Mullaly]

It seems that I'm not the only one who thought of starting a recruiting thread. :D

I must say that I am definitely glad I joined {UFP}, and I love the friendships and activity of our fleet. Looking forward to playing with everyone when ST:O is finally released.

Try out {UFP}! I can say with certainty that you won't be disappointed!

[Mullaly]

Oh, I suppose I should add that we have a large base of members interested in ST:O, and there are plenty of opportunities to make your mark, and move up within the fleet.

[Sharpkiller]

We support more than ST: O and EF1 with the RPG-X mod aswell. We also have divisions for Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Star Trek: Armada 1 & 2, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, Star Trek: Elite Force 2, and more....

[Mullaly]

Not to mention amazing and awesome group of people and forums. :D

[Mullaly]

Hey Sharp, we need to get some more Canadians on here as well, huh? :P :D

[Sharpkiller]

Indeed =D more the merrier

[Mullaly]

It seems like there might be more that come to join us. ClearyMonkey is practically my neighbor! ;)

[Sharpkiller]

And another Canadian now =D

[Mullaly]

Yeah. I'm also very glad to see that everyone's participating actively in the fleet. We'll have to get more of our members over here.

[Sharpkiller]

Were on a roll =D Several new members

[Mullaly]

lol. We just keep on recruiting (Does it seem to you that we're really talking about nothing?)

[Mackazz]

Last sunday we had an excellent RPG-X Session on the UFP server!
It was really good, and lots of people actively played along with the plot,
Almost like in STO, atleast how it should be
Serious players but fun games!

All is done in the {UFP} !
Join ;)

[Crazyfist]

Hey there folks :D

Mull if you were wondering why i was inactive then thats cus i had trouble with our site but hey, im back now.

I should really take part of our RPG sessions its the closest thing there is to STO atm :D, im gonna be getting myself EF sooner or later i promise :D.

Theres though something more important, my PS pics :P havent done em in a while so i will be working on them too.

Good to see a UFP thread here.

[Mackazz]

BUMPbumpBUMPbumpBUMPbumpBUMPbump

[Crazyfist]

Haha lol mack.

Btw for yall information, we might have a 3d starship modeler inbound :D

[Darkaiz]

As the XOof our STO section, I feel a slight need to bump this thread :p

[Hathaway]

Hi guys.
We had a great RP group last night, the server reached a record 18 crew members online at one time (the server usually peaks at about 14-16 but is capable of holding up to 32).
The roleplay included a story about rescuing a Federation ship which had become caught in a "black wormhole". It culminated in our ship, the Poseidon-B, crash landing on a planet... all very dramatic with admin created explosions, the ship shaking and epic music playing lol. Everyone played their roles well and the dialogue was a great read.
We decided to leave the story there, but before most of us left, we managed to get a group shot of us all. Enjoy :)

If you'd like to learn more about how you could get involved in interactive roleplaying, feel free to visit www.ufplanets.com or contact me here. I'd be happy to get you going in no time.

[Garbo]

Is this a SIM group or a potential Fleet for STO or both? Just curious.

[lynix]

I would love to join your Fleet for STO if possible

[Crazyfist]

Were a fleet since 2002 playing Star Trek games, and we will be participating in STO aswell.

To join go to www.ufplanets.com register, go to Public Comms - Join the Federation. Read the application guidelines and apply.

[Hathaway]

We're a fleet foremost as Crazyfist explained, but we also value a good roleplay, so have set up a dedicated division just for RPing. We've also been prepping for STO for a long time, and are actively seeking new recruits just as excited as we are :)

Right now we have 8 people on our server playing aboard the USS Serenity, a galaxy-class starship. More info on our dedicated server can be found here: http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/208.43.15.106:20001/

[Garbo]

I was just curious. I am already second in command over a newly formed fleet that will be entirely STO based. I was just curious because, while I understand your guild name in context, to name a fleet the "United Federation of Planets" in the STO context seems misguided to me.

However, given the role that your group/guild/organization does outside of STO, I understand now. :)

[Crazyfist]

Yeah I can see why you think its misguided, but if you think that it was founded as a gaming fleet in 2002, it makes perfect sense to name it so :P

[Quince]

Best to mention www.rpg-x.net

[winn]

new here... hi all!
cheers :D

[Hathaway]

lol Quince, anyone who would be interested in participating wouldn't get far without that link... which is also on our forums ;)

[Crazyfist]

Too bad i dont have EF. I shud work my way into finding a copy.

[winn]

yes you should. its the best way to prepare yourself for STO

[Anderson]

I looked at all the fleets here, and this looks most interesting. Im prolly gonna join sooner or later and i suggest others do the same

[UFPSTOBrandon]

Hey guys! I'm here with {UFP}Crazyfist to help recruit people for the {UFP}. This clan is one of the longest running for 6 years! It's birthday was recently August the 1st. We are looking for more people to join this clan, one of the strongest and best clans in the trek world! So do we have any volunteers? Or anyone who is interested? Please post a reply to this continuous thread. {UFP} United Federation Of Planets is waiting for you! ;)

[Crazyfist]

Brandon, remember 3 years ago when we met up at my RPG BC hosting sessions?

Borg inbound! Set shields to rotating modulation, and target etc etc :P

Those were the times.... and it seems they will come again!

[Burtonshaw]

just thought i would say hi all.

[Endeavour]

Wow, our very own thread. :)

CO of Falcons division reporting in. For you who don't know, Falcons is our Bridge Commander division. CO stands for Commanding Officer. :P

[Crazyfist]

Info to you all.

CO Endeavour and XO Crazyfist (me) of the Starfleet Falcons have decided to revert to KM 0.9.1 BC mod instead of km 1.0.
This will allow me to host RPGs once again without any major lag. Back about a year or more so, whenever I hosted my The Warzone - RPG it usually took about 5 minutes until it was full with about 12-16 people. We RPGed about 1-3 hours and made alot of friends. When we start implementing this i suggest you all join us in the fight against the borg or romulans or whatever fate spawns for us ;)

[Anderson]

I remember those, i was in one a cpl times. Those were about the only thing that kept me in BC, and im not the only one. But then ur games stopped? Why? We were very disappointed :/

Too bad about km 1.0... it was kinda laggish :(
0.91 ftw! :D

Well I dont remember when you played(lol sorry!) but I would assume it was about last year this time because back then my internet was unworkable for about a month and that kinda stopped me from hosting?

[clearymonkey]

Hey Everyone on ST:O.

I recently joined the {UFP} and I don't think I have ever met a more friendly group of people. Not saying STAR TREK FANS aren't friendly, but these fans are totally awesome.
I highly recommend that if your looking to join a group of players in any Star Trek Game, join the {UFP} and have a blast!
Feel free to contact me or anyone else at any time if you have questions. I know we are always happy to help! :)

Best wishes everyone!

[Crazyfist]

Couldnt have said it better myself!

Even though ive been in it for a cpl years now :P

[Burtonshaw]

I tell u what, i have been in this gaming clan for a few years now, and i tell u they feel more like a family. hopefully i will soon be able to play along side them all again, when i get a new copy of BC, or when STO comes out...

[Crazyfist]

Hi there, just fyi i made another Photoshop picture relating to the Relentless story over at holodeck.

[Burtonshaw]

Quick point to note, i did not see it earlier, but i thought it prudent to add a list of games played by the {UFP}:

Armada
Armada 2
Elite Force 1 &2
Bridge commander
Starfleet Command 3,

and of course, STO

[Crazyfist]

We also used to play Freelancer but that died away.

[Anderson]

Well I dont remember when you played(lol sorry!) but I would assume it was about last year this time because back then my internet was unworkable for about a month and that kinda stopped me from hosting?

o, well i stopped playing after about a week of noticing your games were gone :/

so when will this all start again? sorry i havent applied yet at your site, i will in due time

[Crazyfist]

Well, atm im getting the KM mod installed and running, so within the week my friend :P

[clearymonkey]

Couldnt have said it better myself!

Even though ive been in it for a cpl years now :P

I think its because we all have the same feelings for Star Trek .... WE LOVE IT!! :D

[Sharpkiller]

Hehe :P

Crew Applications for our SRP in RPG-X have opened. :D

[Crazyfist]

Clearymonkey and all else, feel free to join in on the story.

[Anderson]

WOW how the hell do you do that Crazy? Doesnt Hathaway do same kinds of pics?

daaam and the story owns too!

[Crazyfist]

Render the models in 3ds max, and create and add everything else incl effects and backgrounds and planets using photoshop

[Sharpkiller]

The 3D meshes for Star Trek ships can be found here:

[clearymonkey]

Clearymonkey and all else, feel free to join in on the story.

Sadley enough, I am not much of writer or designer in things like this, but I might give it a shot soon enough. Maybe this trip to Vegas will get my creativity in writing flowing. Standing on the bridge of the Enterprise supposidley does that to people :)

[Crazyfist]

Hehe i betit does bro.

Now on a side note, we already had our first semi successful RPG on BC.

Only problem was, in the time i had to wait for people to install, we had a MSN convo of about 28 UFP members and i told them to get BC running and modded in 30 minutes... It didnt work. Only 3 could come but it was fun anyways :P

[Anderson]

HEY why didnt u invite me? i would have come

lol... on a side note what u a news clerk or summit?

[Crazyfist]

Maybe because you werent online:P

Prolly gonna have a go again today.

[Sharpkiller]

Good, good.... :D

[Crazyfist]

Indeed, so why dont u get BC :P

[Sharpkiller]

I have BC <.<

[Crazyfist]

Working with km 0.9.1 and 1.0?

[Shatterhand]

Peace and long life, everyone. :D

I just joined the UFP, and in all the years I've participated in MMOs and gaming guilds, I don't think I've met a friendlier bunch of people. They've made me feel welcome and I'm excited to take part in their initiatives to build up their STO division.

Six years of ST gaming experience, fellow fans that are friendly and helpful, a name you know...folks, you can't go wrong here.

See you 'round the galaxy. ;-)

OMG, there I am in the back ... teehee. Oh yea this mod, RPG-X2, rocks and everyone should go get Elite Force and install it. Im also thinking the United Federation Of Planets.

Some of you might know me by another name ... Mr. Cameron June :)

[Sharpkiller]

Glad to see other people interested in ST: O also play RPG-X

[PattonJ007]

Ive been RPing Star Trek since I was a kid. Luckly my friends that lived in my neighborhood liked Trek too so we used to get together and play all the time. Whether it was with the Star Trek Micro Machines, which I still treat as gold today, or turning my basement into a bridge or grabbing a phaser and going outside.

But when i got Elite Force when it first came out I saw the potential for the game and thank god someone saw it too and made the RPG-X2 mod, because it is awesome. I still remember when the first couple of RP maps came out ... like CTF_Deralict 1 through 3.

[Sharpkiller]

RPG-X has changed so much, can't wait to see what it will offer in the future :D

[Hathaway]

The {UFP} will be gathering its members on MSN as we all watch the live feed on August 10th from the Las Vegas convention.
Personally I can't wait to see what they have in store, and if you want to join our discussions, feel free to visit www.ufplanets.com to sign up! :)

[Shatterhand]

I'm totally stoked about this. I really want this game to surpass the fantasy MMOs that currently have a stranglehold on the market. I hope Cryptic will calm our fears and surpass our expectations.

[Burtonshaw]

RPG-X2 is an absolute brilliant mod. the only problem i have is that i get dropped out the bottom of transporters.......

[Sharpkiller]

What? What do you mean "dropped out the bottom of transporters"?

[Crazyfist]

Maybe hes delusional!

Anyway, omg 2 days left for ingame footage :P

[Hathaway]

Grab me or Sharp on MSN Burtonshaw I'm sure one of us can get to the bottom of it.

[Nashy]

Hey Hey Hey! Greetings from the golden state California! Im thinking of joining your fleet for the ST:O, EF-RPGX and your bridge commander! but im curious about the bridge commander. do you guys play with the kobayashi maru mod? If so Show me the papers and where to right my name.
P.S: also if wanna contact VIA msn mine is hellonashy@hotmail.(com)

signing off,
David Nash

[Hathaway]

Hey Nashy, we do indeed use the KM mod:D
Feel free to drop by our forums, you'll find details in the Join the Federation forum under Public Comms.

[Crazyfist]

Indeed we use KM. Both 0.9.1 and 1.0.

1.0 for PvP lol
and 0.9.1 for RPG

[Sharpkiller]

w00t 1 more day until ST: O footage

[Sharpkiller]

Come join the {UFP} on Sunday, August 10, 2008 @ 1:30pm PDT/9:30pm BST (British Summer Time - Daylight Savings of GMT) as we gather the Star Trek community to watch & discuss the live feed from the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention. Live gameplay footage of the highly anticipated Star Trek: Online is set to be shown. We will be discussing the live feed as it streams on our new flash chat feature.

http://www.tehupload.com/uploads/8955f887bf52351ufptrans.png

{UFP}The United Federation of Planets
We hope to see you there.
Join the chat @ http://ufplanets.com/chat/

[Crazyfist]

The new chat rules man. I hope youll keep it after the convention too?

Please? I wanna be using it lol

[Burtonshaw]

i must say, i just checked it out, that is one hell of a better idea than all going on MSN. less lag...

[Crazyfist]

Agreed. And all the fancy sounds too :P When i type, i hear trek notepad sounds

[Hathaway]

Seems to be being used a fair bit so I don't see why not. Visitors are welcome to use the chat room for STO discussions or anything Trek related.
If it continues to prove popular I'll continue looking into modifying it.

[danubus]

Im really interested in your group, but I dont use or play any of the old star trek mods you currently use for RPing. Id love to get in with all of you though for STO. I come from a pretty hardcore roleplaying community called ALFA. Mostly Dungeons and dragons based using 3.5 rules and the Neverwinter nights 1 and 2 engines.

Would love to do some forum roleplay and IRC stuff if possible till STO comes out. I just cant play the older star trek mods.

[Sharpkiller]

We do have a mothballed RP forum, im pretty sure Hathaway has said with enough interest it could be revived.

[Hathaway]

We have people who've joined simply in anticipation of STO, giving their thoughts on the game and as the game progresses and we learn more, conversation will evolve into how our division will work best with the game. So you're welcome to join us on that basis, all we have is a roll call every other week.

As for forum RPing, I personally don't have the time for it. You're more then welcome to attempt to start one up, we can create a forum for that purpose. Similarly I'm happy for anyone to use the chat room for live text RPs. Just give me a shout and I can create a room for that purpose.

[Crazyfist]

I really would love for the UFP Sim or whatever you guys called the board RP to continue.

[Hathaway]

It's far too big a project for me to take on at the moment with the time I have, and I wouldn't want to pass it onto someone else... I spent countless hours working it out in such a way. Perhaps one day again.

[Crazyfist]

Perhaps next summer?

And YES today is the big day

[Sharpkiller]

Remember, come join us at 9:30pm BST on our new chat feature!

[Hathaway]

www.ufplanets.com/chat
Everyone is welcome to join, don't need to be a member of {UFP} or any guild, we're simply excited by the prospect and eagerly anticipating some new information! The chat room is live now and will probably be populated from now until the event, so be sure to drop on by:)

[Hathaway]

Bumping:p
A few non-members have dropped by already, just a quick reminder that you're all welcome to join us for the big event. Whether you're cautiously optimistic or disappointed with events so far, you won't want to miss the webcast, so why not join us for live reactions!

If you want to learn more about the {UFP} feel free to visit us @ www.ufplanets.com :)

[Reggie]

Come on guys! Ufplanets has to be the number one place for this. The original federation in an original environment :p

[Crazyfist]

I agree. Ive been here for 3.5 years and all of the Trekking and RPing have been so fun.

[Mackazz]

I myself can call myself a proud member for 1,5 years now.. I`ve gotten to know the usual members,
We all cling on..somehow!


Space, the final frontier... Or so we think!
The final frontier opened up in 2161.
We are at war.
Do you think you`ll be able to maintain peace without a proper balance?
Come find us
{UFP}

[Sharpkiller]

No were sounding like a infomercial <.< :D

[AlmightyKaz]

Just letting everyone know that 'FREE DENTAL' is included so for all the people concerned about that its all good.

[Reggie]

So here you take the can of peaches, bottle of cider. And Voala you have yourself a federation. And if you want an even sharper image, you can try adding some of your very own stock. Have a nice one ladies and gentlemen.


On a more serious note, Can we have our own shipyard? I want to build the USS NEWB in there :D

[Crazyfist]

Heh funny redge :P

So. we will be really getting into STO, so feel free to check us out :)

[ghjei2002]

Hey,

I would love to join United Federation Of Planets.

How do I sign up???

[Crazyfist]

Go to
www.ufplanets.com

In Public Comms, go to Join the Federation, read the new recruits report here first thread,
and then post a new thread with your application on it. Your application will then be processed shortly. :)

Always happy to see new faces

[Sharpkiller]

Almost 20 new members in 10 days :D

[Crazyfist]

Heh indeed. Lets just hope they stay active.

[Hathaway]

Hi guys, in these exciting times where we're learning more about STO and the hype builds, we're getting ever closer to finalising the structure for our STO division.
Naturally we've built upon available information but we welcome input from all members on how you'd like to see this division constructed and what you expect from the {UFP} as a member. So join today and have your say!

[Reggie]

UFPlanets is not just a fleet directed at war, or peace. We are just here to have a good time and make the most of what we have at hand, and soon when st:o is operational, i assure you we will be having fun in all sectors of the alpha quadrant... btw he never answered that question. Maybe there will be delta and gamma quadrants?! :O

[NCC1017spock]

I am thinking of joinign this group, I was wondering how many members you have for Star Trek online online? Cause I dont want to join a fleet with only a few people....?

[Reggie]

Well looking at the numbers most of the group are overly excited about ST:O so i wouldn't mind saying that we'll have a fair few people going for online when it comes out :P

[Endeavour]

Yup, I'm just hoping that ST:O Will run an my PC and that I'll actually be able to afford it. :)

[Crazyfist]

Spock, lets just say that we've gotten nearly 20 new recruits in theselast 3 days, and were a 6 year old gaming fleet.... so if you hypothesize we have enough :P

[Crazyfist]

Oh, and people. Dont forget to visit

www.ufplanets.com to if you want to sign up, or just chill with us.

[Sharpkiller]

Ende, nothing runs on your PC without making it explode xD

[clearymonkey]

Yup, I'm just hoping that ST:O Will run an my PC and that I'll actually be able to afford it. :)

I am so excited about this game, I have an old piggy bank that I haven't used in years and I have put Star Trek stickers all over it so I can use it to start saving money to put towards this game! I am so excited!! Beam me up piggy bank!

[Cosmic_Herald]

Keep me in mind for a fleet. If *any* fleet name should exist and consist of high quality players, then I feel one sporting the UFP logo.

I would be interested in the UFP for sure.

[Z3r0Fear]

I see UFP say that msn messenger is used as a primary contact. What about Ventrillo? If you guys don't have that even I would suggest getting it because it makes communication much easier and also its far better to be talking to someone then to be typing to someone. I have interest I'm just wondering if you have vent or not.

[Sharpkiller]

We had a team speak server for a while, but it has vanished

[Crazyfist]

Gonna start one up again soon though.

[Hathaway]

TS or Ventrillo will undoubtedly be used again, however MSN is used primarily for keeping in contact. It's also easier to juggle multiple contacts at once on MSN, then a voice convo which requires almost undivided attention... leaving me with little time to do anything else lol.
TS or Vent will be great for gaming though.

[Endeavour]

Ende, nothing runs on your PC without making it explode xD

Sadly that is true. It's about 8 years old.

xD

[Crazyfist]

We just had a good RPG session over at Bridge Commander.

Join us, we have loads of fun.

[Z3r0Fear]

Do I have to have any of the games listed on your site? I used to own some of them but dunno where they are now. The only one I've got is Elite Force 2 and I'm not sure if you guys play that one or not.

[Crazyfist]

We do play it from time to time.

And NO, you do not HAVE to have any game at all to join us.

[Z3r0Fear]

Oh okay that's cool. Thank you.

[Crazyfist]

I'd also like to note, that our new chat is very cool and we often hang there.

www.ufplanets.com/chat

You dont need to join us if you wanna chill with us, but if you chill with us, youll probably end up joining us :P

[Hathaway]

Our STO division is recruiting, and of course the game has not yet been released. Instead those who have joined for that reason alone, can be involved in discussing the make-up of the division for once the game does launch. This will obviously evolve as we learn more information about the game and how fleets will be able to interact... like for example the ability to create fleet installations on top of our player ships.
While the {UFP} houses a command structure, and those in what we call the Admirals Council do make the final decisions (or confirmation) we strongly encourage our members to share their thoughts on structuring the clan, even spearheading their own projects if they wish.
So while it would be best to own one of the games we support, as it allows you to train in our Academy and gain a commission, and of course join in with our gaming, it isn't a necessity.
I believe a few of us have EF2, but I think EF1 is far more widely supported.

[Crazyfist]

Don't forget bridge commander :P

And besides, if you join solely for STO, theres no reason why you cant acquire one of the other games and play that for a while :)

[Shatterhand]

Not to toot {UFP}'s horn, but I was in the RPG-X server last night with some {UFP} members, and had a great time. They were helpful, and fun to roleplay with. It's really difficult to find a good, solid guild that has a firm structure, good communication between members, and a friendly atmosphere where you're not made to feel like a fool for not knowing the little intricacies of the games. Well, if you join {UFP}, you'll get all of that and more.

Hope to see you 'round the galaxy!

[Crazyfist]

Announcement:

I'm gonna be starting a new photoshop pic soon. Any requests?

[UFPSTOBrandon]

The {UFP} Is the place to be with our top instructors and fun things to do! And even keep up with STO! You'll definitely make some new friends here at {UFP}! Join us today! Run, don't walk to our ufp website! www.ufplanets.com

- posted in the wrong thread, sorry fellas -

[Hathaway]

Elite Force is going very cheaply on ebay, though I think Bridge Commander is quite a bit more expensive... I'd have to double check to be sure.

Wrong thread Brandt, this is the original UFP, not the one that followed several years later.

[Lt_Brandt]

man, I posted in the wrong thread.. sorry guys..

[Z3r0Fear]

I'm not a fan of EBAY sorry I just don't use the website. Also tried finding the game but could not find it so I guess I'm out of luck.

[Hathaway]

What about Amazon? Seeing it listed there as well. But anywhere that sells second hand goods (and some may still be sealed) will possibly have a copy... certainly can't buy it new anymore.

[Z3r0Fear]

I don't buy stuff online because I live in Canada and most orders take 4-6 weeks to arrive and that is far to long for me.

[Crazyfist]

I see.

I bought an item from ebay once, and it was uber fail.

[Anderson]

Hey, just wanted to pop in to say hi.

We'll probably be having another RPG session on Bridge Commander today, you'll need KM09.1 if you want to play, you don't have to be a member of the fleet.

[tzapu]

So far, this seems to be the best STO guild in the making :D
I like the idea of RP and above all, the fact that you guys mix multiple ST games. I am a 5 year veteran of Star Wars Galaxies, and long time fan of ST. For as long as I've played SWG, I have sought to MAX everything, whether it be stats or pure combat efficiency, I have never settled for anything less than 100%.
Looking forward to knowing you guys. Contact me on lordahmar@gmail.com or Ym: slik_fiction

[Shatterhand]

Enjoyed another session on the RPG-X server last night with the {UFP} gang. It is SO refreshing to play with people who really love Star Trek. In other games, it's all about the fragging; total supremacy is all the players care about and they'll step on anyone along the way to achieve it. It's so heartening to have found a gaming group that does not follow that idea.

I cannot stress this enough: {UFP} is quite simply the best fleet to join for those who love Star Trek and socializing with friendly gamers who play for the love of the game, not the love of the win.

Accept no substitutes, and don't be fooled by similarly-named guilds...{UFP} is the way to go.

[Hathaway]

Nicely put Shatterhand, and for those who do place emphasis on hard core competition and skill, we've set aside the ESF (Elite Strike Force) division for the very skilled gamers in our group.:cool:

[DaeRave]

Hey Sharp, we need to get some more Canadians on here as well, huh? :P :D



CANADIANS you say?!

Where do I sign up?
Also, if someone could drop me an email or a PM, I'd love to talk to someeone about Elite Force or Bridge Commander (my personal favorite).. particularly what mods and updates I should get in order to be on the level with you all.

You'll need the 1.1 patch, and KM 0.9.1 for RP sessions.

Be sure to check out Starfleet Flacons, our BC division.

[Sharpkiller]

You'll also need the RPG-X mod for Elite Force to come join us on our 24/7 RP server =D

[NCC1017spock]

Hey guys- Dreadlord here from Combat Corps!! Whats shaking ?

We are not starting a div for the STO so I am just signing up to have fun.

I haven't played EF in YEARS!! I will have to pull it our of the dust pile and load it up again and play with you guys some time. I mostly play CCS and DOD. :D

[Endeavour]

Our ST:O division isn't completley solid yet, but members and interest sure is a growing number. There probably won't be much in the division that is solid until we have a bigger idea of what to expect.

[Crazyfist]

Hey guys, I have desided to go with you, Second Fleet looked cool too but some times bigger isnt always better. So how do I sign up?

Bigger? Heh. Whatever you say :P

Glad you decided to join us mate.

[Darkaiz]

A slight bump ;)

Feel free to visit us at
www.ufplanets.com

And crazy...
I still think it's strange that we have two xo's xD

[Sharpkiller]

You have a big division to manage there :P

[PattonJ007]

So... did you all know that theres another UFP on the forums ... how are we to distinguish ourselves from them?

[Crazyfist]

Mainly behavior and the difference that we use {UFP} tags and they use [UFP] tags, and also the fact that were the over 6 year old one and theyre the newer one.

[Burtonshaw]

we also have many more member, and are more....professional

[Crazyfist]

Just reminding, be sure to check out our chat at

www.ufplanets.com/chat

[Endeavour]

There's probably going to be another BC RPG session later today, be sure to check the chat to discuss about possible story ideas and times.

[Shatterhand]

And don't forget, there are regular RPG-X sessions during the evenings; if you stop over at the {UFP} chat, you'll get more information on RPG-X and how you can get involved. It's a great way to satisfy your Star Trek roleplaying appetite until ST:O comes out.

I was in a session last night, and before an unfortunate glitch caused my connection to die, we were in a map that resembled the Event Horizon from the movie of the same name. Since I LOVED that movie, I was in geek heaven being able to connect the Star Trek universe and that movie's setting. What made it even better was the roleplaying put forth by the players online.

Stop by at www.ufplanets.com/chat and say hello! We'd love to meet you.

[Reggie]

I want a canon fleet! :D

[Crazyfist]

I want a canon fleet! :D

While I'm not sure what you mean by "canon fleet", I will say I'd love to see a big, bold fleet of {UFP} vessels with proud, intelligent ship names confront a bunch of ships with names like U.5.5. Ipwndj00 or I.K.V. Roflcopterlulzlulz and annihilate them.

Just sayin'.

[PAw]

I am interested in joining but im hesitant. I have signed up on the forum awaiting for the activation email.

Don't be, you'll get an activation email, i'll notify my admiral asap. You'll like {UFP}

[Hathaway]

Hello PAw. If you're having trouble activating your account via email, drop us a line on our technical help forum. This forum does not require registration. We can then activate your account manually. :)

Tech Help forum @ http://ufpforum.ufplanets.com/viewforum.php?f=31

[Shatterhand]

I am interested in joining but im hesitant. I have signed up on the forum awaiting for the activation email.

Welcome, PAw! Don't worry; this group will make you feel as welcome as you can imagine. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get into another gaming guild after some of the guilds I'd been in after the one I co-ran shut down. Those guilds were impersonal; you were just a player, the others didn't take time to talk to you or get to know you at all, and there was absolutely no feeling of cooperation when I was grouped with them in games.

{UFP} is nothing like that. We're welcoming, friendly, and encourage teamwork and enjoyment above all. We hold regular ST gaming sessions that anyone who has played a multiplayer Star Trek game even casually could get involved in (though we definately cater to the hardcore Trek gamers, too!). Our forums are well organized and frequently maintained, and our group chat is always open for questions, chatting, and general merriment.

[Shatterhand]

This is a shameless bump, because I want as many people as possible to be aware of our presence. The {UFP} strives to keep the Star Trek multiplayer gaming world alive, especially with the development of ST:O. Our ST:O division is growing, and we're welcoming new people every day. We hope you'll take time to visit us at www.ufplanets.com and stop in our FlashChat room, www.ufplanets.com/chat . We'd love to meet you and welcome you to the {UFP}.

[PattonJ007]

If I were to install BC to join you ... what mods, if any, do I need to download?

[Sharpkiller]

KM 1.0 and KM 0.9.1

[PattonJ007]

So I install the game ... install the newest official patch ... install KM 1.0 and then KM 0.9.1 or 0.9.1 and then 1.0?

[winhack]

Hello all. I am new to STO, but I've been a ST fan for a while (I have never put on "Spock ears", but I have been to a number of conventions since the '70s and have at least 4 tribbles). I am looking to get connected to a good group (guild/alliance/federation/wing) for when STO does finally go on-line. UFP seems like a logical choice, but I had a specific question to ask. I did some research on UFP at the web site given earlier, and it seems that UFP is about more than just the STO game, which is fine. The question is: Will UFP members be required to participate in non-Cryptix-STO activities, meetings, etc., or will members who are only interested (at least initially) in playing STO be admitted as well? I would not want to sign up for more than I can handle, but at the same time I take my ST reasonably seriously with just enough fun and humor to make it worthwhile. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

[Hathaway]

Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but I think most of our members install BC 1.1 then copy paste the game twice, then install 0.91 one one, and 1.0 KM mod on the other. That way you have the best of all worlds.
0.91 is used for RP games only I believe, due to lag issues when adding multiple ships in 1.0 version.

[PattonJ007]

Alright, thanks for the heads up

[Hathaway]

Hello winhack. We do have some members who either cannot or do not wish to participate in the other gaming divisions we have set up, but are interested in our STO division. This is perfectly fine as we're looking to gain input from all our members on how best to integrate the {UFP} into an MMO environment. We believe a large fleet will have many interesting aspects to explore beyond solo-play. There are also other non-gaming areas you can be involved in, if you choose to be.
However that said, all you need do to maintain your {UFP} membership is sign in at roll call once every other week. This is a formality so we're aware of who's here and their general status.
If you have any further questions I'll be happy to answer them:)

[Hathaway]

Due to the enormous interest in our STO division, we have set up a new ranking system for those members who are *solely* interested in STO (i.e. cannot or do not wish to be involved in other supported Trek games).
This allows you to be promoted via non-gaming tasks!

Our RPG Division has chosen a formal name. :) The RPG division is now called Starfleet Harriers by popular vote. Congratulations, Ensign Reggie on your winning suggestion. :D

[Solannis]

Crewman Tason Solannis reporting for duty!

[PattonJ007]

Well I installed BC and 0.9.1 works fine but I cant get 1.0 to work, the screen goes black and all i see is a cursor :(

[Hathaway]

Hi Patton, not sure what might be causing that, but post your problem on our Tech Problem forum and I'm sure someone will be able to give some advice.

[Sharpkiller]

Keep an eye out for a trailer for our RPG-X SRP coming soon.

[No1UKnow]

Won't everyone who is not Klingon be in Star Fleet? And if so, won't they all belong to The United Federation of Planets?

[Hathaway]

{UFP} wasn't named for STO, we've been around playing Trek games for the past 6 years.

[Crazyfist]

Indeed.

We've been getting recruits like a flood, and please, join us. We are very happy to see new faces.

[Shatterhand]

As we've been mentioning, our STO division is growing rapidly, and we're still welcoming new people to the {UFP}. When I joined, I had already stopped playing ST games for a while, save for Elite Force. Now, I've got Armada 2, Bridge Commander, Elite Force 2, and the RPG-X mod installed, and I've found a way to enjoy them all over again.

Stop by our chat room:

www.ufplanets.com/chat

and say hello!

[Crazyfist]

Don't forget we often have active trivias of Trek for fun.

[Hathaway]

With increased activity we're seeking 1 or 2 new admins for our RPG-X server. If you're interested in role-playing it gets no better then what RPG-X can provide:)
Be sure to check out our server for Elite Force, all details of which you can find at www.ufplanets.com

This was a great idea, and the new ranking system looks great! I personally play Star Trek games on xbox and PS2 but never got into them on the computer. This will be great for me as I am very excited about STO. Thank you!! :)

[Hathaway]

Wherever possible we go with a canon solution to clan issues ;)

[Crazyfist]

Hmmm.

Any news on Mr.Mull? I need to speak to him about that surprise we had for you.

[Hathaway]

Not yet I'm afraid, did you get the message I left for you on MSN? We can start pushing forward with that soon then, I'm sure people would appreciate some of the diversity we want to introduce to the structure.
Personally as good a job as Cryptic have done here I'm disappointed with the forum layout. Everything is too compact into one forum to discuss all aspects of STO. I'd like to see more structured discussion boards on our own, perhaps even publically available for some.

[Sharpkiller]

It's a shame he went AWOL

[clearymonkey]

Mully is only AWOL till he gets settled with his new digs, and lifestyle. Moving cities to a new school its a huge thing. Though I am sure he is going to love it there!

[Hathaway]

The {UFP} would like to invite everyone to its new community forums at http://sto.ufplanets.com

Membership is not required to join in. We have created catagorised forums to make it easier to discuss certain topics of interest. Of course one of the main advantages will be not having your topic buried by a wave of new ones in just a few short minutes (annoying isn't it?).

We are looking to create further features for community users, and if you have a suggestion for improvement we'd be happy to hear them:D

[Sharpkiller]

Come join as we discuss and contemplate about ST: O @ http://sto.ufplanets.com

[Leathlord]

This is truly an awesome fleet I just joined it recently for STO and these guys are a lot of fun. I recommend anyone that's interested in Bridge Commander/Armada 1&2/Elite Force/STO/Other games to check out this clan. They are extremely organized, they play games together a lot and they are one of the best Starfleet clans set for STO right now. Join them while it's hot :P.

[winn]

checking in. members please update your signatures here according to the new template posted on {UFP} boards.
thank you.

[Hathaway]

Updated mine, thanks winn ;)

[clearymonkey]

The new ST:O forum looks great! It is much easier to read and follow through. The {UFP} already has key ideas being posted in it, which will greatly add to our preparation for ST:O :)

[Shatterhand]

Folks, if you haven't already stopped by, please make sure to visit the STO Division of the {UFP}. We've got great discussions going on right now, and plenty of easy-to-find facts and thoughts about Star Trek: Online.

And, in general, give strong consideration to joining the {UFP}. A more friendly and helpful group of dedicated ST game-players and fans cannot be imagined. I've felt more welcomed with them than I have in any other gaming guild I've ever been a part of.

[Sharpkiller]

STAR TREK: Horizon has been announced. It is the latest {UFP} RPG-X Serial Roleplay. STAR TREK: Valiant is still in the works and will being soon, following a trailer.

I think it's safe to say Valiant now has a full crew complement, can't wait.:D
Be sure to look into Horizon though!

[Erebus]

:::INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM {UFP}Vyzic:::

Ladies and gentlemen, I have returned....

You're welcome :)

I've been with the {UFP} for a good while now, (over 6 months) in purely an STO capacity. This is a great bunch of folks, and Crazyfist, Hathaway, and Darkaiz up there have gone back and forth with me on a great many topics since we all bounced around the ST:O.net forums before Perpetual gave up the ghost.

Looking forward to reconnecting with folks from the {UFP} as well as those ST:O.net forums.

[Crazyfist]

And WHERE have you been? *plays mad*

Good to have you back bro, looking forward to see you posting here.

[Hathaway]

Yea welcome back, but Erebus? That's just to confuse us isn't it :p

[clearymonkey]

I am very excited to see the new frontend website launch, planned for August 22, 2008 at www.ufplanets.com (http://www.ufplanets.com) :)

[Erebus]

Yeah so the Erebus thing is because they already had my email on file. Probably for Champions Online, but who knows.

As it won't let me change the screen name, you'll just have to remember that here, Vyzic = Erebus.

You'll all cope, I'm sure.

THE CAKE IS A LIE

I haven't had final confirmation from Beau yet guys. Until I do I cannot guarentee the deadline, but I'll keep you updated.

[Crazyfist]

Oh damn, i remember beau promised it weeks ago tho :P

[NCC1017spock]

so when is it going to launch.....? today is the 22 right?

Yes, but I havent heard anything.

We'll see wont we, hopefully Mr. Beau has been working his ass off.

Wasn't able to get hold of Beau for update, however I have updated the forum theme for Star Trek: Online at http://sto.ufplanets.com so check it out! :D
As I'm now able to do this, further forum customisation can be expected over time for even more eye candy.:cool:

Hello all, thought i would join in, if your looking for a fun, friendly Fleet and one that feels like the real thing, then {UFP} is the one for you. Hope to see you there.

[Govannon_Lioncourt]

{UFP} is by far one of the best and friendliest communities I've dealt with in my 15 years of gaming. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to call home in STO.

[Govannon_Lioncourt]

Dunno if I mentioned, but we've got cake :D

[clearymonkey]

Dunno if I mentioned, but we've got cake :D

Oh the delicious Cake! :)

And I totally agree that we have such a great group of players as well as incredible friendly! It has been so much fun being apart of the {UFP} and i know it is going to only grow more with fun in the future! :D

[Govannon_Lioncourt]

I suppose if someone really wanted it, we could offer pie as well. :cool:

[Sharpkiller]

But, then the pie could a lie as well.... And then we start over.... ;)

[Govannon_Lioncourt]

Either way, we cater to all needs and desires *nods*

[Hathaway]

For the game player type as well as for their confectionary needs. :p

[clearymonkey]

Mmm! Cake!!

If anyone is reading this and is a bit lost on the whole Cake discussion, please check out this link for the main discussion at {UFP} (http://forum.ufplanets.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2325) :)
----------------------

The Q&A section on STO has some unique answers, I am so glad they are continuing to develop it and give us more info!

[Govannon_Lioncourt]

Little known fact: I was known as Govannen Darkstar in SWG *nods*

[klingon]

Alright guys, Looking for a fleet to join.

I think I was a member for you community a long time back playing BC - I was called 'one' (from the UK). I am looking for a friendly community who will support their colleagues and not call me Ensign as I am new! :eek:

Background - Like many before me, I have completed BC,SFC, Armada, Conquest, Legacy, Tact Assault, Elite Force and so on.

Favourite ships include the Defiant and Sovereign class

Is there space to come aboard?

[Hathaway]

More then welcome to Klingon. For a direct link to our application section of the forum, see here: http://ufpforum.ufplanets.com/viewforum.php?f=7

[Sharpkiller]

Oh don't worry, we'll call you cadet. ;)

There's always room for more :D

[klingon]

Cheers guys, just registered. :)

Hopefully be a member shortly.

[klingon]

What the quickest way not to be a cadet.?

[Hathaway]

If you're joining to play any of our supported games, Armada 1&2, Starfleet Command 3, Elite Force 1&2 or Bridge Commander, you'll be placed as a cadet immediately and training will be offered in any of the prementioned games. The speed at which you progress largely depends on how much time you have, and how often you can grab a trainer for training.
If however you're joining purely in anticipation of STO, that is you don't want to play any of the older Trek games, you'll be given the enlisted rank of Crewman 3rd Class. Promotion from here is based on your involvement in preperation and in general. This can lead to a commissioned rank over time.

[klingon]

Many thanks for your response.

I am currently playing Amarda 2 again (single player). Once I am accepted I wil enter some training.

I will see if I can go up the ranks before ST-O comes online. Thanks once again

[Crazyfist]

You can also read a little of our info threads or ask around, there are many ways for STO only officer to advance through rank.

[Z3r0Fear]

I'm wondering if its possible to change my name on here. It seems a little silly to have a different name in my sig and a different account name. You guys know how I can get it changed?

[Hathaway]

I think the admins have disabled name changing function. May have to create a new account.
The really strange thing is though, that now as I'm typing this responce and looking down at the Topic Review, I see your name not as Cpt. Rob but as Z3r0Fear. No idea why...:confused:

[Shatterhand]

Although I shouldn't be because the odds are never in my favor for those types of things, I'm excited about the announcement of who won the lifetime subscriptions. I'm hoping someone from this fine group, the {UFP}, is one of the potential players selected. Then we'd guarantee the existence of the {UFP} in Star Trek Online for as long as the game is active. ;-)

[Hathaway]

They said on or around today for the sweepstakes winners to be announced. Shouldn't be long before we hear who the lucky winners are :)

[Shatterhand]

This is a shameless bump; I feel the need to sing this group's praises.

There are so many guilds/clans forming for STO, well before the game is even in the beta stages, which is not unexpected, but quite ably proves just how dedicated we Star Trek fans are to this game and being able to share it with others.

There are choices a-plenty on this forum, and I'm sure each of them have their selling points. I don't begrudge any of them, as long as they're honest and fair with their recruitment. It will be a pleasure to interact with them in-game, I'm sure.

I'll admit that I did very little research into {UFP} before deciding to join their ranks. I went to their site, clicked a few public forum links, and was impressed enough to submit my application. But, in all honesty, it turned out to be the best decision I could have made.

The {UFP} is the friendliest, most helpful and encouraging group of gameplayers I've met in a long time. Any one of them are willing to go above and beyond to assist fellow members with any ST-game related issues. From Elite Force 1-2, RPG-X and Bridge Commander to Star Trek Armada 1-2 and Starfleet Command 3, they're ready and willing to get a game together with other members or just chat in the {UFP} chatroom.

Their forums are regularly maintained, and it's easy to find a topic on whatever ST game you may currently play and enjoy. Plus, the STO Division is simply spectacular. I highly encourage all prospective players to check it out.

This may seem like clan shilling of the highest order, but I wouldn't be typing any of this if it wasn't true. The {UFP} is a great group of ST gamers, and a worthy addition to the growing STO universe.

[Buba3333]

I just joined up a few days ago cant wait for STO to go live. see ya all soon
