The latest I can get on is probably 11/11.30 GMT (6PM EST roughly). Otherwise it's just getting too late in the day for me to get on.

During the week I get home from work by 3pm EST.
Saturday I should be free though.

Also if you need heavy item storage you can send the items to yourself in the mail (just don't delete the mail) or put them up on the trade network for insane prices (so worst case someone buys it and you make a lot of profit). There is no cost for either (STO does have a great F2P setup).

I tried it a while back when they started to make it free to play (iirc it was free for the first couple levels) but I couldn't get into it. Ground-combat was just soooo boring and space combat wasn't really any better. Felt more like flying a slowish starfighter than a starship.

To date - altough it plays basically on a 2d map - the best star trek combat simulator is still imho Starfleet Command 1+2. It is relativly hard to get into it but once you figure it out there just isn't anything else with more depth....shame those games are not developed anymore, probably to complex for the mainstream market.

do we have 5 people that could get online sometime between 3 and 6 EST tomorrow? Even if it was just for 10-20 min?

Even though I'm sick I could log in and let it run, so I'm good for that (yes Staplic, I'm working on the sheet, hard to do though).

Just ran my first instance... Over charged torpedoes and focus on defense is as I find it, the only thing that kept me from going BOOM every five seconds. I think I may have joined a match a bit out of my characters level but oh the loot was good.

Probably was the Starbase 24 one...

Just so you know, even level 50s can get face stomped when the second spawn shows up in that. Only so much a ship can take.

Alright, well for anyone who can, lets all try and plan on being online at 4 EST. I have another friend online who should be able to be on at that time, along with me, and then if we can get three more between Stitch, Deep, Sonic, Reliant, and Cheese.

Lets plan to meet at Earth Spacedock, we'll just have to find a common starbase map for everyone once we're online.

I should mention that I haven't even finished that boring tutorial mission thing so I can't guarantee I'll find you guys this time. ><

no problem if you do that's great, if not, assuming we're successful we can add you to the fleet at any time afterwords.

I'm having some account issues (my old cryptic account, the original log in system, is no longer valid) so It might be a while before I can be around.

I've run into a bit of a snag. If people would still be around and able to get onine around 6 EST I should be able to join you then.
