    *Salute* ZX Advent, reporting for duty!

    Hey, guys! My name is ZX Advent (or just Advent) and I'm new here! Hooray! So, what's my story? Hmm...

    So, I've been a Trekkie since I was a kid. Grandma introduced me to TNG and I've been hooked ever since. I absolutely fell in love with Voyager though (skipped school when they aired that marathon leading up to the series finale!). Star Trek was very influential on me and gave me a passion for all things science, especially when it comes to space. Naturally, I was stoked when Star Trek Online was released and I've been playing it off-and-on since.

    Interesting fact - I used to be a leader in a large gaming community circa 2008 called Xiled Gaming Community (XGC). They play tons of different games, but I was part of a Halo 3 clan within the community. I worked my way up the ranks to eventually lead this clan for a while before internal disputes finally drove me to leave it behind. I really enjoyed my time there, so this left a bad taste in my mouth for clans/guilds/etc. for the longest time. I've rode "lone wolf" since then, but recently I've started to miss being a part of a larger community. That's a void I'm hoping UFP will fill, though.

    As far as STO is concerned - like I said, I've been playing off-and-on since it was released. I run a Fed Science Captain and have a few different ships I dabble with. I recently got back into the game pretty hardcore and have been studying a lot about builds/equipment/ships/etc. (I like min/maxing) WoW was the last game that I played that I got really involved in like this and I'm really itching to try some of the harder end-game content and see how I can improve my skills and builds.

    Off topic facts? Well, here's a few:

    • I recently moved from Texas to Washington
    • I run a GameStop (did I mention I like games?)
    • I like anime quite a bit and will nerd-rage with you about it
    • I really enjoy coaching/mentoring (#INFJ)


    Anyway, pardon my incoherent ramblings. I am kinda shy and I probably won't talk much until I'm more comfortable, but I love to hear what other people have to say and I always appreciate being a part of things. Now if you'l excuse me, I was in the middle of some calibrations...

    Glad you posted, Advent! My primary is also a Fed Science Admiral. A few weeks ago I bought the Pathfinder starship and have not looked back! She is a dream, although I hear a time ship or Scryer is supposed to be better. But I am partial to the Nem Ankh...so we'll see.

    I understand how big moves are, Ive gone from California all the way to Connecticut, I hope you like the Northwest!

    Say hello anytime. Hope you find UFP fills that group void you have been missing. It has for me so far!

    Welcome to the UFP ZX!

    You won't be the first to join us after a turbulent past with other gaming groups. It does seem to be a very sad reality that gaming groups tend to have a lot of politics and nastiness from time to time. However, I've been in the UFP for over two years now, and I can safely say that this is the best gaming group I've ever been part of - and I've been part of a few!

    If you're looking for build advice, I strongly suggest poking around in our Help and Tips section, see what's been suggested by some of our more experienced and knowledgeable players. You could even post your build up in the "Build Discussion" area, and ask for constructive feedback. There's no trolling in the UFP, and no abusive comments about builds either - all feedback is 100% constructive and helpful. It may not be right for you, but it can be tailored!

    If you have any issues or concerns, please do speak with your RSO or one of our many gaming division leads. For FED STO, you'll find Begotten and Mark Okuda very open and helpful. Smile

    We also have a very active WoW community as well, so please do check it out HERE. I'd strongly suggest speaking to Sammygm or Noram for more information about that!

    Once again, welcome to our little corner of the internet. Cool

    welcome to ufp! Yes I've had similar issues with other guilds in the past, its a shame many games have toxic communities, but this place is nice, very nice. I've played several mmo's but STO is the best. I like anime too, do you prefer subbed or dubbed? I prefer subbed because I like hearing the Japanese language, took a class but I'm not that fluent as other colleagues are.Thumbs upCool
