So!! Here is my question to you all. What can I PERSONALLY do to get more interactions with in the fleet? would you like events? for example DPS? Build Discussions? anything really?
There is another problem you need to solve/adress to get more feedback. Usually the problem is that people dont use the forum or discord to stay informed about events. And most players dont even know these really exist. So they miss them. Which is strange because people use the website to register for the fleets. As far as Ive seen, only a tiny minority of the total active players are using the forum.
Remind people that the forum exists in the login fleet message, post direct links to the events instead of the main forum where inexperienced people need to search this (sometimes confusing forum hirarchy), remind people that discord exists (which I find better than the forum), animate event topics in the ingame fleet chat.
Personally I still dont have the discord link. Its nowhere (easily) to be found. And Im an experienced forum user for over a decade. I asked ingame but people werent open to handing out the link. I dont remember the exact reason.
Then more people will join this topic to give you more feedback.

Hey Phoenix
Sorry to hear about your health. Hope you feel better.
First off, congratulations and thank you for taking on the role of spec. ops commander. I always appreciate people who are willing to put in the work and organize events for their gaming community.
As to your question, I honestly don't know what you can do, to increase attendance other then what is already being done. I haven't been around for long, but when I was able to attend, I always had fun. Enjoying the game with other people is why I play MMOs after all. And as I've told Miles on last R.A.F, I have been a bit absent over the past couple months - just been too hooked on Cyberpunk , but now that that's done, I'll be coming more frequently again.
I still have a lot to sort out on my own in terms of character progression, but I would definitely want to get into build discussions eventually. I also like to do TFOs, especially elites. And there's still ton of content that I haven't even seen yet, so I would like to do some of the more obscure TFOs that I don't see in random que a lot. And the ideas that have been mentioned already also sound appealing.
I also don't mind a bit of a competition. But there's usually less interest for that, not to mention the fact that STO being a pay2win game certainly presents some issues in that regard as well. But the competitive TFOs come to mind. I think I only had them pop twice in all this time, but they seem like a fun activity for a fleet since they require team work.
As for the time slot, it's obviously a bit tricky to organize events when you have people from so many different time-zones, but I don't think you could pick a better one. And I'm assuming other time-slots have been tried before. So in the end it just comes down to the people and whether or not they are interested in engaging with the community and joining in for the events.
One thing that comes to mind is something my guild in SWTOR is doing. Since a lot of people just don't bother visiting the website, they advertise events in guild chat. I know that's extra work and I have no idea if it would have any effect - I mean there's probably people who don't even have the in-game UFP chat channel set up. Just thought I would mention it.
So yeah, personally I would love to see more people coming to the events and more interactions. Just seeing people asking in chat for others to join them when they do TFOs, or whatever that can be done in a group, would be nice. Personally I'm still sort-of taking a backseat, as I'm still re-learning the game and getting to know people, but once I'm confident enough I'll start being more active in that regard myself.
Anyway, I think I rambled on for too long as is. Good luck to you and I'm looking forward to playing with you and the rest of the gang.

I'd like to encourage anyone reading this thread who finds voice comms overwhelming to give it a try. It will give you a very different gaming experience, much better and more rewarding. If you don't want to talk on comms, just type you don't have a mic or that it doesn't work... or just respond in chat. You don't need to stay on comms for a long time, stay for the event... maybe try hanging out for a while in the main channel... or not... drop to afk channel whenever you like.
I use to find voice comms overwhelming... I still do outside of events, fleets or any other planned activities... but trying it out it changed my gaming experience forever. Maybe it will do it for you too... maybe not... just give it a shot. No matter what game you play being on comms can be a lot of fun...

Unfortunately life just more often than not interferes with my ability to join in fleet events, as it tends to be a really hectic time of day most Saturdays at my house. I hadn't heard of the Friday events though so will have to see if that works better.
As for voice chat, I've enjoyed it in the past, but frankly after spending all day for work on calls and coordinating around 2 primary school kids also doing video calls, I'm generally burned out on headsets by the time I get a chance to hop online for gaming. Happy to chime in on in-game text chats, but I'm on a single monitor setup right now so TS/Discord text chat isn't terribly convenient either so I just don't log in there much right now.
