Heya, just joined the community and wanted to say hi to everyone. Just started playing STO again after several years, so I'm a little lost with all the new stuff. Thought it might be nice to be confused with a fun group of folks instead of solo like normal.
Looking forward to meeting folks.

Hiya,
You will find there are usually always a few people online at any given time. We have a pretty good global reach on the game.
Also keep any eye on the events page https://ufplanets.com/events.php
I'll give you a hand in-game if you ever need a wing man, just add me to your friends list @Tain_Lives.
If you check out the STO forums https://ufplanets.com/forumdisplay.p...ar-Trek-Online You will find lots of helpful hints.
Check out Bridger's ship builds for great tips on how to get the best ship builds, all mine are in some way based off his.

Welcome aboard! There's plenty of help, chat and good old fashioned fun on offer from many quarters, so I think you'll enjoy your time here. There tends to be nearly always people online throughout the day in STO so you'll find plenty of folks to have a bit of banter with.

Howdy!
There are a few things you might need to do right off the top:
- Check the C-Store for any freebies you might be entitled to. Instead of a price it will say Available
- Do the same thing with the Dilithium Store. Anything you can grab will be in the Reclaim tab.
- Add UFPlanets to your in-game chat.
- Get started on the Anniversary Episode. You can still get the Bajoran ship and all of the goodies that go with it.
- Get your feet back under you before you go spending any cash.
- Collect Batteries and Martinis and Ore on the Colony World. (You must do this immediately or you will be assimilated.)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Many people will be more than glad to help where they can. Just not me. I won't help anyone. I'm a bit of a bastard. Don't even bother.
