Fleet Disbanded

Fairly recently, myself and a group of friends left one fleet and formed a new one. Since then, we have worked our butts off to get to tier 1 Embassy, almost tier 2 Starbase, with every possible special project completed (That's 2.6 MILLION Dilithium, on special projects alone - Probably around 3 million Dil in total).
Today, I find out that one of the people who joined us in transferring to this new fleet has emptied our fleet bank, kicked everyone from the fleet, and disbanded it. I will be reporting her later, as soon as I get in game, but that will have to be after work.
In the meantime, can anyone offer us any hope that this might be resolved in a positive way, or are we just doomed to have to start over... again?

That sucks, you should be glad this is not one of the other space pew pew games.
By having a look at the ToS (especially 10. User Conduct) I'd guess that the GM's will probably be able to help you. This is just my guess though.
if so you might be in with a chance
(please do NOT name them here however)
If she was able to disband the fleet it means that the leadership gave her the ability to do so. Also by promoting her to a leadership position she has also gained ownership of the fleet in a degree so again she had a right to do it.
That's at least what I'd expect to hear as a response from the GM, I hope you won't hear that and you'll actually get this resolved but as I said the chances are slim to none, sorry...
On the road where the dead years run
Cold as moonlight
Terrible as the sun
Hey mate. She just turned up on our fleet forums, so I pm'ed her asking why she did it. I doubt I'll get a response.
Possibly, but I hope not. Not even for the sake of getting our fleet back, but just for those people who worked their assess off to get us up to almost tier 2 in the space of about 3 weeks.
As for the leadership giving her the ability to dissolve our fleet, maybe they did, but our fleet leader has been in the same fleet as her for, I believe, several years, and she has never shown any inclination to do anything like this before, and yes, she did have responsibilities in our old fleet before we formed this one.
He's dead, Jim.
It isn't, but I wasn't really sure where else to place it, so it came here as this is probably the most likely place for it to be spotted by the devs.
I can help, you all are invited to join a fleet I run its a Tier 4, most friendly, and very active.
This way it's a step ahead and not a loss, I can also give you high Fleet ranks for your officers.
Please feel free to use the forum PM to send me your at names.
If you give people roles and permissions, expect them to use them, whether for the betterment of the fleet, or in this case, for ill.
That said... could be worse: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/180867/features/murder-incorporated/ :P
Edit: Subspace Radio Fed side and House of Subspace Radio KDF - forgot to add the fleet names.

That's insane!!!
Edit: I just finished reading all 5 pages of that article. Now THAT, gentlemen, is how you organise an in-game event, lol. And I see our fleet thief/disbander has a looong way to go.
Thanks for the offer Reaper
Alea, SSR is a pretty famous fleet, lol - SubSpace Radio.
It's one of the most beautiful aspects of Eve.
The backstabbing going on there has near mythical status - so the game is ripe with paranoia.
Very nice.
He's dead, Jim.
Fleet Roster = 490
Fleet Promotions = via helping others
Fleet Website - www.omegaprimary.tk
Fleet Starbase Tier = 4 working on completing Tier 5
Doing that kind of damage and imagining how much time the victims had spent ingame amassing it, my guess is that it probably wouldn't be unlikely for the victims to come after the robbers IRL if they'd ever found out their names...
MMOs, You will never find a more Wretched hive of scum and Villainy.
That would only tell us one thing:
Those people putting so much effort into a videogame are mentally unstable.
I don't think many would even consider any reallife actions:
It would be immature, foolish and unprofessional.
You get back at them ingame.
Obtain their Frozen Corpse (tm).
This might in fact be the background to the story mentioned.
He's dead, Jim.
I thought that was Drozana station?
and on that day they will find out the hard way that people have NO mercy on scum
(example A person some years ago in a game run by another company crash and burned a major guild two years later he boasted about it on facebook , a month later a new "female friend" agreed to meet him "irl" and "hook up" when he turned up at the meeting it was infact 2 members of the original guild with a court summons they sued him for loss of assets and damages its amazing what you can sue for in the European courts.
He is VERY lucky it could have been 5 guys with baseball bats)
Hate tpo say it but if the bolded part is indeed the case, you'll get no help from Cryptic (nor would you in any other MMO) because since the Leadership did give her a position wityh those rights, she did nothing that breaks the TOS or EULA.
If she wasn't given those rights and they find it was some kind of hack - then that's different, but if someone with teh ability to dio so gave her the rights, that's his/her mistake, not Cryptic's.
It sucks to be sure (and I've encountered situations like this personally myself across MMOs I've played including EverQuest and WoW) - and it's a reason (usually) a Gulid leader leaves the ultimate power of kicking or disbanding a Guild to himself and NO ONE ELSE.
Guild drama in MMOs just plain suck; and you NEVER KNOW what might set a person (who you consider 'trustworthy and 'normal' off.
(In my EQ days it really was just because someone changed the background theme picture on the official Guild website. <--- That simple act lead to turmoil in the Guild Officer ranks and the mas kicking of everyone from the Guild and is disbandment. I'd been with the Guild and it had run well for over a year up to that point.)
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
If it makes you feel any better, most of us consider this kind of behavior bad, I personally consider it dishonorable and very much uncouth. My sympathy bro, but the only one to blame here is your fleet, not anyone else.
I am unsure how the permissions can be set for one fleet leader to kick out other fleet leaders, but obviously that should not happen. I am not sure if that was your fault or Cryptic's.
Best of luck to you.
It can easily happen when the fleet leader is absent for 30 days or more. The fleet then becomes fair game for the next in line.
If a person claims leadership in that time, they are (self) promoted and have the same rights and privileges as the fleet owner. It's not an exploit, the system is designed that way in order to help preserve fleets.
An important point to consider if you're not going to play for a while, even as a leader.
Oh man, I'm glad that kind of thing simply isn't possible in STO, at least not to that degree.
