NEW STO Game Info and Academy Index

edited January 2013 in The Academy
I have gone through the old index that Tatanka had started and transferred what I thought was the most relevant information over to this thread. I know this seems redundant, but since Tatanka is no longer active, there is no way for anyone to edit or update his information, save for a moderator. I don't have any plans of leaving the game (lifetime subscriber), so hopefully, I can keep some of the good information that is out there (way too much for it all to be stickied) indexed in one location and easy to find. If anyone thinks I omitted anything that should be indexed or has any suggestions, please let me know.

Also I should point out; I do not necessarily endorse all of the threads listed OPs as the end all beat all to the topic specified. It is worth it to read through the comments in the threads as well for some well thought out discussion and dissension to what the OP posted. In a nutshell, read through the threads and make your own judgment to what best suits your play style.

NOTICE
Due to update forum guidelines and policies, some of these threads may be in danger of being deleted if they are idle for thirty days or more. Some of these threads have good information that does not change or update on a monthly basis. If you think these threads provide good information, you need to help keep them from deletion.
How can you do this? You can let the authors of these threads know they have done a good job by saying so. This does not mean that the same person says "good info" over and over again every thirty days, because that would be spammy. But if different people were to do so, or to ask questions of anything they are unclear of in a particular thread, that would help to keep them active. Even if the OP author is no longer active, anyone can answer a question they may know the answer to. Even if they don't, it keeps the thread valid.
If the OP authors of these threads can help themselves by providing any kind of new info on a monthly basis, that would help their own cause as well (some OPs already do this).
Just remember, you cannot spam threads with obvious "bumps."

Credit goes to Tatanka for starting the first index and to all of the people who spent much time gathering, testing, and posting the information provided.

    I guess I need better bionic eyeballs. The Mk I's are getting old.

    I know the feeling. ;)

    I ran through the old thread and put in any requests for additions after Tatanka went inactive.

    I don't see the diplomacy guide. Although it does have its own sticky.

    My priority was to get non-stickied info first, but I've added it now.

    I have updated the index with a section for Game Development News and Information. Here will be a one-stop shop for the most popular dev reports, particularly Engineering reports, Ask Cryptic Q&As, and State of the Game reports. I might also add any other Dev responses and news of note as I see them on the forums. I will update with the latest reports as they become available.

    Updated with new addition.

    EDIT: If you have a guide or something else useful you want listed here, or if you know of something that should be listed, please post the link here.

    Is it possible to get the old guide removed and get this new guide stickied?

    For that matter there are a number of useful forum posts that also should be stickied. We got the ship tier charts and other things stickied early on, but since then the mods don't seem to be paying much attention to this forum.

    Quick thought - perhaps when you update the original post, you could put a date next to the updated part so that we can see how long ago it was updated?

    :):)

    I'll consider it. My plan was to leave the "new" and "updated" tags for only a week or two before removing them, but I may date them in the future so that I can keep track of how long they've been there.

    the linked accolade list is out of date, hasn't been updated since season 2 (or so I've been told).
    you might want to find an uptodate link instead.

    I will look, but if anyone has a link to a more up-to-date list, feel free to post it here.

    No, but I would really like one. :) I have sent PMs to Stormshade and Info-Ninja to no avail. I may need to step up my request campaign (I'm sure they get a lot of PMs, and requests such as these can get lost in the sea of requests for android tribbles, etc). In the meantime, the current workaround would be to subscribe to this thread.
