The Blacksheep is a casual fleet with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We are
a collection of misfits and screwballs
; a social group with a slight Star Trek addiction.
We are on STO because we have a love for Star Trek, and we want to have fun. If its not fun, then why do it?
Some of the features of the Blacksheep:
Casual Fleet We understand that for many of us, real life events take priority over computer games, and because of this you cant be on here any time you choose. We are a relaxed and fun group. There are no mandatory meetings; no mandatory events; no mandatory fleet uniform. We do have a fleet patch, but wearing it is strictly your decision.
Simple yet organized We know that some rules must be in place to keep things running smooth, so we have a simple, streamlined code we go by, overseen by the Fleet Council, our governing body. Even if some of our leadership were away for an extended period, the fleet would still run smooth. We have members who love to help, and always try to answer questions.
Open to most Star Trek Online consists of players of all ages from all over the world. We are looking for players with a good attitude, who like to help others, and want to have a good time. We know that age doesn't always reflect a persons character. There are minors that have traits far beyond their years, and there are seniors that you would believe are still in elementary school. If you like helping others, treat people with courtesy, and looking to have fun, you will probably fit right in no matter the age. Most of our members are over the age of 18, but not all.
Fleet tools We have a web site that contains a Forum, Gallery, News area, and more. The site allows our members to exchange ideas and information and gives another outlet to have a good time. We also have a Vent server available for fleet use.
No heavy-handed recruiting You will never see us shout out spam recruiting messages, and we will never send blind invites. When we run across people who seem like they would fit in with the Blacksheep, we might chat with them and inquire if they would be interested. We would rather go slow and treat people as we would want to be treated and find good folks, than blindly go on a recruiting blitz.
We are not looking to become the largest, fastest growing group. Rather, we want quality people who wish to have a good time in a relaxed atmosphere. It is our hope that by maintaining this philosophy, we will strengthen with a caliber of individuals you rarely see.
If you are interested in joining, or want more information, please feel free send an in-game message to @Troubl or reply to this thread. You can preview our site at http://fedblacksheep.enjin.com/. Upon joining the Blacksheep, you will be given full access to the site.
Wishing you fair winds and smooth sailing,
The Blacksheep

Scotty TOS, Worf TNG, or maybe Tuvok Voyager, Definatly T'pol from Enterpise.
Also, thanks everyone for your help in talking with the returning members on STO, in answering all their questions. You guys represent the fleet well! Great job! :cool:
And to those members that joined, or inquired about the fleet due to their efforts, dont be afraid of any questions you might have. We have all been there at one time. I often still feel like a noob! Well do our best to answer your questions.
Wishing you fair winds and smooth sailing,
Captain Ron@Troubl
Glad you like it... I think it looks pretty clean and professional.
Glad you're feeling better too. We did the STF's you had planned in your absence. It's good to have you back!
I think I'll register over there and give the fleet site a spin. Applications on the fleet site somewhere?
Howdie BumblingBee!
No, the way we do it, once a member joins the fleet on STO, then we give him full access to our site. Worst case, you join the fleet, you decide it's not quite right for you, and you leave!
I'd be happy to chat with you if you have any questions, or throw me a message. Where ever you wind up, hope you're having fun with it!

We will soon have a sister fleet for those wanting to put their klingon toons in the klingon side of the Blacksheep.
Though we hadnt announced it on this thread, we had temporarily suspended recruiting. We had received so many recruits, we needed to slow down and make sure new members got the proper attention needed before bringing in more folks. We do not want to grow so fast that new members feel like they are being ignored we want to ensure this is a positive experience for people on STO.
If you would like more info about the Blacksheep, feel free to send an in-game message to @Troubl, reply to this post, or go to our site:

As always, you folks have been great helping out the new members keep it up! Once things slow down at work, youll see me on the game more, and Ill get back helping the new members, crafting, hosting events, farming, etc.
Oh, and thanks to all the Fleet Council members that have stepped up while Ive been busy. That bank can get very cluttered very fast if it isn't maintained, and several of you have done a great job staying on top of that. Much appreciated!
we now have it.
with that said, the Fed Blacksheep is the fairest Fleet I've found in 2 years of searching,
there are no dictatores and ranking up in fleet is the fairest if ever seen,It's voted on.
so theres no favoritism. It's casual and we do relize that real life comes first.
We encourage questions no matter what the question is or what rank your at, and will
help in any way we can be it newcomer or vet.
please reply to this post or the contact info at the begining of the thread.
If you'd like an invite to the fleet, send me a msg with your toon name and @handle and I'll get that taken care of. All the best to you!
Yes sir, yes sir, 3 bags full!
One for the Federation, one for the Borg and one for the simpleton's of Morg and Eymorg.
Blacksheep is awesome everyone, couldn't ask for a better fleet
For anyone that posts any messages on here, please forgive me if Im slow in replying. Im currently travelling again. In fact, at this moment Im 38,000 feet above the fruited plains.
Again, its a pleasure having you folks in the fleet and Ive been enjoying every minute with you!
