First of all - OP, I'm very glad that this game we all share together, have fun and experience enjoyment from has helped you go through challenging times. Star Trek has the tendency to have that ability and so does STO. It's really amazing that the game we play together has the power to have such a positive influence in so many lives as players have reported here on the forums and I'm really happy to hear that.
Then, I'd just like to add that I also find STO an amazing MMO with milions of things to get busy with and pass the time without noticing. I always play the game with a smile on my face.
I grew up watching Star Trek: TNG with my father who is also a big Trek fan. When I was younger I often imagined how cool it would be to have a game where I could be a player in the Trek universe and participate in similar things to the ones I saw in the shows I love so much. Then, there was Bridge Commander and I though how nice it would be if I could select my own bridge crew. And then finally came STO, providing all that I wanted from a gaming experience and much much more.
So thank you devs. for making this possible and thank you STO for letting me be a part of my favourite Trek universe.
You are right this game has brought entertainment and even therapy to people all over the world and has brought together people of all ages and social status into one place as a part of a greater whole. So I want to pass my Thanks not only to the STO DEVs but also to the worldwide community that makes this game therapeutic for me.
otisnoble- Its nice to hear that the game has been a source of enjoyment for you aswell, I personally down in my heart love Star Trek Online and belive its a fantastic game down to all of Cryptic's Hard Work and that it still 3 years in has tremendous potential!
Thankyou Cryptic! Star Trek Online can be your everlasting "Legacy"

I never thought I would enjoy being disabled and retired but because of this I can play STO all the time and no one says I'm wasting my time. This game helps me keep my mind active and helps me cognitively, intellectually and emotionally. I just want to say thank you to all the DEVs, Techs and everyone else who make this game possible. Your hard work and dedication to detail and quality control have given me a reason to get up in the morning. I look forward to each day because I am able to loose myself in this great game.
I have actually considered giving lectures at Starfleet Academy, and hopefully spark the idea of having the simple social zone become a place of learning as well. In my case, I am writing up an in-depth history of early Human Spaceflight, from Sputnik in 1957 to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. Basically the "space race" from start to finish. I felt STO was an appropriate venue for such a lecture/discussion.

A lofty goal but one worthy of a Starfleet Officer for by teaching about our past accomplishments we can be driven to reach farther beyond the mundane to truly go where no one has gone before.

I just hope I can create some awareness, and once the day comes, enough people are interested to attend. I still have a lot of writing to do yet before I am ready for any kind of presentation. Well, I could break it up into parts, as I am already on 10 pages, only reaching August '61 (Titov).

If you break the lectures up into blocks that cover Decades it might be manageable.

Well, my first priority is to finish it, so I can figure out exactly how to stretch the blocks. Once you reach 1968 - 1972, there gets to be just so much information that each year will have to have its own block. And not really solid information, but more the "story" of the events, and why they were important. I don't wanna bore everyone with facts and figures. My goal is to spark interest and inspire people, not push them away :P
Of course, my PRIMARY goal is to find those people who still say the moon landing is a hoax (because the only mission they know of is the landing itself) and show the chain of events and all the time and effort and manpower it took to reach that goal.
I find it sad when people don't even know who Jim Lovell, Michael Collins, Gus Grissom, or even John Glenn are.

Thank you for all the kind words. This is truly the greatest reward a developer could ever ask for.
Live long and prosper.
It's nothing you don't deserve. Kind words that are true are words uttered from the heart.
