Starfleet Dental: The FLEET of the FUTURE

(NOTE: All new members receive a 10 million ec sign-up bonus and, after a probationary period of one month, a lockbox ship of their choice)



In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Dear Leader, and the Word was Free Arus.
The same was in the beginning with Dear Leader.
All things were extinguished by him; and without him was not any thing made that was not extinguished.
In him was life; and the life was the light of dentistry.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the pubbies comprehended it not.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into Drozana.
And the Word was made enamel, and dwelt among us, full of grace and tooth.
And of his fulness have all we received, and braces for Lisa.
For the law was given by Dear Leader, but grace and truth came by Butts.

- "Beginnings," the Book of Butts.



Captains:
Do these words resonate with you? Do they stir the soul out of its long slumber, and does this soul, once reanimated, once alive and alert, thirst for more? Does it hunger for meaning, for something greater than itself, and, indeed, greater than all of us?

Friend: You are not alone. Far from it. These words have brought hundreds, if not thousands, of fellow players together, all seeking something: consolation, community, camaraderie. We began as a motley crew of transients, dreamers, bleeding-hearts -- all brought together for a purpose: to bring peace and order to the mess that is Star Trek Online.

WE are living in dark times. The Devs have abandoned you, players; they have left you behind to fend for yourselves. Discontent has spread, and the community moderators have vanished. Yet there is still a force, a presence, that welcomes all with open arms, with love, with the belief that we are all in this together, and that only we can make this game a better place. This presence is the Dear Leader.

AS we stand amidst the wreckage of Delta Rising, we ask you to join us, to stand side by side with the most respected, most valuable players in the game to rebuild what we've lost, to create a new era in the game were all are treated with respect as long as no ERP is committed.

DO not forget, friends, the forces that have helped you flourish, for that hand that feeds belongs not to whom you expect. A recap:

- Our Sister Fleet, Nerds of Prey, smashed through the nefarious cartels that robbed players blind for T-5 starbase items. They now cost ZERO ec to access, and invites are freely given on the NOPPublicService channel, one of the LARGEST in-game chat channels of over 9,000 players.

- Our associate fleet, our benevolent overlords, the real hands of the Dear Leader, Shutup Wesley has graciously held a giveaway event unparalleled in STO history: Six BILLION ec worth of lockbox ships, rare items, and so forth given away to players participating in their holiday games.


- Starfleet Dental and Nerds of Prey have also, over the years, held smaller giveaway events of roughly 1 billion ec worth of items, given to players on a first-come, first-serve basis.

To date, NO ONE, not even Cryptic, has held giveaways even resembling the magnitude of the Dental fleets.


To be a DENTAL is to serve your fellow player, to take the Tholian robes off your back -- even if it is the only item you have in the game -- and give them to a player with less than you. This is what the Dear Leader wanted, and this is how we strive to live, both in-game and out.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

-Dedication
-Loyalty
-A strong moral foundation
-A heart brimming with love and respect for your fellow man (or Klingon, Romulan, etc..)
-A rudimentary knowledge of the game.

We WILL train you; we WILL clothe you, supply you with the best lockbox ships, give you a stipend of EC to build you up, and, most importantly, we WILL NEVER leave your side.

We are STARFLEET DENTAL: The FIRST fleet; The FINEST fleet.

Taken from the previous thread:
Webster's Dictionary defines dentistry as:
The profession or science dealing with the prevention and treatment of diseases and malformations of the teeth, gums, and oral cavity
But with all respect to Websters, there's dentistry, and then there's Starfleet Dentistry.

These words are as true today as when they were written, years before, in the first (now closed, for some reason) Starfleet Dental recruitment thread. HERE is the link, should you so wish to read it.

We thank you for your time, Captain, and we hope -- no, we PRAY -- that you will link up with your fellow players to push through this time of fog, of decay, of uncertainty and dismay, and come out all the better, all the stronger, on the other side.

NOTE TO MODS: Please leave this thread OPEN so other players can express interest. We have it from a previous mod posting that the necro rule doesn't apply to this subforum (posted below), so we'd appreciate a little consistency on your part. Thanks in advance.

We understand that the bumping of fleet threads is going to happen, and we turn a blind eye to this in that area of the forums. I would love to see some fleets come up with ways to bump their threads without having to use the word, "Bump" however. (Note: doing so will likely actually improve your recruitment numbers.)

    Before I joined Dental I was dying in story missions dozens of times. Now I fly a Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier and have the first place trophy for many instances (a feat I don't even need the JHDC for).

    I just wish Cryptic would hurry up with Fleet T6 ships so those of us in Dental and NoP can start giving free access to them for anyone without their own upgraded shipyard.

    But you know what? I guess it doesn't matter now does it? By being allowed to visit their studios Cryptic has pretty much signed off on you and your fleet haven't they? They've said in deed what most of us have suspected for years. They're not going to stop you. They're not going to correct you. You won. After long last, you really, really won. STO is yours and no one is going to do a thing about it. Congratulations.

    Hey Nbreeki!

    I am really happy to see this thread back up. If anyone needs help with how to make canonized characters for your special role play costume (not ERP), do not be afraid to ask!:D

    Feel free to share first-hand testimonials of your experiences with Dental!

    I remember roleplaying with brothers and sisters in the House of Orions, when the roleplay venue was suffering major gas leaks and was at risk to have fires spread wild.

    It was chaos. It was pandemonium. People, mostly bleached white Orions, were screaming bloody murder. But it was fire safety technicians and medical staff on deck from Starfleet that kept the calm, and lead some of us to safety, medical check-ups, and refreshments.

    One of the most amazing bits of impromptu and all-inclusive roleplay I have had the pleasure to enjoy, and have ever since enjoyed with the lads and ladies of Dental. Following that, also parties and giveaways. They know how to cause a ruckus and add to the atmosphere of any social venue that isn't rehearsing terribly typed out (but hey, we enjoy it) drama.

    The party and giveaway recently sponsored by Shutup Wesley was a lot of fun. Fun is something this game currently is short on. There always seem to be a few whom cannot wait to say bad things about this group whenever they appear on these forums.

    Yet whenever this group does something nice like the party and giveaway mentioned above or the access they give to T5 ships and equipment thru their public service channel, these same people with their stories of trolls and other ridiculous incidents are nowhere to be seen.

    Ain't that peculiar?

    Until the party, I have had little contact with anyone from this group. Either here or ingame. All of them seemed gracious and pleasant to be around during the party. I have witnessed none of the things they've been repeatedly accused of ever occurring.

    I don't really have a dog in this fight. I like the Fleet I am in. I've no reason to jump ship. But to watch people come out over and over and trash talk this group of people is tiresome. Especially when you consider the following.

    1) StarFleet Dental's story.
    2) The other guy's story.
    3) What actually happened.

    It's a game. Some of the people on this planet who also play this game may not like you. Deal with it or move on.

    my 2 EC.

    EDIT: Thanks for the stuff from the party, guys. Much appreciated.

    Alrighty I've gone ahead and deleted a bunch of posts on this thread. Please note this has nothing to do with any affiliation to dental (which apparently I'm blamed of being apart of every time I do a moderator action), but on the sole grounds that harassing, trolling etc anyone on the forums is against TOS and that will be enforced.


    So please only reply to this thread if you have a recruitment question for dental, or if they are advertising fleet functions.

    Now I return you to your regular recruitment thread :P

    Generally where 90% of the sto pop hangs out now in DR: Argala et al. There are still a few of us who hang around Droz from time to time but quite a few are enjoying spending all their time earning all those specialisation points.

    It is really comforting to know this! Before, I was starting to worry over the recent Dilithium cuts that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the game and reach the goals I've wanted to reach over the past 2 years. After listening to your advice, I'm enjoying the game once more!:cool:

    Is it true that the people in your fleets with lots of dil actually upgrade other fleet members gear for them?

    That can't be true! I know tons of people who would wish that would be the case, but nobody in their right mind would ever do such a thing.

    I'm not Dental nor affiliated with them and I have done this for Fleet mates. Since they offer the NoP Public service channel to the rest of us, it is not unreasonable to assume some of them may do this occasionally. Way back in Ought Twelve when I was beginning this game, someone purchased a ship for me and asked only that I pass along the favor to someone down the line as payment. Something I was quite pleased to do when the opportunity finally came around.

    Purchased a pair of TR116b Rifles off the Exchange and mailed them to a pair of Fleeties who had just made 50 as a congrats present. I once gave a MU Negh'Var to a complete stranger who had posted here how much they really wanted one. TBH, I was surprised both times at how good it felt to do this. Pretty much made my day. Significantly moved my attitude about STO towards positive as well. Win win, I'd say.

    Despite its legion of faults which get displayed here daily, STO remains a fun way to waste a couple of hours. Provided one does not allow STO to become one's sole reason for existence. Helping someone else enjoy the game through purchasing gear for them or showing them a better way to set up a ship or Away Team is an enjoyable experience. As I discovered by 'paying back' the guy who gave me that MU Qin I was all hot for gratis all those years ago.

    EDIT: I highly suggest trying this. After I did it, I understood completely why NoP Public Service Channel exists.
    Bravo, Dental! Well Done! Well Done, indeed!

    Truly magnificent people, dedicating their lives to Dear Leader!

    Bumped into Railrokh by chance, and he has been very kind to me.
    Joined the Academy around 2-3 days ago, so far absolutely loving it.

    I am writing a report roughly each day (as best as I can), since those are my personal orders,
    but I will do whatever it takes to be able to serve & assist this great group & fellow human!

    Gifted so many items & EC to random people who needed it & never asked for anything myself,
    and the fleet I was in was unstable & didn't make you feel rewarded..

    My caries need to be filled.. & it's only the thought of Dear Leader & Dental,
    that makes be able to suppress the pain & keep my spirit lifted!

    *salutes*!

    Sidenote:
    Nabreeki, is it ok if I send you an in-game friend invite?
    I have heard many good things about you & cannot wait to meet you :)

    I was able to converse with railroak in game, and was disappointed to hear about the 10 mil deposit. As a realativly new player with limited time during the week, my ec pool is never much more than 100 thousand at any given time. Is there anyway I can receive some help with this? Or will I just have to tough it out for like a month? Thanks in advance :D

    Well.. I guess I can give you 10 million, no problem.
    It is my last money, but you need it more then I do :)

    Post here when you know you are online.
