Is there anywhere that a multi rank fleet can go together?

Ok so my fleet is made up of alot of people of various ranks. Is there some activity we can partake in together? A Fleet Action or PVP? IT seems like everywhere we go we get seprated due to Rank Restrictions.

    you must be mistaken, if that was true it would destroy the one social aspect of this game other than reporting gold spammers in zone

    I'm pretty sure that they accomplished what he's complaining about when they tiered the ranks for fleet actions.

    In a word NO. Not with the new patch. No fleet actions for fleets I'm afraid. Unless you all level 25:)

    Well I realy think something should be added in or changed so that a fleet can run some activities togher. Hard to organize events if only certain people can go.

    I hate to say it, but they could "Rank" the fleets, like WoW is going to rank Guilds (sorry - just say'n, don't hate). So Fleets of near equal fleet rank could PvP together.

    I havent tried it, but cant you group up and go on any mission in the game that you've run in the past as a fleet together? I ask in honesty, because I havent tried myself.

    Possibly but I am talking about perhaps The Crystalline Entity, Starbase 24 or some PVP. I havent been able to enter any of these with leser ranks since update. It does take away from the social aspect of the game and reduces the need for fleets.

    I think you can go on missions that you've run in the past. I think thats it.

    I can understand where you are coming from though.

    The reason they made the fleet actions level specific was because high ranking people were coming in and taking all the loot and selling it on the exchange. The people who were level appropriate for the fleet action were sometimes not getting any drops. It caused an unfair environment.

    Which of course has nothing to do with you or why you are wanting to go there with your friends. Its a shame really. I think your only option is to go on missions youve run in the past. Or, you could maybe take them all to an advanced Enemy Encounter mission. Or maybe Exploration. Or even a patrol or two.

    So there are options. At least I think there are. Just not fleet actions unfortunately. Which is kind of funny in a way because its called a " Fleet Action", but it doesnt really work that way. :(

    Ok so it sounds like fleet operations (as in our fleet doing someting as a group) is going to be a proplem. I am not complaining about this game this is an awsome game and I love it, but it would be nice to have something to do as a Fleet.

    Any other Ideas?

    This is exactly the problem that "sidekicking" (for lack of an in-IP term) will solve, and it is on the list already. Stay tuned :-)

    Well....


    double you tee eff.

    Most places would put the sidekicking feature in before breaking the game and asking people to wait a month to team with fleet members again.

    Not that I'm in a fleet :(

    It was actually in STO during CB. My guess is they took it out because something somewhere was not working right.

    It might be good to revist the whole Fleet Action level banding. I tried a couple last night at Lt. Comder and they were empty of people. There were maybe 4 live bodies in SB 24 Fleet Action. I totally was owned by the computer without more help.

    Thanks,
    Duncan

    I do wonder how party sidekicking will be explained canon-wise in STO. I mean in CO your sidekick is weaker than you (Wearing their level gear so lower defense) but is able to fight with you (Your level and stats). This would work for ground just fine.

    But how do you explain sidekicking ships? Would require people to choose a "sidekick-to-ship" in advance to not be upgraded to a ship configuration they don't like. Like what if I want a Star Cruiser and not an Assault Cruiser when SKing to a RA5? And the look of ships you get upgraded to. Maybe let people choose their ship look in advance for ships they don't have. Stuff like that.

    And speaking of FAs, the night before the patch went up I did my DSE mission for the heck of it. It took like three hours because in between the laging and having to wait for respawn to actually work, I was getting blasted by +12 and +36 enemy ships. I don't miss this one bit, but I do agree that level banded DSEs and FAs might lead to a lack of people in the same level band as you, and being able to complete it.

    @KarlB: Roleplaying together is fun. Set up a Fleet Night at Quark's. Or just get everybody together on somebody's bridge and hang out. My fleet will be having a trivia night fairly soon and that should be fun. :)
