Core Values define who Omega Primary is and what we are not.

Core Values define who Omega Primary is and what we are not. They define boundaries of what actions and behaviors are acceptable and which ones are not, they hold us accountable -as individuals and as a group- and they guide every decision we make. It is through our belief in, and application of, our Core Values that our great reputation and constant growth, is built.

Our Core Values are not words and concepts that we toss around lightly, or pay homage to through empty lip service. They are not words that we simply chose at random, without thought and consideration. Omega Primary?s Core Values, representing both Federate and Brotherhood fleets, were carefully crafted by Fleet Management and Command. They were developed from years of accumulated knowledge, experience and mistake making ? gained not just from the universe of STO, but also from numerous other fleet and guild based MMOs ? and will continue to evolve and grow, as both fleets do.



Core Values
Teamwork Conscientiousness Individualism Open Dialogue

Courtesy Fun and Excitement Positive Attitude Accountability



?That?s great but do you really believe in your Core Values listed??
GREAT QUESTION! And one that everyone should consider before joining a fleet, especially since a.) a shocking number of them consist of high ranked and experienced players who allow or promote unethical and inappropriate behaviors ? like taking monetary advantage of new recruits or making them feel inadequate because they are an STO ?newbie?, and b.) a shocking number of fleets have such a high turnover rate for new members because Management and Command does nothing to curb the negative attitudes and behaviors of its more experienced players. Good people end up hating the fleet, or worse the game, and end up leaving both.

Here is a list of some of the most common and problematic issues found in typical fleets. Ones that Omega Primary?s Core Values have helped recognize as problems waiting to explode into cataclysmic events, but prevented from happening:

You will never be charged a fee for fleet membership.
We do not tolerate individuals with elitist attitudes who imply or outright state that fleet members [should/must] invest in higher cost weapons and gear. Not everyone has the same spending power and nor do they have the same interests when playing STO ? Management and Command is just fine with that.
We do not tolerate individuals with elitist attitudes who [do not allow/make comments about] other fleet members joining their team because they are not as good of a player, or because their weaker and less expensive weapons and gear slows the team down and reduces end-of-mission rewards. We don?t leave anyone behind, ever. If you want in a team and mission, you?re in!
We do not tolerate fleet members who create negative environments by constantly bashing STO and its developers for ?bug?, ?fix? and ?content?. This constant (opinion based) commentary incites negative feelings and attitudes about playing STO and being part of a fleet, it diminishes excitablity and fun, and insults those fleet members who are happy with all things great about STO. These conversations and anyone who wants to join them should go to our ?Quark?s Bar? Team Speak channel ? perfect for open dialogue and free speech in a place that will not offend others.
Communicating that DPS (damage per second) is the all-important, end-all and be-all of playing STO and that everyone should think the same way, is elitist and not tolerated. This mentality causes players, especially new ones, to feel insecure, inadequate and ineffective. It also says that ?You don?t belong in the fleet if you don?t think the same way?. Everyone has their own reasons for playing STO and being part of a fleet ? Omega Primary supports every one of them, so long as they don?t conflict with the Code of Conduct and Core Values).
Fleet Management and Command who refuses to recognize and address problems, or who acts/behaves against the heart of Omega Primary?s Core Values and Code of Conduct will be demoted and in some cases possible face Extraordinary Measures Action.
