Deaf Star Trek fan seeking casual fleet

Greeting,
Allow me short intro myself; I'm Ray and deaf Star Trek fan, I not often play STO until few days ago thanks to 4th years of STO and I admit I'm still newbie, but I'm curious about STO's guild system known as fleets. Although I'm often solo, but I like to join casual fleet but I want to know is any advantages to be fleet member? I think I not will be lot active myself but I like to play STO just for fun. Oh yeah.. my character is only level 15. currently doing daily Q quest. I love space battle but I not good at ground battle though.

Anyhow, since I'm deaf, so please no voice comm. requirement for fleet. I understand it might help for most peoples for like as raid or something like that but not me. I also prefer PvE, not PvP nor RP.
And no mandatory jobs/tasks but I like to help fleet if I have time but not often, sorry about it.
I hope it is good for me for fleet, I know it is not much for me in your fleet, but I'm too nice. :)
Thanks for your time to read my post,
Ray

    Right now you will likely not see the full benefits of a fleet until you are lvl 50. The main advantage you will see is if you get stuck in a mission you can type in a fleet or alliance wide chat and have someone with a lvl 50 super cruiser fly on and kill everything. If the fleet has a lot of typists then you will likely learn a lot of tricks just from paying attention. The group I fly with (fed alliance) has a lot of heavy typers, but we also use teamspeak (voice comm) a lot. So sometimes you maybe only getting half the conversation.

    Right now don't join a fleet that has donation requirements, you would be better served just running the missions and learning/enjoying the game right now.

    If there is anyway I can help just send me an in game mail @natorepublic.

    Ahoy, mate! New Legacy Fleet is a casual fleet of all types of players. Some log on everyday and others log on once in a while. Some of us love PVE and others love PvP. Some like both :) It doesn't matter what level you are, we would love to have you. Everyone starts as a newbie, we all learn as we go. Our motto is Real Life First so you don't need to worry about how often you log on.

    There are several benefits to being in a fleet. One, you are not alone :P There are people that are willing to drop what they are doing and help you out. Another is access to ships and equipment that can only be bought from a fleet store. Last, there are the fleet projects that everyone can take pride in.

    Come see our fleet website, New Legacy Guild , for more information about us.

    Hi,

    Plus as @texasborn say, you have "services" when you are in a fleet, and no matter the level your character is.

    Which I call a "service"?

    - Tranwarp gate to several sectors
    - Option to move to other sectors using shuttle starbase
    - Special missions to get free duty officers
    - store to buy special items, bridge officers,
    duty officers, commodities at low cost

    If you have a not level 50 character then some items MK X+
    are restricted, but not the duty officers and bridge officers.

    Every facility has a bank and mail. Exchange only in others.

    In our fleet we use voice comm software but is not mandatory,
    and we always use the chat and conversation don't use both
    channels at same time.
    We have a website sedf.guildportal.com.

    If you don't join yet a fleet, I invite you to spend some days
    with us and later you can decide to stay or go.

    You can find the In-game icon in the upper-right corner, is like an Envelope.

    You only have 2 tabs, Inbox and Compose.

    Compose work in this way:

    - If the player is online, writing the first letters the system will list online characters(players).
    (also work in chat and for private messages)
    - Always you can write a in-game mail if have the full name or replying one mail from inbox.
    - Also the system accept a in-game mail if you use only the "@user".

    Thats how you can contact any of us inside the game. Our names are the username, in my case "woodcat5" you have to compose a in-game mail to "@woodcat5".

    In this type of game the players teach each other and new ones, fill free to ask if don't know something. Always someone will answer, in the chat or by PM (private message).
