I don't know if this is the right place for this, feel free to move if necessary.
Well, today I read the guest blog on Starbase 381, so I decided to try RP for the first time. I was doing pretty well, until the accidents started happening. First, I accidentally tried to mess with a personal character background for one person, then I told someone I would go "inspect the tactical systems with them, and completely forgot to do so, and finally, I completely annoyed one of the station members by asking him questions about RP'ing which, now that I look back at them, we're probably best to be saved for the forums. Well, at least tomorrow is a new day, and will bring new, hopefully better, RP experiences for me.

Edited to add: I also concur with the suggestion of the STORP channel.
Sort of. There's a fleet called the 26th Fleet that's started opening their starbase for the roleplay community. You can request docking clearance in their channel (SB381) and they'll send you an invite to the interior where you can roleplay with members of the fleet and community. It's a lot of fun and it's really exciting to see so much interest in roleplaying. You should give it a shot if you're interested.
no not really, it just so happens someone has a Fleet base that they opened up to allow RPers in.
Just spent 10 mins reading their chat channel it looks very interesting I think I'll go spend some shore leave there tomorrow just to have a look around
We'd be happy to have you.
To the OP: I'm sorry you had a hard time today. We've been up to our eyeballs in invites. Quite frankly, it can get pretty hectic. I'd like to think that one of my members didn't intentionally ignore you. Please- feel free to come back anytime. If you have any questions, you should feel free to join our website / forums and ask any questions you like. We'd be happy to help get you acclimated to role play.

I thought people liked to troll there a lot and that kinda ruined it for the RP there?
On another note, last time I went to SB 381 I had a blast, granted it was a few months ago, I still had a lot of fun. When I use to go I just got involved in different conversations, I remember one time there was a person Role Playing as a Cardassian, and I got into a conversation where I and a group of people were talking with her about her homeworld Cardassia, of course while role playing.
I can understand with the recent blog that was just put out, their probably pretty busy getting people onto the starbase, so I can see it getting pretty crowded at that starbase.
But then again I have not gone there in months due to me playing other games and helping my fleet get to that tier 5 starbase, and of course real life.
But once you get use to RP, it is a lot of fun.
(Feel free to contact me out of character if you wish.)
Drozana is indeed a place to run into trolls. I won't name names but every RPer knows which group trolls RP. That said, Drozana is not a good place for RP regardless, which is a shame because it's kind of a neat place. If you want public RP, there are places but I won't name them here for fear of giving notice to people who enjoy ruining RP.
Anyway, I play Kenzi Alenis, CO of Starbase 381. I want to tell the OP that I'm sorry he didn't have as good of a time as he'd hoped but it sounds like he is learning. We all had to start somewhere.
To StarTrek1234567, we all take breaks. I myself was gone for around 6 months from STO. Feel free to drop by if you'd like and see what is going on. The starbase was quite busy last night and I saw our fleet members mingling with lots of guests as well as guests forming into their own little groups and having lively conversations about things like the Voth and what their plans are. It was a lot of fun!
Hi there. Find me at @jeremydajao in game
I started playing sto and attempting to RP a year or so ago. I was quickly discouraged by trolls and other neigh-sayers.
I have not visited this starbase yet and not conversed with any of the members of this fleet (as these days I'm mostly managing my own fleets) but I think this is a SUPERB facility offered and your members seem fantastically friendly and helpful on the whole. You should be proud of what you are doing here.
A thousand kudos from me and I myself may even consider a visit to your station.
A suggestion if I may? Maybe in this thread or another some sort of rudamentory guide could perhaps be posted to help those new to MMORP? Just to get some feel of how to start off with RP and to ovoid possible teething problems.
If this is already out there somewhere I retract my statement obviously, I may have missed it
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
I'd like to have some downtime and RP from time to time but would like some tips to start off.
I would happily relay this information to those in my fleets I know would love to RP but don't know how to confidently begin.
